lol. like i said i'm not saying this specific story is fake or that this type of **** is ok

i'm saying that clearly there is a directed media campaign to drum this **** up at this point... every single incident where a cop and a black person have an altercation gets huge press cause that's the big story atm. and for whatever reason, it makes white liberals feel better about themselves to "fight the man" alongside their black friends, as if police brutality is the main issue facing black americans atm. 400-500 people are murdered in chicago each year due to gang violence. most of them are black. black people have a lot worse to look out for than the cops in the majority of black neighborhoods.. and this campaign to reform the police by amplifying every little incident on the national stage and rallying around it is poison. it will bring you nothing but further hostility from both sides.

Altercation? Don't you mean armed white cops shooting unarmed black kids?

And you and your liberal and media excuse for everything. Give it a rest man.

I think he thought that Samuel would have gone all Jules on his ass if he'd have said it.

I actually call bs on that. I'm not "gettin' with my black brothers" (or in this case sister): I just think that whether the colour matters or not, the fact that this kind of thing can happen in this day and age is just unbelievable.

And the trooper was suspended for --- wait for it -- lack of courtesy?? :yikes:
Don't you think the media should be highlighting this? If they weren't you'd be saying there was some conspiracy to keep such stories out of the news. Can't win with you man, can't win. :(

Wanna know what amuses me.....All of you guys are white^. Actually all these threads amuse me because you talk about the situations so clinically. You all watch whatever channel appeals to your political veiws, or read something and spout it back on the forum. Im fucking annoyed by it so often I dont chime in but every so often. Just so you soulless nerds know your talking about people, with thoughts, emotions, hearts and souls.Not a news blip or a stat. Y'all some stone cold honkeys and stop talking about black folks like we,(I) can't read.

DwnWthVwls 07-23-2015 06:01 PM

We talk about white people issues clinically too. How do you solve a problem if you can't maintain objectivity? Talk about environmental issues objectively too.. I guess since we aren't plants that also amuses you?

RoxyRollah 07-23-2015 06:03 PM

Thanks yer emtional midgetry is always ****ing insightful Morgan.

DwnWthVwls 07-23-2015 06:06 PM

Instead of bashing us you could explain how you feel and perhaps enlighten me (anyone else with an open mind).

You really think this comment downplays the severity of the problem?

Obviously, the racial issue is a legitimate concern but the bigger picture is how cops are functioning as a whole. I feel like this should be taken step by step, and the first step is reforming the system as a whole, then the focus can shift to racial profiling, crimes against minorities, and police bias.

Thb yer post is less offensive. How do you think you'd feel even if you were raised by white people and completely comfortable with white people yet somewhere you hang out talks about you in a fashion that makes even the most confused yet comfortable black chick a tad uncomfortable.
