Neener- Do you really think racism has gone the way of landlines?

Nate, are you just trolling now or are you really that far out there? At the most basic level, how do you know the vic was “a bad guy?” I am guessing your logic is something like this. White people don’t generally get in knife fights, so the vic must be black or hispanic, so this must be a gang or drug thing, so the vic must be bad, so he deserved death regardless of what the altercation between them was about, so we should just give the perp a pass since he did everyone a service.

Well, no surprise there, it just reaffirms what I already knew about you. You’re a bigot. Why do you even live in the city if this is what you think? Why don’t you go somewhere safe, like Alaska, where you will never be bothered by all those bad people whose skin isn’t the same color as yours?

I disagree with Nate. Sadly, I don’t think enough African Americans are pissed enough about crime to blame Obama for the lack of change where that is concerned. A lot of folks like to say that “we” complain too much. Well, I think we don’t complain enough about the impact that self destructive behavior has on the society as a whole. And sorry, but Clarence Thomas is slightly reactionary…. You know, like a bowling ball is slightly inanimate.

Nate and Darkside and everyone else who doubts, will start to doubt and will think that nothing really changed…

the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces, the Commander in Chief of the United States Army, the Commander in Chief of the United States Navy, the Commander in Chief of the Marine Corps, the Commander in Chief of the United States Air Force, is a black man. To suggest that the leader responsible for the command and control of dozens of nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, marines and sailors is a black man AND that it either doesn’t matter or will fall on deaf ears after a while is just bizarre. If it happens now, it’s because people are too ignorant to understand now, if it happens later it’s because people are too ignorant to understand then. Yes, even though this election proves that the US is no longer a racist society, people keep saying, “Racism isn’t dead.” Well you know, murder isn’t dead either but we don’t live in a murderous society just because some people will murder. The vast majority of Americans put their trust in the armed safety of their country and their children in the hands of a black man and if that doesn’t mean something big and that something has permanently changed you just aren’t thinking about it.

Is the Obama victory supposed to represent another “holiday from history,” or something?

Holy Jesus I sure hope so! If not then what the hell, you know?

Othr than the reward, why should anyone turn the killer in? It seems he efficiently killed the person he wanted to kill with little collateral damage. In a city, knifing is much safer and preferable than shooting into a crowd or an occupied car or building. To me this killing was wrapped up rather neatly. Bad guy dies at the hands of an even badder guy. As long as the bad guy does not start knifing good guys, what really is the big deal?

Your a Pickle – what do you say to try to hide your intense racism against white people. Maybe you should seek some counseling so you can transition along with the neighborhood.
