Riots expected after acquittal: Michael Brown

[Dari]

Ohh bullshit, I see the people with problems as problems.

I look at the statistics and determine performance. It's the law of large numbers.

This is why people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem, because they never want to look at the statistics and say "Well, you know what, as a group we're fucked up". Nope, they just want to go on their merry way and say "but...but...but...you can't group us!"

Do I think every black person is a problem, fuck no. I know a lot who aren't.

What you do is akin to saying that because subprime auto borrowers, according to most measurements, perform worse, you CANNOT label them as subprime because there are some exceptions. It doesn't matter if the statistics show that a subprime borrower defaults at a 60% propensity and a prime borrower defaults at a 2% propensity. Because 40% don't default we cannot possibly label the whole group as subprime. We can only label the 60% and even then we have to make excuses for them because you just never know, they are all special.

You can't have an honest discussion with a person like you because the first thing you do is throw out racism.

I'm a realist. And, like I said before, the black community has a serious problem. But worshipping at the altar of Victimhood has not done them any favors. Put down education as uncool has not done them any favors. Neither has the ingrained racism of the past 300 years. Contrary to what you think, the majority of black people are NOT thuggish. If you prefer to see the majority as what you see and hear in rap music (which is listened to more by whites than blacks, btw) then it says more about you than the blacks you love to chastise. IMHO, it's best to accept everyone as they are rather than stereotyping them.

If you've ever visited the campus of Yale or Harvard and saw all the young white and Asian males walking around in baggy pants, would you have similar stereotypes? Of course not But they're there, believe me.

You're a moron. Try to see things from the perspective of others. I've seen police bias first hand. There are uniformed police guarding the place I work at, in addition to plainclothes private security. Whenever a black person comes by, they are extra hostile. But when it's someone who is white or Asian, they're treated differently, as if the blacks don't belong there but others do. It doesn't matter if they're dressed in a three piece suit or delivering a certified letter. It's wrong no matter how you look at it. This inbred bias that blacks are "thugs" or dangerous dates back hundreds of years and it's part of the reason why they have a problem with police.

Maybe. I'm just happy I can hit the blight keys.

Why is there bias, 50 years after MLK? After Obummer being post racial? Why do white people cross the street? Authorities are hyper sensitive? Marvin Gaye is not happy.

Racism of one sort or another isn't going away...anywhere in the world.

You know rhododendrons work too?

All yall are racist; I blame all the white people in this country before I showed up in the US circa 1999. Asians too, because they're now white when it comes to "diversity".

Edit: I guess Dari is honorarily black, given the amount of white guilt he's carrying. Dari, you get a pass.

Oh, you remember that? The flasher has been dealt with. My cousin got $90K from the embassy to make this go away. I was going to get to know him but got good news 2 weeks ago while attending a brit milah. So we just confronted his employer. Friend is going to marry the next president of a major country so I have to be on my best behavior for the next 2-3 years

lol, i never know what percent of your posts i should believe

- friend marrying a president
- cousin getting almost 100$k to "deal with" a flasher

my current belief %: %7

Ok...

Oleanders....

Extremely poisonous. Affects the heart, produces severe digestive upset and has caused death.

..Hook your buddy up... realize that.



mkay. Blight that.

Believe it or not, makes no difference to me. The Donahue-looking perv will no longer be doing his Chubby Checkers move on 47th street, that's for sure.

is he gonna die?

 

[Dari]

No. Of course not. I'm assuming they're going to get rid of him. replace him with someone else. What he does after that is up to him. He's a sick man who needs help. Hopefully, now that his (former) employer knows what he's been doing, the embarrassment can spur him to seek help. But I doubt it. So long as he does not show up where my family lives I don't care. The embassy also donated to the park association.

paying 90$k to get someone fired is probably illegal

then again, so is flashing

See the irony? You posted in here per day more than me.

Anyway, back to topic. I was shocked when I saw that post from that poster too. Just throw a guy under the bus to appease the mob, damn it if he did the crime or not.

Riots = Free stuff. Especially helpful if you are not working or doing drugs.

DAMN IT !!!!
Stop talking about our US congress.....
They work. at raising $$$
And everything they get isn't FREE.
They owe and pay the special interest in the end.
And as far as the drugs go, no comment.
It is what it is. We elected them, after all.

They should riot if the Grand Jury acquits. It tells them what they have suspected all along, that their police are above the laws, and that protesting is not going to change that.

The Grand Jury is not a criminal trial, it is just a formal hearing to see if there is reason to bring charges against the accused. There are 6 eye witness accounts that claim he killed that kid in cold blood, even if a criminal trial finds that they are mistaken, or that their was unusual circumstances that lead to an acquittal, all a Grand Jury needs is probably cause, the same level of suspicion that the cop needed to stop Brown in the first place. There is undoubtedly enough for probably cause. The very fact that the Grand Jury has taken so long to see all the evidence tells us so.

This extended Grand Jury session has been a ploy to allow tensions to die down so they can sweep it under the rug, except tensions haven't died down and now they just going to sweep it under the rug anyway.

^^ This.

For those who are against those protesting the actions of the police during and after the death of Michael Brown, looks like you have a friend in the Ku Klux Klan:

[Ichinisan]

We all know a cop will lie so I don't take your speculations (probably from Wilson's testimony) seriously.



True. the black community has serious problems to deal with. But the police aren't helping. They treat them with contempt.

Try this: Don't treat all police with contempt and automatically conclude each one is a liar.

And that is the problem right there. You see blacks as this one monolithic group. They aren't. It's extremely stupid. "They" is nothing more than a reflection of the person who is talking.

Ah, Dari.

If you're ever in a quandry and aren't sure what is true or correct in any given issue, you can almost universally have faith that whatever Dari, Dave McOwen, and bshole espouse, the opposite is pretty much guaranteed to be true.

It's like the anti "What would Jesus do?"

"WW(D), (Mc), (b)D?" ...and then do the opposite.

Reading the posts of the last day or so I'm reminded of the saying, "can't we all just get along"

We can hope there won't be violence and looting, but history doesn't indicate that's likely and the media has been feeding the flames since day one.

We could start a poll on the number of cities that erupt if he's not bound over for trial. My guess is over 30 cities over 50K in population will see some violence, looting, or fires. Hope I'm wrong, but the Rodney King aftermath is likely to be repeated.

And to quote him again, "can't we all just get along"

If you were reincarnated and came back as Michael Brown, would you kill yourself, or start stealing shit? Which one?

ATOT never disappoints me. Another great thread.

It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is because the guy was black. You can't even call a thief a thief anymore (if they are black) without being called a racist. You can't say Michael Brown was a violent thug, because people don't hear those words, instead they hear racist words. I will always judge people by their actions, and Michael Brown was a piece of shit.
