There is a ton of irony in your objection to the term in a post that does a lot of referring to a lot of people at once. If there is no 'black community,' who is it that's being RACIST by daring to observe that their skin color is often relevant to how people think about them and act towards them?

BTW, see the reference to 'White America' in the post preceding yours. Racist, in your view?
Ah yeah OK, makes a lot of fucking sense.

Why don't you try for awhile to look at people's character and not their ethnicity. Seem like your argument hides behind this finger pointing nonsense that if your white you must be racist. Using terms like "white america" maybe applies to where you live but not me. Seems like it also gets used as an excuse quite a bit.

Does matter what color the Ferguson looters are they're wrong for what they are doing and should be ashamed of themselves.

That was my first instinct about Darren Brown.

It's not my fault this enormous and entitled thug who attacked a police officer happened to be black.

So, he was only assaulted by a robbery suspect drug abuser who outweighed him by 100 lbs? Does it require a robbery suspect drug abuser at more than one hundred fifty to count?

Or, should we just go that he was attacked by a robbery suspect drug abuser?

They are both the same height.

Wilson is 6'4" 210 lbs.

Brown was 6'4" 292 lbs.

From the pictures I've seen of Brown that extra 82 lbs is fat.

So the leaner man should easily been able to handle the fat one in a fight.

Give Wilson another 10 years of sitting on his butt eating doughnuts and he'll be 292 too. Then it would be an even match.

Reading through this thread I can only draw one conclusion - there are those who apparently must continue to make this an issue about race, facts be damned. Prior to the Grand Jury investigation, the limited facts that were available didn't support that narrative.

Now that the Grand Jury has reached a conclusion and more facts are available, that narrative stands in stark contrast to those facts. But that doesn't matter. The left still, for some reason remains fully invested in ginning up race hatred and hatred of the law enforcement community. Hell, the headline from the Common Dreams rag headlines with the word "injustice."

Why?

Why don't you stop being a dick? What the hell else do you call people? What, we can't refer to anybodies race now? Is this some sort of right wing political correctness?

Hey Mike-----I'm White! Did that offend you?
