It's not wow; it's part of their culture. It's in their music, it's how they are taught as children from broken homes, it's part of their victimhood mentality.

Here's the differences I see in the two incidents:

1. You justify violence, destruction, mayhem on a grand scale because of a certain group of people is involved and they have a free pass to do anything, because.
2. You completely ignore the bad behavior of a person because of his skin color and because no one died. If you want, I can find plenty of stories where black police officers kill unarmed white people. Is it okay to go looting now?


You sir, are the root cause of the problem. Because you're afraid to condemn black people from acting poorly, cause you're scared they might kill you -- as they are violent and hate white people; especially ones who speak out against these behaviors.

Historically I haven't believed in gradations of wrong. Either you are wrong.....or you are right.

You sir are marking me question that.

Your racial bias is EXACTLY what was attempted to be peacefully protested....and people like you said that was wrong.

People like you have driven this to where it is.

We are now in the "find out" phase of "**** around and find out" and it is 100% because of people like you

No we aren't.

People have been making claims like that since the Back Panther era. Once the fires are out and a scapegoat has been appointed, things will go back to normal, with poor people bemoaning the fact that there are no jobs / grocery stores in their area, while simultaneously protesting against businesses wanting to set up shop in their neighborhood due to "gentrification." (source = history.)



What I find really sad are the people saying things like "This is why we need guns."

Because attacking the police / ATF / FBI / National Guard with weapons has always ended well. [/sarcasm]

No. Lol. Not even close.


But the violent and institutional racial bias against me is okay?

I believe that is wrong. and the ends justify the means, so therefore it is ethically okay for me to say bad things about black people when they do bad things.

I'm just calling it how I see it. I'm not looting. I went to the store today and gave money in exchange for products.


Historically d I haven't believed in gradations of wrong. Either you are wrong.....or you are right.

Loots Autozone.



What's more shocking to me, than my disgusting racial bias, is that I've posted hundreds of horrible police videos and you all called me nuts, and now this video of some cop casually resting his knee on the back of a dude's head comes out, and it justifies pillaging?! crazy.



This thread needs more dank memes.

Obama is showing his racial bias, and it's disgusting.

It is bad to steal. It is bad to destroy property belonging to others. These are bad people because they are doing bad things.

That is a quantifiable measure.

Take comfort in knowing that some people think you're the root of all evil because of your gender identity and sexual orientation.

I'm frustrated with Red Wind right now.

The first pair of 878s lasted over four years, and were extremely comfortable. I swore I'd never buy Timberlands again.

I bought another pair, exact same model, and even after two months they're still terribly uncomfortable. Several pressure points that the last pair didn't have.

So I'm back to Timberland. They aren't the most durable boot in the world, but at least they're consistent.

Yeah Redwing boots aren't that great for the price you pay. If i was paying for them and not the company i wouldn't bother with them. Since my boots don't last more than 6 months i'm constantly breaking them in. It's horrible.
My summer boot is the 2400 and winter boot is the 2416 when i can find them in stock.

I get $400 a year for boots so cost doesn't matter too much as long as they're comfy
