IsaacHarris Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I do think people need to watch out with the whole generalisation of white people though. Im sure most white people you and I know are not the next hitler. ive seen sick things on both sides on social media. didnt we use to call those racists right wing/rednecks/? (because thats what they are?) why label those horrible people among the good white folk?I think it's counter productive to generalise any race or any religion. it's going backward. we need to get smarter. No what you said makes perfect sense. Well said. True! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, which is why blanket generalizations or positions on any issue don't do much to advance discussion or solutions. We need more moderate voices and fewer extremists on either side.

IsaacHarris Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I am telling you guys. I think this is the most worried I have been for this country in my lifetime. I agree with a lot of what you said, Skin, but why are you worried NOW? It's not as if these events are occurring at a more rapid pace than before. Sure, the media attention is becoming more frequent, but this has been going on in the USA for centuries. Nothing has changed, only the coverage. He does seem to have a certain slant in his postings. What slant? The truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to make up false evidence against him in questioning too. Police corruption is stronger than ever i see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to believe Skin is calling white people edible salty snacks go right ahead. It's amazing. A white man being called a racist because he calls out the racist white people and the huge amount of obvious white privilege in our society?

It's not as if these events are occurring at a more rapid pace than before. Sure, the media attention is becoming more frequent, but this has been going on in the USA for centuries. Nothing has changed, only the coverage. It's just more palpable to me though. I am sure without a doubt in many black communities this is nothing new and has been going on forever. I mean NWA didn't write "Fuck the Police" for nothing. But I grew up outside of that. I grew up not hearing white people talk in racist ways. By and large most of my life I did think at least in my area that we were past all of this, but then my bubble totally burst. And it literally started after the election of Obama. You see some people might wonder why I am so sour on so many white people. Well its because I am WHITE and I have a special free pass to know how a lot of white people really speak behind closed doors! And I can tell you, it disgusts the hell out of me. I have been disgusted and shocked by things coming out of so many peoples mouths over the last 8 years. Things I would have NEVER expected from certain people, and things I would have never expected from random people who think just because I am white it is totally cool and safe for them to whisper some kind of racist comment in my ear. This is what scares me. The fact that people that have been closeted with their hidden racism are now feeling more safe to come out and say it. This is without a doubt what has led to the rise of Trump. If anyone else thinks otherwise they are in total denial. If repeating myself on this topic bothers some people OH WELL! I think this is a serious as hell time and people need to be woken up and have it pounded into them. This is no joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a time when people are being killed, a guy with a gun may arouse suspicion. I don't care if he did have a gun. There was already video out there that proved he didn't shoot anything when the cops were getting shot at yet they still post his photo up on their twitter calling him a suspect. He should not have been looked at in the first place. And the fact that they tried to make up false witnesses and evidence just proves they were trying to purposely pin it on him. his picture is still there on their twitter and he is still getting death threats. Not a single statement from them saying hes been cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiejean Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I don't think the police were wrong to want to want to question him, he had a rifle and a camouflage t-shirt while people were being shot. Thankfully he turned himself in and was released... he's been all over mainstream news talking of what occurred, and social media has his back as there are thousands of posts about him and his innocence. Now one of the killers has been named hopefully his image will fade and he won't have to put up with finger pointing idiots. It kind of reminds me of that poor girl who was accused of being the suicide bomber in Paris, the photograph of her in the bath was front page news all over the world. Someone just sent her picture to online media outlets and she was completely innocent and horrified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Spent Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Dallas Gunman Micah X. Johnson Micah Xavier Johnson -- the 25-year-old law enforcement confirms as the Dallas shooter -- had involvement with a handful of pro-black and police watchdog groups. Johnson's social media accounts reveal he was a member of several Black Panther organizations, including The New Black Panther Party Houston Chapter. Johnson also subscribed to a Facebook group called "The Black Matrix," which aims to dismantle the system it believes "white societal elites" have put in place to "control the perceptions of its Black populations." Johnson -- who served in the U.S. Army -- had involvement with Facebook communities including "Filming Cops" and "Police The Police," which describes itself as a platform for documenting and archiving police misconduct, brutality and abuse of authority. Dallas PD Chief David Brown said before they took down Johnson he said he was angry about police brutality and wanted to kill white officers. http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/08/micah-johnson-dallas-shooting-gunman/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3680988/Pictured-Micah-Xavier-Johnson-25-year-old-shot-12-cops-Dallas-Black-Lives-Matter-protest-killing-five-saying-wanted-kill-white-people-especially-white-officers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
