Ironically, this post is pure racism, or at the very least, stereotyping (of which racism is a subset). It is allowing your perception of someone to be altered by the actions of someone else.
My perception hasn't been altered by anything. I'm just speaking from what I'm seeing and hearing in the news. Based upon what I have seen of cops in the news lately, I highly doubt there wouldn't be more dead folks if they were Black.
Zaac, with all the speaking out against racism you do, I am honestly surprised you would post in such a manner.
In what manner? The manner that causes white people to stop pretending like everything is alright and that police officers aren't killing black people while apparently doing everything they can to not kill white suspects?
As I've said. I'm real. I deal with black adults and students all the time. And while most of the folks on this board sit back and believe the mess that they've been conditioned to believe, the people in the Black communities have a completely different viewpoint.
They see the way the black suspects are always portrayed as violent career criminals while the white suspects are portrayed as the good students or as the family men.
They see the way the black suspects are shot dead as a first option while the white suspects are treated as if the last thing anyone wants to do is shoot them.
White people have produced this movie. So don't blame me for critiquing it.
Derrick Daniel Thomas
32-year old Thomas barged into a strangers home with a handgun, robbed the house and it’s inhabitants, shot at the house before fleeing on foot, where he threatened some construction workers, shot at the contractor five times, and then led police on a chase. After cornering the White man, the police allegedly told Thomas to drop his weapon. However Thomas refused and instead pointed the gun at the cops and allegedly responded: “No, you drop your (expletive) gun!”
Despite many threats to the police safety, Thomas was eventually taken into custody alive and without a single bullet hole to the body, where he was able to face five counts of aggravated assault, three counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, one count of criminal damage to property and a $500,000 bond – of course, this happened after the officers got his real name because originally, Thomas gave them an alias at booking, which they accepted as the truth
Steve Lohner
The name doesn’t ring familiar but the 18-year old kid from Aurora, Colorado tells a Denver Fox 31 News that he believes police are unfairly targeting simply because he is walking around town with a shotgun. Lohner is so incensed by his violation of his constitutional right, he has started to record his encounters with police including one video, which lasts for over seven minutes and involves him not getting shot. The station also reports about this kid’s grave injustice:
“Police who were called to the scene say they weren’t able to determine if he was doing it legally. Lohner refused to show them an ID to prove he’s 18.“I simply carry this for the protection of myself and those around me,” Lohner says. His shotgun is a Stoeger P-350 12 gauge.“I’ve been stopped close to a dozen times for this and this is actually the first time I’ve been forced to provide ID,” he says. The teen says he’s on a campaign to call attention to open carry laws. “I feel like a lot of people now they see a weapon like that and they think, you know, James Holmes or Sandy Hook,”
The Boston Marathon Bomber? Shoots at police. ALIVE.
What about the guy who shot up the movie theater?
The list grows everyday showing how police in these United States seem to do everything they can to keep from killing white suspects but just the opposite when the suspects are Black.
So if you think it makes me a racist to recognize the disparity of treatment of Blacks vs Whites by the police, I simply don't have a problem with it.
Some of you seem to think that ignoring it and saying it's not so, is gonna make it go away.
And as I've said before . The genie is out of the bottle and the world has seen it. Somebodies better start acknowledging the truth real quick or this country is heading for an all out race war.
