Discussion: Racism - Part 3

[terry78]

It's been a thing for decades. Others are only now seeing it.

There are some black people posting and it's making me uncomfortable.

So, is this - white people calling cops on black people for no damn reason - a growing phenomena, or are we simply becoming more aware of it?

Heh. Of course this isn't anything new. Just like cops didn't just start beating mofos' asses with the Rodney King tape.

If you're black and never been followed in the store you haven't made your bones yet.

 

[DeadPresident]

I need to return my white privilege then because it's acting up, I get followed at stores, too. Maybe I'm just thief-faced.

Security and retail staff become your shadow when you step into some stores as a black man.

Well that proves it. No racism.

There has been a debate on social media and the press if the 'Gammon' insult is racist towards white people this week.

Thank goodness somebody else is pointing this out, I thought I was the only ... oh, you were being sarcastic, never mind everybody, carry on.

Even if it were it is a mild one compared to what other insults are.

Bro that is always the excuse: It has never happened to me, so it's not as common as people think. I've never had my ass beat by the police but I darn sure know it happens. It's the bubble some people chose to live in. It's also a form of denial.

Maybe she'll face a lawsuit from the officer. Also, good to see race baiter Shaun King jumped on this story without waiting for the cbody camera footage and it blew up in his face.

Race baiter. Dude got beat by rednecks but he's a race baiter. He has every right to feel the way he does because of what he went through. Some of you guys just don't get it.

 

[Schlosser85]

Shaun King is basically male Rachel Dolezeal, minus getting called out for it (as much).

 

[Travesty]

lol, the fact that Shaun King is the head of BLM is one of the funniest things imaginable. I actually think he looks way whiter than Dolezeal(who is still obviously white), and yet, people still believe he’s a black dude.

It always sucks when someone lies about sexual assault because people unfortunately try to use those liars to discredit real victims.

Almost as funny as you thinking he's "the head" of BLM.

BLM is a decentralized grass roots movement. There is no one leader of of blm.

Martin Luther King wasn't the sole leader of the civil rights movement in the 20th century either. Civil rights movement was also often a decentralized grassroots movement with various regional leaders with their own motivations and tactics.

 

[terry78]

Like some people think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the "leaders" of black people. Do white people have a leader?

On his Wikipedia page, it said he got beat by a group but the investigator determined after interviewing six witnesses that it was one on one and described his injuries as being minor.

Whatever really happened that day, it wouldn't change that is a race baiter. Its how he makes his living.

Or just speaking up on things that are happening that no one else is. Some of you guys kill me when you talk like racism doesn't exist. It's like what's going on in the NFL. People want to see world to be seen how they see it so they don't want to see players kneeling, even though they are protesting quietly. It's because they don't' want to believe racism still exist and want to some how blame minorities. I see people online blaming the NBA player Brown when the cops are clearly in the wrong. Imagine if he wasn't in the NBA. He would probably be doing 10 years in prison for something he didn't do. Call it race baiting, I call it showing you the ugly side of the USA you don't want to admit exist.

I don't see how calling out Shaun King for being a race hustler equates to saying racism doesn't exit. It certainly does, its alive and well in many forms, not just white on black either. But Shaun King doesn't care about racism. He cares about stirring up controversies and creating noise so he can elevate his social media status(here's a hint as to why: $).

Heres a tweet from King: https://***********/shaunking/status/950759105332948992?lang=en
"Police in Little Rock, Arkansas shot & killed 17 y/o high school senior Charles Smith, Jr.

He was a beloved son and student - pulled over by police for a routine traffic stop. Friends say the stop was classic racial profiling

32 people killed by American police already in 2018."

The facts of this incident are that the car Smith was riding in was pulled over for speeding and having a broken tail light. During the search of Smith the police found a gun, Smith fired at least one round from that gun almost hitting one of his friends, then chambered the gun again to try to fire at police. The video is on YouTube.

Now, does King care about these facts? Nope. He'd rather create a narrative of a young, innocent black child shot by police. He evens throws out the statistic that 32 people have been killed by police. Never mind the specific circumstances of those instances, or whether or not they were justified. Now please tell me I'm wrong for thinking hes a piece of ****.

I can also find a four leaf clover in a clover field. Does that make it common? And I honestly could careless about King. I don't like the term "race baiter" because people use that often when someone brings up race, even when it is justified but a lot of times, people don't want to hear it because they can't relate, don't want to believe it happens or just easily dismiss it as "well if he only complied....." the crap gets old.

Not even the point of the post. Fascinating seeing what people zero in on.
