Black professor sucker punches white woman in face over debate about race

racial profiling was the topic from day one. that was the issue. rightly or wrongly that was the topic

 

just like how a white policeman arrested a black professor during discussion about race could certainly be racist?

 

All false. If there was a story, with as much information available as the Gates episode, it would have made news.

Black cop arrests white professor who is eventually taken from his home screaming about the racism of the cop. Neighbors gather around and hear the exact words of the exchange. Local PD investigates and supports actions of officer. White professor says cop was clearly out to get him in follow-up interview, saying local black cops are always looking to shame a well-to-do white person in their district.

That would have been newsworthy and incited some debate.

But if you have a 3-line story with no real details or knowledge of a situation. person A punches person B and they have different skin color and allegedly debated "race," there's nothing to go on. There's just a pure act of violence and we all condemn it. (shrug). Again, that leaves us with the only debate topic being the point of starting the thread.

The only answer provided so far, between the lines, is: "to show you liberals what hypocrits you are about race!11!!11!"

And the answer is "huh? how does this story show that? How does it show anything other than this one professor is an A-hole?"

 

Racial profiling was completely irrelevant to that case. If you are gonna say there is nothing to discuss in this thread, you should think the same about the Gates one.

 

Arresting someone is perfectly fine and within the law. He was resisting arrest. Assault of a woman is a completely different subject.

 

false arrest and racial profiling are against the law

he was arrested because he was resisting arrest? proof on that?

 

What was there to discuss in the gates thread about race? If you wanted to talk about police policies that would be one thing, but I don't see how anyone could condone changing the policy of when a cop responds to a break-in call and sees a broken door that he shouldn't require some proof of residence. That would just be ignorant. Nobody had a problem going down that racial road though.

Let me give you another gem from this board in race relations and the double standard. When the Oregon RB punched the Boise state DT, I did not find race as an issue at all in that episode. That was the way it should have been. Just a loose cannon who exploded. Nobody found the Oregon RB to be a racist, yet some in here try to turn that into the white being a racist. They were trying to say that The DT had to have said something racial to set him off.

That is injecting the race card where it doesn't belong and debating racism for no reason. That is common in here, yet when the shoe is on the other foot and there is actual racism involved, nobody can understand why we are talking about it. That in and of itself is a form of racism.

 

Explain to me how he was racially profiled?

I would love to hear that

 

as long as you first provide evidence that Gates was arrested for resisting arrest

 

you might not think it was racial profiling, but that was the issue in that thread, just because rhino17 thinks it not, does not mean it is not

 

I don't need to. He talked **** to the cop and was arrested, pretty simple really. I'm not going to look up stuff for someone that is just going to ignore it.

 

This is a funny post. You respond by saying you did not put words in his mouth by putting words in his mouth. He did not put a smiley face. He put the expressionless rolleyes. Much different than the smiley face in the context of this debate.

 

Why are you so quick to dismiss any racism in the Gates and Oregon/Boise St. incidents and then turn around and claim that the assault in the OP is clearly racist?

 

So there is an issue being discussed in this thread. If pgabriel doesn't think there is does not mean there is not.

 

what issue?

 

The issue that a black guy can punch a white woman over a race dispute and people here do not think it is an issue.

In fact, people have posted that black racism against white people is insignificant and that the only racism worth noting is against black people.

Someone derailed this into the Gates situation a few pages ago, but that is what we were discussing.

 

so he wasn't resisting arrest

 

I would like you to respond to this part of the post that you left out, "If the cop had arrested a white professor, nobody would care. If it would have been a preacher, an abortion doctor, or a soldier again nobody would care. You could say that about any race debate and it would be true. You only bring it up when the debate doesn't fit your agenda. You are one of the main ones to cry racism on almost any topic, odd that when it is a black person you see racism as no big deal and unworthy of discussion, when you try to inject the race card in almost every subject." I am really interested in your response to this seeing as your are pretty much the leader of the play the race card at all cost group.

 

I have specific facts to back it up so it is speculation but yes I do suspect that very thing has happened before. Consider that Officer Crowly wasn't reprimanded for his actions. That tells me that such incidents wasn't considered unprecedented and is tacitly tolerated by the police.

Again not saying its right and as I stated repeatedly in the threads on the Dr. Gates incident I think Officer Crowly overreacted, as did Dr. Gates, but I don't think this was a completely unique situation.

[edit] D'Oh! I meant to say "I don't have specific facts to back it up.[/edit]

 

If you sucker punch a white woman during a discussion about race, you might be a racist.
