When you feel the need to write that to justify your comment, you should probably re-evaluate the comment you wrote in the first place. Why do you think a black man with no criminal record whatsoever was the one who pulled this off? Not long after the previous 2 police shootings, some Nashville cop (with 8 years on the force no less) said probably in jest he would have shot the guy in Minnesota 5 times instead of 4. Do you think that kind of rhetoric from a cop no less helps the situation when folks are trying to come to terms with why a presumed innocent man got shot in front of his 4 year old? Do you think the black people who have been accosted by him would feel justified that they were right to think it was all unfair after hearing that? Things is police pretty much never get any punishment after cases like those 2 shootings. I expect no less from the latest cases. Worst they will get would be slaps on the wrist. Just watch. Blacks gangsters in Chicago kill other blacks in the overwhelming majority of cases not cops or white people so what do you think the latter groups are purportedly scared of? Whats funny about comments like yours is folks like you never stop to realize that even the most dangerous black neighborhoods in Detroit or Chicago you can think of have white people who have lived there all their lives. For proof as clear as day, look no further that a famous celebrity called Eminem. There is no such thing as a pure black neighborhood. In many cases, others live there and have done so for years. What caused all of this is a historic vicious cycle and to deny this is to fail to see the full picture. Historically, blacks got no justice in this country and then taught their kids to expect none who taught their kids to expect none and onwards till today. I hope I do not have to explain why this is the case. |
Yeah I have to agree with you on this one! Any time people have to specify that that their best friend was this or family member is that, usually what's to follow is something that's going to completely negate what they just said. Once again if people want to find the root of where this mindset stems from Americans as a whole have to start educating themselves on the history of what's taken place in our country.
Young minorities are exposed at very young ages to the injustice of authority in poverty stricken neighborhoods. Just ask any one of them how many times they've fit the description, or been pulled over for absolutely no reason in a car and asked if you're the owner of the vehicle. Or how about walking down the street and a white woman clutches her purse or looks down and away.
I myself have gone to places like Best Buy right after work with a pocket full of cash to spend and can't get anyone to help me with my purchases before they've helped everyone else that looked like they might have had more money to spend than me. Stuff like that happens all of the time and most of us minorities just take the high road by walking out and or taking our business elsewhere. Stuff like this is taught by generations and generations of parents to their kids. Racism exists and will continue to as long as the color of your skin means that you will be treated with inequality...
