When we see BLACK LIVES MATTER protesting at

[Dan]

Ask the cops who treat whites and blacks differently

I don't know of any cops who treat criminals differently based on their skin color.  What are you talking about?

or the public who treat them differently.

That's true.  The "Black Lives Matter" agenda does look at skin color.

[darkflower]

An agenda perhaps for blacks to be respected same as whites at least by cops. Rather than, you know, shot dead or beaten to death or tossed in a van and crippled/killed by reckless driving.

Do as they please. For instance playing on a playground without a cop speeding by and shooting a CHILD dead. Or being able to pull over in a rainstorm without being taken in on a mistaken identity and beaten bloody for asking for a cot and then being charged with bleeding on the cops who did the beating. Or tossed in the back of a van and murdered (with some saying he probably murdered himself). Or any of the other cases where they have the right to expect and demand far better than being treated as NOTHING. GOD DAMN IT.

"Innocent?  Name one who didn't commit a crime."

You have no place in this thread if you are that ignorant. Use google.

I did.  That's how I learned Michael Brown robbed a convenience store.  That's how I learned Freddie Gray was carrying an illegal knife.  That's how I learned Eric Garner was selling cigarettes illegally.  So where are these "innocent" people you're talking about?

That is the problem, the murderers aren't convicted and are very rarely charged.

Did you consider that maybe they didn't commit murder after all, and that's why they weren't charged/convicted?

Ask the cops who treat whites and blacks differently

If they do it is highly illegal and can result in jail time for the cop..WTF are you talking about??  How about some names of active officers that do as you claim?? If a black is treated differently it is because he is more violent.

Who says they're not?

beaten bloody for asking for a cot

I can't imagine being so messed up as to believe that.  Unless you are leaving out some important details.

Or tossed in the back of a van and murdered

Who was murdered in the back of a van?  Name the person convicted of that.

[darkflower]

"Who says they're not?"

BLM, for starters, kinda their EXACT reason for being created.


"I can't imagine being so messed up as to believe that."

Then you are an unimaginative fool.

[darkflower]

"That's how I learned Freddie Gray was carrying an illegal knife.  That's how I learned Eric Garner was selling cigarettes illegally.  So where are these "innocent" people you're talking about?"

You just named 2 of them, executed for what? A knife and some cigarettes? And you say oh well?

And there are plenty others who did nothing but play on a playground or try to buy a bb gun or simply walk in public with earbuds going.

How the hell are any of you this obtuse if you aren't racist?

[Dan]

"Who says they're not?"

BLM, for starters

Obviously.  But what credibility do they have?  What empirical data do they have to support their assertion?

"I can't imagine being so messed up as to believe that."

Then you are an unimaginative fool.

I guess so.  I can't imagine a person would beat someone up just because he asked politely for a cot.  Unless you are leaving out some important details, that is.  What aren't you telling us, Dark?  What was the real reason he was beat up?

[Dan]

You just named 2 of them

I counted three.

executed for what?

Who says they were "executed?"  Where is your evidence?

And there are plenty others who did nothing but play on a playground or try to buy a bb gun or simply walk in public with earbuds going.

Name them and give comprehensive details.

How the hell are any of you this obtuse if you aren't racist?

If I was racist, I would assume it was true.  But since I assume skin color has nothing to do with how people are treated, that supports me NOT being a racist.

Why do you think people who believe skin color is irrelevant are "racist?"

If you haven't seen Lewis's video, it is a must watch for anyone who truly cares about black lives (Goggans doesn't seem to qualify):
