Re: "Black Lives Matter"
Stop promoting the stereotypical attitude and lifestyle that a non-black sees promoted almost everywhere by the most visual and vocal members of the black society.
Its my hot body, I'll do what I want
The lifestyle and attitude displayed by these visual and vocal members instill fear into others.
So?
I doubt the policeman that was a part of this was not afraid of what he sees on a daily basis. He was hated not just because he was dressed in blue but also because he was white. Keep that in mind when relieving Garner of guilt.
I haven't relieved Garner of guilt. He obviously resisted arrest.
But is that really something that deserves death? And from what, selling untaxed cigarettes?
How much money in taxes did the state loose because of his tax avoidance?
How much money in taxes did the state spend in this case?
They spent a bunch of taxes and killed a guy, but hey, at least we can rest assured that less cigarettes are being sold without being taxed.
Phew.
When a large portion of the songs written by black hip hop artists demonstrate an overt hatred of non-blacks, namely whites, what do you expect the reaction to be?
Pity.
The reaction should be FEAR and suspicion. That's typical human nature. Fear what you know hates you and wants to see your destruction. It absolutely goes both ways on the race spectrum. To deny that is to live with your head in the sand.
Wow, are you really afraid of black people taking over? That's hilarious.
Seriously, why should someone listen to a genre of music that openly hates others regardless of the listeners color?
I dunno, why are you listening to it? Or, how else are you so familiar with it?
Lil Wayne is absolutely no better of an example than Charles Manson. His hatred permeates his listeners thoughts and actions the same as Manson's thoughts and actions permeated and controlled his followers.
But because Lil Wayne is black, he gets a free ride???
I don't listen to Lil Wayne's music.
I heard a portion of one song but I couldn't understand what he was saying.
How absurd is that? Is that not discrimination toward Manson? (And BTW, I'm no fan of Manson.)
Manson had a more hand-on approach that allowed him to directly control his cult, and that adds more culpability.
So then, because the police do not get indicted is an example of injustice? Perhaps it is. But, do they automatically NEED to be indicted BECAUSE they are police officers?
No, but they might ought to be indicted every time they kill a person.
Maybe not every single time, but that should be determined by a third party and not by themselves.
How absurd is that? How discriminatory is that?
Less absurd that allowing them to grade their own homework. They're policing themselves and getting away with murder. That shit needs to stop.
Given that they're allowed to have a badge, maybe we should hold them to a higher standard.
But, perhaps there is more that goes on in the courtroom than the media would like you to believe.
Evidence you don't get to see? Another side to the story?
Actually, most of it probably goes on in the prosecutors office before the courtroom is even considered.
The grand jury system is incredibly corrupt and needs to be changed.
How much evidence was reported as true in the Mike Brown case before the media had to recant their stories?
I dunno, turn off the TV.
The Guardian article you cite evokes Mike Brown as some sort of martyr, which he was not.
I couldn't care less about the particular individuals in these cases.
But I do have a problem with the grand jury system.
Try thinking that maybe Garner was not actually the innocent person that the media portray him to be. He had to have been warned by the police. He ignored their warnings. He decided his own fate as well.
Nah, I don't see it the same way. I don't have a problem with the police doing their jobs, but they need to calm down and stop killing people.
Garner resisted arrest, but he did not deserve to be choked out.
The police have a problem with people not respecting their authoritah, and they are killing people because they have contempt for cops.
Neither of those things deserve the death penalty.
The rectal race. I just hate assholes. Whatever color or creed they are, I just hate assholes.

Re: Super Predator Myth -- and it' s legacy today
That's like saying we all have lust in the heart, therefore we could accuse any man of rape just for looking at a woman. You can't hold people responsible for what's in their minds or you might as well just disband the police and every civil institution and go for total anarchy.

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Re: Is America Racism Happy?
What's with the video? There are certainly real instance of racism.
That doesn't mean all accusations of racism are true.
That's the SAE fraternity that the woman in your video is the House Mother of.
If you're the house mom of a frat that has songs dedicated to them not allowing black people, then its not a stretch to think that you laughing and singing a rap song's lyrics stems from racism rather than your love of the genre.

Re: Is America Racism Happy?
Their actions were inexcusable but that has little to do with the old woman singing rap songs.
Isn't she the house mom for that chapter?
They're singing nigger, she's singing nigger... Yeah, totally unrelated
She might be racist, but her singalong video doesn't demonstrate that she is.
Not conclusively. And you have to look at it in isolation to keep yourself from seeing the racism.
And even if she is racist, what of it? People are free to be racists.
And people are free to be outraged by racism.
In Message 476 you asked what the cause of the outrage was.
She's laughing and singing nigger and she's the house mom of a frat (the chapter) that has songs about not letting niggers in.
Is it starting to make sense?

Re: From sea to shining sea.
But the reports of these police incidents that are behind all the protests failed to produce any evidence of racism to my mind. So the protests just hit me as unjustifiable mayhem based on nothing.
That's because you think the protests were just based on those police incidents being racist.
They weren't, there's a lot more to it, I explained this to you in detail:
Message 239
Message 253
Message 254
Message 310
Again, if you cannot see that the protests are being based on something larger than just those police incidents being racist, then you are never going to understand what it is about.

Re: From sea to shining sea.
But I'm not claiming to offer evidence sufficient to decide who's at fault in a criminal case.
Are you messing with me?
Could you please explain to me why you think that I am deciding who is at fault in a criminal case?
I repeated explained to you that the particulars of these police incidents are not the main drive behind the Black Lives Matter protests.
When I tell you that it does not matter if the cops were racist or not, you say that I have not provided evidence that they were racist.
When I tell you the particulars of these cases are unimportant and its not about that, you say that I have not provided evidence that they are racist.
When I tell you that the protests are from something bigger than these cases, and that you need to stop thinking about this cases as the sole cause, you say that I have not provided evidence for who is at fault in these cases.
You keep saying that the Black Lives Matter protests are based on nothing. That's not true.
And its important for people like you to understand what they are really based on.
But whenever I try to explain it to you, all you can do is focus on the particular police incidents and the lack of evidence of racism in them.
What do I have to do to get you to understand this? That its not about the particulars in those cases, its about a much bigger and broader problem.
Or are you just having some fun in trolling me, or something?

Re: From sea to shining sea.
Doesn't the fact that Black Lives Matter was started in 2012, before either of Brown or Garner cases, prove that it cannot be based on those events?
