The complete bull crap would be the reading comprehension problem of the naysayers as nobody said ALL.
Just more pure foolishness coming from the cheap seats.

You apparently can't teach them to read either.
Nope. You call it what it is, and move on.

You realize that constantly saying "white privilege" doesn't make it any less racist? The most racist thing I've seen in this thread comes from your posts, Zaac. It's in the same vein and just as offensive as saying "black laziness" or anything along those lines. It only serves to be racially divisive, and really serves no other purpose at all.
Neither of these were about race at all. It's obvious to all except those who want racial division. If anything, I will concede that it's about police brutality. But even then it's fact that it's not in the case of Brown. And it's my opinion that it's not in the case of Garner.

Even Garners own daughter said it has nothing to do with race.
You and MANY others on this board agree....... any racist comment rules to enforce?

You just have to remember what his primary purpose is here at BB.

You know what Sapper. I don't particularly care. There is nothing racist about saying white privilege. It is what it is. There is an air in this country that stretches back to slavery that seems to have set in with some people.
It is white privilege born of slavery that somehow convinced some of you that the police have the right to just put their hands on someone like they are still slaves on a plantation. It's part of the attempt to emasculate in the same manner as the slave owners did with the slaves.
No I don't expect the average person ensconced in white privilege to get it because some don't want to accept that people can be this wicked over skin color.
Well they can. When you will systematically mistreat and harass one group of people from one side of the country to the other, and then have the audacity to blame the dead people for not submitting themselves to the same brutish behavior that slave masters daily put their "property" through, then it is white privilege that prevents us from seeing and understanding why these black men are responding the way they do.
If saying white privilege is divisive,then it needs to be. But it's no more divisive than a bunch of folks calling themselves Christians and calling part of the demographic thugs or saying they got what they deserved or saying why don't black people just comply with the officers?
Again, a bunch of crap. You show me how many Middle American white men the police have gone up to on the street and put in a chokehold and then have a prosecutor give everyone involved immunity because it's easier to excuse the behavior of one than it is to convince people that because it was a group behavior, that there is a systemic problem.
I have heard from several police officers on this, and they say that police officers are trained to NOT put their hands on anyone's neck under any circumstances.
This guy was attacked like he was some sort of animal.
The racial division continues to be born of white police officers treating black men as though they are still the slave master's property to be handled.
They didn't announce an arrest. They didn't place him under arrest. The man said repeatedly don't put your hands on me. You don't walk up on somebody and start putting your hands on them. It's flat out rude and unacceptable.
And it's EXACTLY what the slave owners used to do.
So yes, like it or not, there is STILL an air of white privilege that runs throughout this country.
And as a follower of Jesus Christ, it continues to sadden me that anyone, black or white, continues to be mistreated and murdered(Yes I said MURDERED) essentially because of the color of their skin.

She's free to say what she wants. I guess she can be this cases' Charles Barkley and help some of you to validate your feelings that it's not about race.
Wait a minute. The police sargent in charge was black. At least some of the shopowners who complained about him were black. How then, can you claim it was all about his ethnicity?
Facts are a just an inconvenient truth to the racist.....you making him do gymnastics again.

I didn't claim THAT.
