‘Justice for Trayvon’: Alabama Man in Critical Condition After Mob Beating

[Grayma]

You dont ever hear deaf people violently attack folks b/c they angry..

There is a CODA who posts here from time to time whose Deaf dad is in jail for trying to decapitate his girlfriend (he also tried to kill his wife years before).

I had a friend who was a single mom because when she got pregnant her Deaf husband was so angry he beat her, punching her in the stomach repeatedly because he didn't want her to have his baby. She told me he had issues related to his deafness.

I know there are other stories of abuse in the Deaf community.

Can we make the same generalizations about Deaf men which you just did about Blacks based on these stories? No, we can't.

Well, don't believe it ever will be, CC...as long as the Black community follows Sharpton and Jackson, among others....and the Parent's teachings to their children.

Oh? What do Black parents teach their children? Tell us all about that.

You have a problem with peaceful protest of injustice?

 

[Reba]

I must admit, Sharpton's support of Tawana Brawley's accusations were an injustice--to the police officers who were falsely accused.

Or maybe it was Sharpton's support of the rape allegations against the Duke lacrosse team members? Yes, that was an injustice against the young college men.

It doesn't help the credibility of any case to have Sharpton involved in it.

LA riots were not peaceful. WTF happened? Their children were not taught to stay cool.

SOME people see it that way. Some don't. Twenty years ago is a long time to have to go back to find something wrong.

The beating that caused the riots wasn't peaceful either. And that beating was by white cops.

You saying that Black parents don't teach their kids to be cool?

Duke happened six years ago. Apparently, Sharpton was a slow learner.

Sharpton has yet to apologize to those that he wronged.

For those who don't remember:

"...Sharpton and Brawley's lawyers asserted "on 33 separate occasions" that a local prosecutor named Steven Pagones "had kidnapped, abused and raped" Brawley. There was no evidence, and Pagones was soon cleared. Sharpton then accused a local police cult with ties to the Irish Republican Army of perpetrating the alleged assault. The case fizzled when a security guard for Brawley's lawyers testified that the lawyers and Sharpton knew Brawley was lying. A grand jury investigation concluded in late 1988 that Brawley "was not the victim of forcible sexual assault" and that the whole thing was a hoax. The report specifically exonerated Pagones, and in 1998 Pagones won a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton, Brawley, and Brawley's lawyers. Sharpton was ordered to pay Pagones $65,000. Johnnie Cochran and other Sharpton benefactors subsidized the payment...."

Driving the wrong way on the highway, putting hundreds of lives in danger, fleeing the police then resisting all while high on crack wasn't exactly peaceful either.

Maybe that is what you consider "cool".

Have you seen riots caused by white kids when a white person was beaten or killed by a black person or black people? No, because white kids are taught to behave.

Correction: The beating that caused the riots... WRONG! The black people caused the riots. If MLK was still alive, he wouldn't approve it.

Two were convicted and sentenced to federal prison.

What about Reginald Denny? That beating wasn't peaceful either.

Trite but true: Two wrongs don't make a right.

No need to riot. The Blacks are always arrested and charged, and receive prison time.

Injustice caused the riots. Centuries of it.

Which proves that most black people don't approve of riots, and don't teach their children to be violent. The violent ones do get more press.

No, 2 wrongs don't make a right. And 4 people went to prison for the attack on Denny, plus another one for shooting out his gas tank. Justice served.

Down thru the ages many groups have been treated unjustly but they didn't always react with violence, especially violence against those who didn't even commit the injustice. So, we can't say that injustice, by itself, causes riots. Nor, can we say that injustice itself justifies a violent reaction.

Have you watched the tapes? No resisting going on. Just a severe beating.

No, getting fed up with centuries of injustice causes riots. White people don't riot because they don't get fed up with injustice...it doesn't happen to them as a group. But when they become victims because they have been participating in the injustice, they cry and complain and blame those nasty Blacks.

Correct.

This is an example of doing the right thing:

"BOBBY GREEN
Green was one of the riot's greatest heroes. The black truck driver was watching the violence unfold on television at his Los Angeles home when he saw Denny being attacked and quickly headed to the scene. He helped push Denny back into his truck's cab and then drove him to the hospital, saving his life. Later, despite threats and insults from the community, he went on to testify against Denny's attackers. He and his family have since moved to a suburb east of Los Angeles and he did not respond to messages for comment. On the 10th anniversary of the riot, he told the Los Angeles Times: "I can tell my kids that color is on the outside, not the inside. To me, I turned justice around and showed them that all black people ain't the same as you think."

What about the injustices of blacks upon blacks?
After all it was black Africians who sold their black brother and sisters into slavery to the ship captains. This has been going on for centuries in Africa.

I said, "down thru the ages." Think outside the USA, outside American history. There is more to history than just black and white Americans.

Not all black people are involved in violence and riots, and not all white people are the perpetrators of injustice.
