Eric Garner doesn't get justice

The poor white person feels scared when blatant evidence is shown that the whole system is racist that they're attempting to defend. Cute.

Your "evidence" is hard stats which may or may not have a causation to your underlying point. Without understanding the details of every case all you are doing is making a correlation and passing it off as fact.

That's what I was complaining about earlier. Why is stereotyping okay to do to certain groups but taboo to do to other groups? These people don't make sense to me.

You remember Zitos Israel Thread that he started and he made anti-Semite post after anti-Semite post?

Funny how he forgot his views towards Israel but he stands on moral grounds and calls people 'racist'

People have looked into individual cases and found that as well. you're ignoring every flashing light and assuming everything is OK.

I think you need to look up what anti-Semite means. Not supporting a state's actions doesn't make one an anti-Semite.

I deleted the post because of people hijacking the thread. Made my point clear, and people still insisted on hijacking it. There was nothing good or productive, just lots of chest beating anti-Islam rhetoric going on in a thread I started to discuss War Crimes committed by Israel.

No, I have not. How many times do I have to say that I believe there is still an unfortunate amount of inherent racism in this country? You can believe I mean it or not. Thats your decision.
 
Lets not make this into a thread about Israel please. If we are going to talk about that again lets just bring that thread back to life. There are too many important domestic issues in this thread to get off tangent.

There you deflect it again, from the criminal justice system, onto the country. The country has moved along at a faster rate than the criminal justice system.

The justice system is made up of people in this country.

Not in the same way though. People day to day year to year can change their opinions. Laws and practices take much longer to change. YOu think the rash of killing unarmed civilians by cops will result in an overnight change? No it won't. It will take a long time for anything to change in the criminal justice system. It's the same basic bull**** as congress, everything moves way slower there. If the criminal justice system was a corporation, they'd have been bankrupt years ago for it's inability to adapt to the times.

You can have the DNA of a human and still not act like one. Brown chose his fate. Shame for his family and friends that he is gone but its his fault he is no longer alive.

You are finally getting it. The first sentence should have been your first about it. Brown "acted" like a thug and paid the price for being one (which I concur). The way you frame words is abysmal to say the least. You might not be racist, but dealing with this schit for 46 years, you can see who is and who is not by their emotions or words they speak and you are on the fence in that regard. In my wife's family there are a few that don't like me being with my wife because I am black and black only, not that I am great person who they do respect. Does it bother me, heck no, I don't like them back, so it goes both ways.

I think people within the system are racist just based on pure stats. With that said on those instances it's not fair. I just think people are too quick to make the claim of racism.

There is some truth to that....I admit, but I do know that "some" in the system are racist based on personal experience. Not saying all, but it is skewed that way in a "lot" of instances.
 
Excessive use of force. It's too bad there are bad apples. I work with law enforcement daily at the ER, and I respect all of them as upstanding individuals.

Just like with Michael Brown tho, if he was white, nobody would be protesting, playing dead, or even being outraged. Nobody would care.

Nobody cares when thugs murder cops. Nobody cares when blacks kill each other. Nobody cares when blacks kill whites.

It's all pretty one sided.

i have a HUGE problem anytime a cop abuses their power and hurts or kills a fellow American
 
Not sure what the outrage is over the Brown case.

What happened to Garner was outrageous.
