#BLMKidnapping - 4 black trash torture a mentally disabled young white male; yell racial slurs

gee, I don't know how anyone would read racial baiting from the title...

 

Except the kidnapping was in no way connected #BLM so it isn't actually very accurate.

 

If being associated with black lives matter didn't become toxic after 5 dallas cops were shot at their event it never will. I thought that would be a sea change but it wasn't. Four "kids making bad decisions" won't phase their r****ded defenders at all.

 

And now the top trending topic on Twitter is #UnexpectedTurnOns. Run n' get your beliefs from Twitter!

 

Both disingenuous and offensive... you know, we all know why you you used the BLM hashtag. You can continue to hide behind the "trending topic" guise but that only adds "cowardly" to disingenuous and offensive as my opinion of you.

 

I can tell you as a black person nothing seeds more hatred and bitterness than the GOPs southern strategy of the past few decades. Then to add to that when people continue to say things like "If the roles were reversed there would be riots!"

 

Even if BLM was guilty of as much as ISIS it doesn't make it accurate to attribute it these kidnappers. It wouldn't be accurate to say #ISISkidnappers...

So whether or not you are accurate in your belief about #BLM doesn't make it accurate to attach it to the 4 people who did this.

The fact that it was trending only shows how quickly inaccuracies can spread. It doesn't help make it more accurate.

 

OP, what you did was wrong. I wanna defend, but I can't

 

The only thing I can think of that would seed more hatred and bitterness than someone saying that is when it is proved over and over that it is true. With each riot there is less sympathy.

 

Oh right? You mean when a white kid shot up a black church, remember all the riots?

Or when a black dude who had a mental disability was tortured in custody (officer used a taser on his balls...) remember the riots?

What about the three white kids that sexually assaulted a black mental disability kid with a coat hanger. I remember all the riots then too...

It's telling that it's so rare for riots to NOT happen when something like this happens that you have to cherry pick examples because there have been so many violent "protests" the last several years.

 

There are incidents every single day in pretty much any city with black people where they are discriminated against and treated unlawfully or unfairly. There are very rarely riots over it. The riots are reported on because it is a rare thing not because it is a common thing.

That's how news work, they report on the extraordinary and unusual.

That being said, we should all understand that riots don't happen in a vacuum. There is a reason groups of people feel so frustrated that they riot. Nothing excuses rioting, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a reason that the level of frustration rises to that level.

 

There are incidents every single day in pretty much any city with people where all types of people are discriminated against and treated unlawfully or unfairly....but we know the ONLY scenario that EVER leads to riots.

 

What's funny is that you think these are the only examples.

So wait, the argument was that if the roles were reversed then there would be riots. Right? So, I pull up examples within 5 minutes of your post and show there hasn't been riots hell there has barely been coverage...and your response is that? To think that "If the roles were reversed there would be riots" is pretty damn racist. You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Then your addition to the comment of "it just adds less empathy" doesn't help.

Because once again, because of Ferguson riots that means you have LESS empathy for when a black person is mistreated in New York or something?
