Did I say every case? Or did I say the majority? It's obvious you are simply trying to annoy me by bringing up these stupid side arguments. I specifically said the majority to head off a post like this, but I guess there just is no getting away from your stupidity. Really, don't you have anything better to do?

If you agree that black people know that they are more likely to be abused and you think that the vast majority of abuse is because the victims did something dumb, you are arguing that black people are tremendously and unchangeably more stupid than white people.

I've never argued that or implied that.

Wil,

This is you arguing exactly that black people are more likely to be abused, and it's because they act worse to police than whites.

There are other factors involved. Cultural attitudes like distrust of the police, inner city high crime areas, etc. Without a doubt there are areas where the population acts worse to police than others. This isn't debatable.

So, do they act worse because they are too stupid to act better, they are defiantly accepting the abuse, or is it just an inherently worse culture?

We are talking about certain areas, not a race. High crime areas tend to be extremely hostile to police officers.

How does that address my point? Why wouldn't people in high crime areas prone to abuse figure out to be on better behavior so as to not be abused?

Not really sure I understand the point of this ongoing exercise were we see how many different arguments Wil can attempt to badly mask his racism. This thread is getting incredibly boring.

Because they don't care.

I dunno, I was amused by blaming the geography instead of the people therein.

And what people who high crime areas consist of? Are they blacks? Hispanics? Whites? A mixture? Or do you think it's only black people who live in high crime areas?

Listen MrWookie, if you think you're going to catch me in this "gotcha!" moment where I say something supremely racist, stop wasting your time. I'm not racist. I have a very large amount of black friends. I realize you have a serious issue with me scoffing at your opinions on things and you're always going to dislike me for having that "you don't know what you're talking about" attitude. That's ok, I understand I can come off as condescending. But try another line of attack, because this one isn't working.

You've already been caught in the gotcha though.

Well, I must be a racist with a lot of black friends. Like a living oxymoron. I'm surprised my black friends put up with it.

Do your black friends share the same opinion on this as you do?

It's actually pretty common for racists to like some black people in particular but hold vile racist stereotypes about the teeming masses of blacks they don't know. Most racists don't hate the sight of every black person! Augusta National used to have 100% black caddies. Slave owners let black people into their houses and watch their kids and ****.

And yes, "high crime" areas are overwhelmingly black or Latino. Perhaps you should look into the history of redlining to see how that happened.

This could have been posted but I thnk it's on topic.

I know a guy that owns a bar who assures me he's not racist but he charges more than any other bar around and filters hip hop and rap off the touchtunes because it keeps 'those people' away. He even uses the line 'I don't hate black people, I hate ******s' and has said he gets along with some black people but he's had run ins over the years where a black person wronged him and they somehow represent the majority. Like, he earnestly doesn't think he's racist and is flabbergasted when I tell him the stuff he says/does is very much racist.

Wil I know I've brought this up before and you dodged it, but can you square this view with your view that you can't criticize Pam Geller for exercising her 1st Amendment rights in Texas? Both knew the likely outcomes, both of the likely outcomes were unjust, and both involve the injured party exercising their constitutional rights.

What's different?

Your friend probably hates the "get rich or die trying meme" prevalent in the hip hops, not necessarily black people. It could be a white guy "poppin bottles" at his bar and he would hate him too, so it's not a race thing.

There really needs to be some kind of "Uber" like app/social networking platform that will match up racists with black people for short friendship contracts. Imagine what the surge pricing would be during events like Ferguson.

Nah, he's friends with all the white guys with neck tattoos that get out of control when drunk and doesn't mind them coming through.

But really, lol at that being your take away there.

Lol at me for potentially disagreeing with your interpretation of the situation? Jeez, my bad.

Exactly.
