    Can anybody name one of the 50 unarmed white men shot by police in 2015? How about the unarmed, young, deaf white man Daniel Kevin Harris shot by a black cop in Charlotte, NC a couple of weeks ago?

    That's a ridiculous response. Why don't you stop posting?

    He made up something that Mathloom did not say and used religious language in an obviously condescending and mocking tone. It was a personal attack and not one of substance. As texxx always says, once you've stooped to that level, you've lost the argument.

    Mathloom can be one of the more incendiary posters on the board (look at his interactions with ATW). But to use provocative religious language in an obviously condescending way and attribute it to Muhammad (and attach a menacing photo of Jafar from Aladdin) should be out of bounds.

    We're all posting on a basketball forum centered around a team whose best player is Muslim. Something tells me that Hakeem wouldn't be pleased to have the words of his faith twisted into a personal attack.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain that. To be honest, ever since I saw Christianity mocked, I didn't think posts mocking any religion would be off limits.

    Do you have any historical evidence there is a problem with unarmed white men being shot because they're white? Why do you believe there is some equivalency between the white and black victims of police brutality?

    I don't really understand the false equivalency brigade's complete ignorance of history. Do you know anything about American history? Jesus.

    Why would anyone know their names? Those aren't the lives that "matter"

    To be fair - you're a civilized person living in the civilized world.

    Makthloom, as his "plant the seeds of hate" facade was blown a long time ago, always shows the barbaric mentality that makes Islam incompatible with harmonious, modern day living when pushed to give up the PC front.

    Makthloom has been quoted, on multiple occasions, as wanting people to die and live in fear for their lives for drawing a cartoon with Mohammed in it.

    While he's just one fat guy on the internet, he represents the mainstream psychology that has Islam in a state of bloodshed, disarray and sexual deviancy in the 21st century.

    Muslims cry out for a double standard and pretend to be shocked when we see stories of them attacking westerners on a daily basis - this take no accountability mentality spurs hate at their very core and they refuse to make the compromises required to remove themselves from the stone age. It has nothing to do with the actual scriptures, which can be interpreted any way, by any one.

    It's an educated POV over an emotional one - and why I'm the Gloria Estefan of this forum. Indispensable -- and the beat of the night. While most prefer to sit on their ass and spend their time offended over issues they don't want to understand - I'm empowering change while doing the Conga.

    Cha cha cha.

    When it comes to the BLM morons, it's ALWAYS about race and they are the only ones out there pretending that it's a tragedy when a criminal gets shot by police. Without their nonsense, when a criminal attacks a cop and gets shot it's only local news. If that criminal happens to be black, the BLM morons make it national news and declare it an example of racism.

    bobby is either an extreme racist or just too dumb to understand what racism really even is. Given that in other, non-racial topics, he still demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding with what's going on in the world, I lean more towards him being too stupid to know what racism is. It's okay bobby, you are not racist, you just don't know any better.

    Sure, they are anti-cop enough to sort of give lip service to some instances where white criminals are involved, but that's secondary and incidental. Their real focus is on issues related to black criminals getting shot when they attack police.

    I would answer your empty, histrionic post but I see little point since your "posting style" if we can call that, is just to leave whenever anyone responds to you, after making some less-than-clever insult about someone's lack of sexual prowess. It's like a cartoon version of an 80's teen movie villain, except more metrosexual and millennial.

    Porque te vas, Ronny?

    So it doesn't matter because there's no history about it? And there is some equivalency isn't there? They were both unarmed and shot by police...so are all the blacks shot by cops always an act of racism and whites shot by cops is just their fault because they're not black and therefore buddy, buddy with the police? :confused:

    Doesn't the lack of protest of Hammond's death by #AllLivesMatter people match the lack of protest in other police shootings of criminals by those same people? The difference in reaction with a white criminal being shot while allegedly attacking the police is not coming from the anti-BLM group, but from BLM itself. There isn't a march/protest/riot in his town from BLM. They are out there chanting to fry the cops like bacon. Why not? If their concern is police brutality, isn't he just as sympathetic a victim as Michael Brown? Rational people understand that if you try to run over a cop with your car, he is going to shoot at you. That is fair game in my book. Video may or may not show that is what happened. I have seen cases where that is exactly what happened, and the cops were rightly not punished for shooting at the idiot trying to run them over, even though they managed to safely avoid being hit. Total misfire of an article by HuffPo (no surprise there).

    You see, there was a march for him but no one covered it. That's not BLM fault.

    If a protest/march goes peacefully then it is never covered. There are many BLM protests that go peacefully but they are never covered. Why is that? It seems some news organization are trying to paint a narrative about a group of people that some are ready to eat right up.
