The Michael Brown Shooting Official Thread

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Where did I say this?

He should be locked up. Why should be killed for just walking in front of him?

I would like to know who he has already killed. We need to look into every house he owns. It is probably like House of 1000 Corpse. A house full of dead gay people, blacks and liberals.

Locked up for what ? Being white and having an opinion you don't like ? House full of dead gay people? Just when I thought I had read every ignorant statement that could ever be made .

BAM here comes a winner

But the Mormons would be harder to spot since they are white.

The bicycle and Tie. dead give away

Why do they bury Mormons upside down?

So they have a place to park their bikes!

Ah! I miss Utah sometimes.. for the record I have had two sets of missionaries visit lately and neither of them were Euro-white. Two from the Philippines, two from South America somewhere.. (hint hint to those looking for a creative way to get a visa)

The end is very telling... We looted and burned down the businesses because of no jobs....A city near me during the riots 50 years ago same thing happened. Black folks burned down the streets in a section of the city. Today 50 years later..... empty lots, hookers and drug dealers ... Small businesses that would have employed teens.. like a small shoe store .. insurance was not enough to rebuild. .... Look at these 3 fellows tattoos everywhere... would I want that image to represent my product as a salesman ... Knock on doors and get past the receptionist ... never going to happen... A car sales dealership would not hire these 3 men... But in Marvins world because their name is Deshawn... That's why they cannot find work. All them jobs that fellow talked about that young folks could do.....That border is wide open ... Undocumented democrats .. they will be the ones working .. doing those jobs.

Tavis is still correct

50 years ago?! yeah maybe a small shoe store that employed teens could have thrived. don't know if you've noticed, mom and pop's don't stick around very long, they can't compete with the big guys.

and tattoos? people with tattoos can get jobs. they may have to cover them, but there are products out there that do the job effectively. i know teachers that have full sleeves. i know cops that have tramp stamps. so yeah, while it's a well known fact that visible tattoos can be an obstacle, your name is not something you can easily overcome. and you shouldn't have to.

and as far as undocumented workers go, prosecute the businesses that hire them.

why is it so hard for you to acknowledge that there is something wrong with the ferguson police department? is it really that difficult to accept that their current methods of policing aren't working or benefiting the community?

Years ago I worked with a black fellow.. Complained his son could not find work for the summer. He was wearing a new pair of shoes.. I said where did you buy them ... At the mall...I said is their a shoe store in your neighborhood yes down the street. No connection... same as you .. no connection... Spend your money to keep the local person in business ... He might hire your kid. That kid you brought into his store every august before school....That same kid he saw grow up That same kid he saw every week in church,,, And when he puts a help wanted sign in the window .. that same kid walks into his shoe store and says MR...such and such .. I am looking for employment. . That same store owner can write a letter to be used in future employment searches ...Yes I know this person very well ... I saw him grow up.. a fine worker....

This is how it happens in the real world.....After the rioting ,looting, burning,,, that shoe owner ... will never be back.... And for every summer going forward a local child will never get hired. ... Never get that first job. The foot in the door into the labor market. .. Gone for good. .. forever. .. You can make all the excuses you want .. About names and such.. That same kid wants this or that pair of sneakers . need money . Starts selling a bit of weed on the corner...You are happy you love the weed . But then like your ex whatever he gets arrested. .. Now he has a record ... That sure helps when the do the background check... But it's the name that's why we cannot get a job.

yes shopping locally is very important.

and as far as 'it's the name' ... the issue is that applicants never get to the point of a background check. their application never makes it that far because of their name.

Thats the excuse you need this week always excuses. ... The receptionist is the first person that makes the call on who gets hired. when you walk in the door of a business. If you have any job that deals with the public and pays well ... No McDonald workers. type of thing .. That tattoo on your neck with a gang sign ... well .. ... You seem to be very limited in your knowledge of what it takes to get hired in the kenyans new America. I hope you are not looking for employment...

i'm not sure what you're getting at, but i don't have any tattoos. i'm also employed. thanks for your concern.

i do know a great deal of people who have jobs, i'm sure you do as well. i don't know what excuse you think i'm making. my point was that tattoos are not an excuse as to not being able to get a job. and teaching and police work were the professions i was referring to, not fast food.

