The only proof is that Rush said it. And like the Old Testament God - because he said it, it became truth.

what did rush say? and how did he manage to form a sentence while comatose from all the oxy?

You posted a meme that implied there was something about blacks that is inherently violent. If that's not what you intended then perhaps a solution would be to post something amounting to your own opinion.

I apologize if my posting of a pic offended anyone. I have seen several others posting such, so I thought it was the norm on this forum.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

If it doesn't reflect your actual opinion then perhaps posting it and letting it stand on its own isn't the best of ideas.

Fairness is;

Shipping at Walmart without being killed

Being a kid with a toy gun, playing on the playground without being killed

Getting your wallet for the police without being shot

Being arrested with being cooked together

Being stopped by the police, comply, without being kicked in the face

Being an off duty officer, call and report a robbery and not get killed by fellow chips because you are black versus the perp is white

Shall I continue about fairness?

Please stand down, I'll take it from here.

If you're going to address the point, sure.

I got you.

Janelle is pointing out the stark difference in which how people are viewed. Black people throughout history have rioted when an injustice has happened. Watts in the 60's and Rodney King in the 90's. And now, because of police brutality and inequality that plagues black neighborhoods. I don't condone violence and destruction of property, but as a black man whose seen, heard, and even lived just a smidgen of it, I understand why people feel the need to tear up stuff. They're tired of seeing the rules play out differently for them. I'm pretty even tempered and I still get a bit heated when I see a black person mistreated by police or even when we kill each other. Just this year, I've seen many men and women brutalized and murdered on camera, and yet the police rarely if ever get convicted of the crime.

White people who riot for sports or just because they can are called drunk kids who are letting off steam. Black people who riot due to police brutality are called thugs and animals. There shouldn't be a difference between the two, but when you interject color into the mix, the outcome demands it.

My point wasn't at all about how people are viewed or treated based on their skin color. My point was simply that the rioting that both you and Janelle have used to claim that white folks riot too are simply not the same. There is a difference between the two, with or without color being interjected. If it was white folks that rioted in Ferguson/Baltimore and black folks that rioted in the pumpkin patch, my view would still be the same.

Tell me if you can hear the crying child in the background.

I don't think Janelle was talking about you at first. ROY was posting the meme. And sadly, I've seen that if the above was true, we'd still be called thugs. And the white people rioting for Ferguson would be called activists. Not from you, but that's the breaks.

Now that I'm on my laptop, I'll clear up my mistakes.

Fairness is;

Shopping at Walmart without being killed
Being a kid with a toy gun, playing on the playground without being killed
Getting your wallet for the police without being shot
Being arrested without being choked to death
Being stopped by the police, comply, without being kicked in the face
Being an off duty officer, call and report a robbery and not get killed by fellow cops because you are black versus the perp is white

It would be akin to taking pride in anything related to the defeated confederate states, or any of its symbols, in a war that happened some 150 years ago... And yet, there are some who do.... Go figure!

You mean the same way you often imply that non-blacks are responsible for the treatment of blacks in the US? That somehow, because there were slaves 150 years ago, all whites today are responsible and owe something to all blacks?

My post in no way implied that ANY black member on this forum is responsible for any rioting or looting. I am sure all the folks here are fine, moral, law-abiding citizens who care more for what goes on in their country and don't waste much time worrying about the goings-on in other countries.
