Article was weak sauce. Hopefully this is a thread dedicated to actual readers, and not whiny children on their androids who just wanna get to the gifs.
So we should stop talking to the majority in this country (over 60%) about issues minorities face, because of anonymous postings on the internet that can literally come from anywhere, and from anybody? Cowardice once again from entitled dummies.
If only when i was growing up being called a nigger, terrified of the local kkk in a fucking blue as all hell liberal state rearing their ugly heads. Terrified because tv shows and black movies, were all basically narrating this problem of racism, and the violence it entails in this country. If only back then i could just write an article, and dial out from reality because my feelings.
She made a good point about the hypocrisy in the fact that a person may take offense to black lives matter, but wont say shit about blue lives matter. Then it becomes this back and forth of semantics.
Much of this shit is just good ole confirmation bias at work too.
To answer some of her individual quotes to, as they were truly, remarkably silly.
There is nothing wrong with someone asking this, as we would ask the same shit if the tables were turned. No one should just be accepting this poor journalism we get these days from morons with high priced macbooks as some type of end all be all of a case. Internet detectives are good at times, worse most of the time. If youre offended by someone merely wanting more information, you have a fundamental problem with yourself already.
This is partially true, but annoying when worded poorly, and without sympathy for what just transpired. Would michael brown be alive today if he simply waved his hand as a sorry/thank you when jay walking and asked to get out of the street. Most likely. I mean he wouldve still been arrested for strong armed robbery eventually, but yes, its likely if he complied totally from the very first second, hed just be on probation right now, trying to get his life together. If walter scott wouldnt have ran, would he be alive right now, likely yes. Does it justify the shooting? NOPE.
The funny thing is, black families tell their kids, or use to tell them how to deal with cops all the time. It was basically comply, because they will shoot you. But we dont call ourselves racist for this teaching. We dont get mad at each other for this train of thought. We've literally written it into comedy in our movies and tv shows.
They do, and? If she thinks she can handle repeat felons high on meth that will do anything to not get arressted, and end up having to chase and tackle these assholes to the ground, then hopefully restrain them and handcuff them without issue. Feel free. What world does she live in that she thinks the jobs easy. I just saw a video of some latino dude shooting a cop in the leg earlier, and the cop was completely nice to the guy the whole time.
They do. How is this offensive to bring up? LOL
This isnt the normal sentiment in the mainstream. Taking online comments from anonymous people all over the world as gospel is dangerous to the well being of your psyche.
Thats an annoying one, but they say this because the mainstream media has set us up for crying wolf sometimes before all the information is out, and then we end up looking like race baiters to people already looking to confirm their bias. Even more problematic, is we're happy to take the bait every time. Every time we're happy to jump behind a camera and chat chat chatter about some shit we barely have any facts about.
Sometimes it is about race, and if they cant see that, then we need to do a better job at articulating why said incident is about race. Clearly theyre not listening, or more than likely from my observations, we're doing a piss poor job at communicating the issues we face in this country.
Sensible question when the context is appropriate, and unfortunately more often than not the contest is appropriate, because people get on social media, or on cable news, and cant stay focused on the topic at hand. They end up talking about white people, and blaming white people for shit. Then here comes the black on black crime shit.
Outside of that, its an idiotic deflection, and misunderstanding of the slogan black lives matter that stemmed out of the trayvon case, and subsequent police shootings that followed.
Eh, whatever. Dont feel like tackling this one.

“What about black on black crime?”