Google "Freddy's Fashion Mart" to learn more about the effects of Al Sharpton's race baiting. This man is an unspoken embarrassment on earth. The kind of uncle who gets invited to the party, but no-one really wants there. The fact the news even covers him is a sad testament to the lack of positive role models in the black community.

Google "Freddy's Fashion Mart" to learn more about the effects of Al Sharpton's race baiting. This man is an unspoken embarrassment on earth. The kind of uncle who gets invited to the party, but no-one really wants there. The fact the news even covers him is a sad testament to the lack of positive role models in the black community.

Do you have any involvement within the black community?

Freddy's Fashion Mart

Harlem, Dec. 8, 1995.

Roland James Smith, Jr., walked into Freddie’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store, and pulled out a gun. He ordered all the black customers to leave, doused several clothing bins with paint thinner, and lit them on fire.

Eight people died, including a black security guard—who had been labeled a “cracker lover” and “traitor” by protestors of the store—and Smith himself.

The months leading up to the massacre had been marked by increasingly clamorous protests. The most prominent leaders involved were Morris Powell, head of the local vendor’s association, and Al Sharpton.

The protests revolved around the eviction of the Record Shack, owned by Sikhulu Shange, an African American. The popular version of the story claimed that the Jewish owner of Freddie’s, Fred Harari, was evicting Shange because he was black. In fact, the original request for Shange’s eviction came not from Harari but from the owner of the building, the United House of Prayer, a black Pentecostal church. Harari was merely a tenant of the church, and Shange his subtenant. The reason for his eviction was entirely financial.

Seizing on the volatile moment, Sharpton and Powell rallied the protestors and deliberately fanned the racial flames.

On the street, Sharpton decried Harari as a “white interloper”:

"We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."

Copies of his angry protest made their ways to local black radio stations, WWRL, WLIB, and KISS.

Powell, likewise couched the situation in racial terms. At one rally, Powell declared,

"We are not going to stand idly by and let a Jewish person come in black Harlem and methodically drive black people out of business up and down 125th St. If we stand for that, we will stand for anything."

Over the following months, Harari experienced scores of protests and increasingly violent threats. The police department even felt it necessary to station uniformed officers at the pickets and opened an investigation into racial bias.

Near the end, one of the demonstrators reportedly said, "We're going to burn and loot the Jews."

Apparently Roland James Smith, Jr., took it upon himself to start the conflagration.

After the tragedy took place, Sharpton vehemently denied any responsibility for Smith’s actions, claiming Smith was a critic of his non-violent teaching, and downplaying his own involvement in the protests:

"People are trying to put me in the middle of this. I only came one time. I met with the people from the church. ... I was only there a matter of minutes. I was not the leader of this. I was only in support of Shange."

AUGUST, 1991 CROWN HEIGHTS , NEW YORK

A car driven by an Orthodox Jewish man, and part of a procession led by a police car, is struck by another vehicle causing it to veer onto the sidewalk, where it kills a seven-year-old Black boy named Gavin Cato. Fearing that the Jewish driver was about to be killed by the angry Black mob, a police officer summons a private Jewish ambulance to whisk the driver to safety. After being removed from under the car, the little boy, and his cousin Angela, are treated by a city ambulance which arrives soon after. Angela survives, but Gavin dies.

Fueled by Al Sharpton's false claim that the boy was left to die so that the driver could be taken away from the scene, Black mobs riot for four days. Black youths loot stores and beat Orthodox Jews in the street. As the mob chants, "Kill the Jew!" , a rioter named Lemrick Nelson stabs and kills Yankel Rosenbaum, a visiting student from Australia. After the murder, Sharpton continues to agitate in Crown Heights, marching with 400 protesters chanting, "No justice, no peace!"
