Walter Scott's Family To Al Sharpton…Stay away

[Zaac]

There are no indications that this shooting was racially motivated.

None at all.

But I'm sure the race baiters will be out in force. Even right here on BB.

See sometimes people need to just be quiet because they make everyone else with a little sense look stupid. Willful ignorance should not be waved around like a red badge of courage.

Of course this was about race and racially motivated. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get his head checked.

So let me allow someone else to explain this to the willfully ignorant:

For those who are still confused about why the killing of Walter Scott is about race, here's why: Because as I'm getting dinner at my Philadelphia hotel, I overhear two white people discussing the event, and one of them says "why do black people run from police...if they wouldn't run this wouldn't happen.."
That's why.

Now, excuse me while I go answer that question, and excuse me please for not being kind as I do so...I mean, I'll try but I'm not going to obsess about it ..Despite the new movement wisdom, with which I generally agree, to the effect that white folks need to be "called in" to the work, rather than called out, the fact is, some folks really do need to be called out, and this is one.

Letting them know that not all white people agree with their nonsense is more important than trying to turn them into progressive/left activists. They aren't going to be brought into the work, as is true for most white folks. They simply need to be neutralized. Some folks can be saved and some cannot. I think we need to face that reality and not be Pollyana about how people can be brought over to our side with the right argument or with decent engagement or compassion. Sorry, but I've been white long enough to know better...I think letting folks know that their views are unacceptable, period, is more valuable than insisting that they go read Audre Lorde or bell hooks and then get back to us (as if they would do these things to begin with). This naive leftist view that everyone is redeemable is the kind of thing only believable by people with very little experience in the world outside of their little leftist bubbles...I'm just trying to be honest here. I believe in being kind to people, but I do not accept this notion, increasingly popular among some, that somehow we don't call people out harshly for their indifference to black and brown suffering because we believe, for some unknown reason, that they're really all potential revolutionaries if they just read a little more Gramsci or whatever...no, no they are not...

Prove it, Race Baiter. :laugh:

 

[righteousdude2]

Most of America does not see race involved. They see an out of control cop, and I don't know anyone who doesn't feel awful for the victim and his family, or doesn't want the copS brought to justice

Exactly!:wavey: ​

Prove it, Race Baiter. :laugh:

You just did race baiter.

 

[Zaac]

Exactly!:wavey: ​

Pure foolishness. Most of WHITE America may not see race involved. The white people with good sense do.

You wouldn't keep talking about "why don't Black folks just cooperate or why don't they just stop running" if it were not about race.

Al Sharpton is a dirtbag.


Zaac has nothing intelligent to say about race.


The sun rises in the east.

And Curtis sticks his head in the ground because any truthful discussions about race make him uneasy.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

What I'm uneasy about is you bearing false witness. You do it with such ease.

It bothers me to see you call everyone a racist. You are the one who brings up race more than anyone I know, on or off the board.

This thread is about Al Sharpton. You have plenty of other thread to prattle on about how evolved you believe you are.

And you should be uneasy about yourself telling lies. If I bear false witness, I don't have a problem saying so.

It bothers me to see you call everyone a racist. .

And it bothers me to see you telling lies. Where have I called everyone a racist Curtis? Please point it out to me.

I am very much aware of what I DO say and when I say it. So please show me where I've called everyone a racist.

You are the one who brings up race more than anyone I know, on or off the board

And ? Some of you act like it's a sin to address the big white elephant in the room just because yall are uncomfortable doing so. You sound like those folks back during the 60s who acted like if they just pretended to not see the black folks getting lynched , then it didn't have to be reality.

This thread is about Al Sharpton. You have plenty of other thread to prattle on about how evolved you believe you are.

The thread is also about Walter Scott's, the black man who was murdered by the white officer, family. They are Black. Their son was Black. So if you didn't want me to talk about the system and how it treats Blacks, then don't start a topic about the family of a black man who was murdered by a white police officer.:thumbsup:

The thread is also about Walter Scott's, the black man who was murdered by the white officer,

ALLEDGELY murdered.
The man has NOT yet been convicted.

 

[Zaac]

You go ahead and mince words all you want. I'm not alleging anything. He very calmly murdered another man in cold blood.

So you are telling me that being convicted by the media - is sufficient for you.
And I suppose you would have convicted me of the theft of the 300 dollars that I mentioned on another thread on this subject.

Not mincing words -giving the FACTS - you might try checking the Constitution of the United States

Just curious - what would be your response - IF the cop is found not guilty of second degree murder?

And before you ask - if found guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, I will state that justice has been served.

Nope. I'm telling you I saw a video of a man running away from a police officer and the police officer shot him in the back. MURDER.

I addressed that thread in that thread.

I'm giving the facts too. The police officer murdered the man. You might try checking God's word.

Just curious - what would be your response - IF the cop is found not guilty of second degree murder?

My response would be that this country will 100% have a race war on its hands and a whole lot of white people nationally and internationally are gonna position themselves against the folks who are okay with the human rights violations against Blacks in the United States.

And before you ask - if found guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, I will state that justice has been served.

I wasn't asking.

He murdered that man and it's been seen by billions.

 

[Salty]

Nope. I'm telling you I saw a video of a man running away from a police officer and the police officer shot him in the back. MURDER. .

So there is no need for a court case?

I addressed that thread in that thread..

Don't think so - if you did respond to post # 12; what was the post #
(only one response after my post - and it wasn't by you)

My response would be that this country will 100% have a race war on its hands.

That I agree with.

 

[Zaac]

So there is no need for a court case?

Did I say that? You can have all the court cases you wish. He's still guilty of murder and will give an account to God for that murder.
