Actions have consequences. Walk in the middle of the road (possibly in a drugged stupor), disregard an officer who says "get offa da road", grapple with an officer for his gun and you probably WILL get shot.
He WAS a thug because of the way he intimidated, assaulted, and stole from a shop keeper over a trivial purchase. He tried to intimidate the cop.
Whatever happened to "ban bullying"?
If black lives matter, why aren’t abortion murder mills being protested. Why wasn’t there more outcry when Gosnell was cutting up black babies and snapping their necks.
Get back to me when your hypocracy ends.
I’m losing my patience with this.
So, supporting only "good" Black victims won't solve all the problems of the universe. Check!
"All or nothing" fallacy / false dilemma!

White Privileged Guy
If accurate, that's entirely correct.
Neither will it dissipate black racial crap.
White privilege, white supremacy......this stuff is getting really old.
Time for the whitewash.
Wax on... wax off. Wax on... wax off.
Where to begin with the BS in this article?
“That belief exempts them from examining a system that privileges Whiteness over Blackness.”
- There is no such thing as white privilege, only functional cultures and dysfunctional ones. Blacks mistake the benefits earned by accomplishment for privilege. Purposely embracing a dysfunctional culture leads to poor outcomes, you have only yourselves to blame.
- There was NO CHOKEHOLD DEATH. The “choke” put on Eric Garner was applied for a few seconds and is NOT what killed him according to the M.E. The particular “choke” applied was also NOT banned. Please get your facts straight black people. Living in a fantasy world of victimhood is part of the dysfunctional culture mentioned above.
“Let’s be clear: It does not matter if Mike Brown smoked weed. His life mattered. It doesn’t matter if he listened to gangsta rap. His life mattered. It does not matter that he was suspected of stealing cigarillos. His life mattered.”
- It mattered up until he tried to murder a cop. Dysfunctional cultures dont accept that actions have consequences and therefore dont learn responsibility.
Bottom line, making all this fuss about a thug like Brown only validates the stereotypes many people have about blacks and reinforces their negative opinions.
All true. But it also matters that he punched and tried to wrestle a gun away from a police officer and then charged at him in a threatening manner. That's why he's dead.
“Unfortunately, there are those White people who consider themselves advocates for social justice who don’t recognize the grave injustice of Mike Brown’s death, yet cry over the killing of Eric Garner. And those White people don’t get. They don’t get that there is no separation. The extrajudicial killing of unarmed Black people is never acceptable and being a perfect victim should not be the price of the ticket.”
Black people dont get that:
- There IS a difference between the extrajudicial death of a violent thug in the process of attempting murder and the accidental death of a petty non-violent criminal.
- That the death of Brown was self defense and was PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE except to race crazed fanatics.
- The death of Brown was justice, NOT injustice.
- Brown’s death was brought about by his own actions, not his race. If Brown was white he would still be dead.
Race relations will never improve as long as these race agitators continue to blame whites for the criminal failings of the black culture.
Mike Brown’s life does NOT matter. How do I know that? Because his life obviously did not matter to himself, as he routinely (check his record) did things that put his life in jeopardy. If he didn’t care about his own life, I certainly don’t.
But I do value the lives of a businessman who was violently robbed, & a cop who was defending himself in the course of doing his job.
The lives of violent thugs don’t matter one whit to me, just as they don’t care about their victims. If I were king of this country I would execute the thugs in droves, & sleep well in knowing that there will be far fewer victims of their predatory acts.
To me, violent criminals are no better than ISIS, the Taleban, al-Qaeda, or Nazis - they are our sworn enemies. They all deserve the same swift, deadly response to their evil.
And, if you sympathize with our enemies, then you are our enemy, too. If you condone evil acts, then you are evil, too. The rioters, looters, & violent protesters have made that clear.
He is very mistaken. Black lives are devalued when “good” black people support “bad” black people who have harmed others of any kind.
A mother of any kind can be expected to still care when her bad child, seeking to harm others, is himself harmed. But for others to embrace him, a bad person, solely because they share his color, condemns all people of that shared color to stereotype, that they put race above honesty and character.
Other people cannot be blamed for stereotypes in such circumstances. “White privilege” is such a stereotype, but it is caused by the opposite problem. The perception by black people that the stereotype of bad behavior applied to them *does not* apply to white people.
They think this is unfair. But it isn’t. White people seldom have any belief in “racial solidarity”. They are first to condemn a white person who tries to harm others and is arrested or harmed himself. This is the real meaning of “white privilege”. White people are privileged precisely because they do not tolerate bad behavior by other white people.
Look at the destruction leveled on the black community because they do not discourage each other from trying to harm others. Not encouraging honesty and character gets black people killed. They kill each other. Non-black people kill black people who try to harm them. And yes, policemen, of all colors, will kill black people who attack them or try to harm or kill others.
Charity begins at home, but so does responsibility, honesty and character. And condemning those who don’t behave themselves.
Well gee, truth in propaganda for once.
It is not about a real wrong it is about destroying whites who are doing the lion share of paying taxes and living as productive citizens. Can not imagine why the democrats are starting to have a huge white problem.
Just realized this article is a classic example of “begging the question.”
If a person is killed by another acting in justified defense of self or others, then the dead dude isn’t a “victim.”
A logical argument would be for the author to show why all or most black guys killed by cops are indeed victims. But she simply assumes they are and develops her “argument” on that foundation.
The problem with her developing a logical argument as to how many are true victims is that it would probably blow a major hold in her position by demonstrating that the considerable majority of dead guys were quite properly shot.
“12% of black guys shot by cops were bad shoots” just isn’t a very good position for her.
To pick a random number. I have no idea the real percentage, and neither does anybody else. To a considerable extent because it is well known cops will defend each other even at the cost of the truth. And that many “witnesses” will lie to make the cops look bad.
