I don't care if it "has happened" to others. NOT at the rate of the last 2-3 years. And black cases are rarely EVER covered in the news. So the mere fact that we have at least 4 or 5 in recent memory hit national television - all because a white man has shot a black - shows this is an issue.
Of course Katy meant no harm. But it shows she's ignorant. And is not at all brushed up on what #blacklivesmatter is. Like right above me, h.u.r.r.i.c.a.n.e. is taunting black people with the sarcastic comment. But what your dumb ass fails to understand is this movement has ONE specific agenda. That's why people are not happy with her tweet. This SPECIFIC cause doesn't broaden further than what it is. Why is that so hard to understand?
You all are sitting here telling us what we do and do not deserve. Telling us how we should feel about our kind being murdered over and over for no reason and with no reprimand in such a short period of time. Is there a limit of unjustified murders you need before it gets through your relatively thick skulls? Step off if you're lacking in knowledge about any of this.
I will end with saying I'm not surprised. Between these killings, Paula Deen, Cosby, etc. ATRL's non-minority have shown how they were raised very well.

So you think this attitude helps your cause....Shut up whitey. It's nonsense that because I'm white my opinion isn't valid Your opinion is so screwed by your personal biases that maybe it should be invalidated. Every case that involves a white police officer and a black "victim" is not necessarily racist. A cop can make a bad decision independent of race. Your never going to see it this way but all these recent cases have nothing to do with race. There's multiple contributing factors, all unique but I'm convinced in each case the result would have been identical regardless of the race of each participant. All parties made mistakes in each case. And in each case a different decision by one of the individuals would have changed the outcome. But you do have to look at the evidence to realize this. Some people are looking for confirmation. It's easy to find. You can find it anywhere if you look hard enough. but when you look that hard sometimes you see something that's not really there.
Just to clarify..I do think blacks in particular suffer from racism..But theses recent cases don't qualify. It's sad that I can't discuss these issues without first stating that I know there's racism .....just to try to discount the inevitable charges of my racism and ignorance.. I'm talking to you....your not listening and I'm sure you think I'm not worth listening to.
Me... Chuck Barkley..... There's nobody I'd rather sit down and have a beer. Would you listen to him?
