Another Black Man Killed By Police

I started this thread almost a year ago when Alton Sterling was shot and killed by police. DOJ should be announcing fairly soon that they won't be charging the officers responsible. Philando Castile was killed the same day I believe. NRA and his employer all silent about his killer being charged with just manslaughter. It would seem no one cares. 


You'd only have to look at 1 or 2 responses to this original thread to see that. The history between black people and the police is longstanding but I personally think its worse now than before. Its open season with no justice for their families. They demonize/dehumanize your loved one and thats when you realize just how many American citizens could care less if you live or die. You can see the racist undertones in almost every response here

I didnt add links for Keith Lamont Scott (sp) Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown Jr, Eric Garner, Laquan McDonald, Rekia Boyd, Jamar Clark, Sean Bell (sp), John Crawford, Korryn Gaines and countless others either!!! And is your point that because Walter Scotts killer will possibly face jail time that somehow means black lives are valued and no one is racist? Shouldn't the value be placed before the bullet leaves the gun? What exactly was your point? 

Walter Scott's mother:
"Scott's mother said the sentence mattered little to her now that Slager had admitted responsibility.

"What made me feel good about it is that Michael Slager admitted what he did. That was enough years for me," she said in response to the question how much time she wanted Slager to serve.
"No matter how many years Michael Slager gets, it would not bring back my son," she said. "This is a victory for Walter. This is justice for the family, but this is just the beginning."

I thought a large number of peas had racist views but generally tried to not be the black pea who tries to change anyones mind which is impossible by the way especially since most people won't even acknowledge it but are we seriously going to sit here and pretend America doesn't have a problem with race? 45 is president. The Ministry of Travel for the Bahamas told its citizens to use extreme caution when interacting with the police. They basically said avoid American this summer but when I say clearly racists comments still viewable here have a "racial undertone" I'm a bitch you no longer want to interact with? Does that make sense to you? Please note your interactions with me here on the board or your approval of my participation here on the board means very little to me. 

Still trying to figure out how justice for Walter Scott somehow means society cares if black people live or die? He is still dead you know?    Why are you so angry at me? Any of you could tackle that question. Not just you lucyg. Why the anger? Really ask yourself that. 

I don't believe all white people have racist views. Since the election I believe we now ALL KNOW that the number of racist Americans are higher than once thought right? The Civil Rights Act is only 53 years old. Why was it needed? Where did the racist men and women go? Now all you have is people denying racism exists despite clear examples that something is awry? Or people who get angry because I'm telling you as a black woman racism is still alive and well? Well I guess leftturnonly did say black people are whiny   thats it we just want something to complain about. All is well we just wanna fuss *shrugs shoulders*. 

Why do you think Jordan Edwards is dead? 

As for black people being thugs and gang members, have you seen the number of black students that got accepted to all eight Ivy League schools this graduation season? 

I believe her argument was the time-tested "All white people are racists only if all black people are thugs and gang members" my response was "No not all white people are racist just as not all black people are thugs and gang members. If the next step in this dance is you posting one example of a non racist white person feel free to do so. 

I don't doubt that there are small pockets like that, that exist. I am not saying as a whole white people are horrible mean racist people. But could we stop denying that maybe a 15 year old kid is dead and his entire family is traumatized because they are black. Why has this thread turned to pointing out how there are white people actually being good human beings to people who don't look like them as if this behavior shouldn't be expected by now. No one wants to be reminded of whats wrong.Thats why everyone hates my participation here. It would seem no one wants to change because that would A. Require you saying hey I/Society have some shortcomings. B. You like things exactly as they are!! When someone challenges the evil in society you silence the challenger and say nope we don't want to play with you anymore. That is whats happening here. Where are the peas who stand up for what is right? River what town does my family need to move to to ensure a routine traffic stop doesnt result in our death. Where? refugeepea literally said "hey I wasn't outwardly racists in my comments to you and you still said most comments had racists undertones so I won't be interacting with you anymore" ummm okay did you read what Zee said? Did you see the welcoming attitude Gina had last year? leftturnonly wanted so very badly to retract her comments but instead dug her heels in the ground with absolutely no one saying....HEY IS THIS RIGHT?


No one will answer why the anger toward me or even why is the child dead if you had to guess?

Everyone can read what you said. I added my own spin to your comments because thats basically how I received what you said. Calm down. Look at you here! Again why so angry? Ignore me all you want. It really is no skin off my back. Truly.

This is ridiculous. 

I hope everyone can see what your intentions were on this thread.
