There's the ole go-to for people like you. Deflection and unwarranted accusations are all you have.

Fun fact: in all Chicago shootings in 2016, 100 shooters were black, 36 were hispanic, and 5 were white.

But then again no arrest was made in the remaining 638.

Yeah, but Trump caused those 136 people of color to subconsciously commit murder so the 5 whites should be the bigger story

In this thread sure, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think there are people making massive generalizations about black people because of this. I'm sure I could find some pretty racist things said in the original thread on this.

---

All black people? No.


Black people that fit the mold of those 4? That behave and dress and comport themselves in a similar manner?


What person with any sort of sense wouldn't?

I mean that's like saying a black man shouldn't be cautious around a bunch of aryan nation thugs decked out in nazi gear.

What you present yourself as? You should damn sure be judged on it.

The grandmother of a young woman associated with a live video on Facebook of a beating says her granddaughter "had her ups and downs," but is "a good person." Priscilla Covington of Chicago says she raised the young woman "since she was a baby." She says her granddaughter no longer lives at the family home but still lives in Chicago. The grandmother says the video doesn't reflect the young woman she raised. She says she's worried because her family, including the woman's younger sisters, have been threatened since the video was posted online. She says she saw and talked to her granddaughter about four days ago, and "she was OK."

As a friend of mine says, any time you see a relative on the news say "Dey was a good boy/girl", that boy/girl is probably the biggest piece of shite of all time and should probably just be executed and do us all a favor.

It's a HATE CRIME. Lock em up!

That wasn't going to change regardless. Stupid people who found "reasons" to make asinine generalizations before this incident would have been doing the same had this not happened.

I was in that thread. Yeah, there were a couple who went too far down the racism road. For the most part, they were called out on it. All you can do when that foolishness raises its head.

Does anyone know when they will announce the charges?

Don't know, but saw where at least one only had a $1500 bail amount.

How would CNN have presented this headline if the races had been reversed?

"Racist White Trump Supporters Kidnap and Torture Young Black Man. Hate Crime of the Century!"

Yep, missed the point

Such bullshite, that's one reason Chicago is the murder capitol.
