I am not seeing the racism here. She said an African American man was threatening her life. How is that wrong? He’s African American, and she’s lost her job and lost her dog.
The left doesn’t worship the state. The left worships equality and feels the state is a useful means to achieve that end.
You’re not going to get far with convincing people you’re not a racist when you throw in lines like this.
The left worships power and preaches equality as a ruse to convince the naive to vote.
I’m not the one grabbing TVs and vacuum cleaners in response to police brutality. Just saying.
And really, if one of my kin were out looting and they brought home a vacuum cleaner I’d be so disappointed.
Agreed; however, I was merely addressing the logistics of the inane, asinine, and ludicrously flippant comment so many bigots toss out, to wit: “They can migrate to another country”.
Ooh, I bet you giggled when you came up with that korny krack…
Yes, but were any of them black?
He’s a fair ways off to be “coming up to her” anyway, and in fact in the video he tells ** her** to stay back.
I for one am pleased to see him supporting all those immigrants fleeing violence and persecution in Latin America.
That is some spectacular projection in a week when the right are trying to control or block social media for daring to correct overt and vicious lying, are deliberately undermining the electoral system and are using their power to block investigations into - and convictions of - their cronies.
It hurt and in this case killed a black person; that’s what the police have always largely been for. Terrorizing and killing black people has always been one of their central functions in the US. Law enforcement is a distant second in priority for the police (at best) to enforcing racial and class divisions.
And these cops specifically belong to the “occupying army” school of policing I understand; they are a bunch of white racists who don’t even live there, but live outside the city and have no connection to the community.
Yeah, if you asked if my dogs could have one of your biscuits I’d say no thanks. The reason being you’re likely offering Milkbone brand biscuits, which my dogs would graciously accept, then drop and walk away. Mine are choosy beggars.
Those dog treats come in black?
Not to mention that in the video the woman actually tells him she’s going to make a false report.
Look, all octopus is saying is that if racists are making the US too dangerous for black people, the black people should leave.
But note that octopus is only saying this out of concern and admiration for those black people. Not for any other reason.
I wonder why people like octopus don’t tell white people who are angry they can’t get a haircut to go find another country if they are so unhappy with this one?
Let me be the third person to apologize for engaging with the racist, disingenuous troll in this thread and appeal to others to stop it as well. Rather than arguing over bullshit statements like “the left worships power”, can we instead discuss the continuing stream of horrendous news regarding black people in America?
That one is easy! He understands white people that need haircuts. He doesn’t understand people that need to be black.
That thought should be dismissed out of hand, for the simple reason that it puts the responsibility to act on the victims and not the perpetrators. Black people in America, as a class and as an ethnic group, have been victimized, and yet we’re somehow suggesting that it’s their responsibility to consider leaving as an option. Shit, it wasn’t even their ancestors’ choice to come here in the first place. They are the descendants of a race-based underclass in a racist and political system.
He probably would, but his suggestion misses the point: white people generally enjoy greater protection in this society than black people.
White fugitives who are armed, assumed to have murdered multiple victims, and on the run like Peter Manfredonia can murder multiple victims are typically taken alive while black men suspected of committing very minor crimes are choked to death. You’d have to be fucking blind, deaf, and dumb (mostly the latter) not to see the disparity.
Black people die because police culture assumes that their relationship with black people is inevitably adversarial, which probably has a lot to do with the history and role of police in American society. There’s a long history of local law enforcement and militias being used for the express purpose of keeping black people and minorities in their place.
There’s a reason that black people assume that police officers are either racist or agents of racism - because historically, the evidence points to this.
We cannot solve the problem of police brutality until we stop allowing police to claim that “I was scared” was an excuse to kill or overreact, and until we untangle and really get honest about the historical relationship between agencies of white power and their impact on minority communities.
Are you really as fucking stupid as you would have to be to ask this question?
You’re probably right. I’ve seen dumber comments posted in all seriousness on this message board, so you never know.
I’ve seen that exact comment posted in all seriousness elsewhere. She was just describing him!
It’s amusing how foolish you all look when you argue against a fictional point of view. Not that I expect better from a site where harpy is hate speech but I digress.
To address your ridiculous assertion… would I advise a white person to leave over a haircut? Yes. Just like all the so-called white celebrities should have left after Bush got elected. Funny they are still here.
With your logic and the logic of a few of the other dishonest fools on this site you’d advise the Syrian refugees to ask Assad for an extra strong dose of his special chemicals lest they be thought of as cowards.
