It's chilling how similar the King-led civil rights movement is to the current black lives matter movement. It's almost as if we haven't made much of any progress as a country. Weird.
Depends how much you want to illogically victim blame, I guess.
Nope, it was ruled a homicide.
Medical examiner said cause of death was the throat being crushed.
Also "it is never my intention to hurt someone." What, does he think a choke hold is a hug??
You "feel bad" you murdered someone? You "feel bad" ?! I "feel bad" I dropped by toast this morning and that I left my lunch in the fridge at home yesterday. You murdered someone and you escaped justice. Fuck you.
For centuries - literally, hundreds of years - black people in America have been harassed, lynched, beaten, maimed and murdered for as little as whistling at a white woman, or for talking to the wrong person in the wrong way. And recently as December 2014, we've seen that not only a stern talking-to or media meltdown…
People should be angry.
Sorry, would you like to outline the steps of that test? As far as anyone knows based on the information we have, the steps are 1) Steal cigarillos. 2) Get told by a cop who doesn't know about the theft to walk on the sidewalk. 3) Do not comply with cop. 4) Cop pulls gun. 5) (this part is in LOTS of dispute, but…
In 1994, White America saw a chance to lynch a famous black man and failed because they were blinded by race and couldn't do the slightest bit of detective work to realize that his son killed those people. White America didn't forget their embarrassment and shmucks like you use it to fuel your internal hatred of…
Last I checked, gangsters have committed to a life of crime. Cops have taken an oath to uphold it.
Cops killing with impunity is a feature of our criminal justice system, not a bug. This is what it was designed to do.
Except his killers were charged & indicted, and at trial they'll go away for decades if not be put to death. Unlike these killer cops who straight up walked, usually without a trial. You ignorant dumbass. Think for 2 seconds.
But these are the most egregious examples. Every day there's little bits of this same system exposed. Black people getting longer sentences than whites for the same crime and with the same criminal background (or no backgrouns). Higher arrest rates for blacks even though the same number of whites engaged in the…
Of all of the really stupid comments in the grays that I read because I hate myself, I want to single this one out because I think it's truly a monumental achievement in tone-deafness to imagine that young black men are being more detrimentally affected by sympathetic Deadspin articles than by being MURDERED.
He was 292 lbs and 6'4"... but Wilson was 6'4" too and 210 lbs. Not all of Brown's weight was muscle, and not all of Wilson's weight was fat.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL! "Convenient" how you have to go all the way back to 1994 to find a case where a black guy was acquitted!
Today's announcement doesn't just leave me speechless. It truly makes me wonder how any person with dark skin can live in this country and trust that the systems and institutions that make it so great will work for them. Then you sum it up far too pointedly.
In July, New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo choked unarmed black man Eric Garner to death, in broad daylight,…
