Anonymous Coward User ID: 79337883 Austria 09/20/2020 10:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Listen OP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79399200 I don't want to politicize this, but under Trump race relations have actually gotten much better. Huh? Not politicize? That's like saying talking about alcoholism doesn't require talking about booze or that talking about obesity doesn't require talking about junk food and dessert. America is so screwed up today because it's as though we're all at a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and no one wants to say, "Hi, I'm John Doe, and I'm an alcoholic." Or in a political version of an AA meeting, no one wants to say, "Hi, I'm John Doe, and I'm a liberal." Closeted Liberals and their leftism have been like cockroaches scurrying around the kitchen floor when the lights are out and everyone is asleep. |

User ID: 76135138 United States 09/20/2020 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually, people like you represent hope. Quoting: Strate8 There cannot be true equality until we can call blacks on their shit just as blacks call whites on their shit. A fucking liar is a fucking liar regardless of color. Those who support liars are a cancer in society. Supporting a black guy because he is black is just as bad as a white supporting another white asshole just because he/she is white. All of this is probably why I hang around Hispanics a lot. They don't seem to have many of the issues whites and blacks do. If ANYONE is too ignorant to realize you will ALWAYS lose an argument with a cop then they have what is coming to them in my opinion. I've had situation with cops that didn't go well, I accepted it because they have a fucking gun and I don't want to get killed. Pretty fucking simple so I don't have much sympathy for those that can't get that through their head. Honestly, I feel as if my naivety is going to be my undoing. I want to experience the world, I want to learn different cultures and languages and things not taught to me here in America but as time goes on the more I feel my world becoming smaller and more rigid. I'm losing hope. If you go outside America you will find that racism and inequality exists in every country and this place is not nearly as bad as many others and not as bad as MSM says it is. Your own world tells you everything you need to know. You go to work and work with different races right? You all pretty much get along right? There are assholes there and they are called assholes because they are assholes and not because they have a certain skin color. Japanese, Chinese, Korean - they aren't huge fans of each other. Europeans? Bunch of white people that got into massive wars with each other for whatever reasons. Irish Catholic and Protestants - White as hell but fought and killed each other because of a religion where I can't really tell the difference between the 2. trolls vs bots - we live in a scifi world |

When the shit kicks off no one will take the time to get to know you, and learn that you are a decent thoughtful person. Sadly tribalism will take over and you will be tarred with the same broad brush that your less thoughtful, more violent fellow blacks will be. But I think there is some good news, if good patriotic black Americans start marching together carrying flags IN MASS they can stop this insanity. But it’s really up to you and those like you. There is nothing white America can do and there’s not a lot of time left. Good luck |

User ID: 79342957 United States 09/20/2020 11:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . . . . . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78606767 A black conservative is always the smartest guy in the room. . . . . . That's a great thing to say. I follow a lot of black conservative guys on youtube because I'm genuinely interested in their point of view. You know they have thought their point of view through thoroughly and always question it and renew their commitment to it, because they get so much hell from other black people, they get death threats from other black people. So you know they really believe in what they're saying and they know they can back it up. So I'm interested, to hear someone with a genuine outlook on life, genuine beliefs, a genuine point of view and philosophy. Not being wishy washy like so much of our society and culture today. |

User ID: 78876417 United States 09/20/2020 11:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I fully expect for trolls, ignorant users and otherwise hateful replies. but I am posting this to get it off of my chest before I goto sleep. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76371198 I just witnessed an interaction between a Black Man and a White Officer and the shit broke me. as I am typing this, tears are welling up in my eyes. The Black Man was under the influence of something (what exactly I am not sure) but I watch this all unfold and could tell the Black Man was high off of something. The Officer was called to the guy in his car. The White Officer was more than bending over backwards to not cause another shooting; the Black Man was continually moving around in his car, sticking his hands out of the window and even attempted to climb out of the driver side window. The entire time the White Officer was speaking to him calmly, speaking to him with respect, Never once put his hand on his weapon - just had his flash light on the guy and also his chest camera. now this is where things got almost dicey, The Black Man said he needed to piss, and even started fumbling around in his car. the man then opens his passenger side door and gets out of the vehicle, all the time this is happening the White officer kept telling him "Stop" and even told him "Man, You're going to escalate this. Please stop". The Officer then allows the man to take a piss, and tells him "Ok, you can take a piss. but piss right there". After the man pisses he tries to evade the officer, then he took off running. The situation ended in no shots fired, no injuries or anything. but this is what hurts my heart, Had this situation went left, he (the Black Man) would've been another name and face used by protestors to claim further racism and prejudices. no one would've want to hear the officer's side, and me personally - I feel this specific officer went above and beyond his means to 'bend over backwards' for this man and part of me knows it is because of the increase scrutiny that officer have upon them. The thing that angers me, if this had turned into a shooting and me being a Black Man myself - If I were to speak up in the White officer's defense, I would be called a "Coon" or an "Uncle Tom" and other derogatory terms by my own group. and no one on my 'side' would've heard me out and listened to how this White officer tried his best to not shoot another Black person. I hate humanity, I have little to no faith that there is any chance this country will not self implode. I want to escape this society and go live in the woods with books and never speak to another human soul ever again. my emotional state right now is not good, and I sincerely believe the longer I live in this corrupt and fucked up society the more it will corrupt me. As I've said on the onset to this post; I fully anticipate very negative and hateful replies but I posted this mainly for the following reasons; A. Not all situations is as cut and dry as the news makes it. B. If you were not at a cop shooting, even with the camera footage they splice and edit for news prime-time, you should never automatically judge either side C. For the Good officers who frequent this forum, regardless of your ethnicity - some citizens realize the tough position you're placed in D. To my fellow Black Men and Women, some of us have been unjustly murdered but there is some of us who also unnecessarily escalated the situation and caused themselves to be hurt Its extremely difficult for me to compartmentalize my feelings as I know there is Good and Bad on both sides. and it's going to break what little humanity I have left attempting to try and make this shit make sense. Hopefully this post helps me defuse the hurt and frustration I currently feel. |

User ID: 78823429 United States 09/20/2020 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nice to see someone tell what happened with such compassion for both sides. I pray people will just stop with their hate filled agendas and treat others how they would want to be treated. Hang in there! We have to have hope that things will eventually improve. Quoting: Ryain My heart does go out to the officers. One wrong move by someone they are questioning and the officer could be dead. Stand for what it is right and moral, no matter what they call you. It's our only hope for things improving. God bless you for sharing, especially during these difficult times. I'm hanging on by a very thin thread. I was never raised to judge on skin color but even doing this leads me into turmoil and trouble in some manner. This world is doing a number on me. This world is not our home. And our Lord told us to remember if they hate us, they hated Him first. God has already won. Just everyone hasn't realized that yet. Life is a lemon and I want my money back. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17549267 United States 09/20/2020 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for sharing. Quoting: mr dull socks the Reason that Jesus Christ came to this earth is to tell us that there is another life beyond this one. A glorious one, where all those who are decent to each other and believe in the ways of Christ will live together for eternity. we get so wrapped up in the things that go on in front of our face we very rarely stop to think about this. Jesus made it clear several times in the bible that this world has no meaning. It is only the next world that matters. No matter what craziness happens in the world, just focus on working on your spirit and ignore the world around you on earth. It is difficult sometimes, i know. However this is why we are here. To learn how to become citizens of heaven. Knock it off with the jesus cult nonsense already, LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE WORLD STILL AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS..WORSE THAN EVER. BUT HE LOVES US, RIGHT? |
