so then what are you? democrats are supposed to be liberal.. hillary isnt but she says he is!

What;s paranoid about American institutions treating black Americans unfairly? There's categorical evidence throughout the country's history lol. Critiquing those institutions is not inherently a call to violence. Even Malcolm X and the Black Panther's rhetoric was often more about self-reliance.

I absolutely did ask you about it. lol -- you're very bad at this.

democrats are not always liberal, sir. many were/are conservative in fact. this lumping together is fairly new and not accurate in MANY cases.

Pretty bold of @blair to come out against doctors being shot in the face btw

 

Jul 18, 2016

Yeah they aren't always liberal but they are supposed to be, just like republicans aren't always conservative & utilize big govt.

What does this have to do with anything???????? What point are you trying to make? Which of my arguments does this refute? You're awful at this.

 

Jul 18, 2016

You were accusing another poster of being racist for making the point I just made.

By that logic, should we hold Salinger responsible for Lennon's death?

And do you not see the irony in demonizing media for exposing unjust killings using the justification that it might have caused unjust killings?

 

Jul 18, 2016

I was not. If you think that's the argument I was having with Kon you need to sharpen those ol' reading skills.

 

Jul 18, 2016

I agree with what @WPG has said in this thread. Made some great points. But he is just going off at anybody lol.

 

Jul 18, 2016

I'm "going off" at people who are making stupid arguments.

@blair i didnt say you endorsed trump. i asked you to vote for Hillary. Or promise you WOULDNT vote for trump..........

 

Jul 18, 2016

Ehh I love it
stops people from saying dumb s--- without evidence

 

Jul 18, 2016

Well, I won't vote for Hillary, sorry. Likely not voting for Trump either, but you shouldn't even care who I vote for because my state is blue regardless.

 

Jul 18, 2016

lol nah I wish that were the case, but this thread is strong evidence to the contrary.

 

Jul 18, 2016

The point is that this isn't seen as individual policemen being s---. The narrative is that the state is actively trying to k--- you. and not the general population, but specifically black people. I'd be fine to admit that there are people in the system who are racist (it's not my country , so i dont know) but implying that the system itself was built for your demise is far fetched considering Obama will NEVER be shot by police, and he's just as black as any of you could be.

I would easily concede that individual policemen who patrol black neighborhoods might stereotype black kids who act/look/dress a certain way. but @WPG does make it sound like the institution of state itself simply hates black people and that is the type of narrative that will make people violent.

I missed Prhyme previous posts thought that was his first post in the thread.

 

Jul 18, 2016

Jul 18, 2016

Nah I was just messing. I hate Hillary

 

Jul 18, 2016
