Some people are completely discounting racism here. It’s odd.
quote:Neither of us has anywhere NEAR enough information to know much of anything regarding the legal machinery on this yet.
If an arrest was made when it should have been made, there’s no narrative of the DA being a good ole boy protecting the white man.
quote:"That" in my sentence was referring to the "OMG, black men are being hunted" narrative which is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT why this became a national story. To drive THAT narrative.
It blew up before his tweet.

It’s weird that these criminal stories that supposedly expose the prominent prevalent racial injustice and divide of our system and society only seem to come about once every couple of years.

Again, controversy and how they handled it does not automatically mean it was because of racism. Just because racism is possible doesn't mean it is probably or definite.

Their 911 call is racist af, man. “There’s a black man running down our road” isn’t a reason to call the police but they used it.
Found the true racist.

Honestly, this isn't about race unless you WANT it to be.

A black man is safer on any given day walking thru a neighborhood with known KKK members living there than he is walking thru the typical inner city black neighborhood.

Its a littel bit about race
Come on.
I don't think they were going out there just to kill a black guy, but I also don't think they are chasing down this dude if all the facts are the same any he is white.

Indeed. From LeBron talking about blacks being "hunted" every time we leave home (ridiculous), to idiots acting like whites are constantly under threat from blacks and this type of shite is justified in principle.
Just a whole lotta stupid floating around out there right now like flotsam.

A couple of retarded rednecks kill a burglar and its WW3, was it stupid yes, are they going to be held accountable, yes.
But sorry if I dont are because the grotesque hypocrisy has made me numb.
Everybody knows this.
I am not responsible for what other white people. Leftist racists somehow expect me to feel like I am.
If this happened all the time it would not be big news.

They probably are doing the exact same thing no matter what the color is of the dude that they think did them wrong. Not smart regardless.

In 2020 maybe
But it's not like there are a lot of neighborhoods where there are known KKK members. There are a few thousand members of the KKK left and they're probably all just informants spying on each other without knowing it.

Because a lot of people WANT to zero in in the racial angle, regardless of whether there was actually one at play or not. I have no idea, and IDGAF at the end of the day--my reaction would be the same no matter which colors showed up in that vid.

I don't care if Black men kill Black men.

I don't care if White men kill Black men.
I don't care if any color men kill any other color men.
We have laws against murder.
That said, regardless of the laws vs murder, if you kill a member of my family, you won't live until the trail.
