NBC Legal Analyst: Ambiguous Words Like "Charging" Are Racist

LISA BLOOM, NBC LEGAL ANALYST: Now, this issue about charging, which I find to be a racially-tinged offensive word in and of itself, but I would have asked him, what exactly does that mean? Because at one point he says Mike Brown took a step forward. Another time he says, he took a hop, as he was about to run and then he began running. So running is inconsistent with one step forward. So which is it, Mr. Wilson? I mean, you really have to get to the bottom of it. You can't let an ambiguous word like 'charged' get out there to the grand jury without analyzing it without cross-examining it and that just didn't happen.

The word “charged” was used in a witness statement, and that witness was black.

What would the idiot Lisa Bloom have to say about that?

What about other racist terms such as ‘tripping’, ‘boarding’, ‘slashing’, ‘high-sticking’, etc.? Hockey refs send white guys to the penalty box 99% of the time.

In my city we had a dumb ass city councilman, Amish of course, who became irate when somebody used the word “spearheaded” in a sentence. Datz racizz.

I believe that word was used by one or more of the black witnesses, therefore it is impossible it’s racist.

You know, when somebody, especially a “journalist”, comes out with something this asinine they should just be immediately fired.

Wasn’t the analogy to a charging football player used by one of the BLACK witnesses?

Yes, the DA said that those were the words of one of the African American witnesses.

The convenience store didn’t take Diner’s Club, so Brown had to steal his cigarillos?

The Eagles have a song about people like Lisa Bloom:

“We got the bubble headed. Bleached blonde. Comes on at five”

So, the grand jury didn’t charge the officer because Michael Brown charged the officer - and only ONE usage of the word “charged” is racist? LOL

Look on the bright side. Obama is solving the problem of national defense, by making the US a country not worth defending.

In the legal context, 'charging' means 'loading onto' or 'burdening' a suspect with accusations of having violated the law.

[Middle English chargen, to load, from Old French chargier, from Late Latin carricare, from Latin carrus, Gallic type of wagon, of Celtic origin; see kers- in Indo-European roots.]

Therefore (according to this NBC fool), ‘charging’ a minority person with anything also implies that the person is being treated as a beast of burden. Oh, the racist horror!
