    You guys see that clip of CNN's entourage visiting a South Carolina store selling confederate merchandise? The operator looks like a complete stand in fake with false tats on his forearms.. He looks like he has the ability to play other colorful characters as well. This tragedy is awful but at least be honest in the journalism and not trying to profit with false pretenses...

    Would Hispanic man Jorge Mesa be able to drive home the same day after shooting a black guy without arrest or trial?

    So much remaining froth and jimmies even when Zimmerman got off...

    I think either way right wing conservatives win. Zimmerman is very Jewish sounding anyways.

    Some threads in the D&D just make you wish an asteroid would come along and denude all human life from the Earth.

    Why? You do know the "black church" is a real thing, right? This thread was started because there was a massacre at one.

    A lot of things are real things, doesn't make it right. The idea of a "black church" should be about as offensive as the idea of a "white drinking fountain". Specifying a race in relation to an object, location, or organization is just the kind of thinking the world could do without.

    A person would be made to feel ashamed to walk around espousing the virtues of "white colleges" or "white churches" yet for some reason that's not the case when it's a "black college" or "black church". Even worse, people don't seem to understand that it's the same thing.

    Your ignorance of history is breathtaking.

    What does history have to do with what I said? Care to actually remark on the comment you quoted?

    oh wait, it's really the FBI's fault, 100% of people affected by racially motivated hate crimes are human beings. categorizing the crimes by race is just perpetuating racism. once they stop, everything will be alright!

    See there are no hate crimes--if the FBI doesn't track hate crimes!

    Dig deep. Think hard. What historical forces might have led to a system of colleges or churches specifically labeled "black", while there is not an equivalent system of colleges or churches labeled "white"?

    Think deep, think hard. Should we be following segregationist policies today or should we let that die with the past? Holding on to symbols of hate is counter productive.

    I wonder if you seriously believe the stuff you write or if you are just having a laugh. I would think the later but to be honest, you just don't seem smart enough to play that game.

    There is only 1 reason why this is an issue now:

    Diversion


    It takes the attention away from the crapola going on in Washington and is an attempt to focus it on "those evil conservatives". While Obama is the worst thing since Carter, this is nothing but smoke and mirrors, distracting Americans from real issues.

    we're just a few moments away from the first "this was a false flag operation" post.

    implying a cold-blooded racial mass murder isn't a real issue. this thread cannot get more absurd.

    I'll let the people who have suffered the devastating consequences of that centuries long, systemic, and state sanctioned hate decide for themselves whether maintaining the survival structures they developed as a response is counterproductive.

    But that's just me.
