Don't forget that.
Doesn't work for white folks.
I have a little insight into the racism issue.
I was a white cop in a mostly black city.
Not good.
13 serious injuries, back broken 4 times, 3 concussions and more.
Disabled after 22 + years on the job.
Nine months in rehab learning to walk again.

Yes I get that quite well.

Focusing too much on this or any one racial crime seems harmful. There is no epidemic of this type of thing going on. The over focusing will only cause more racial dislike and polarization of feelings in the end. Why?

Good advice for the media, the SJW's, and the BLM's. Not like such a perspective would be given any consideration, though.

American society has crated generations of "gimme"
people. Perhaps an entire social structure based on gimme mo'.
Whitie owes me mo' and I want's mo'!
My great, great grandpappy might, coulda been a slave to whites
pickin' cotton and bein' whupped.
I want's mo'.
I want a new house fo free an' a caw, an a playground fo'
my kids so dope dealers can hang out with impunity.


And so society gave 'em mo' and it's become a multi-generational way
of life.
And destroyed the need or desire to work to gain.

Racism, regardless who does it, is simply wrong in my book. I've seen it personally on both sides, so I also can speak from experience.

BTW, post #7 is a racist statement if one really thinks about how it's stated and what its implications are. The concept of "gimme" is not just found in the black community.

What he said was not racist. Racism is hating someone else for their race, or the belief that their race is inferior to your own for reasons X. At no point did he say he hated them or felt superior to them.

There is a big difference between racism and realism. At the same time, we live in a culture that is all about instant gratification. The younger generations want stuff NOW and don't want to work hard to earn it later.

What planet are you living on?
How long have you lived IN a black community?
The following percentages are recipients of welfare based on race.

• White – 38.8%
• Black – 39.8%
• Hispanic – 15.7%
• Asian – 2.4%
• Other – 3.3%

12.9 percent, Black or African in the U.S. according to a 2000 census.
So 12.9% of the U.S. population is granted 39.8% of the welfare benefits.
Hummmmm??????????????????????
Wonder if a 70 year old disabled cop on a miserable fixed income can
get food stamps?
I'd take 'em if I could get 'em.
Oh! Just remember that I'm a WHITE disabled cop so I'm entitled to
NOTHING.
Wonder if I prove my genetic connection to the Blackfoot nation
and perhaps get me a new tee pee and some buffalo meat for dinner?
Noooooooooooooooo, I'm just way too white I guess.

Is there confirmation that this is real?
There have been a few faked incidents recently & over the years.

You can see the title of this post is fake.

In regards to MSM, it's only racism if it's empowered whites vs black like in the title. This just as well could've been titled Donald Trump tortures a black child. They won't headline black-on-black or black-on-white incidents as racism. Their audience is the liberals.

Those who are inclined to be more racist always have ways to justify their racism, and you have supplied us with enough evidence above that this is where you are coming from. Stereotyping any group, whether it be black, white, or whatever, is pathetic and immoral in my book, but also another book as well-- maybe you should learn "more about jehovah".

BTW, three of my grandparents were Me'tis. Do you know what that is, Mr. Blackfoot?

I agree - now, the question is, will prominent leaders among the black community speak out against this incident?
What is there to 'speak out' about over an evil stupid incident? If there is a policy or an epidemic of such things then there is an issue to 'speak out' about. You 'speak out' on issues not crazy incidents.

Hey that Trump thing is real.
I read it in Midnight magazine while in line at the grocery store.
It don't get no better than Midnight pulp rag.
" I was captured and made an alien sex salve."

Indeed.

I caught the OP on the news last night, and I told myself then what I would most likely find and read on a thread like this one whereas some here would be quick to politicize this terrible incident. No surprise at all.

Huh, huh, I do.
Please I don't identify with Mr. Blackfoot.
That's a bit impolite. Like addressing someone as Mr. African-American,
or Mr. Sicilian, Miss. Mexican, Mr. Pollock, etc.
Not nice at all.
Please take your bigotry against Native Americans elsewhere.

As a well grounded Canadian, I have to agree. One simply cannot demonize blacks for the actions of these freakazoids. I think the vast majority of blacks would condemn their actions - but that could just be my angry white male privilege talkin'...

LOL! Obviously you must have no clue what a Me'tis is. I'll betcha some of our Canadian friends can educate you.

BTW, with your racist rant (#7) and your follow-up that confirmed it (#11), you should be the last one to accuse anyone of having bigotry.
