PoliticsIn Your Own Opion, What Is The Solution To Racism by Ovie56(op): 10:08pm On Jun 05, 2020
If America doesn't have so much influence on the world we won't be discussing this in Nigeria, but it is what it is.

In light of recent event of the brutal and unjust killing of George Floyd a black American by a White Police officer, Floyd who was arrested for spending a fake $20 note was killed in what is clearly an unjust act of Police brutality, the #BlackLivesMatter has been trending, Protester, Rioters and looter took over the streets of American cities to show their anger and to take advantage of the protest to steal in the case of thw looters.

What i'm yet to see is the way forward, solution to Racism.
Everyone including celebs that has big platform om social media are showing their outrage but no one is suggesting a practical solution.

The proposed solution i've see online include Defunding and Disbanding the Police departments which seems more a lunatic suggestion rather than a practical solution

And if you think President Trump is the cause of all this you are wrong, a black man was the president in 2009-2017 yet we recorded more cases of Racism and police brutality during his administration.

Democrats and Republicans and just using the masses for their power tussle especially the Democrats, no party has suggested a piece of Legislation to be enact to curb this and i personally don't think there can be a special law for Black and minorites group.
we are just reacting emotionally, no one is thinking of a way forward.

So what do you think can be done.

CrimeRe: George Floyd: Mercedes Cars Damaged As Rioters Vandalise Showroom (video) by Ovie56(m): 5:07pm On Jun 01, 2020

Actually, the Democrats are not behind this

Exactly the same riots happened under Obama, and have happened in one way or the other for decades.

The issue is this. Black people in the US have been at the mercy of the racist system for a long time. Now, I won't deny things have improved...it used to be far worse (an older relative of mine once turned down an opportunity to study in the US back in the day because of the horror tales he heard from senior colleagues).

The problem is, for many years, black people could be shot by the police, shot even by ordinary citizens (yes, it happened)...and nothing was done. And these things add up and make people angry.

An example. In the late 1940's, a black young man, who had fought with distinction in World War 2, was shot dead , without provocation, by a white policeman. His younger brother, for his own safety, had to be moved to another part of the USA because the night they brought his elder bro's corpse home, an older relative took one look at the guy's face, and saw the face of a very very angry young man, who if care was not taken, would have exacted revenge...which would have led to the whole black community suffering severe reprecusions. A few days later the man was sent to relatives in California (where he thrived well by the way...but that's another story)

The thing is, over and over again, even in these improved times, black males are more likley to be failed by the system. Before this issue with George....there was a case where a white woman called the police on a black man and lied that he was threatening her. IF htere hadn't been recording that black man could have ended up being shot.

What you are seeing is anger that has built up over generations. It is not easy to go away. And yes, it is very self destructive.(such violence drives out investment and jobs from black areas). But it is understandable. And for once, it isn't something that can be fixed quickly by any president...Trump or anyone else.(It happened several times under Obama.). You cannot fix anger that is generations worth.
85% of those cities including DC have a Democrat mayor and governor.

Telvin7:
if you have not touched the phone , don't say trash.
A71 uses the Snapdragon 730 , fhd+ AMOLED display, very clear main camera, the body is slim though and light , gorilla glass 3 or so.
If you have comprehension problem say so and don't quote me and say thrash, i was talking generally about A-series which are mainly Transsion phones with amoled and branding, and now that i've handled A71 i can say it applies to it too.

It has plastic body and plastic back, thrashy camera and crappy single speaker, no IP68 or any protection it uses snapdragon730 top of the line is 765 and it cost #170k+ is that not just branding power? Rubbish

David Beckham, jeje if it is a world cup game Messi will probably send the ball to go and meet God in heaven, he can not be trusted in An argentina shirt, ge can not not be trusted outside Camp Nou sef unless it is a La liga game, Man is like a wifi, works well in Spain, outside? Not so much
CR7 freekick will hit the wall no matter how short the wall is, Ronaldinho might come to the pitch drunk or hangover from last night's party, man can't be trusted,
Pirlo is good but compared to the rest he didn't score that much

Best pick is Beckham

PhonesIphone 11 Outsold The Samsung Galaxy S20 Series Combined by Ovie56(op): 7:56pm On May 27, 2020
Apple's iPhone 11 was the most in- demand smartphone during the first quarter of 2020, even as the world weathered a global pandemic, according to new research shared today by research firm Omdia . Apple shipped an estimated 19.5 million ‌iPhone 11 models during the quarter, thanks to the more affordable price tag of the device along with its robust feature set. "For more than five years-- even amid shifting conditions in the wireless market and the global economy--one thing has remained consistent in the smartphone business: Apple has taken either the first or second rank in Omdia's global model shipment ranking," said Jusy Hong, director of smartphone research at Omdia. "Apple's success is the result of its strategy to offer relatively few models. This has allowed the company to focus its efforts on a small number of products that appeal to a broad selection of consumers and sell in extremely high volumes." Samsung's Galaxy A51 was the second most popular smartphone with 6.8 million units shipped, followed by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro, with 6.6 and 6.1 million units shipped, respectively. Apple's iPhone XR, which was the best- selling smartphone in the year-ago quarter, took the fourth spot with 4.7 million units shipped. The ‌iPhone XR was more popular than the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, though it's worth noting that those two smartphones were counted individually rather than together. Apple shipped an estimated 4.2 million iPhone 11 Pro Max models and an estimated 3.8 million ‌iPhone 11 Pro models, for a combined total of 8 million smartphones shipped. Had those been counted as a combined total, the two models would have placed second in the shipment rankings. Omdia is a research firm that was established following the merger of the research division of Informa Tech and the IHS Markit technology research portfolio.
