Wasn't Mike Brown's dad an absentee father anyway?

SHHHHH
Silence, unaffiliated non BLM individual!

Mike Brown wasn't an innocent teen gunned down by a cop and Darren Wilson was exonerated but that doesn't stop people from lying and repeating the lie, "Hands UP don't SHOOT!"

So why should it stop a brother from reaping the benefits of his thug son's death?
I mean Mike would WANT him to have it! He's his DAD.

Get with the program.

According to the New York Times he was currently living with his grandmother and had lived with his mother when he was younger. No mention is made of his father.

The actual correct answer is that it's because the kinds of people who make the decision on what to go after are all educated in the same schools, hence they all think in the same socially-liberal slant.

As a member of the elite due to where I've been schooled, this is spot on. The people with whom I went to school think in vastly the same terms, all come from the rich parts of the Northeast, California, and a couple of liberal parts of Texas, and literally consider everything between New York and California to be flyover states with an airport located midway in Chicago.

I would say it goes even deeper than that. A lot of them don't think you qualify as a worthwhile human being unless you went to one of such schools, and automatically assume kinship and mutual understanding of your positions if you in fact have. Even if the individual they are thinking that about is a foreign leader.

Part of the reason Bernie Sanders never had a shot is because he went to Brooklyn College and the University of Chicago. Trump went to UPenn, which while ostensibly an Ivy League does not have quite the same cachet. Remember that stupid debate back in the 2016 primaries over what constituted a "Lesser" Ivy? That shit actually matters to these people.

Oh it's so elitist it's actually somewhat absurd. Ask someone who went to Columbia about Brown and they'll sneer. But they still consider Brown part of the "club," though maybe in a red headed stepchild kind of way. How far back do you have to go to find a Supreme Court justice who didn't go to either Yale, Harvard, or Columbia law (before ACB)? I think O'Connor went to Stanford, and she was appointed by Reagan. And even Stanford, as ridiculous as it sounds, is considered in a somewhat distinct category different from the Ivy grads that fill the top seats in our government.

I might consider Penn a "lesser Ivy" (though mostly because of how much they care about their business reputation and making money) but the fact that the world view of the elite is dominated by Ivies with a little thrown in from Berkeley, Stanford, Chicago, and Duke is absurd. If you're not in the club, it's severely limiting. There's a reason why people who advise applicants for law school say to have a top 14 or bust attitude if they're trying to make ~200k out of law school or become a federal clerk (and then make 200k after a year of that). If you're not in that small group of schools, your chances are basically miniscule. Trump's appointment of ACB was huge because she's not part of the elite club, yet the liberal media claims he was an elitist billionaire. Mika Brzezinski's father was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission—making her the scion of someone who could be said to be part of the Illuminati (or as close to that idea as possible)—yet she preaches to people on TV she wouldn't deign to speak to in real life.

If you ever wonder why nothing is done about the opioid epidemic, it's because in the mind of the elite that doesn't exist. They haven't run into anyone with opioid addictions. Nobody in their family has. And for those who suffer from the epidemic, they're all judged uneducated redneck hicks. I could go on and on about how revealing it is to have gone to school with the people who become NYT writers, politicians, NGO workers, elite lawyers, etc. but it's just kind of depressing after a certain point.

Pretty much. It's also why they fall over themselves regarding civil rights - the minority populations they have interacted with are all the absolute cream of the crop at best. It's complete detachment from wider reality.

I forget, besides ACB and Clarence Thomas for his bachelor's is there anyone who hasn't gone solely to the schools you mentioned or ones of similar stature (I want to say the University of Oxford for some reason?)

Certainly the people behind the Biden administration pulling the strings are the elite cohort that stand abreast the Obamas and the Clintons. Just look at how hard they pushed for Neera Tanden. If a Supreme Court spot opens up (please stay healthy Clarence) I would put money on it being a Harvard or Yale grad who gets nominated. It's probably less trying to manifest something than just acting on attitudes they already have and which have been inculcated in the federal government since, at least, Bush Jr.

They are starting to arrest BLM/Antifa terrorists finally? Dare I hope?

Arrest does not equal prosecution; the DA can decline to do so.

Plenty of BLM/Antifa get arrested, many just don't get charged or are let off with a slap on the wrist.

EDIT: It's like stuff falls out of the sky to prove my point, see here:

I'd argue that it has been slowly going on since the 60s, since the bureaucracy was rapidly grown and empowered in order to try and prevent race riots by implementing far-overbroad civil rights legislation.

Honestly, I still think that any new apointee will only be like Sotomayor and be an advocate/in favor of court packing.
