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.

Quite true.

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.

He has been and always will be the match that lights the TNT.
 
And what's equally sad and disappointing about Sharpton is that he is a commentator on MSNBC and got his own show for an hour to spew his mis/disinformed junk to the audience.

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

You have a problem with peaceful protest of injustice?

When it comes down to shooting up police cars, beating up other white people, destroying property, setting fires....yes I do!...And that's not a "peaceful protest"....

And your prior quote "Zimmy's going to jail!"....you, as a lot of other blacks, already labeled Z guilty....

I'm sure a lot of black parents do not teach their children to be Racist....and hopefully, YOU, as a "single Mom to a deaf black adult"...taught your son not to be Racist.
 
Well, I don't think there is any doubt now

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."

I agree that not all black people are the same. Some white people or other races are sick, too. All I can say is that Bobby is very human. If I see an innocent black person getting beaten by white people, I would take him/her out of the way.
 
Get this. I, a white guy, was driving a black co-worker home and we were about to pulling an icehouse (hey, Houston is Hell hot in the summer!). In the parking lot we saw what was certainly a fender bender between a older black gentleman and a younger white guy. On private property it became a issue between the drivers. However, the older gentleman had to sit on a curb to write out all his information and the white guy and his passenger, another young white guy, were running their mouth 100mph and cussing all the way. Suddenly the white driver hauled off and kicked the older gentleman right under the chin. No need to tell me nor my co-worker what to do, we jumped in and tore that young guy to pieces and had the passenger back off (I'll admit other bystander, white and black, assisted). Then it became a police matter. With all the witnesses, the young guy had no chance and was hauled off to jail for assault. My point is, people, not race, are what they are. People are individualls and will act totally different in situations, regardless of their race, age, gender, where every part of the issue remains the same.

:laugh2::laugh2:
What's so funny to me, is the concerted effort to, "not be obvious" when it's as clear as day. I'd say about 99.9% of "new posters" would protest and be bothered by what they are reading. While this, "new poster" hasn't asked for clarification or denied anything. :hmm:

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".

so you've got no problem with officers "punishing" him however they see fit?

Scott Maxwell: In Trayvon Martin case, competing narratives about Martin, Zimmerman blur search for truth - Orlando Sentinel
I understand why Trayvon's family was screaming for justice — and why the Sharptons of the world were calling for independent eyes.

The state attorney in Seminole County has a checkered past. He has a proven track record of being wrong and refusing to admit his mistakes — refusing to even investigate them until science later proved him wrong.

Independent eyes were needed. And Gov. Rick Scott was right to call for them.

sounds familiar, no?
