So you identify with a peice of human garbage that has done nothing but commit assault and child molestation his whole life, just be use you share the same skin tone.

That would be like me identifying with Hitler because he is white.

Man I don't think I would have told that.

No I don't. But are you saying that his criminal record gives them the right to shoot him? Even if he was, there's this thing called the law. Which is mighty funny how you cats love to talk about law biding, but something like this happens and now it's okay that we forgo the justice system. Is that what we do now? Use a person's record to justify murder? I thought you were better than that...

Well yeah, Germany isn't obsessed with guns. Not to mention the airport the guards carry automatic weapons...

I don't need to read something to figure out what I already think about it

This is everything that is wrong with America.

I have never ever said it's ok for the cops to shoot someone because of his record. You keep making stuff up..also we both know if he was white we would not be talking about it

Comedy is tearing america apart

But that's what you're implying, no? Because it's not about his selling CD's or allegedly waving a gun at someone, that's what kick started the whole fiasco. The sexual assault was over 17 years ago. And let's be clear, if this happened to a white man, you best believe we'd be talking about it.

Let me get your honest opinion. Do you actually think there's this group out there suppressing white people getting killed by the police? White people have cell phones and camera, just like everyone else(even more). Who controls the media? Who controls the police? We're not pushing a narrative here, we're not in control of what's going on. We don't own anything of power or prestige that can keep you out of the news cycles.

So which is it? White people keeping other people from seeing what's going on, or it's not happening. Take your pick.

Not sure if you win the title for the most racist person on VJ, but you are definitely tied for first place. (Actually, I am just being considerate to anyone else who may put as much effort into it as you do; I think you are indeed #1 around here)

You do realize this place thrives on race bating? And it's not the black members who do the baiting...

[smilesammich 10,727]

OK Val I am sorry I cracked on you without reading it. I promise I will read it tonight.

On a lighter note . I saw several manatee today in the wild and several alligators.

Swam in a crystal clear spring. Let's not all loose our relgion over all the race hysteria.

i swear it isn't hysteria, just another perspective.

I did not mean you were hysterical, just that the embers of discontent are faced mightily for political reasons and because it gets viewer's.

I hereby absolve you of white guilt.

It's just amazing to me that we can all go to work and school together and still be so divided, and both sides are to blame

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

One common theme to both sides of the ball of yarn here, that I wonder how many actually have noticed... We're all sick of the divide.

i don't have white guilt. actually the only time i feel racial guilt is when i bite my tongue instead of speaking the truth, for the sake of family or complacency.

i want to see a total upheaval, away from militarized police back to community based policing. peace officers. thats what the majority of americans want and need, police included.

Why don't you sign on to go put your life on the line in some of these inner city neighborhoodso run by super predators and gangsee that have no morals or social awareness and get back to me on the Barney the dinosaur tickle fest approach to police
