Let me say that the girls were no angels either. They certainly didn’t deserve to die, but they were there looking to buy a gun so they could commit robberies.
Well, since I cited facts I guess I’m racist. I’ll wear that as a badge of honor, proudly.
Re: 42 - LOL.
“Oh stop” is a statement to please stop making ignorant comments.
Please read up on appeal to authority.
And then re-read (or initially read) what I posted.
I don’t claim to be an expert (and neither did Moynihan).
Making pejorative comments about an entire race of people is the problem. Some FReepers apparently expect those claims to go unchallenged. They will be challenged, as well as the intellectual laziness of (paraphrase) “I make a specific claim and it’s up to others to find the references and I used to make that claim”.
Come on, do better.
The problem is not with the black race, per se.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That’s exactly right! And I have not seen any post on this thread which alleges that it is! People looking for racial targets commonly put their own “spin” on someone else’s post so they have something to shoot at!
Re: 57 - LOL!
On this particular thread, Fury is the problem, hijacking the thread by hurling cahrges of racism.
Oh, how happy he must be to be getting so much attention.
So you want us to make the distinction like Chris Rock does in the video I posted above?
Tommy Sotomayor and other black youtubers admit it’s a problem race.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And it’s so obvious that they were and are right! But even so, there will ALWAYS be people who will gaze at an orange and insist that it isn’t orange!
I think I understand what you’re saying. Well, many posts on this thread do seem to imply that there is a fundamental problem with blacks as a race. I do NOT think these folks are racists! Instead I think they are trying to look at things honestly, but are missing the underlying economic problem.
It’s not race, it’s culture, and frankly a lot of white-skinned folks subscribe to that culture these days as well.
Assuming that your claim is accurate, so the ENTIRE race is a problem race.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Neither Lurker nor anyone else on this thread has made that claim, but if you like erecting straw men to knock down, have at it! You’re only embarrassing yourself to the amusement of most others on this thread!
> It’s not race, it’s culture… <
I agree. And a large part of that culture springs from poor and desperate economic conditions. As I have noted before, Trump tried to change this by bringing good factory jobs back to the cities.
I suppose inner-city blacks will never realize it. But Trump was the best friend they could have had in the White House.
More deflection.
Your laziness rises far and above any other example that could be found on this thread.
“looking to buy a gun?” Can we wonder what their last thoughts were?
(wow, isn’t this thrilling and so cool?)
A lot of it stems from years of white liberal politicians telling them ‘nothing is your fault, and we are the only ones keeping those evil Republicans from putting you back in chains, so you’d better vote for us!’
Malcolm X was right when he said the greatest enemy of black people is the white liberal.
Very well reasoned post that reasonable people will agree with. But there are some people on this thread who are locked into denial for purely racial reasons, and who will therefore find it objectionable. No big deal!
The USA is entered as the 129th most peaceful country on the planet.
(Was the planet, planned?)
African countries start at number 40.
And further, almost all blacks who are murdered, are murdered by other blacks. Over 90%. Most whites are murdered by blacks, too.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Shhhh! For heaven’s sake don’t be citing facts such as these, you’re destroying racist narratives!!
Sadly, you won’t engage and discuss the central point that the poster made which was there is not a race problem but a problem race.
You can do better and correct your ignorance. But only if you want to.
Good luck.
