He won’t be in jail because the boys swarmed him and two physically assaulted him. I’m not saying that this justified him pulling out his gun and firing a shot, but that’s the way it works down here.

Racist bullshit? Yeah, I know that firing the gun appears to be completely fucked up, but why racist? The cop and the boy both appear to be Latino.

In Texas, they call it the, “rode hard and put up wet,” look.

Thank you!

The enmity actually predates 1948. For a thousand years, Jews and Christians lived in Muslim countries in what was called “Dimmi” status. Meaning, they were tolerated, but not given the exact same rights as other citizens.

Actually, the Jewish and Muslim communities in the US get along just great. Which is why they live side by side in many instances- no, it’s not just coincidental.

Actually, Obama deported on a very large scale- up to 3 million during his eight years in office.

Yeah, this is one for the record books- one of the strangest threads I’ve seen on this site.

Not one person on this thread ever implied that Jewish people “have it the worst,” or that Black people have not and are not suffering tremendously. The poster above made a comment about global conspiracies of control, and scapegoating. You’re arguing against a point that no one has made.

You might want to learn to read sarcasm.

The poster isn’t saying that Jewish people have it worse than Black people. He/she is saying that Jews are uniquely blamed for certain types of global conspiracies throughout history for the past 2,000 years. While both have suffered horribly in the past, there is no doubt that Black people suffer more in the…

Yeah, and all this time, I thought anti-Black racism ended after the Civil War.

I don’t believe Trump is particularly racist or anti-Jewish. I do believe he’s demented, cynical, and willing to do whatever he needs for power, and I don’t put it past Trump to throw pretty much any ethnic/religious group under the bus to achieve his ends.

Why would you think “the West” was 65 years past this? These things happen in Europe literally all the time.

I’m sure that will get you all sorts of #alllivesmatter comments.

And yet, our social lives and depth of communication were just as rich back then as they are today.

Yeah, that stuff’s insane. Neoliberalism is looking great right now compared to the shit we’re currently dealing with.

Yeah, with the exception of a few blogs, not one large news organization is reporting on this story. Police threatening to arrest someone simply for falling asleep and being gay on a major airline would usually create an enormous scandal. Especially for a celebrity.

Since none of us personally know either party involved, we should wait until we actually have all the facts before rushing to judgement.
