some of you guys view blacks as "n-words with the er ending" and animals because you are racist. can you even admit to yourself that you view blacks as subhuman much like racist whites of the past? some of you are probably in denial.

Definition of racism

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race


you guys are practitioners of racism

That's cute.

Can you explain why black people are protesting/rioting over an illegally armed black man getting shot and killed by the Police a week after they were just protesting about wanting the Police to do something about the large number of gun related homicides in their community?

This has white people very confused.

maybe because there are hundreds of thousands of black people who have differing viewpoints. how do you know the same black people were at both protests? black people are not a synonymous group. just because a small group of them are protesting what looks like justified police action does not mean "black people" feel that way. just the ones at the protest. I can't speak on behalf of the minds of a small group of protestors or all black people.

when you refer to black people as "they", it almost lumps them into a singular group

Animals aren't a color thing. Just because someone calls a disgusting human an animal who happens to be black, doesn't mean he thinks all black are animals. Also calling someone who did something disgusting, who happens to be black, an animal doesn't automatically make you a racist. It just doesn't.

agreed, wasn't trying to suggest that

headed for record numbers on that.

Men and ladies in blue here need to be lauded for stepping up lately

Wonder if they gave applications out during these "riots" if they would show up so quickly? Guessing not.
