Black Lives Matter is an honorable movement and is in no way racist

You just admitted you do in the post above

If someone said he gets nervous whenever black people are around, you'd throw a million labels onto him. But here you are, loudly claiming every cop is out to get you

 

Extremist much? I've glossed through your posts and suggest therapy to help with your antagonism. You're an extremely negative person.

To your question: I am nervous when certain black people are around me. I am nervous when certain white people are around me. I get nervous when IRS comes up on my caller ID. Pit Bulls make me nervous. I am nervous when cops pull me over. I am nervous at Doctors visits. I was nervous at my daughters wedding. These things are specific to me and my life experiences. I don't judge you based on yours, I'll ask that you extend me the same courtesy.

 

This is simplistic partisan rhetoric. I'm not sure but I expected a lot more substantive response.

Can you cite the personal act that has led to decades of redlining and reverse redlining? This is a well documented practice that damages minority household wealth and generational wealth in a manner not experienced by whites.

If only you had historical evidence somewhere that supported your ideas. A document written by slave holders contending that all men were created equal in a country where women did not have the right to vote for 150 years and minorities didn't have the right to vote for nearly 200 years because they fought like hell to get those rights. Gah, if only the words on paper matched reality but I guess you actually live in fantasy land.

Your post is akin to explaining that it's raining because drops of water are falling from the sky. I expected a lot more intelligent discussion from you than this nonsense.

Maybe we should define woe for you. Woe is me is a fairly accurate sentiment when people of a particular race face incredible rates of poverty, unemployment, police brutality, incarceration, lack of opportunities, employment discrimination, etc. What the hell woe do white people have? They're angry that the media dares discuss these things? Yeah, that's crazy terrible woe. Woe on white folks.

Turns out the chick in the OP is a Palin supporter.

 

First sentence of article

.

and besides why does that even matter?

 

Palin is currently not running for anything, so she would have to be a former Palin supporter and it matters to those of us who willingly acknowledge substantive information instead of always ignoring important information and dismissing points like you always seem to do.

 

That's pretty insecure of you.

Ah, yes, you're nervous around certain black people, certain white people. But with cops, it's EVERY TIME you get pulled over, you get nervous and gets ready to face a hostile situation. These were your own words, not mine.

You clearly have it out against all cops.

 

That still doesn't explain why it matters. Quit dodging the question.

 

I don't need to dodge your question I could simply ignore you.

 

I personally think it's smart to be nervous every time you get pulled over and have to deal with cops. It's a very serious situation and the wrong actions can have negative results. I think a lot of the really bad things that happen are a result of people not realizing the gravity of the salutation they are in when lawfully detained. You get pulled over and you treat that cop like an underling or a mall cop....*** *** games are likely what you have coming.

As a rule of thumb, one shouldn't act any differently when lawfully detained than they would act in a courtroom.

 

I was a cop. My father in law is a cop. My brother in law is a cop. Austin Police chief Art Acevedo is a great friend of mine. I played a cop in a major motion picture. I perform at police association fundraisers. Entertain me further, how do I have it out against all cops? Those are your words, not mine.

I'm going to make the same criticism about Black Lives Matter has I did about the Tea Party and Occupy. While a leaderless movement has a lot of appeal to radicals it can become a problem with pretty much anyone can speak for the movement. Especially with social media and the 24 hour news cycle this makes it easy for the most extreme and outrageous to define that movement while drowning out more substantive voices and distracting from the primary message and / or progress of the movement.

In the case of Black Lives Matter there is a lot to the issue and concern about mistreatment of black people from police is an issue that has persisted for a long time. The problem though is without any clear sense of organization and leadership the people who hijacked Bernie Sanders' stage and those burning and looting are free to claim the mantle of Black Lives Matter as much as anyone else.

REKT

 

With all due respect... That's like saying Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are the voice for all black people.

And what has voting democrat gotten poor and low income black folks besides broken families, shyt hole neighborhoods, abortion clinics, limited educational funding, and being used like cattle for the prison system and democrats are/were perfectly fine with giving more jail time for crack than powder cocaine... And now illegal immigrants are running black folks off from their neighborhoods and democrats aren't saying shyt about it.

Democrats just use black folks for their agendas which do not include black folks.

 

And Republicans pander to a racist base, so that's not even close to being better.

I don't agree that democratic policies are the cause of that either. It wasn't democrats and isn't democrats that are staunch defenders and encourage the war on drugs. That was Nixon and Reagan, republican presidents for instance. It's still republicans that fight back on the legalization of mar1juana...

This isn't a Democrats vs Republican thing, but it's pretty obvious why black people vote blue every single time.

 

LMAO!

 

Middle class cuts a pretty big swath with probably five different tiers depending upon the local cost of living, but there might not be a majority of any race that is white collar or business owners, the largest professions in this country are retail worker or truck driver. Irrespective this entire line of rhetoric started with GlenDice's attempting to blame black poverty on Democratic policies, without taking the time specify even a single one.
