Or, hell, a place like Japan where a person of Korean descent can be seen as being not truly Japanese generations after their family immigrated. Or go to African countries where tribal differences are seen as enough to discriminate.

This to me is very interesting and a way I hadn’t thought of it before, which is admittedly rather embarrassing. It’s true that if you don’t have good role models you are less likely to break a cycle of horrible situations. That said...

At what point do we stop blaming

One would easily be able to say after reading my points — that were an explanation of why the guys were ultimately reaching the same conclusion with media creating a false controversy — and your statements — judging me as racist for not judging them on their points but pointing out the overreaction at its surface —…

i kind of agree! “black culture” did indeed develop in truly miserable conditions and in presence of systemic oppression. also, poverty clearly plays a part in violence! there is a very clear positive statistical correlation between the two. however, I don’t agree that violence is purely a result of capitalistic…

Yeah, but people wouldn’t click on an article called “Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett Mostly Agree About Stuff.”

You sound like a moron.

Wait, does he think that explanation makes the 49er fans look better?

County Recorder: Play “Greensleeves” while education budgets are cut

So instead of focusing on their game plan for the week you want them to work on hand signals, instead of wanting the Patriots to follow the rules and show good sportsmanship? How do you prepare for an inability to communicate between a coaches box and the field? Counter-cheat and bring your cell phone with you? Come…

None. None at all. If rain could severely fuck up broadcast signals, we’d still be in the stone age.

Before any Patriots fans comment:

So riding these bikes through the city is illegal, but the police trying to stop the event are the bad guys?

This has been going for years in Baltimore and Philly. Connecting it to Freddie Gray is stupid both for the subjects of the article and the author. Also, it is far from a benign activity. They most certainly do not use hand signals (at least in my experience). It’s usually a 14 year old helmetless kid doing a 50 mph…

Stop. I’m not a gun advocate, but this is the type of response that shuts down any type of discussion just as fast as “BUT IT’S IN THE CONSTITUTION”.

Christ. Get that cat away from sociopathic teenagers before something awful happens...

It is part of the you aren’t the “right kind of black” arguments that happen anytime an educated black person tries to help in a more inner-city focused situation.

That’s what I came here to say. Sanders was consistently drawing larger crowds than some BLM rallies (he certainly did in my city), so it could be argued, he blew them up.
