Racism and America

[mrgybe]

People who burn down businesses, smash windows, loot shops are chant "what do we want; dead cops" are a rabble. It probably escaped the attention of Mother Jones, Dail Kos and your other left wing go-to sources that there were large numbers of white people included in that rabble. Your accusations of racism are pathetic, the classic last resort of those with no argument, and typical of someone whose mind is so closed that it cannot countenance a different perspective, regardless of how many share that perspective. Believe what you wish. I no longer have any interest in your views.

"... typical of someone whose mind is so closed that it cannot countenance a different perspective, regardless of how many share that perspective."


I'm getting the impression that the "different perspective" is the result of a trial by the media, particularly the spin and blame coming from those on the right. The conclusions being reached are far from the truth, yet they readily reflect the degree of prejudice and hate coming from many media viewers and listeners.

I bristled when Mark Fuhrman (remember? The OJ case detective?) observed that the Michael Brown case was a clear example of racism. But then he explained, and I fully agreed: Would Brown have attacked if the cop were black?

at least partisan right wing owned and controller washington post has no choice but to print the results of a poll...

If you remove the idiots from Fox and idiots from the polling the majority of americans believe there is not equality and if you just asks blacks 9 out of ten say no. Yep there is 10% of the blacks that may live somewhere where the doors do not lock as they walk by like Bill Cosby the right wing hero... But our own president has experienced this himself. i am amazed there is no serious study done by the so called liberal universities to see exactly who is telling the truth here. Fox and friends types say this is not true...

Racism, a successful tool for one POS as a weapon for a shakedown for money.
How this guy gets to share the stage with the mayor of NYC and gets the ear of BHO on so many occasions is totally beyond me. They may as well be granting the same access to Louis Farrakhan, you could barely fit a piece of paper between the two of these baiters.
And you wonder why race relations have gotten worse over the last six years. This guy should be in jail, for tax evasion at the very least.

So quick to bash black sources and so quick to accept whatever the cops leak. Maybe some of you are interested in the rest of the story of what was said before the grand jury in Ferguson. My source is David Dante Troutt. A few tidbits:

- The man with Brown, Dorian Johnson, says the cops reaction to their jaywalking was to tell them to "Get the fuck on the sidewalk", and to whip his truck backward, nearly hitting them, and open the door so violently it bounced against both of them and closed again. Johnson says that Wilson grabbed Brown around the neck through his truck window, initiating the scuffle.

--eleven out of fourteen witnesses believed that Wilson shot at a fleeing suspect.

--twelve of fourteen said that Brown's hands were raised when he was fired on.

Maybe not all of this is credible--but neither is the rehearsed testimony of Wilson and the leaks repeated here by the right wing.

It is amazing how white folks can always find racism in black activists that grew up in America. But never seem to see any issues with citing southern sheriffs that violently attacked black demonstrators.
