The Shooting of Michael Brown

[AgeofKnowledge]

They don't have to. The Salt Lake case compares and contrasts nicely with the Michael Brown case.

If you don't like it, you may opt out of the discussion altogether or simply ignore posts that aren't within your comfort zone.

Well this is thread about michael brown fee free to make a new one about the salt lake city shooting.

Nah, the thread is clearly labelled "The Shooting of Michael Brown".

So you are just making things up.

YOU don't get to set the rules. YOU, who foment dissent and hatred with every post you make. If a moderator deems a post inappropriate THEY will decide. Now, how about you tell us if the black cop was racist for shooting the unarmed white kid?

And what percent of the black persons in churches not only think the N word, but use it on a regular, daily basis? What did TM call Zimmerman shortly before TM died, TM when talking with his chubby girl friend about Zimmerman?

What this shows here is an ignorance of the difference between white culture and black culture in America. And refusal to acknowledge that with each race, there is a different culture, is a gross miscalculation and misunderstanding of the country we live in.

The two races use the word differently. But some would argue that either use, endearing or derogatory, is still not okay.

But at any rate, what you're talking about is context. And I submit that the context in which blacks use it, is more ambiguous than the way whites use it.

Some blacks who do use the word use it more loosely and can have different meanings.

When whites use it, it's racist.

I'm aware of the double standard, and just because some people insanely think that it's unfair doesn't mean that double standard doesn't exist.

And the desire to break the double standard and say that if blacks and use it, then whites should be able is racist. I mean, who would WANT to use that word anyway?

The only other way is to stop saying it all together. But that's never going to happen. So I say just accept the double standard.

I think Mr. Atwood's question is not answered in full. He was not only talking about the N-word, also, he was asking of what TM actually did call Zimmermann before TM died. Far as I can recollect from media TM used the Cracker-word. Are we ready to accept that double standard as well?

Do you really think calling someone a "cracker" is just as hurtful as calling someone a "nigger"?

Honestly. I can ask any white person if they were deeply hurt by reminding them about how their white forebearers owned land and people, and I promise you no offense will be taken.

Don't kid yourself, cracker.

TM was on the phone to his girlfriend, who on the stand ended up being the best witness for the defense, when he told her he was being followed by a "crappy-ass cracker". Which the girlfriend testified was not racist. She also said that, "nigga", is not racist either.
That being said, Treyvon Martin has not a thing to do with this case. Nor are the events at all similar in nature.
So why on earth would they be introduced into this discussion?

All I know is there is a sick, twisted OP in Australia sitting back and having a grand old time watching Christian brothers and sisters insult each other. Meanwhile he lives in an almost completely homogenous country, yet still lobs racial grenades and steps back to enjoy the carnage he created.

I don't know why you're asking me. I didn't bring it up. I was just responding to someone else who did.

See. My point exactly. I wasn't even directing my use of the N-word towards someone and it raised eyebrows.

Now, the cracker thing? I was being young in cheek.

No I was not and I'm not a Republican.

Voting for Hilary next election?

Interesting choice.

Right...back at ya!

Please provide a link to the other thread. I have no idea if it's racist or not. I've certainly witnessed a lot of angry old white men in this thread though.

Please stop calling me names. It's not very brave or Christian of you.

So this is happening. The boy's race wasn't stated, so maybe Ferguson police aren't racist. They're just cruel and violent. Ferguson Police Officer Justin Cosma Hog-Tied And Injured A Young Child, Lawsuit Alleges

I wasn't asking you directly. That's why my question is a separate sentence addressing the query to whomever would like to respond. When it is particularly relevant to whomever, and I won't go back and find this, introduced Martin initially.
Let's all agree to dismantle that persons intent in introducing Martin and stop paying it attention.
Let's keep this on topic and thwart the derail.

Especially as it appears there is an intention to manufacture strife so as to incite Christians to argue with one another regarding racial pejoratives.

Satan has agents on the net too. If we can battle and overcome the enemy off-line, let us then work together to defeat the enemy on-line.

Ferguson Officer Did Not Suffer Broken Eye Socket, Reports Claim as Darren Wilson Support Fund Exceeds $200k



By Benge Nsenduluka , CP Reporter
August 22, 2014|


Excerpt:

On Thursday, CNN producer Julian Cummings said a report claiming Wilson's eye socket was broken during his confrontation with Brown was false. This has not been publicly confirmed by police officials investigating the case.

"Reports that Ofc Darren Wilson had a bruised or fractured eye socket are false. #ferguson A source close to the investigation tells CNN," Cummings wrote on Twitter yesterday. "Wilson was taken to the hospital after the shooting. He had xrays which came back negative. He was treated for a swollen face. #ferguson."

Well, Mr. AntonHolden, I hope that message quoted is subliminal, and not one you're consciously aware of...just sayin...

 

[SonInMe]

What do you mean you were doing that in the forums about trayvon martin a lot of you republicans on here were including you too bad its hard to find the forum I wont waste my time copying your exact words.

I doubt any christian here celebrated the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. We had a huge problem with all the lies associated and promoted by the liberal media and political entities.

Its exactly the same with Brown and Wilson.

Funerals and very politically motivated sermons with grieving parents energizes the emotion based liberal crowds but the problem is, its not reality and in fact in their attempt to energize their base they have caused riots and more racial tensions in the area...

win win for liberal politicians and poverty pimps.

How does it feel to be duped, once again, so politicians can get votes and Sharpton and Jackson can make more money?

Maybe leftard is accurate but a little slanderous but lemmingists may not be.......watch out for that cliff!!

THIS is from post 114: It IS the racial breakdown of Australia.
Before you listen to another word from this hate-monger understand that his country is 92% White 7% Asian and less than 1% Aboriginal. There are so few blacks in Australia that they don't even register as any percentage at all. It is conceivable that this race- baiter HAS NEVER EVEN MET A BLACK PERSON.
