| burninmylight said: Um, excuse me? Where in that post did I say that it happened because of my race? Where did I imply that it wouldn't have happened if I was as white as you are? Literally the only thing I said about race were that we were all minorities and, "you're delusional if you think this type of thing doesn't happen to people who look like me every single day." Yet, you somehow turn that into "This doesn't happen to white people, only us minorities." You literally - just said it. "you're delusional if you think this type of thing doesn't happen to people who look like me every single day." Nobody said it doesn't happen to people (like you and like others), what you felt the need specified was that it occurs specifically to people who look like YOU. (a minority).
The whole point was that it becomes a lot easier to understand someone's fear and apprehension of the police once you are put in a position where the very people who are supposed to protect you become the people that you fear may end your life or the lives of your loved ones. In your desire to prove that nothing could possibly be racist, you just end up sounding a bit insecure and unwilling to admit that not everyone else's experiences in American society are like yours. Is that racist? Not necessarily, but willfill ignorance isn't that much better. Who isn't afraid of the police? Who doesn't have a general awareness of nervousness around the police? I seriously haven't met a single person (regardless of race) that doesn't get slightly on edge when a policeman stops them regardless of the reason. You're elevating your fear because "I'm a minority" and it's complete bogus crap. Your annecdotal story happened to me, white as snow. Should I write ad nauseum about how my "fear" is justified of the police? "He told her to put her phone down, and when she said that she was scared to do so, he told her that she's not black, and that the police only kill black people. The police officer is now under investigation." You're telling me there is nothing racist about that? Dude, you are in such denial that you probably think the Ku Klux Klan were a bunch of guys dressing up as ghosts on Halloween. Others in this thread have already posted statistics on how much more likely blacks are to get arrested than whites, more likely to get harmed and so on, but why waste my time explaining this to you? You probably think black folks should thank your ancestors for slavery because it got our ancestors out of Africa. It's an obvious joke to the hysterical culture that has developed in present day (and an obvious sarcastic response to a hysterical, borderline insane woman). Like others in the thread, I think he should be disciplined for simply not upholding a professional standard. As for the comment being racist? For that that to be true, you would have to believe he WASN'T being sarcastic, I'm not quite sure we know that factually. As for your strawman arguments? Some of the first slavers were in the Middle east and Africa. While we're making unfounded arguments, you're one of those maroons who believes that the evil white man was the sole proprietor of the slave trade.
So your perception of the police and their agression, use of force and intimidation, and willingness to violate your rights and put your loved ones in harm's way - long after realizing that you and they are not threats - didn't change at all afterward? Didn't even so much as get a little shaky? Sir, I think that says a lot more about your and your blind sense of unquestoning loyalty to authority if the answer if the answer is yes. They didn't violate my rights -- I moved around in the vehicle, I made them feel uneasy or gave them concern. They don't know me, they don't know who I am. They have a family they want to get home to as well, they don't go out "looking to shoot" people, contrary to your little ridiculous narrative.
EDIT: I was really close to saying that I bet I know who you voted for, but I decided not to. Then I decided to look into your post history and I was reminded you were the guy who posted this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8534288 Implying that the democratic party's early history as the KKK party has any bearing on today's landscape, among other things. If that's the sort of thing you're going to bring to the table, then yeah, I'd rather not be consorting with someone of your ilk. I don't think I have ever said this in the five or six years I have been a memberof this site, but please leave me alone. I do not want anything to do with you ever again. And I'm pretty sure we know who you voted for (Anti - Police, Muh victim status, views everything through a racial prism). Works both ways champ. And if you read the comment I responded to -- (Calling people of a political party bigots with absolutely no evidence) Me citing that the Democratic party has been all of those things (Founder of KKK, Jim Crow, Ex Klansmen Sentator until 2010) , I'm sorry that cold hard FACTS bother you. Your sensitivity really says it all. Go live within your delusional racially tainted vision for the rest of your life. Meanwhile, ponder why other people of all ethnicities continue to succeed by simply not being a victim and taking charge of their life. |
