Black Man Claims ‘Racist’ Treatment by Police, Cop’s Body Cam Shows He’s a Liar

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

What?

OK.

1. If you were to say "I am proud of being white".

2. I would ask you what it is about being white makes you proud.

3. Depending on what your answer is, I might well decide that you are indeed a 'Nazi skinhead racist'.

There's a huge difference between a black person and an African. Not to mention the whole Apartheid thing that went on over there. And even in 2014, there's a lot of racial strife in that country:http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/20/19039961-all-white-town-fights-to-preserve-segregation-in-mandelas-rainbow-nation

Right, there was/is racial strife in Africa, where the majority of the population is Black. So why does the US bear the brunt of racial injustice in the world?

I didn't read it. no need to. AA is racism plan and simple...see spot run

Yes, you are not interested in participating in an exchange of ideas. Who knew.

I think the US bears the brunt of racial injustice in the US. I'm not sure where you get this idea that extends beyond that.

I think it is reasonably clear to most that racial injustices in Africa are the result of European colonialism during the 18th and 19th centuries. That's why, for instance, the UK supports international development in those countries through the commonwealth.

That being said, I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that the US bears the blame for racial injustice in the middle east through its own colonialist foreign policies.

White cop called to scene of reported burglary.

Sees white man and two sons carrying television, xbox 360 and box of jewelry out of building.

Cop says " excuse me sir, we've had a report of a burglary. Have you seen any black men around here?

Probably because a large amount of black people are here in the US. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I like visiting, but I know with the language/culture barrier, and the fact I'm a foreigner, I wouldn't make it too far.

Not to mention, we're considered a Superpower, so the whole world is looking at us.

And it still goes on today. Look at this forum. Look at the reactions when a victim is black. We go looking for faults. We instantly go looking for blame. Black victims are put on trial for their own murders.

The reaction on this forum for the most part when a victim is black, is because folks like you constantly claim that the ONLY reason they were a victim in the first place is because they were black. You can't have it both ways. You try to claim victimhood based on race, but when someone points out facts about black crime or the epidemic of single parenthood in the black community, that's racist.

Oh please. Take a good look at the Ray Rice/Adrian Peterson threads. Even before I said a word, a discussion about black people took place. But when I posted about the US judge who beat his wife, no stats about white crime or single parenthood. Why is that?

Probably because it was a married man who beat his wife. Parenthood doesn't play into the equation, nor does being single.

Ray Rice is married. Yet that didn't stop the flow of black men from single households stats being thrown up.

i'm all for it. lets hear your ideas.

............................

affirmative action definition

A term referring to various government policies that aim to increase the proportion of African-Americans, women, and other minorities in jobs and educational institutions historically dominated by white men. The policies usually require employers and institutions to set goals for hiring or admitting minorities.

sounds like 'overt institutional racism' to me. how about you?

I get that idea because whenever racism in the world is mentioned, the first country that comes out of someone's mouth is the US. The US bears the brunt of the blame for slavery, all the while there were many countries involved in the slave trade, including the home countries of those sold into slavery. But every time I see or hear a conversation about it, the only country ever mentioned is the US.

He wasn't married at the time of the incident. The fact that he came from a single parent household is relevant, whether he was white or black.

I know Black America is tired of being profiled, mistreated, and executed(physically and character assassination).

You have to remember, this has been going on for years. I try my best to contain my anger when I'm accused of stealing, or being a drug dealer, or not speaking proper English. It's not easy. And I know how I feel when I see black men and women killed by the police and the EMT's are sitting there letting them die because they can't be bothered. It adds fuel to the fire.

exactly the kind of insane rhetoric that is driving people away and making them turn deaf ears. Yes I know the case in New York but

1, It;s not routine

2. It happens to white people also

We have been over this.

Well the US was sort of defined by slavery during it's beginnings. It's an integral part of the history of the country.

As to your perception - my context for this is debates on here.
