Pathetic. What is comical is that YOU are the one placing bolding and emphasis and YOU are the one making it be about BLACK. Ironic, since your initial presentation here was 'look at me...Im such a reasonable person..." :lamo
YOU ignore the facts to try continue to support YOUR bias. You still are.
Where's the bias in anything I've posted in regards to replying to your commentary or anyone else's in this thread? I've not once said Black people shouldn't be held accountable for their irresponsible behavior or poor choices. I have, however, pointed out that sometimes cops and politicians AND White people, particularly of the past, have done things socially and/or politically that have oppressed Black people OR put themselves in a good light while taking advantage of other people's misery. But I've in no way shown bias one way or the other.
You talk about me ignoring facts, but you haven't provided any to refute. All you've done is make blanket statements inferring that Black people, Black political action groups and Black politicians only get on their soap box when Black lives are lost at the hands of White people. Well, I've got news for you, there have been plenty of candle light vigils hosted by Blacks where a Black person's life was lost by the hand of another Black person. There have been plenty of Black politicians and Black Activist who have spoken out against Black on Black crime. Problem is folks like you only come out of the wood works when you believe White authority or White superiority is being threatened. Just as you claim Blacks stop short of calling out Black on Black crime, you stop short of doing research to find out whether Black people are as one-sided in regards to Black lives as you claim.
You're very wrong in your assessment, sir.
Now, we can't help what the media picks up on but in this social media driven world we live in today, it's easy for anyone to post a YouTube video of a protest movement. But who amongst White society is willing to look at a speech given by a Black student, a Black parent, a Black teacher/college professor, a Black activist of relevance who speaks out against Black on Black crime? Are you?
Let me make myself perfectly clear: I CONDEMN ANY SENSELESS DEATH NO MATTER THE RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGION. But I don't go out of my way to put White people down as you (and others) have clearly done against Blacks. I may point out an individual act I believe was wrongly committed by an individual and such person may be White, but I'd do that if the person were Black, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Russian, Greek, French, etc., etc. It doesn't matter to me because wrong is wrong. PERIOD! And you, sir, are wrong! And just to show how wrong you are about my commentary, go back and read post #35 (page 4), as specific portion of which I've reposted below:
However, I DO believe that there are some instances where we, as Black people, bring trouble unto ourselves, i.e., driving without a valid driver's license, having outstanding warrants or just being uncooperative with police. None of those things places any person least of all a Black person in a good light with local police.
You need to stop focusing on me and check yourself!
(And BTW, that which I've placed in BOLD are YOUR WORDS, not mine.)
