Aliensanctuary Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'd like to see the Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and all of the people walking around raising their hands or shouting "I can't breathe!" be issued police uniforms and police cruisers so that they can find criminals and arrest lawbreakers, making the cities safer for everyone. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and company may need to paint their police cars purple and install minibars inside so they can entertain some of their like-minded racist pimp friends while they're patrolling the streets and fighting crime.

JoeMo Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm an old (mostly) white guy; but I have many friends of color. They seem to be split about this whole situation; and not necessarily along political leanings. Some whom I consider to be conservative integrated and highly successful sympathize with the protesters; because - in spite of their success - they feel like they are sometimes treated as second-class citizens. That could possibly be due to them being my age and experiencing the civil rights movement of the 1960s and '70s. Others whom I consider to be more on the wild side are less concerned; saying people are people no matter what color they are; and if you get caught doing wrong things, there are consequences. I've had plenty of run-ins with the law in my 60+ years (not all of them traffic-related); and I have usually been treated civilly as long as I am cooperating. There have been a few exceptions where I have imprudently matched an angry officer's attitude and tone of voice; and spent some time cuffed in the back of a police car (never jail time though). I was never physically abused beyond being forced into the back of a police car. I have no idea what would have happened to me if I was African-American showing an "attitude". It's weird; because of my Italian last name and less than porcelain skin, I had girls break up with me in the 1970's because their parents didn't approve of them being in a biracial relationship.

Aliensanctuary Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think that all of those who have marched around with their hands up or yelled that they can't breathe have been pimped out by racists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, among others. These recent issues of police-caused deaths are a matter of law breakers vs. law enforcement, not blacks vs. whites. Recall, a black female supervisor was present when officers attempted to arrest Mr. Garner. Mr. Garner suffered from asthma, according to news reports, which already compromised his breathing. No one being choked could keep saying that they couldn't breathe. Try talking the next time you are choking on something you have eaten or drunk. If your windpipe is blocked, you won't be saying much of anything. Also in recent news reports was an article about a black policeman stopping a white motorist who died on the spot from an asthma attack. I think that a certain segment of the black population has created suspicion and distrust by their own law-breaking behaviors, behaviors that result in harm to the property and lives of others, and by their disrespect for law officers whose responsibility it is to protect decent, law-abiding citizens. Now if these law-breakers stopped breaking laws, there would be no reason for law enforcement officers to arrest them, or even to stop to question them. These marchers and hand-raisers and chanters and traffic-blockers have all been pimped-out by racist leaders who make skin color an issue, not the crimes that the perpetrators were committing, like robbing a convenience store, attacking a police officer, pulling a gun on an officer, beating up a security guard, etc. It's not difficult for those who care nothing for others to stoop to indiscriminately looting and burning property while viewing themselves as the real victims, victims who have ultimately victimized themselves by their own anti-social, parasitic behaviors.

Kountzer Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm the only african american that comes to this board. i can't blame all the rest for avoiding this place. Why come here? To hear anonymous bigots spew their half baked understandings of prophecy one minute, and their racist bile the next? They might as well go someplace else. Any other place can't be any worse. Since I am the only one here allow me to re state my stance: me and the police get along. I realize all too well that, like everything else the police force is a microcosm of society at large, some are good, others aren't. Some care, others don't. It is just like the convenience store robbers. Some are black, some are not. If they do wrong they most certainly will pay. America is good at that. The police officers that do wrong, who ever they are will pay also. No need to march. It will all come out of the wash. The robbers will pay, the traffickers in beer, and wine and tobacco will pay. So what's all the fuss about? i don't watch fox news or anything else. The so called race pimps don't influence me one way or another. If i didn't come here I would not know what they are up to. Last I checked they still have the right to protest. 70% of the protesters here are white, whatever that means. There are black police officers and state troopers, also hispanics as well. I work with them everyday. phkrause 1 Quote I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

LifeHiscost Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 You can be sure if the perpetrators of the knock out game are caught, as opposed to being shot on sight, they will be sent to trial by the grand jury. Once they are sent to trial they will most assuredly convicted. They definitely won't get away with it. No worries though. There's a more sure trial on going. Nobody on this earth, white, white cop, black cop whoever really gets away with anything. A better judicial system. An account of every word, every thought. All the skeletons will come out of the closet. Seventy years, or however long somebody lives, of so called moral and social superiority will seem like not even a drop in a bucket compared to eternity. 13But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,…2 Tim 3 God is Love!

LifeHiscost Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 When u talk about riots and lies in ferguson you should be used to it. It is in your history and DNA. I have a personal friend living in Kenya, invited him home to eat dinner with my wife and self when he was in America, getting agricultural information to take back to his country. He's black and my wife and myself are both white. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. After returning to his home country and some time passed, terrorists attacked a shopping mall near where he lived, killing or wounding some 30 people. When taking into consideration your comment above it seems you left out something, like the rest of the whole human race. 9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 10“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”...Jer 17 1Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.…Romans 2 God is Love!

Aliensanctuary Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Civil Rights 2.0: This topic seems to address the civil rights of blacks. It would seem that as Americans we all currently have the same set of civil rights. What more rights do some Blacks and their supporters want? Are they forced to ride in the back seats of busses and planes or go to the ends of lines or not allowed to enter whites-only restaurants? Perhaps I am missing something. Do the protesters want the right to attack law officers, resist arrest, point guns at them, kill them, or loot and burn businesses? Why are all those people marching and blocking highways? Are their pimps trying to incite a race war? Why come here? To hear anonymous bigots spew their half baked understandings of prophecy one minute, and their racist bile the next? I'm sorry that you feel that way. I respect your opinions and value your point of view. I hope that you can make a difference in young lives, to turn them towards the practice of good, not evil. That is something that the entire world needs, leaders who can bring out the best in people, not the worst. BTW. I have a supervisor whom I respect and like whose skin is quite dark, in fact, black. She originally came from Belize. It would be a mistake to see me as a racist.

CoAspen Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Racism is often the hardest thing to understand by certain religious groups. When those groups have their own code words, phrases and spiritual understandings they believe others do not have, sitting them selves as being apart, superior in understanding, they exhibit the same qualities of racism.

Kountzer Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2014/05/nyc-robbers-hollywood-style-masks.php You have to ask other blacks what civil rights they are looking for. We are not monolithic in thought. I can't answer for them. I haven't participated in protests. It is a waste of time, as I've stated over and over. You're not going to get answers here. I doubt if you're going to get answers in your lifetime. This whole world is a complicated mess. Speaking of civil rights, or the bill of rights, religious hatred and bigotry is stronger than racial hatred. To the tune of hundreds of millions tortured and killed for believing a certain way. One group's rights are abrogated one day, the next day it will be your group.

Moderators lazarus Posted December 29, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2014 One of the opinions seems to be is that if we are not in the corner with the rioters and looters and those wanting to injure/kill police officers, then we are racists.
