I watched rowe being interviewed on tv a couple of weeks ago. the guy is a thinker. very sharp.
Meanwhile Amazon is closing down stores right and left. No more black friday for you Toys r Us. That Elmo doll is here in 2days.
Cop shootings are just the tip of the iceberg.
It is more about the injustices in the judicial system. The fact that blacks receive harsher sentences than whites for the same crimes. Things like penalties for possession of a small amount of crack, cheap and common to black neighborhoods are much more severe than those for larger, much more expensive amount of cocaine, common to white neighborhoods. Even though they are different forms of the same drug.
The fact that cops are much more likely to pull their service weapon on blacks vs whites.
They say two days just in case something gets screwed up. Almost always one day for me. Probably depends on your location as well.Amazon is amazing. i placed two separate orders last week, amazon prime, free two day delivery.
I received each order less than 24 hrs later.
Hopefully that will change soon.So McCain is off limits because he’s dying?
Acknowledging that white people can come into contact with bad cops is not diminishing the fact that there is a problem that black people face when it comes to dealing with law enforcement. Men can get breast cancer but the majority of the victims are women.
I've been kneeling since 2016 because, as an African-American male, I get scared every time a cop even looks at me.
Kaepernick's point is that people of color face police brutality at a higher rate, and that the system does nothing to punish those officers who use unnecessary force and murder individuals that didn't deserve to die.
You were saying that those student-athletes shouldn't protest because they would risks having millions of dollars. I was point out that the current pro players in the NBA and NFL have spoken out and have engaged in forms of protest, risking their millions as well. But they did it, and their leagues are supporting them. So, I'm sure the teams that these student-athletes will be playing for in the future wouldn't have an issue with them using their constitutional rights as well (which means that the risks are more minimal than you think)
Perhaps they already have been. Have you been in the locker room to see?I would LOVE for our basketball team to take knee. Many in the fanbase act like these kids can't have opinions, like they can't have voices. They're old enough to vote, and have a life outside of Rupp Arena. Having an opinion and being able to protest is not only protected at this university, but encouraged by President Capilouto.
If you're talking cops by "law enforcement", the fact is whites have violent encounters with them at a higher rate per encounter than blacks.Acknowledging that white people can come into contact with bad cops is not diminishing the fact that there is a problem that black people face when it comes to dealing with law enforcement..
Then: The face that launched a thousand ships.Let's just be real... Kapernick's protest all started so he could plow a Muslim woman originally from Egypt. Dude was a Christian who had 0 problems with the USA until he met her. I imagine it went something like this:
"Wow you're hot."
"You want this? You gotta be woke first."
"Okay. Woke me please."
And here we are today.

Yes, blacks have a lot higher encounter rate. But why is that? Because cops target blacks? Or perhaps because cops patrol high crime areas at a higher rate & those areas happen to be disproportionately high black? The latter can be fixed by cops abandoning high crime areas & leaving the residents to fend for themselves.
So far this year there have been 164 blacks fatally shot by police.
So far this year there have been 326 whites fatally shot by police.
32 of the 490 killed were unarmed, per the washington post.
This is the pendulum effect of political idiocy. Poor leadership begets extreme overreaction on the other side.
Oh I like that idea. We can take the funding from the wall that will never be built in mexico and build little miniature walls around Baltimore, seattle , san fran etc. Let drug dealers earn tax credits by using their tunnel building talents to build tunnels from Juarez directly to let's say Chicago. I'd definitely be in support of a rail system from notorious smuggling routes to sanctuary cities. Just make sure anyone who gets out of city limits is shot on sight.Let's experiment, shall we? Just like when our military withdraws from a foreign country, our police withdraw from, say, 10 communities where protesting police actions has been the most agressive. We turn those areas over to the communities themselves, provide equivalent financial funding for policing those communities, provide training and turn over the equipment and resources to the communities.
You want control? You got it. Police are no longer "they" it's "you." Let's see what happens.
How about bad shit happens because the crap holes are filled with constant crime. Neighborboods filled with murders all the time. Black men commit an absurd amount of crime. An absurd amount.
You think cops don't know that and don't know to be on edge? You see a lot of black men going to work having issues with police? No. You see moronic career criminals resisting arrest and thinking they will get a good outcome.
Think about it. Freddie Gray, career crack dealer and arrested a million times. Michael Brown just committed strong-arm robbery and evidence showed he attacked Wilson. Eric Garner, career criminal ignoring his warnings and selling illegal cigs and resisting, Philando Castile-a guy ignoring the request (same guy who has videos of himself and that scumbag woman just driving around and smoking weed in a car with a toddler), etc.
How many of these instances are cops just driving around and just going up to people who haven't done anything? How hard is it to keep your hands on the wheel and do as you're told? Stop committing crime, stop running and then also trying to fight a cop and then playing victim when the situation goes south resulting in the black community destroying the city and looting.
It's amazing that the issue is "we need to fix cops" instead of, "Hey, we need to fix the black community." It's always someone else's fault when it comes to blacks committing crime or doing something. Never fails. No personal responsibility ever.
Young black men kill each other at such an alarming rate especially considering their population size. The worst cities in our nation for murder all have the same thing in common- a huge black population or a majority black population. It's a cultural problem of violence and no respect.
So what this boils down to is a large portion of the black community who hate whites, hates cops, have no appreciation for this country and want to lecture everyone else without fixing their own backyard that continues to be a constant self destructive path of broken homes, idolizing street culture and not caring for education and complete scorn for blacks who buck the trend and don't blame the world for their problems, take care of their children, educate themselves and work hard. Those good people get labeled as "Uncle Toms" or "House _" simply because they don't stay a delusional and angry person that's mad at the world.
Fvck James Woods. The guy tries to screw Peter Griffin over at every turn.
Church shooting was just random roid rage. Equal opportunity killer that just hit 8/8 white in a diverse congregation.
The lies the media tells. If this were reversed. Tired of it.
Damn, the odds of that are slim... but if that's what they say happened, I guess that's what happened.
Not true at all. Its your side who acts like people who disagree with the kneeling can't have an opinion.I would LOVE for our basketball team to take knee. Many in the fanbase act like these kids can't have opinions, like they can't have voices. They're old enough to vote, and have a life outside of Rupp Arena.

And she's two steps up above Hillary. At least.This is the pendulum effect of political idiocy. Poor leadership begets extreme overreaction on the other side.
MLK was a philosopher. MX was a phulofshitter.Kell quoting Malcolm X is quite appropriate. MLK was a beacon of strongly appealing to humanity and positive and was effective. Malcolm X championed anger and "any means necessary" and was not.
