I guarantee you, if you have six white guys flipping off the cops and doing nothing much else than giving attitude they sure as hell won't get shot. Six black guys? Much more likely. Of course if you act law-abiding and respectful you probably are more likely to be left alone, but in the case of some of the recent cases it was clear racial profiling as far as I can see, and attitude had nothing to do with it.

There are times naturally when you invite that kind of behaviour. Nobody in their right mind walks up to a cop and calls him names, or pretends to draw a gun, and if they do then they make a rod for their own back. But the problem seems to be that now the FIRST reaction seems to be to shoot if black, NOT the LAST reaction, which is surely not right? If someone's giving you hassle, and you're a cop, take them in be they black or white or other, but you surely need a better reason than "he was black" to start shooting?

I asked you a yes or no question and you replied with "actually" as if you are contradicting me. I didn't ask how few or how many or how often or who agrees with you, I asked you if you ever considered why your comments are generally unpopular, on this forum, whenever there is a debate. I also didn't say "always", there are some threads that you don't create a shit show in.

I generally agree with you about racial issues, you're just too busy accusing me of white privilege and being racist because we have very different ways of presenting our opinions on the subject, even though we want the same thing.

All white people are born with white privilege sweets.

Its nothing personal thats just the way of the world and the way it is. However, some of your comments kinda reflected that mentality.

Once again, this is not your fault but I was just trying to get you to understand where I was coming from.


To answer your question, most people don't agree with me on most topics because they dont care for me (I know that and I am okay with that) because I don't care. I'm not here to be popular lol

And was is it that you want Dwn?

I am tired of seeing young black men shot at and killed. I want justice and equality for African Americans, thats what I want.
