I saw this (non religious) video on Facebook and it made me angry

[Minimalist]

Why are Christians conservative or even republican?

Because being flat-out stupid is a precondition to both.

[Cato]

funny you should mention fact and reason... I know I left some around here somewhere...
oh, yeah see the post above this one.

Is this seriously the extent of your response to the information I had to spoon feed you?

[pocaracas]

as pro carrots pointed out already.

You know, Drich... not everyone will get the reference... I think you're taking this nickname a bit too far. It was fun once or twice, but it's becoming weird...

What I see is exactly what is being said. A white guy breaking into a car, no one cares. A black guy breaking into a car, people looking at him like wtf is this guy doing and eventually the police coming and arresting him.

Whether or not you like it, Drich, that is reality. Now would it always happen this way? No, of course not, but you're definitely less likely to be suspected of criminal activity if you're white in America. That is a fact.

Here is an example from New York a northern state that isn't particularly racist compared to southern states.

"In 2013, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 191,558 times.
169,252 were totally innocent (88 percent).
104,958 were black (56 percent).
55,191 were Latino (29 percent).
20,877 were white (11 percent)."

In New York in 2013, 65% of the population was white, 17% Hispanic, 15% black.

Damn statistics always screwing up the propaganda conspiracy accusin'!!

This is no different that what himmler did for the Nazi's.

The fuck is wrong with you dude.

It's a PROPAGANDA Film! and because it is about something you are indoctrinated to quickly identify and hate, it becomes ok?!?!?!

Holy Crap, what is wrong with wanting to be told the truth, and then making a desision based off the whole facts?

I have accuratly demonstrated the facts given to us have been modified to make us think a certain way... Take the subject matter off the table. If this metheodology is permissable then literally any subject we can plug into this indoctrination techniques then become ok.

Today it is raceism, tomorrow (Fill in the blank with your sin of choice.) Next it will be genocide of all of those who do not thing and hold the same value as you do.

Modifying the truth for any reason is a slipperly slope.

Drich, what's your point? Do you think racism doesn't exist or something?

Read my last line again. I am a product of a bi racial marriage. i know raceism exists. Just not as dipicted in the instance the video protrays.

If racism was as bad as they said it was in the way they are trying to put on film then why not simply be truthful and show exactly what happened? Why edit the film together and then lie about it? If they have to lie about the films orgins then we can safely assume that the film does not tell the whole story.

Good lord. You've made the jump from circlejerk-logic Christian apologist to a tinfoil-behatted conspiracy theorist pretty quickly. It's always rich to listen to someone like you scream about indoctrination, facts, and wanting the truth.

yup.

Your whole arguement was predicated on my appeal to emotion. I dismissed your whole efforts because my arguement was not an appeal to emotion. It was indeed based in fact and in reason.

If you don't want me calling you by a nick name just say so.. In turn i kindly ask you do the same.

Losty, a little off topic but it may help:

Go get a spare key made and a bit of flexible but strong wire.
Make a loop in the wire to hold the key.
Bend the wire in a U and slide the key behind your license plate.
Remember that it's there.

I did all the above for my wife, including the last sentence.

Personally, I never lock my car.
Nothing in it is as valuable as having to replace a window.
On nice days my car is the only one in the parking lot w/ all the windows down.

so.. you believe the video protrays the events recorded honestly?

My argument laid bare the objective and measurable racial disparity in the U.S. criminal justice system. Neither your video nor your conspiratorial commentary addressed my argument. You haven't dismissed my argument, you simply ignored it because it demolishes your preconceived notions.
