They should be held more accountable; they should be held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens. Power/responsibility dynamic.

So that's your answer: just comply more. Comply better. Always be complying.

It doesn't matter that you've maybe grown up in a social and institutional climate that has engendered in you the notion that you're criminal until proven "one of the good ones," that you have fewer rights or that they're more precarious because of your skin color, that you're targeted and seen as "enemy," less likely to be afforded any benefit of doubt. That you—inherently, instinctively, and through no fault of your own but merely by dint of birth—won't be trusted by authority, so why should trust authority?

You personally have even less clue about what was going on in that kid's head than you do about he did preceding or during the altercation that got him killed, but yet you're certain that he's a nefarious, no-good thug who'd only have gone on to do more harm, while his killer is entirely blameless in the incident.

Yet I'm the one blinded by ideology, married to conclusions, and unable to see reason.

absolutely fvkcing nailed it!!!

This is what I been preaching here for 12 years, I had to outwork my white colleagues to get in the position I am in now. I've worked with lazy half asses, don't show up on time, pitiful metric whiteys get raises while I got nothing, I worked double hard just to make sure when lay off time came, raises was the last thing on my mind. I had the metrics to back it up if it came to that.

Or he was a criminal that didnt like cops and/or didnt want to be arrested. Certainly since minutes earlier he committed a crime.
 
Remembering , I think it was, goldfly posted that 6 shots to Michael Brown. British police in total fired 3 shots last year.

Just sayin'

What do you say about under qualified people receiving positions or scholarships and/or bonuses simply bc they are a minority?

What about my high school classmates that got free rides to state colleges because of the color of their skin despite having lower grades an test scores. Does that bother you too?

Poor gilesfan.

Haven'y you admited to being significantly native american? That gets you into pretty much any school.
 
We all work with lazy people (of all colors) who get raises and probably get paid more than we do. Has nothing to do with race. I guess if you went into the situation with a chip on your shoulder you could make it about race, but not everything is about race

Did Ben Carson, herman Cain, etc use race as a crutch or use it as a reason to better themselves?

Lol. Sorry I have nothing to add to this other then the gold involved.
 
Why do you think they pushed it back?

So it would have blown over by then, when it comes back as no charge.

You say no charge no there'd be riots. You say no charge in October no one will notice.
 
If black people riot over no reason like Gilesfan and thethe have said, they'll riot then.

And I think it's pushed back because it's not cut and dry.

Has no bearing on me and what I said.

I said work, not school, work and work only. I only see what applies to me. If you want to go down that road you are on your own as I never got those privileges, I worked for mine and I am black as black can be and proof to back it up. I paid for all of my schooling without my parents help. I worked those extra hours, I did everything on my own. I had to prove myself before I became a Carlton Banks, not handouts or a family that had silver spoons. Yes we were considered middle class growing up but you still see others struggling and they did not got these grants, aids to get into universities, they had to earn it. Quotas is something of an enigma that I never saw, ever and I worked in pretty big places that as mostly 95%+ white.
