That's odd, I seem to remember you railing about 1ct+ diamond earrings, which could legitimately be classified as something prevalent mostly in black culture. What do you think about young males wearing 1ct+ diamond earrings?

Look, if you want to go off on this tangent then go post in the other thread. You're really flailing here. I know you "want" me to be racist, but I'm not, and you're doing a piss poor job of trying to make it out like I am.

Go quote a specific post and we'll hash it out. Maybe grow up a little in the process?

So the FACT that you consistently assume the guilt of anyone who is black isn't racist. How about the Jordan Davis thread where you say Dunn made "idiotic mistakes" and "is a complete moron" but regularly refer to the victims who were shot at and the one who died as "felon thugs". If you want to claim that you want everyone to be treated equally perhaps you should start doing that yourself, because currently everytime something race related comes up you immediately assume the guilt and fault of anyone black. And if you haven't figured it out, THAT MAKES YOU RACIST!

Or, I pick the obviously guilty one and rail on them. Just like I railed on dunn, and said he's an idiot, and should server time. But of course you ignore that.

And as I said... in the other thread..... dunn being a friggin moron doesn't automatically make the felon thug crew angels.

It has nothing to do with race either, except that's what you want SO BAD is for it to be all about race.

I have no problem whatsoever with black culture or black youth, but in my mind that really isn't what this thread OR these 'suspected fraud' situations are about. Nor do I view my race or culture as superior. We all have our differences, and I enjoy and respect that.


But.... It doesn't matter to you. You don't agree with me. You're incapable of having an intelligent debate about this topic. So rather than doing any difficult critical thinking you simply label me as a racist and continue on doing whatever it is that you do.

You think it's ridiculous that any officer would arrest someone based only on the color of their skin, do you think that statement is reasonable considering NYC stops and frisks more african americans than exist in nyc?

Here you go. Can't post in that thread because it was surprisingly locked because you were being extremely racist.

The obviously guilty one(s) always seems to be the black guy(s). Why is that?
 
Fine, to me, large fake earrings really aren't a cultural thing. And any young man wearing huge fake earrings is trying to make himself fit a certain image, so I will treat him like he wants to be treated. Period. Again, not a thing to do with color.


Look... I'm done with the back and forth over this. Your ultimate goel seems to be to get this thread locked, probably because it isn't going "your way", and I don't want any part of that.

Certain image? You will treat him like he wants to be treated? Do you mean you will treat him like a star football/basketball player? Do you also treat women the way they want to be treated? Does no really mean yes? I'm so confused.

Oh yeah, you are winning so hard I'm just about in tears over here. Please make it stop!
 
More race baiting by the resident troll homer. The people at the store are complete idiots and were wrong for what they did. This was clear racial profiling and should never have happened.
 
You heard it here first, wearing huge fake earrings makes you a thug.



And just for clarification, their earrings were not huge at all.

Because these people (in addition to those like Incorruptible with his Muslim threads) honestly keep the forums going. Just look how many posts/how much action the threads they take part in get. I honestly believe that if this were 5+ years ago when the forums were busier, they would have already been banned. Now, though? It's parades on and on. It's really disgusting.

Brown said he was inspired to step forward by Trayon Christian, the 19-year-old who The News first reported filed suit against Barneys on Monday.
“He was brave,” Brown, 29, said. “It’s my duty to follow through.”

I'm a little surprised by this. You'd think it's the other way around.

I know you're an idiot but how about you stop spreading lies. I am not a racist or "Islamophobe". The term Islamophobe was created by the MB you idiot.

My threads are about RADICAL ISLAM and I defend Moderate Muslims. Do you understand this or are you just going to continue acting like an idiot.

As for spatial, this is america, as long he was wearing clothing that covered up his body properly, he should be able to wear whatever he wants. But reality is, in the minds of so many, they just want any excuse to hassle a black person, even if they make it up as they go along.

Might be a good idea to wait to see what Macy's has to say. Maybe when his card was run the CC company somehow flagged it?

Geez that's just too logical fern. We've already got the pitchforks and colorwheels out. That's all the modern progressive needs in order to form an opinion!

Macys already came out and said they didn't do anything.


They ran his card, it checked out (just like the other two individuals at Barneys). All of a sudden, he was put in cuffs because his card was "fake". Card was legit, and he had proper ID...just like the other two people at Barneys.


Cops realized they were dumbasses and offered to give him a ride to his mother's graduation in a squad car. He was detained for at least an hour. There was a police report that was eventually voided.

Geeezz guys, show a little mercy here, you have spacie doing his "I aam not aa racist!" whine on the first page. Do you really expect a three foot midget to admit he is short?

Hmm, this is twice that spatiallyaware has ignored this question (the other time deliberately where he responded to one question but ignored this very same question in the same quote).

Guess i got you spatiallyaware 🙂

Let look at the violent crimes were being perpetrated by which group, shall we? NYPD Commissioner said:

"It makes no sense to use census data, because half the people you stop would be women," Kelly said. "About 70 percent to 75 percent of the people described as committing violent crimes -- assault, robbery, shootings, grand larceny -- are described as being African American.

"The percentage of people who are stopped is 53 percent African American," he continued. "So really, African Americans are being under stopped in relation to the percentage of people being described as being the perpetrators of violent crime. The stark reality is that a crime happens in communities of color."

Kelly's boss, Bloomberg, is a very liberal guy and he approved that stop and frisk policy.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg sees this as proof that stop-and-frisk works.
