There's quite a few black members here, does anyone see them rounding up support against white people?

Come on, LL. Don't be stupid.

Your post just amounts to:

"You're racist.

Stop discussing it, guys. I'm triggered!

Hurr durr"

Except for the Hurr durr part, that's exactly what I meant it to amount to.
I also see that all the usual members of the roundup are here.
I think it's a shame that you're one of them.

I like you for the most part, you're almost always sensible but when you resort to this it just makes me facepalm. AF is slowly becoming an echochamber.

Bella Morte, I like you for the most part too.
I can't and won't back down from my stance.
There is a big picture here.
We can agree to disagree.

I won't be backing down from mine either.

I sometimes just feel how what I'm going to say is going to sound wrong to people. So, instead, I just enter their mindset and tell them what they want to hear.

I don't really feel like I have a choice, really, given my past here.

Fuck that.

You've always got a choice, EP.

Don't conform to the usual views around here.

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the officer who shot him was black.

Looks like your short hairs got caught there, Chief.

"For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.”


― Thomas More, Utopia

Making fun of the poor people with little to no education is a dick move. They did not chose to be born into poverty, nor to be denied a proper education. Offer your poor fellow a helping hand, instead of a smirk. You ass.

Jesse James Romero was black or at least looked it (albeit mixed/lighter skinned), "speaking Spanish" isn't a race. He's also far from the first black victim of police brutality to not get a lot of coverage. If every victim did, we'd literally never stop talking about it.

But non-black Hispanic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French etc etc lives can all matter when they're routinely being gunned down by the police every day. You've missed the memo that your life already matters in America so it doesn't need stating that your life matters. That's the entire fucking point.
