You're right, it's not racist to assume someone with little money receiving a lot of money will mishandle that money.

It is racist to speculate that it will be blown on Jordan's and Escalades with spinning rims, just because the people in question are black.

Well how long before it's not a crutch, excuse whatever you want to call it?

The Vietnamese came her in the 70's for a better life and you don't hear them complaining about hardships...let's see who had a better chance of success...a group that fled a war torn country and didn't even speak the language or a group that's been here 300 years?

And now every business owner who got looted and/or burned to the ground should file suit against the Grays.

"Burn this mother fricker to the ground" I believe was the command....


Actually, that was someone in Michael Brown's family. But of course, they all look the same to you, don't they?

White people have been slaves too. Every race has been enslaved at one point in history. And every race has owned slaves. Your argument is as soft as a bear wiping his @ss with charmin.


Only one race was used explicitly as fodder for this country, though. American heritage = destroying black bodies.

I'll go with the group who came here with a political tailwind (i.e. the disastrous end of the Vietnam War and American politicians looking for some sort of cover) and not the group who had just required several years previously 2 acts of congress in order to attempt to assure them even their basic rights as Americans.

How many Louisiana national guardsmen had to be deployed to protect some Vietnamese fisherman going about their business? Because Collis Temple needed that well into the 70's just to play basketball for LSU.

You mean, apart from the times they used Irish and Italians and chinese because slaves had actual value, right?
Know why they call it Irish Canal in New Orleans?

Yes, I do. Get back to me when that was a 300 year foundation of the entire country. And when they were slaves.

You would have it so much better in Africa though...right?

I doubt any black people are being oppressed and killed over there

ETA- just tell us what would make it all better...money? Apologies? What exactly would help make all this go away?

Not sure what you are talking about. Just disputing 2 claims that were made:

1)Viets had it worse or as bad as blacks. False

2)n word wasn't used during the Civil War false.

Feel free to keep making shite up.

You are really saying that the Vietnamese had more advantages since arriving in the us than blacks had when the Vietnamese arrived? We are talking since the 70's not 1700's.

In my google searches if the usage of the n word it was not originally a derogatory word...someone earlier says the word was derogatory since slavery and cited huck Finn...huck Finn was published 20 years AFTER slavery was abolished.


Why avoid my statements of what life is like in Africa? Don't want to admit that anywhere is probably better than the homeland?

What was the economic value of Mr. Gray? What was he doing in life to warrant a present value of future cash flows equal to $6.4 mil??


Lol, and I'm sure if your son were unjustly killed, the first thing you'd do is break out your calculator and figure out the specific monetary value of his life based on a conservative estimate of his earning potential.
