Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!

Re: Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!

Old news by now I suppose....

A federal autopsy in the Ferguson police shooting reached similar conclusions to those performed by local officials and a private examiner hired by 18-year-old Michael Brown’s family, documents show.

The Armed Forces Medical Examiner System’s autopsy on Brown, conducted at the request of the Department of Justice, was among grand jury documents that St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch released Monday with little explanation.

"Sorry I'm being so negative. I'm a bummer. I don't know--I shouldn't be. I'm a very, you know, lucky guy. I've got a lot going for me: I'm healthy, I'm relatively young, I'm white...which, thank God for that s***, boy. That is a huge leg up. Are you kidding me? Oh, God, I love being white. I really do. Seriously, if you're not white, you're missing out. Because this s*** is thoroughly good. Let me be clear, by the way. I'm not saying that white people are better. I'm saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue? If it was an option, I would re-up every year."

"Now, if you're white and you don't admit that it's great, you're an a******. It is great. And I'm a man. How many advantages could one person have? I'm a white man. You can't even hurt my feelings! What can you really call a white man that really digs deep?

"Hey, cracker."

"Uh. Ruined my day. Boy shouldn't have called me a cracker. Bringing me back to owning land and people, what a drag."

Because the American Thinker is the right wing equivalent of Mother Jones? While even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile, I wouldn't count on any sort of objectivity in its reporting or spin.

Especially when the actual medical examiner already ruled it a homicide, and this guy clearly doesn't understand that a victim's weaknesses don't excuse the conduct of the other person. If I punch someone in a manner that would only bruise a normal person but causes a hemophiliac to die, I'm still going to jail for a long time.

1. Why attack the source (American Thinker)? If it's a fact it's fact in AT or Mother Jones.

2. Was the on scene supervisor a black female police sergeant?
3. Was she looked at by the grand jury as well, or just the white male?

4. "Homocide" is a death of a human caused by another human. Murder involves intent and malice.
5. In your "punch a hemophiliac" scenario, did you know they were a hemophiliac and punch them anyway (intent and malice)?
5a. Why are you punching someone? Self-defense I hope, otherwise, you're in trouble no matter where the punch lands.

This point (I assume the point is to contend that all whitish people, whether their ancestors immigrated before the Civil War or after 1960, ought to be prostrate with guilt over being whitish) gives me the opening to ask you guys, what form do you think reparations should take? Should all whitish people, regardless of ancestry, be required to give their stuff to the darkish people? Does it matter if you are white and your own ancestors were slaves? Or is the skin color the only thing that matters to you?

That's not the point at all.

False equivalencies?


The effects of black towards white racism are not equal to the effects of centuries of the opposite?

How clever and how completely unrelated to any posts in this thread.

Still not the point. Keep trying. This may help.

Kind of like a snobby east coast liberal explaining to other white people how their actual experiences should have no bearing on how they see the world?

Who isn't explaining to you what's good for you, or what counts as legitimate or illegitimate treatment of you.

Who's the real snob? But then again it's right there in your profile, so I'll give you credit for honesty.

BS. This entire thread is one side talking about nuances within the subject and the other side painting with the broad brush of RACISM anytime we aren't apologizing for being white.

Thank you for demonstrating precisely. Nobody could have taken you down harder.

But allowances should be made. It must be hard when you tap your crystal but the conversation doesn't stop for all to listen to your assessment. Feel free to go back to your 70s world where everybody waits with 'bated breath for whitey's verdict upon The Racial Problem. :rolleyes:

White-'splaining
The paternalistic lecture given by Whites toward a person of color defining what should and shouldn't be considered racist, while obliviously exhibiting their own racism.
you're way off in defining our aims. As far as I know, TheDarkness hasn't even posted in this thread. We're just paternalistically lecturing each other here. ;)

I haven't spoken about the "racial problem."
 
Re: Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!

I wonder if a woman posted here and talked about their fear of walking home alone when it's dark, would Gurth and some of the others claim she obviously had to be doing something wrong because it doesn't align with their experiences as a male...?
