True. But we "thinking types" should probably read that stuff in detail.

Just FYI that link posted shows everything but when i click to read one of the reports my anti virus kicks in and tells me one or all reports could contain harmful material/virus.

So you are saying that your anti virus is racist?

We clearly need to ban anti virus.  Also ban squirrels I think they are racist too.  Oh and probably chocolate milk, ban that too.  I love choc milk.

Then you are not racist, only people who like white milk are, so let's ban it.

I like the video of all those nice boys helping get all of the liquor out of the liquor store before it burned down they were so helpful.

And then they went the extra mile and secured it in a safe place for them.

The media really is un F'in believable! every news outlet i see online is just twisting this into a "poor black boy" bullshit story...What about the officer that was just doing his job and trying to make it home to HIS family, and why does every news outlet have to write in that the officer was white and brown was black (oh yea because if this was the other way around there would be no story). And now we got dumb ass Eric Holder talking about investigating this further, give me a break!

 

end rant.

Glad to see there were protesters in Cleveland blocking the highway.

The signs were killing me. The "our lives matter" was the best. These people are clueless.

Bunch of fools are running around downtown Cinti waving signs.  At one point, a fair number wandered out onto both the north- and southbound lanes of I-75 near the District 1 police HQs and tried to shut down the interstate.  Now mind you, this was during the end of the rush hour surge about 6:30-7ish in the mostly pitch black darkness.  Haven't heard if there were any casualties, but you gotta be pretty stupid to put on dark clothes and a weird mask and rush out into 4 lanes of traffic, most of which is commercial truck traffic.  I'm guessing a phalanx of 18-wheelers 4 wide at about 45-50 MPH would do a way better job of clearing the freeway obstruction than a whole squad of police….

And people say natural selection is non-existent in our modern society.

Relevant to this thread:

First of all, #HoodsOff

Second, the above chart appears to blame ethnicity for issues that may be more closely related to poverty than ethnicity.

In conclusion, #HoodsOff

I don't remember the riots after OJ's acquittal.

 

Boston police dispatch, is buzy tonight.

The Cleveland "protest" was just a bunch of whining.

If you have a message and a goal, that is a protest. Blocking traffic is just "look at me! I'm not happy!" bullshit.

I understand that people are upset. They have every right to feel that way. I understand that people want law enforcement to reevaluate their rules for use of deadly force to prevent future deaths of suspects ...but how does blocking traffic and inconveniencing everyone BUT the police achieve any progress toward that goal?

I think these protests alienated more people than they won over.

Found this on the interwebz while scrolling through all the BS about this. Wish I could meet this man and shake his hand and buy him a drink.......

My name is William G. Lillas….

I wanted to clear up a few black and white questions and answers. The things I state are facts. They are not downloaded from some media website, not propaganda, just observations from a 83 year old black man, born in America:

“I was told by my parents (yes, a married man and woman with my last name), that I was n*****. We lived in “N***** Town” in a small Texas town, no A/C, grass growing through the floor, no car, no TV. We washed our bodies with lye soap that my mother made, by hand. I thought I was a n*****, until I graduated high school, went to college, did an enlistment in the Army, and got a job. I am now retired, own my own home, have 6 children by ONE WOMAN, and we all have the same last name. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts, a Master’s Degree in Sociology. My retirement, VA disability from combat in the Korean War (I only have one leg), and part-time pay in a local college, is about $125,000 a year. From dirt poor n*****, to old, black, proud American.

Yes, I am black, and I can say “n*****”, because I understand the true meaning of the word.

Let’s clear up a few things about the Michael Brown incident.

-Fact: It is not called “shoplifting or stealing”, it’s called “robbery”, which is a felony. Brown stole something and assaulted someone, that means ROBBERY. It’s on video, and it’s a fact. Not shoplifting, not theft, not “lifting” a few cigars, but ROBBERY!

-Michael Brown, like Trayvon, was portrayed by the media as a “little black boy”, cute little headphones, and his cap and gown photo, gunned down by a ruthless police assassin, executed by “whitey”. First, I have never seen a cop drag a person into their car’s driver door to arrest them. So, let us be clear, Michael Brown was a n*****; a sorry assed, criminal, hoodlum, n*****. Nobody wants to say that, but I will. He had a criminal record a mile long, was known for numerous assaults, robberies, including the one you saw with your own eyes, and still refuse to call it a robbery. He was, like so many others, living a life that he thought he was “entitled” to, just for being alive. Gangsta rap, weed, drinking, guns, and those stupid-assed low profile rims, makes him some kind of bad-ass n*****.

