That made me laugh more than I should have.

Any chance you happen to write? I ask because you make a persuasive case with out being in your face about it and I think more of those articles could bring people around to seeing the unfair harassment that is common to POC in this country.

You mean John Crawford (shot inside) or the guy shot outside who yelled it's a toy right before police shot him.

From what I heard and what the police had said, it was actually a cap gun. So you couldn't even shoot someone's eye out with it. Not that I expect cops to know that on arrival or anything, but Tamir and his parents had little to no reason to expect that people would feel threatened by it. And even though Tamir may…

It really pisses me off that that one didn't get more coverage. There just (to my limited knowledge of events) seem to be any defense of shooting him. They didn't seem to even tell him that they were there and he never pointed the gun at him. So even if we assumed (granted we know the report was bunk but thought…

What's the "Cops lives matter" thing about? There been a rash of police slayings or something?

Well at least partly because they (generally) don't treat them as toys in public areas (whole lot treat them like toys and shoot themselves and their friends). Not that Tamir didn't have every right to play with a toy gun in a public space.

What happened to the good old days when musician's only mission from god was to deliver some good blues and where sunglasses. I blame the sequel.

Humans haven't ever been good on the whole "my brothers pain is my pain" thing. Sadly. But you are right of course.

For them it does. In general having privilege benefits a group with it, at least in the short term.

A) How am I indifferent to the plight of other? Like I said, I don't like the fact I get a good deal and others don't. Some of it I earned some of it I didn't. But there isn't anything I can do as an individual to change that other than pointing out societies inadequacies to others. Protesting doesn't change all that…

I never said I was comfortable that our system is racist. I enjoy the fact that I get a fair deal. I am not happy that others don't. I also never said that there isn't a problem with the system. Just that I don't blame the people that the system treats better for the worse treatment of others (assuming they aren't…

So you didn't refute anything I said. And the best you can do is an Ad Hominem attack and a request for me to die.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

How sanctimonious are you that you need to blame people who didn't build the system for it being broken? Why do you expect people to say "no that's ok I don't want any advantages"? You don't like the system, do your part to change, but don't act like people taking advantage of a system are at fault for it being…

SHHHH. Logic scares bigots.

People aren't generally stupid enough to yell racist slurs while accosting someone. Th

Doesn't have to be one or the other. I would say he probably wants the pardon for financial gain. But wanting a pardon or not doesn't necessarily prove or disprove that he feels remorse.

While I agree that Wahlberg doesn't deserve a pardon. It really isn't on him that the system is skewed as hell.

"He was young and reckless but I forgive him now,". That's some class right there (forgiven someone who attacked you).
