lol. The racism of the drug war is not a bug. It's a feature.

I'd rather just kill all potheads, starting with the white ones.

Over 400k has been raised for Wilson and he hasn't even been charged yet. Between that and the coordinated social media wipe, I would say lessons from the Zim case are being applied: don't let any info out and anticipate that the shooter who didn't extend any help to his unarmed, shot-up teen victim will be forced to at least wait a few minutes while the jury raps up their solitaire.

Wilson supporter. If you look at the comments under most of the people who have sent funds his way, it's the worst kind of racist hate speech.

Well, police blocked off many people from receiving treatment when they were tear gassed during the protests. I'd love to know when/if an ambulance was called for Brown. He was sitting in the street for what, 5 hours? Or was it just a "kids been shot in the head, let's deal with it in 6 hours?"

Wilson supporter AINEC. I can imagine a universe in which Wilson got scared, fired his gun, and is an otherwise nice person who reacted in a fit of absorbed racism from a lifetime of living in the United States. I cannot imagine too many people who would willingly donate to as-yet-unnecessary defense fund for any reason other than "that punk/[other less nice word] had it coming."
Nope. And it's almost always used to apply to people like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. You know, the Al Sharpton who is so interested in stirring up black resentment against white people that he spent Michael Brown's funeral morally hectoring black people. I'm not saying Al Sharpton is a great example of African-American leadership. Frankly I think he is out of touch, and he's become an easy symbol for white people to point to as a huckster and a "race hustler" because he's had a history of sticking his foot in his mouth. But literally no amount of criticism of the black community will absolve him in the minds of people who use the phrase "race hustler." Calling it a "hustle" by definition suggests that there is no legitimate grievance in Ferguson, or maybe in the United States as a whole.

Intellectual: a person with no capacity for self reflection.

Something I learned itt.

Bet you didn't know that discussing issues from both sides , without emotion, involves deleting posts from one side that give you a sad either.

Bruce,

You're super confused by the whole Donald Sterling thing, right?

No clue why anyone would read such a wall of text.

In other news, legit shocked our non-racist friends in this thread haven't brought up Dillon Taylor (unless I missed it?). All my conservatard friends on FB have been going ape**** about the supposed double standard. I barely looked at the story because it's basically Washington Times, etc. talking about it, but apparently a black cop shot an unarmed white kid AND THERE NEEDS TO BE OUTRAGE.

I prefer:

'Race hustler' is a type of accusation used to target any civil rights leadership. Calling it a hustle is indeed a rhetoric device used to breed mistrust of the leadership within a minority community and reinforce pejorative stereotypes amongst low thinkers in the supremacists community.

It is similar to the 'gay agenda' and the 'zionist plot' in the sense it suggests something insidious is going on by untrustworthy people with suspect motives. All of these phrases lack real content to give depth to the accusation, unless poor use of rational deduction faculties count as content.

Oh man just read some of the quotes re: Bruce. Pretty sure calling the dude a racist isn't an insult or anything because it is straight up the absolute truth. Wow.

Which is it? Do we need to allow open discussion or do we need to remove every post where somebody is called a racist?

Great point. I never even thought of that. Ugh.

The gays have an agenda, tho.

I have to go to a bunch of AAs because of my DUI. Apparently one of the 12 "promises" of completing the program is that "I will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle me."

I imagine the 12-step program for racists has a similar promise.

A+ trolling with the breaking up hetero marraiges and watching Maddow

It is different from both the "gay agenda" and "zionist plot" in the sense we can easily see who said race hustler is (or who they are) and demonstrate why their behaviors match the description.
It is directed at a person and his behaviors. It is not just a general description of a movement. It is, instead, much more similar to seeing someone is an ordinary street hustler, except these guys aren't using matchboxes to do their hustling.


Anyway, the whole shooting and the media treatment of it, sadly, went as expected. Media pumped and distorted the story for clicks, ratings, angles, reactions and emotions.
They got it, and they got their riots along the way.

Second part of the situation are gullibility and propensity towards outbursts in some populations, which are doing said riots.

Same story once again.

Maddow! It's much worse than I thought.

The media may play on emotion but it doesn't create it in the first place. You don't get riots like that without a lot of pent up anger based on nothing short of direct personal experience.

It only works on gullible populations with a propensity toward outbursts.

THEM ******S SURE ARE STUPID AIN'T THEY?

That btw- is a thing that would look racist if taken out of context that clearly isn't with context. Doesn't look much like Bruce's posts.

Sorry Dids: In the interest of having an open and honest discussion, we're going to have to delete those last few posts of yours. You can apologize when you come back from your vacation.

and also one of the best posters. Unfortunately the indignant outrage of the unthinking masses doesn't gel well with the brightest and the best.

That would be great if they wanted to learn something but its pretty clear most of those you are addressing have no interest in anything but nasty small minded jeering and cheering with their intellectual equals.


I don't want to include you in the above but didn't you think the response about police having to wear ridiculous mustaches was in context?
