COLORED PEOPLE?????????????????? Doesn't that make YOU A RACIST?![]()
I'm speaking layman's terms because there's a lot of layman around here. ""
That's for God Damn sure, he's a total failure, un-qualified to lead the American people.
COLORED PEOPLE![]()
Not total, his time isn't up yet. He doesn't suit what he says he planned to do but I will always love and respect him. But I'm sure our criticisms of him while they may sound and look alike, the reasoning is strongly not the same. And thank God for that.
You judge and criticize him out of pure hatred.
I critique him out of concern for how he truly represents me as a young woman of color not born from money.
You have no reason to be concerned for what I am. Yet you make the most noise about him.
And I said he is not ordinary because he was elected for extraordinary reasons. He was elected to improve the lives of the people who gave him the most votes. No other president was elected to care in particular for people of color, women or youth, as a whole. He is fucking amazing that he represents that. But he is not amazing at representing us.
This is similar to the Mike Brown case http://news.yahoo.com/ex-officer-not-charged-fatal-milwaukee-shooting-144211939.html
In both cases, the cop acted in self defense and acted as almost anybody else would have done under the same circumstances. Cops are not expected to let themselves be killed or badly beaten just because the assailant happens to be black or, in this case, because he happens to be crazy.
The Garner case may be another matter.
Specify on what basis you make this statement.
Just askin'.
Hey, start your threads here as well, and I will post in them. I only check the GB now if I'm bored, or if nothing is going on here.
The Bottom Line: No One Is Stoking an Anti-Police Movement. We Just Want Better Policing.
Actually, at some people are. Have you heard the chants: "What do we want?" and the response: "Dead cops!"![]()
Those people have always existed, yet, we haven't regressed back to the Dark Ages.
So, the question is, why do you put such stock in them now? A convenient ax to grind? Or, can you really not see the forest for the trees?

I don’t think that they should fear the police. But I certainly think that we have to build up a better relationship between young people, people of color, and people in law enforcement. There’s distrust that exists on both sides. There’s misunderstanding that exists on both sides. And we have to come up with ways in which we bridge those gaps, so that people don’t demonize other people; so that people understand, on both sides, that there are people trying to just do the best that they can.
We’re not at a stage yet where I can honestly say that if you’re a person of color, you should not be concerned about any interaction that you have with the police — in the same way that I can’t say to a police officer, “You shouldn’t worry about what community you are being asked to operate in.”
