50 years from now, when all those that experienced Jim Crow are gone, people will still be invoking that mantra because it has been burned into their brains as something that they say still exists today.

I understand that most of the "realities" you speak of were exaggerated or outright falsehoods.

Huh?

without attacking police
"the Cambridge police acted stupidly"
"What we saw was that the Ferguson Police Department in conjunction with the municipality saw traffic stops, arrests, tickets as a revenue generator, as opposed to serving the community, and that it systematically was biased against African-Americans in that city who were stopped, harassed, mistreated, abused, called names, fined."
"I want to begin by expressing my condolences for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. As I said in the statement that I posted on Facebook, we have seen tragedies like this too many times.
The Justice Department, I know, has opened a civil rights investigation in Baton Rouge. The governor of Minnesota, I understand, is calling for an investigation there as well.
As is my practice, given my institutional role, I can't comment on the specific facts of each case. And I have confidence (AUDIO GAP).
But what I can say is that all of us as Americans should be troubled by the news. These are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system."
Blamed the cops without having all the fact in all 4 cases. Really only significant police misconduct (IMHO) in the Castile case. Really blamed "all" cops with the "these are not isolated incidents" -

The specific context of my post about Black Liberation Theology had to do with my neighbors justification for the execution style murder of a black female police officer by a black male. My neighbor is a retired preacher who preached this type of theology as his profession. He has some very unusual views of the relationship between the black community and police. He justifies violence, even to the extent of executions against anybody in a police uniform.
Sadly, I don't think this attitude is isolated to just him. I think it is quite common, thanks to the politics of former President Barack Obama.

I don't know if I would feel "remorse" for defending myself against a violent thug....would you?
What are you basing those other claims on? The domestic can be established by police reports, and everyone knows that an angry spouse or girlfriend would never skew the circumstance of any event.
You say you wouldn't feel remorse.. and I get that.. I say something similar. Reality is that even if it's self defense remorse is typically present. Doesn't mean I would regret it.
And the dudes criminal record speaks for itself. Id look past it if it wasn't present before he shot Trayvon Martin.. but he had several encounters with the police prior to that

Nothing you say after this means anything. This proves you're a liberal bootlicker and are well trained at ignoring everything that doesn't fit the agenda.

The frick? Wait are you really saying what you seem to be- that the state-sponsored and state-abetted terrorism of Jim Crow wasn't that bad?

Use em dashes when emphasizing subordinate clauses . . . it helps me wade through your flaming wicker man of a statement.

So through life experiences it has only made some people have an inherent biased. I've held a healthy disdain for certain police well before Obama came on the scene.

Did drugs make up these statistics?

No, but pumping drugs and guns into black communities definitely helped.

What is it about your kind that is so allergic to personal accountability? I'll never figure that one out.