-I have fought communist Chinese and North Korean soldiers in the 1950’s with more honor than that n*****. Yep, I peeled potatoes and shot communists. That’s the only job a n***** soldier could get.

Rodney King? Black Riots!

Trayvon? Black Riots!

-Hurricane Katrina? Black Riots! Stealing TV’s, designer clothes, etc.

-O.J. Simpson kills white man and white woman, found NOT GUILTY? Did white folks riot? Nope!

-In fact, when is the last time white people rioted? Civil War, maybe? That’s because they are, relatively, civilized people, much like many black Americans. Protesting is one thing, hell, I’m all for it. Even if you are an ignorant idiot, you have a right to protest.

-Stop only showing the young black “cap and gown” photos of Michael. Charles Manson may have a few of those laying around, as well. Show the n***** “gangsta” photos of the “poor unarmed teenager” (grown man) pics that have been removed from his Facebook page, holding the loaded pistol, smoking weed, with a mouthful of money.

-Militarization? The stupid-assed media that publicizes this has no idea what “militarization” really is. Cops wear helmets and vests, and drive armored vehicle because unemployed n*****s thrown bricks at them, moron! You put on an “Adam 12″ uniform and walk down the streets of Ferguson during the criminal riots. I can guarantee that you’ll jump into the first armored “military tank” that you see.

-You only “want the police” when you “need the police”, otherwise, you mock and fear what you do not understand about the police. And by the way, the police are trained to take your shit, but I wouldn’t fuck around with those Army National Guard, they aren’t as well disciplined “culturally” to take your shit like police do every day. They will ventilate your black asses with M-16s, with military precision and extreme prejudice.

-And finally, the way we protest and demand justice, is run down the streets breaking shit, looting stores, and acting like a bunch of untrained monkeys? Hell, after Rodney King, criminal n*****s were actually killing people, thinking they were entitled to be worse criminals than they already were. For those black criminals that do that, you are a disgrace to your race, inflamed by idiots like Al Sharpton, instead of listening to logic from proud black Americans, like Bill Cosby, Samuel Jackson, Colin Powell, Allen West, me, etc.

-You blame white people for your ignorance, criminal acts, unemployed laziness, etc.

-You blame white people for 89% of the prisons in America being full of blacks. They did nothing wrong, the racists white cops framed them all, right? No chance at school, no chance for college, military, employment?

BULL SHIT!

-More n*****s kill n*****s, than n*****s killing whites, whites killing n*****s, and whites killing whites….COMBINED. I find this astounding.

-It’s not white peoples’ faults, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by a white man years ago. You can go to school, get a job, buy a house, and vote, JUST LIKE WHITE FOLKS!!!! You are not a slave, you are not discriminated against! Slavery is abolished, and nobody alive today, was alive when it was popular. Get over it! You are discriminated against because you are a criminal, sorry-assed n*****. Otherwise, black Americans are treated like everyone else.

-If you choose to create “baby daddy and baby mama”, and fake disabilities as an excuse for laziness to draw social security disability…… instead of husband, wife, family, job, mortgage, it’s YOUR FAULT, not white folks. And there are a lot of proud black Americans that will tell you the same, as I AM ONE OF THEM!!!

-Remember, the way you act on the camera, is remembered by everyone who sees it. They will never forget it. It shows them how you, as the black race, respond to situations that don’t particularly go the way you think they should. It will become a reference standard, something they expect from you when the next media report doesn’t go your way. Stop being stupid n*****s, and be a proud black American. My parents raised me well, but they were wrong about one thing, I am not a n*****.

I will not be around long. While my mind is still sharp, and my aim is still good, my body is eating away with cancer. It started in the prostate, and is spreading rapidly. After I die, I have asked my children to publish my writings, and include my name. Although I am not expecting any miracles, I can only hope that Americans will stop blaming color, start blaming criminals, and see people for what the y really are. We have too many countries that want us dead. We should not be fighting each other.

No idea if this warning is in reference to my post, but I made no mention of race whatsoever.  As a matter of fact, the news broadcast showed there were as many white protestors playing in traffic as there were black.  I believe the term I used used was "fools" and I stand by my assessment.

Hope none thinks my story I posted was either, it has absolutely nothing to do with skin color or ethnicity, it's all about a life style and choices people make. Yes the guy uses the N word a lot but I know a lot of white boys that it applies to also. Edited November 26, 2014 by 2talltim
