Zimmerman death threats: Misdirected energy.

For a lot of them it's just plain fun, like rioting and drinking. For others, the stupid ones, it's a mission... gonna right the wrongs. The mean ones want something to be angry about. Then there are the real snakes, like Sharpton, Jackson, Obama and others who stir it and use it as a means to power.

 

Is this black folks you are talking about, I just figured that was who you were talking about since you said, "they".

 

Mainly, yes. The small percentage of whites involved are generally in the "stupid" category, with a smattering of white politicians in the "snake" category. But basically yes, the hullabaloo is essentially a black thing. Problem?

 

How many black folks do you know that have done this?

 

We know Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have, and are still doing it. Then there was the New Black Panther idiots. And wasn't there Spike Lee and few others ? All trying to cash in.

 

So I guess that would be two people out of how many?

A group 99% of black folks in this country don't have an idea of who they are.

You tell me. I asked the question how many do you know and you haven't named one yet.

 

I'd argue that it's not so much that you don't discuss black-on-black crime, but that you don't discuss any crime, with small exceptions like these: more or less always because of partisan political reasons. And it takes two to tango.

The reason the Zimmerman killing has generated so much controversy (and 64,000 posts on this forum alone), is because there was a sort of media spiral. There were the initiators of the debate in the media (who want ratings, naturally), then both sides came to the conclusion that the other is racist.

Of course, it can't stop there. Your country never really settled the race issue, I guess that's a casualty of war. Racism has become the ultimate trump card. Anyone who holds racist beliefs naturally must be taken outside, soundly flogged, and have himself and his descendants thrown into slavery. The vitriol caused by accusations of racism and accusations of racism in response far exceed the harm caused by actual racism.

You need to call a truce. Calling someone a racist is now cause to be called a racist yourself. It's a cycle that never ends. An eye for an eye and the whole world's blind - that sort of thing.

 

I'm sorry, but I don't share your decidedly outsider's perspective on my country. You can't open a newspaper or turn on the evening news without seeing some crime-related story--and at the top of the newscast. We have a saying in the news business here: "If it bleeds, it leads." We discuss ALL KINDS of crime... because people are drawn to the shocking and the controversial. We discuss all kinds of crime except... for the grand prize can you tell me? Black-on-black, you guessed right. And discussing black-on-black crime gets one labeled something... starts with a 'r.' Can you guess what it is? Oh, wait you already did... down below.

Again, I'm sorry but I must respectfully disagree. The reason is simple, and it is why the media insisted on presenting the brown-skinned Zimmerman as "white": Because it advances the narrative--or the poetic truth as Dr. Shelby Steele called it in his blistering Wall Street Journal editorial on the decline of the civil rights establishment. It is why "black leaders" tolerate black-on-black crime but launch a full-scale assault if a white guy so much as bumps into a black guy on the subway. The civil rights establishment is deeply invested in white racism and they are very interested in perpetuating the status quo, for it is their life blood.

Interestingly, the race card is pretty worn and tattered any more. No longer the tactical nuke, it's more of that fizzled cold fusion reaction they got for 7 seconds in Utah. It is not the trump that it once was. You are no doubt familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf? These people who see racism behind every tree are taken a lot less seriously than they once were, and that pallid accusation has lost much of its lustre. Is there racism? Of course there is. Is it worse in America? I don't know... but I have been living in China for almost the last two years and I can tell you there is no love lost between my host country and say, the Japanese. I think racism is an unfortunate artifact of human existence. Of course, at one time it served a useful purpose... more on that later as I may start drifting off topic here, but...

Nah, I think we just need to pop some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

 

I named at least 3, not counting the New Black Panthers. What's the matter can't you count ?

 

I didn't know you knew Rev. Sharpton and Jackson personally. You even know some of the NBPP members.

 

No I don't any of them personally. What would that have to do with what I said ?

 

I listen to you experts talk about black folks that do this and black folks that do that, then when I ask how many of them do you know the answer is 0. When ask when have you personally had a black person do this to you or a black person do that to you the answer remains the same, so since you have never experienced anything with a black person how in the hell did you become an expert on the problems of black folks.

 

Anybody can be an expert on ANY folks, no matter what their color. What makes Blacks so different ? That they had better opportunities to advance themselves than Whites, due to affirmative action ? Yeah, that's a difference, I guess. And I have known many Black folks. I even had a Black roommate back in my college days. And right now, I Iive in a very integrated apartment complex, and have lots of Black neighbors. Yeah, so what ?
So what are these "problems of Black folks" that you speak of ? Having to choose which college to go to ? (after being accepted by affirmative action). Choosing which job to take, after being accepted by affirmative action ? Those "problems" you mean ? Hell, young, Black males can even go out and commit crimes without being arrested (like Trayvon Martin in the M-DSPD stolen jewelry coverup). When Whites were caught doing the same thing, they've been arrested and jailed. Sounds like THEY'RE the ones with the "problems".

 

I think we need to define 'black folks' and 'white folks' when discussing emotionally charged issues like the Z/M trial. It is really more of a cultural issue in that case. One side sees M as a typical, wannabe gangsta embracing the black 'chip-on-the-shoulder' culture promulgated and supported by the media.

The other side sees Z as a fat, doughy white scared of his own shadow and puffed-up by his gun and wannabe bad-a$$ cop image culture.

Let us not be reduced to using such a broad brush to paint all whites and all blacks as belonging to the those cultures. There are plenty of honest, hard-working folks of all ethnic origins capable of living and working together without regard to racial stereotypes.

 

If you believe that bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you are confused or you think I am. White women have benefitted more from AA than black folks could ever hope to.

I thought you said we didn't go to college.

I find that hard to believe.

You tell me, you are the one who keeps talking about what black folks need to do.

