You went straight to bashing D's for no reason when his hypothetical and the context for it had nothing to do with parties, soooooooooooo

So you have to choose a party side to be critical? I didn't hear you b!thcing when I said Trump was acting like a child and lacked all leadership qualities. I didn't hear you b!tching when I said someone should just get Trump off of twitter because all he is doing is pouring gas on a fire.

Anytime a black or mixed person is depicted with a noose it is racial. The history of lynching perpetuated by white men and women made it that way.

Let me see now......There have been approximately 4,000 black people lynched in the last 200 years, and 7,000 blacks killed each year by each other. Also, black babies' mothers kill 125,000 of them every year in the womb. If they are lucky enough to make it out of the womb, their friends and neighbors are the next threats. Compared to those predators, they should look at the police and the lynch mobs as their friends.

Despite my cynical feelings towards uber or whomever, my takeaway is positive. I mean, I don't think any differently about Call of Duty just because they put BLM in their menu. But I do take this stuff as an indication that opinions are changing. If it's the safe statement for companies to make, then maybe we finally have enough support for law enforcement reform.

Just pointing out a double standard. When will Eddie Murphy, Dave Chapelle, and the Wayans brothers have to issue a public apology for their insensitive atrocities?

I do apologize. For being told how much of a snowflake we are, you guys sure like to cry about white people persecution as if it even remotely compares to what happened to Black people.

Somehow you are leaving out the whole picture regarding lynching. It is designed to deliver a message. A reprehensible message. A message about race and division.

Even if Chauvin had a prior beef with Floyd, and that can explain his motive, it still doesn't explain how we live in a society where 3 other cops will assist in this murder, despite the pleas of onlookers. There is still a social justice angle no matter how hard you try to weasel your way out of that uncomfortable conversation.

No, it isn't. You keep labeling everthing as social justice. Your standard of what is a social injustice is all over the place.

I'm not weaseling out of anything Or makimg excuses. Im stating known facts. I don't know why the other police didn't help, normally they don't tell a fellow officer to get off someone or go against their fellow officers.

But keep making ignorant statements, gotta keep the race narrative alive.

Now this is some pure, Grade A crap. The amount of straw men presented in this post is amazing.

Apparently we know each other? Maybe try an avatar or a different name and I'll remember you.

Look, I'm just making fun of you for your defensive response. It may not be representative of who you want to be, I'm just telling you how it sounds to others when you take the conversation from non-partisan to totally partisan with one comment. Maybe your record says otherwise, but again, I don't know you from a new member.

What? So social justice doesn't encompass the concept of police brutality? Is that your thesis here?

Disagree. It's not a universal truth. If a Nigerian leader was hung in effigy by a Nigerian citizen, is there a racist message. Of course, not.
I agree if you want to see a racist message, you definitely will.

Yeah, but its different. Blacks can kill blacks all day but cops can never kill black even if its justified.

Dude. In the context of this country’s history, it most certainly is racist. To try and tippy toe around that is disingenuous. It was absolutely meant to convey one message and one message only.

Boooo politicians........they serve no purpose, we need an accounting firm to run the budget, and nobody in D.C., we have our laws, on the books, and we can have the brightest minds in the military handle foreign policy.

Seriously, we don't need any of them any more. State and local remain the same, but, federal, no more. These pudwhackers aren't needed anymore.

The history of the whole world has had racist people, on both sides. It was england and America who ended it. Every country has racism issues in the past, it's because human are not perfect.
