Justice Dept. Inquirery to Focus on Practices of Police in Ferguson

I'm a white woman married to a white man. I'm trying to figure out how we have more power than our black President, or our black Attorney General, or the black CEO of American Express, or the black CEO of Xerox, or the black CEO of Merck, or the Hispanic CEO of Kodak, or the Hispanic CEO of GameStop, or the Hispanic CEO of ADP, or for that matter, my black boss....I could go on, but you get the picture. Because I read that whites hold "all of the power and most of the money".


Yeah, that one has me baffled too.

Compared to the powerlessness of the Canadian aboriginal, American blacks are the power.
 
Hating on people you have no power over is a waste of hate, because you can't do anything to them.

You just spinning your wheels without getting anything done.



Could you like stick to the point you have made and been challenged on?

How is it that whites have "all the power" with so many blacks in powerful positions, not the least of which is the "leader of the free world"
 
No, but the whites do have most of the power and almost all of the money.

OK, so now it's "most of the power".

How? Show where "whites" have "most of the power", especially since the president and much of the cabinet and congress is black?

You do realize that Obama has won two elections by virtue of the powerless black vote don't you?
 
Tell your story to the millions of black young men who don't have a job or are locked up, because I'm not buying it.

I'm sure they'll be glad to hear how good they're doing. :roll:

I have no "story" but questions you are either incapable of answering or are ignoring them.

Once more, and for the last time, are there no whites unemployed? And what dose employment have to do with "power"?
 
The Justice Department will open a broad civil rights investigation into police practices in Ferguson, Mo, where a white police officer killed an unarmed black teenager last month and set off days of racially charged unrest, the cities police chief and other officials said Wednesday.

Read the article here: http://nytimes.com/2014/09/04/us/politics/justice-dept-to-investigate-ferguson-police-practices.html?_r=0

The results of this investigation will be interesting, but I doubt that they will surprise many black people in Missouri.

In other words, the dog and pony show that Holder rolled into town found squat wrong related to the Michael Brown killing and is now trying to save face and appease the mouth-breathing racists like Sharpton and Jackson with a different dog and pony show.
 
Good the "storm troopers" can leave me the **** alone....

They can go about catching real criminals - if they're smart enough to find them (which they aren't) except for the idiot twelveteen gangsters hanging out on their driveways talking **** to anyone they actually believe they can beat up (which are usually old men/woman who are white).

Hilarious. Somehow it's always someone else committing crimes, breaking the law. And someone else's crime is always more important to investigate than yours.

Most means the majority, IOW: more than half.

Now you know.

How much power does a broke man sleeping under a bridge who hasn't eaten in a week have?

Do you have any ideas on that?

Yep, not only race but class (money) determines power in this society. I'm glad you've stumbled upon this verity, which is never talked about in the corporate media.

Somehow I doubt this is a subject conservatives want to broach as a response to claims of racism.

Are you serious.....or are you just testing for confirmation of something you already know?
 
What does that have to do with who's running the USA?

Who's doing the hiring and firing all over the USA?

This has got to be one of the most egregious examples of stereotyping I have ever seen. All American supervisors, managers, and HR personnel are white, now?
 
How many of them aren't white?

Well now, funny you should ask. Remember quotas? Large companies tended to congregate their quota hires in certain departments (done for several reasons), and HR was one of those. Take a walk into any multimillion dollar company's HR department these days and you're likely to see a rainbow so to speak.
 
Bump...

I'm aware of that.

That's two cities in a country with a population of over 300 million. Now do you see what I'm talking about?

What about Detroit? Chicago?

There are more White than any other group so it's likely they do run some cities.

O’REILLY: But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I
 
From the link:



If you have complaints of blacks committing crimes in an area then who, other than blacks in the area, would you consider as likely suspects to stop? We go through stops/searches of millions of airline passengers to catch a handful of "terrorists" and consider that a rational practice. It should be the responsibility of the NAACP to know the ratio of stops to arrests if that is the basis of their "profiling" complaint. If you have an arrest warrant (or citizen complaint) then you know the age, race and basic description of the person sought - you do not stop old white ladies if you are looking for a young black male.

St Louis County.
 
It's a " BROAD " investigation into overall Police practices.

NOT a specific investigation into Darren Wilsons actions because they know the truth. They've interviewed CREDIBILE witnesses.

Its their way of placating the idiots who jumped to conclusions and nothing will come of it
Broad. as in broad brush? CONServatives seem to be humping all the wrong legs lately, they seem to support jackbooted thugs in Ferguson Missouri and St Louis County and giving a pass on racial profiling and putting ordinary citizens on the ground and pointing rifles at them, whilst condemning the actions of feds in Nevada trying to collect basic grazing fees, sheesh, those conservatives are sure weird people. No wonder the GOP is in deep **** with most diverse Americans. :roll: no sarcasm intended.
 
You mean our racist justice department?

It seems Holder only cares when it's some black individual getting killed or beat up or intimidated, however when it's a black person doing the same nonsense to a white that racist Holder looks the other way.

And they call his office the Department of Justice - what a crock when Holders department focuses on everything BUT justice - their whole scam is retribution NOT justice.

I suppose this is what you get when you elect a "social justice" activist aka racist and let him appoint other racists to head key departments within government.

Proof please, or is that something someone says when they're at a loss for reasoning?

They might control a few in Idaho.

Nah, the New York Times is more concerned with perpetuating the " Us vs Them 1 percent " narrative.

Building a consensus with envy at its core, and if they can convince enough people that " the rich " are literally responsible for their situation, for their poverty and their wants and their needs, then they can push them over to the dark side and get a few Democrats elected.

Its a generalized malcontent, with a Cartoon characterization of " the Rich " as the bad guy, not specific. Not the evil White Man ", the " Evil Rich ".

But they'll have to do a better job.

Because if you send Joe Biden out to make a speech perpetuating this " eat the rich ", " 1 percenter " drek wearing a Sebonack Shirt ( New York Country Club that asks for a Cool half a Million to become a member ) Someone is going to notice.

NOT anyone at the speech, oh No No. No those people are too far gone to notice the obvious.

Someone in the media with scruples.