Did you black roommate go to college because of AA?

If that is the case, then why do black folks have the highest unemployment rate in America if we are just given jobs through AA.

Is that why black men have the highest incarceration rate in America because somebody forgot to tell the Judicial System not to lock them up.

I really don't even need to comment on any of this crap, it speaks for itself.

 

Nah! I just don't want to hear Blacks whining about what "problems" they have, that Whites don't, when they are being given special opportunities AT THE EXPENSE OF Whites. And why do they have high unemployment when they can get AA ? Maybe because 1. many are too lazy to go out and get a job and 2. if/whenever they DO get hired somewhere, they manage to get fired the first week.

 

Are you serious? Please tell me one advantage black folks in America have over white folks in America. One.

Could it be because the white women are getting them instead.

You must have learned that up on the compound.

 

You've got to be kidding. I've already mentioned a BUNCH of them

Advantages of Blacks over Whites >>>

1. In affirmative action (and don't give me that women only BS line), they get jobs ahead of Whites.

2. In affirmative action, they get promotions ahead of Whites.

3. In affirmative action, they get college admissions ahead of Whites.

4. In affirmative action, they get graduate school assistantships ahead of Whites.

5. They get excused from criminal accountability (as in the Trayvon Martin stolen jewelry coverup case)

6. They get college courses watered down for them to get them to pass.. That's enough for now.

NO, it couldn't be, as proven by govt offices loaded with Black guys working in them. Nice try though. You may want to put that white women line away now. Overused and pretty stupid.

 

What silly people!! Have they learned nothing. They shouldn't just threaten the guy and then kill him. They should follow him, stalk him, and harass him. Then if he makes any move to defend himself they can legally kill him!! So stupid of them....

 

I know it hurts, because it blows your racist theory out the water. White women have benefitted and still benefit more from it than any black person.

LOL, are you freakin serious.

Now comes the fun part, show us the proof that any of the above is true.

Yet black males have the highest incarceration rate in the country.

Prove it.

Its also loaded with women and white men.

 

I really shouldn't even be responding to you because your posts are so FALSE, and so ludicrous. You're really going to cling to this dumbbell women benefitting more line, huh ? I guess you don't realize how stupid you sound. Oh well, not my problem.

Not only am I serious but so was the US Supreme Court when they ruled that the Balck New Haven firefighters could not get promotions ahead of Whites just because they were Black. Helps if you watch the REAL news on TV not just your spoon-fed MSNBC propaganda.

EARTH TO SUPERBOY: You just classified yourself as a Political Forum know-nothing. Everybody knows AA has been giving racial preference to Blacks in college admissions, including the US Supreme Court who recently ruled against it. As for the graduate school assistantships, I don't have to go looking for proof to know about that. I was denied one because of not being Black, and it changed my whole life, ruining my ability to continue in my chosen profession. Maybe you don't know about it. I do.

And if they weren't being given special treatment and excused from their crimes, just think of how much even higher still the black incarceration rate would be. Pheeeeeeeww!!!

Again, I don't have to go get research to know about watered down courses for Blacks. I think back to my Meteorology course (given by a Black teacher) and I recall how astounded I was, at how a bunch of Black kids had trouble with even the watered down parts. They were so dumb they couldn't even pass an OPEN BOOK TEST. "Open book test" ? Pheeeeew. HA HA HA. In the earlier years of my education, when my classrooms were all White & Asian, there was no such thing as the absurdity of an open book test. This was an invention designed to prevent massive scale failures of Black students who were clueless.

FALSE! You can go to the Workforce office in Tampa, Florida, and look around. There are some women working there but no more than the men. But White men ? I think I saw 2 (out of about 50 employees) Go look for yourself.

 

Lets check out the real dumbbell in this conversation:

That pretty much shoots your weak ass arguement out the water.

Yep and for every New Haven I can show you 50 cases of were unqualified whites were given jobs over qualified blacks.

SUPERBOY, I knew that racist, redneck would come out.

Right and what is the % of blacks in college admissions as compared to the admission of whites?

There is that weak ass argument. How do you know that the black receiptent wasn't more qualified than you were. Oh thats right because you are white you had to be more qualified.

Right, but you commit 70% of the crime in America and only make up 34% of those incarcerated. So yea PHeeeeewwwwww.

[uquote] Again, I don't have to go get research to know about watered down courses for Blacks.[/quote]

That means you don't have (*)(*)(*)(*).

If you were so smart how did you end up with a black teacher and in a water down course?

Yep that is one of the oldest racist jokes in the book. Come up with something new.

Where was that, on the farm.

You meant when they were all white, right.

Funny, when I was in college I don't recall taking any open book test. I guess I didn't take the waterdown course either.

Right, but you were in these same courses so what does that say about you.

Tell you what come to the CDC in Atlanta and I will give you the guided tour.

 

So, you're saying the blacks in Chicago are ethnically cleansing themselves? (The OP states that most blacks are being killed by other blacks, which is well-known fact AFAIK)

I'm sorry, that makes no sense as stated, could you elaborate?

I think most people with a sense of normal human decency are sort of overcome by the Zimmerman thing. A boy is chased down and killed while begging for his life as heard by several witnesses and his killer is exonerated on a trumped up story that my children wouldn't believe. It offends our sense of justice and civilization, if we have any.

 

I swear, its been a month since the verdict and I have never felt so at peace for a position I took defending George Zimmerman. Sharpton is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the AA community, way worse than slavery, because lets be real, its way better to be in America than it is in Africa, where you would be hunting for your food, I dont care who wants to argue that, its true.

George Zimmerman is a modern day Jesus story sans the actual crucifying via cross.

I actually read about the Tawana Brawley story for the first time today, and I cant even imagine that really happened. Anyways, victory in this case, is so effing sweet.
