So you mean to tell me that the kid in Inglewood, California deserved to get the sh*t beat out of him for having a speech impediment. Besides when have you seen a black cop beating up on another person. My people get hit with the taser and yours get treated like royalty. Obviously you must be lost since the government did everything it could to stop the Black Panthers but did not intervene with the KKK. Your not black so you don't see what I see. Not to be arguing Im just stating fact.
that is one of the most blantantly racist thing i've heard.
'my people' ? WTF? do think it's blacks against whites?
police are human. humans make mistakes. there have been white teenagers shot too for no apparent reason. however, only the black ones make it into the headlines.
when have you seen a white cop beating on another white guy? when have you seen an white cop beating on a black guy? are white cops only beating on black guys? or are you so racist, you refuse to see it when white cops beat up white guys.
i'll assume that 'my people' are blacks.
and of course, that would mean that blacks get hit by tasers. which is, of course true.
i'll assume that 'your people' are whites.
and the queen of enland is white, so that is true.
however, white people get hit by tasers too.
black people are princes and kings and queens too.
what you fail to understand is that statistics need to be taken in context.
sure; more blacks are arrested, etc. (% wise).
however; what you fail to realize is how much context plays into stats.
there are more blacks (% wise) than whites (% wise) below the poverty line. etc. etc.
it is not blacks that get tasered, it is poor people.
you are mistaking discrimination based upon appearance with discrimination based upon race.
four senarios:
if a black 'dude' walks up to you, with his pants quite baggy and saggying, with a doo rag, oversized shirt, 'bling', etc. with his hand in his pocket, yelling at you at get away from his car
if a white 'dude' walks up to you, with his pants quite baggy and saggying, with a doo rag, oversized shirt, 'bling', etc. with his hand in his pocket, yelling at you at get away from his car
if a black man, well dressed and shaven, walks up to you, with his hand in his pocket and yells at you to get off his car
if a white man, well dressed and shaven, walks up to you, with his hand in his pocket and yells at you to get off his car
and you have a taser
which ones are you going to taser?
about the black panthers.
does the fact that they protested by massing, all with loaded weapons, contribute, you think, to the government's efforts to stop it?
does the fact that one of thier leaders killed a cop have anything to do with the government's efforts to stop them?
does the fact that thier leaders are militants have anything to do with the government's efforts to stop them?
The black panthers' pledge is racist.
the KKK is also racist.
however, they do not create a armed mob in front of government offices.
just becuase the white guy gets treated better than the black guy does not mean the black guy was discriminated against.
to you, i say, you need to change your outlook. blacks and whites are not 'at war', nor are they natural enemies.
