Members alphanguy74 Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 Now that is TRUE... HELL YES. And might I add homeowner's assocation Nazis who demand you paint your house one of 10 shades of dookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 You forgot to mention Bill Cosby's rant, the standard go to of certain white people (notice I didn't generalize) who feel the need to lecture black people with passive aggressive racism in the form of "you need to better for your people".

Members dragonflies Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 it to me is racist no matter WHO says it, racism is stupidity at it's finest & black, white, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 Exactly. George Zimmerman was free to "think" Trayvon was suspicious but he crossed the line by confronting him. The reality is that George Zimmerman stalked and murdered a teenage boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 If people don't want to transcend their position in life, then there's nothing I, or anyone else can do about it. Bill did it, Oprah did it, Obama did it.... white folk have that element as well, it's called trailer trash. It's only people with chips on their shoulders that think when I'm speaking of a particular element in the black community, I'm speaking of ALL black people.

Members alphanguy74 Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 I think that's the crux of the argument. Confronting someone is in no way illegal unless you LAY YOUR HANDS on someone. You can debate whether this occured, and that is fine, but actual physical contact is where the line is crossed. And it's not stalking unless it's done more than once, there must be a pattern of repeated behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I just don't hesitate to call out racist bullshit when I see. I'd never run around lecturing about trailer trash (your words not mine), because I don't think there needs to be a racial element included in calling on people to do better. People in general ought to do better, but the notion that improvement needs to be across the board is so foreign to some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 They talked about that on 20/20 Friday. It disgusted me because he was looking for trouble and lying syaing he was in fear for his life and hs was about to be jumped. The men were just wondering why he was on the property he shouldve stayed his ass home and let the police handle it. He killed a young father. Here is the story of John McNeil a black man in Georgia who shot a white man who was on McNeil's property snooping around while McNeil's son was home alone. He claimed stand your ground and despite testimony from witnesses claiming the white man was the aggressor he was convicted. Luckily he was released but he had to plead guilty to manslaughter and got released on time served. SMH. http://newsone.com/2212460/john-mcneil-freed/ What a great country we live in.

Members marceline Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 And that's I think a bigger issue than the racial implications, the NRA and ALEC have turned this country into the wild west where anybody can shoot anyone else then claim they were afraid. It's easier to be a gun toting coward than a responsible citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just have to hope that in 50 years we'll be at a point where instead of 45% of the population being racist that we are at 20%....maybe I'm being naive but a part me will always been an optimist and believe in the better nature of humanity....
