Also, OF COURSE things are shit for them. Don’t get me wrong here man, I completely agree. I see the way people treat them at the grocery store AND ON THE WAY to the grocery store and it makes me sick. You can’t fucking say “Hi”? You can’t even give them a little nod? Yet you’ll say hello and smile to the next person…

Well in that case can you provide proof that it’s causing black people or people of color to be harassed? I have absolutely no doubt it is, but if you’re going to throw the statistic card at me, I’m going to have to ask you to substantiate your claim.

Agree completely. I’m not intending to redirect that argument. I’m just saying, from my experience so far, I’ve seen it bring people from all different races together. Being from Indiana originally, I absolutely know there’s a serious issue with institutionalized racism. Also from my experience in customer…

Not that hard to understand man. Poor people do what they have to do to survive. Middle class and up have options. It’s that way all around the world.

Neither of them did anything to deserve what happened to them. Castille’s family needs to throw the book at that department.

Yeah, I really do agree that it’s sad that our country isn’t comfortable enough with black people to allow them to live their lives like anyone else. It’s ridiculous that they always have to be on the defensive or expect that some injustice will happen to them. We absolutely have to change it.

He was being sarcastic. The problem is racial AND economic. People sit there and use their priors as an excuse for justifying whatever happens to them when they’re in fucking poverty and do things middle class white people don’t have to do to survive. And then they actually have the balls to apply that to an entire…

Or a white kid being convicted of rape but OH HE WAS A GOOD KID BEFORE THIS HAPPENED UNLIKE THE BLACK GUY WHO HAD GOT CAUGHT WITH WEED ONCE.

You ever consider the economic status of those people? The black population is at 25% poverty level. You think that has nothing to do with it?

Really? Go on reddit and look at all the gatherings that are happening. It’s not at all isolated.

While racism is absolutely a nationwide issue, I’d argue that this game is bringing people of different races and colors together.

When you guys can’t decide where to go to lunch as a group, what’s your default go-to?

How many pokemons inhabit the Gawker offices?

Reggie Miller forever. This especially:

Yeah I won’t defend that. That tweet needs to be taken down Now. They also need to retract on it to let everyone know he is not a suspect or even POI.

Seriously. I’ve spent time in DFW, Austin, and San Antonio, and even plenty of time in some smaller towns and never saw this. People here think they know the world based on what they see online. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, I know they CAN, but on any normal day you’ll never see one. At events and rallies concerning guns or violence of course you’re going to see one.

How about actually going to Texas and then saying that instead of basing your opinions off pictures and videos from isolated areas. I never in my life have seen someone just walking down the street with an assault rifle. Pistols? Yeah. Rifles. No.

People do not carry around rifles all the time in Texas. Have you ever even been there or are you just talking out of stereotypes?

Come on. A guy walking around with a rifle moments before snipers opened fire. I think it’s pretty reasonable to label that individual as a suspect, don’t you think?
