Here’s a more trusted liberal source: Officer's Fatal Shooting Of Unarmed Man Dillon Taylor Was Justified: Prosecutors | HuffPost Latest News
And I’m sure Mr. Glutton has an explanation why this story doesn’t disprove his hypothesis. Alabama student shot/killed by police.
If I did what Michael did according to the released statements, I would expect to be shot 100%.
Or the story of Dillon Taylor that got shot 2 days after Mike Brown.
The officer was black? How do you know that? It wasn’t mentioned in the Huffpost article. Conspiracy theory???
No , that was from a press conference by the police chief describing the police officer involved in shooting as non white. I jumped to conclusion, it could be hispanic too. But it doesnt change the answer to the question that if Micheal Brown were white he would be still alive
Oh, well non-white and non-black don’t count. It’s gotta be black or white to count.
That was one of the most vile racist “articles” (to mimic that site’s overuse of quotes) I’ve ever read. You should be proud.
That’s why we’re past the tipping point in terms of political correctness, That article IS NOT racist WHATSOEVER! If you take it that way it’s because you’ve become brainwashed by this liberal nonsense past the point of common sense. It is not racist to describe a community & culture that is shit as being shit, it is the truth. The plain, ugly, politically incorrect truth. Or does that not matter? Blacks are not genetically inferior or any rubbish like that. But their abandonment of family & education has led them directly to this. And black leaders know it and don’t care. Having throngs of ‘victims’ just keeps them in power.
If a southern white redneck commits a crime against a minority nobody is going to deny they and their culture is to blame in perpetuating that kind of behavior. Nobody’s even going to ponder the ‘big picture’ reasons as to why their culture got that way or how to change it, they’re just dismissed as ignorant rednecks! Well uneducated, racist, urban blacks are no different. They hate the same minorities that rednecks do: Mexicans, Middle Easterners, gays, Jews etc. and white police the most. And that article is a perfectly logical, forensic examination as to why & how.
No, it’s racist, but I’m not surprised you don’t think so - it’s rare for racists to actually believe they’re racists. I’ve had enough discussions with your brand of racist to know it’s pointless to try and argue, but I will say I’m 100% positive I’ve lived in more poor, majority black neighborhoods in my life than either you or the author of the piece and in my experience everything there is filtered through a lens of prejudice and confirmation bias that doesn’t really square with reality.
I am not a racist for believing in the facts of that article, and I take issue with you calling me one. I grew up in the northeast US around black kids & their families. The primary schools I went to were probably 60/40 white black. They weren’t like these ignorant racist scum in Ferguson (except for a few bad apples on both sides), otherwise I wouldn’t have been friends with them. Character & integrity are what matter, and these are so obvious (or more often the lack there of) as to not even need discussing. And it is not racist to call people out for not having any just because they happen to be black. Being black is not an excuse for being an uneducated, racist criminal.
vdare.com regularly publishes articles by white nationalists, anti-semites, and other racists. I wouldn’t cite that website if one wants to avoid association with such folks.
Sorry, Ants, racist. Clue: when you describe an entire community as ‘shit’, this is gross overgeneralization, and something bigots do. BTW, I’m on the ‘justified shooting’ side of the argument. You’re still a racist. Check out your earlier post “these people”…oh, NM. The odds you’ll actually consider looking at yourself about this are infinitesimal.
Yeah, you are. Especially since you believe they’re facts.
Which fact in Mr Kirkpatrick’s article was most egregiously wrong?
And assuming the facts are wrong, does it make one racist to erroneously believe such a fact?
The black community has gone so far off the edge with this one (trying to equate a racist thug like Brown with people like Medger Evers or Emmit Till) it’s inevitable that sites like this are going to have some validity on certain things. Louis Farrakhan is a flaming anti-Semite racist, yet when push comes to shove he’ll get quoted as being at least partially right.
The ‘community’ and ‘those people’ I’m referring to are not blacks in general, but the uneducated, racist rioting ones. This would be obvious if you weren’t so scared to death of sounding politically incorrect (Oh heavens to Betsy, he said ‘those people’). This is why I call political correctness the ‘new fascism’ or Orwellian newspeak. Forget actions & character and the truth, only ‘sounding’ inoffensive to everyone (except whites) matters now.
Nothing obvious about it all, since you never specified it.
Nice backpedal, though.
Yeah, it’s not obvious to ‘you people’ who naturally assume anyone who dares criticize African-Americans for anything whatsoever must be a racist. You’ve all proven my point, that political correctness rules your thought & speech. Well good luck with that.
And as an aside, you apparently haven’t noticed that a major theme of The Straight Dope is the truth. Cecil’s politics tend to lean left, but he never lets that make him deny the plain truth about any issue or question, regardless of whether it fits into anyone’s comfort zone… Political correctness is the absolute antithesis to the very core of what this board is about. And since the vast majority of regular posters here agree with this I don’t think there’s much point in continuing this discussion…
Oh wow. I saw that article and was viscerally repulsed at it. I’m glad someone called the poster out for putting it here. Some blacks are idiots. Some whites are idiots. Grouping my daughter’s sweet, smart, hardworking Haitian babysitter with any given other black person is just so vastly inappropriate and unfair. That’s like saying I have something in common with Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell because we’re both white.
