You have no idea what you're talking about, Grasshopper. Dude hates Whitey and I'm telling him there's no place in God's Kingdom for hatred. Show where I've proclaimed hatred on anyone. Go ahead! You can't do it because it doesn't exist. You're peeing into a very strong wind with that one. Naive doesn't even begin to describe you. Let's see if you're man enough to apologize.

Actually it makes perfect sense. Ever since the Janet Jackson boobie incident, any halftime shows are pre-approved by the NFL so they knew she was going to do this. That means the NFL condoned it. So unless you're willing to boycott NFL, your complaints are invalid.. oh and I don't hate white people because I would have to hate myself and I don't. I just hate racism. I've even unfriended a lot of family for being racist. There are family who I don't even welcome in my house. Family or not, if you're racist then I don't want you in my presence

Actually, the police officers aren't walking on the job. This is voluntary work done outside of their normal police duties. In other words, it's optional. Thus, both Beyonce and the officers are exercising their civil liberties. She exercised her right to free speech with her performance at the Superbowl. They're exercising their right of non-participation in an event.
While it's easy to complain about these officers, I can totally empathize. As a teacher, I have to deal with the flack that every person has with teachers, the public school system, and education in general. People often aren't interested in me as an individual, they see me as a representative of something they dislike and so they feel free to treat me like "the man" (so to speak). I can imagine that there are a lot of police that are experiencing the backlash of all the bad publicity. For every example of profiling and bad policing there are lots of examples of GOOD policing that never get any press. They are in a job that involves significant public service. Additionally, there is the possibility of death on the job. I mean, my job can be stressful, but I never fear that I'll die on the job. So, if the Tampa police feel like Beyonce didn't adequately represent them and their perspective, it's logical that they'd opt out of participating in her concert. It doesn't make them slackers, or badly behaved, or even imply that they have a bad attitude. It's REASONED behavior to not waste your time doing something that doesn't support your values.

Well, unfortunately due to the "entertainment" aspect of her performance, I'm not sure it's all entirely clear. *I* have zero problem with her performance. I saw it as I watched the Superbowl with my brothers and wasn't particularly affected by it. (I wasn't affected by Coldplay either....but I love me some Bruno Mars). I think it's a little silly that people would get all bent about ANY performance at the Superbowl. After all, artists are allowed to embrace, display, and spread socio-political ideas. There's a history of musicians tackling various issues via music. There are many comics who use the stage as a means of promoting their values. Certainly, lots of Hollywood uses film as a means of promoting their values. I don't get why suddenly Beyonce is considered uppity and out-of-turn for doing the same thing. This is what artists do.
Of course, the flip side of this is, when you use your platform to present your perspective, you need to be prepared for the consequences. Just consider Sinead O'Conner and how she ripped up JPII's picture after singing on SNL umpteen years ago. She took a lot of flak for that...and she was willing to take it. I don't imagine that Beyonce is innocently batting her eyes and saying, "But I was just doing a little tribute to the Black Panthers." I'm sure she was prepared for the criticism.
I understand what you mean when you say it's not about "all policemen." Unfortunately, the effects of the bad press don't render themselves to people individualizing. You and I both know that there are lots of people who are prejudiced against cops. Maybe they have a rationale for it, but any kind of globalization that flattens out the humanity of people in favor of a stereotype is just wrong. Any of us could count up our injuries and decide that this group or that group is evil in light of our hurts. Part of being Christian is keeping no record of wrongs. We can't dehumanize ourselves by denying the humanity of others.
As a complete aside...there's a FABULOUS documentary about the Black Panther Party on PBS. It's called The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution. It's available to watch at pbs.org. I've included a link, but pbs tends to be localized, so it may/may not work.

I'm not threatened by anyone calling me racist because I'm not held hostage by politically correct thought police and their mind control, but when someone incorrectly calls me out then an apology is in order. But like I said, we were going to see if you were man enough to apologize, but I already knew the answer before you refused to do so. Grasshopper is indeed an appropriate name for you.

I have never seen a issue between races here on the forum until the race baiters roll in and try to provoke division based on racial issues ..the idea that some if not most, including the FBI and SPLC see the bpp as a racist group, is reason to call other believers on the forum "racist" ??? Come on! racism is never an excuse for racism ... The black panthers are nothing more than racist thugs.
That's actually a bit reductionistic. The original BPP worked with a variety of groups to address various social issues around poverty--white groups included (and not just "liberal" whites). They weren't "black supremists" or "antiwhite." Although they are known for a certain aura of militancy, they actually did a lot of grassroots work to address issues of poverty, lack of access to education, etc.

So ..the reason the cops are all upsets and millions of other Americans that actually believe and understand the true history of this group, is because they just don't know how great they really was? Look sell that nonsense to somebody that wants to believe it, don't try to sell it to me or the police unions in this country .... Folks will believe anything they want ..that's how the Nazis took power in Germany
