I read everything you wrote and gave detailed explanations for why I disagreed.

Your getting mad because I disagreed.

I don't think Ki should be treated like a second class citizen for his opinions or his approach to the issues.
But he is not offering any mature responses. He is complaining about the creation of the thread not the topic itself and there is a difference.

If he doesn't care about the topic than its pointless for him to keep coming back in the thread with the same b.s.

And instead of recognizing the effect of their apathy they get defensive because it's easier not to care.


I agree. I think the people who are not targets of police brutality have a hard time identifying with the issue and don't see it as a problem. Also, imo when it comes to racial minority issues, white people tend to not want to admit when their race is at fault and are oblvious to the whole institutionalized systematic racism that plagues minorities today. The law enfrocement/police is all apart of that. I think a part of the reason why they are oblivious is because they don't experience racism on the same level as minorities. They dont have to worry about being racially profiled or being held back from their raise because of the color of their skin because they are born with white privilege.

I'm not educated enough to offer an explanation on why that is largely the truth but I'd wager prejudice is involved. Perhaps I'm paranoid and perhaps I should be.

You don't know what people do in their personal lives to make a statement like this.

Personally, I am a part of social community groups and hope to focus on these types of issues in my field. So just because people state opinions over the internet does not mean they are not putting their money where there mouth is when they log off the internet.

You're being a hypocrite here because you are telling me I can't give my opinion on this thread about the fact that I think it's pointless and a joke, yet you say it's ok for people to express their opinions on various topics. I've given my opinion on this topic and you've told me I've been trolling and adding nothing to the topic, even though you've been caught not reading people's responses and ranting off about pointless jibber jabber throughout this entire thread.

If you want people to take you seriously, you need to take other people seriously and not try to shove your facts down people's throats and expect people to agree with you. We've had this issue with you before in another thread and in that thread you said you apologized and realized what you were doing, however it doesn't seem to have had much of an effect on you since it seems like you'd rather pull the same old **** and expect people to take you seriously.

I have always found that to be strange. I know some people don't like to discuss minority issues on this board and that is okay. No one is not making you reply in this thread please don't derail it with foolishness.

The thread was started to ask why people like you respond the way you do to these issues on this forum and that was your first response. Followed by an insensitive joke and comparing white deaths at the hands of police to black deaths at the hand of police. It's a very specific discussion to which you've contributed nothing to. If anything you've just provided evidence for SF's argument in this paragraph:
