CameraNewbie 0 #1 December 17, 2014 A black female has a message for Mike Brown supporters What say you, those that disagree with her message? Another truthful post that will get the least amount of replies. What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #4 December 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure rushmc and others have confirmed that only Bill Cosby has ever spoken out about how black people sometimes behave. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kadde 0 #6 December 18, 2014 Why does a black person have to go out and speak against riots? I dident feel the need to go and speak out anytime a white person does something stupid. Why would one try to make any black person feel guilty for something that has no relation to them? People are bunched up from the very start by assumptions, from the first second every white person was assumed to agree with the police and any black person was pretty much assumed to be a "Mike Brown supporter" (Even thought Mike himself has very little to do with this apart from being "the last drop") I see several videos of black people apologies for what other black people do but this only comes from the fact that if they dont do this they are assumed to agree with what this random black person has done. Why? This doesnt only aply of blacks, iv seen it a bunch of times and it does nothing more then cause more separations in form of "us and them" mentality.

DanG 1 #7 December 18, 2014 I agree with you. Every time a member or members of some "other" group, like blacks or Muslims, does something wrong, there is a spate of right wing posts here asking why the rest of that community isn't speaking out. It's stupid. I was commenting on that. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's stupid. I was commenting on that. I actually agree with the part that all people have opinions and we can listen or not and should be biased by their cosmetics. I do disagree about it ONLY being extreme righties. I see it here across the board. Even so, it's confusing - the following is used for 3 or 4 different social issues, but this thread is the epitome of it Posters here "Group A has a unique situation, people from Group B need to shut the hell up and LISTEN as they don't understand the situation, they aren't wired to - we need to listen to Group A and ignore Group B. What people in Group A have to say is special" Some guy "Well, I think people are people, but if you insist, it sounds good, so here's some quotes from people in Group A" First posters "what the HELL dude? why are you quoting from people in Group A like it's something special? we're all just people." anyway, it's good for a laugh ...

I was trying to be pity. I guess what I should have said is when whites and blacks both stop thinking of "us" and "them" as separate groups, and starting thinking of "us" as human beings, then we can finally get a good round of kumbaya going. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
