Black Lives Matter, Racism: A Conservative Perspective (Larry Elder Interview)

[OriZ 3,157]

your interpretation of 'they' has no bearing on the video you posted entitled 'the hood..blahblahblah', unless this is your video. is it?

i have very little patience for those who do not respect the first amendment as an integral part of democracy. if america ever wants to have a functioning democracy again, we'll need to stop lumping protesters - even protesters who say things like 'pigs in a blanket' etc in with those who make the decision to murder a police officer. these actions are no where near equivalent.

i posted an article yesterday of a blm group and local cops getting together for a bbq, and honestly, this is the reality of what there is 'quite a few' of. people who want and understand the necessity of le and community working together.

Is it my video? lol no...round here we don't do that kinda stuff. We've had police-community bbqs long before any of this started. There is mutual respect that I think should be in every state.

As far as the first amendment goes, nobody respects it more than I do. You do realize though, that incitement IS against the law?

[OriZ 3,157]

BTW going on about the first amendment is deflection because that is not what I was talking about. I wasn't referring to what they are or aren't allowed to do, I was referring to how the average joe sees this. I don't see a whole lot of difference between those who call for it and those who do it. Neither would have my sympathy, and I doubt it's different for most average people(not those who are already in the anti-police camp)

look it the title 'the hood turns on police' so divisive.

Truth. Thr hood did turn on the police.

define 'the hood'

and watch where you step.

Who came up with the term hood.

Remember a movie name Boyz in the Hood

I don't think white folks made it

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Ummm, NO. Just no. What they are DOING is divisive. The title is simply accurate.

I guess you'd prefer: "Local community attempts to help officer succeed in lowering his 200-yard-dash run time"???

One BBQ that shows harmony. That's a good thing, admittedly. But compared to the 100+ videos of "they" inciting violence, spewing hatred and racism, and overal discord, your one video pales in comparison. When there are a greater amount of said BBQ videos sponsored by blm (or at least attended by actual blm members), then you can say you are right, and argue that the above video isn't reality.

Trouble is, it IS reality, just not something you want to admit to, because then the very fabric of your arguments becomes frayed and torn, and you don't like that.

You refusing to watch the video is similar to the ostrich putting his head in the sand to avoid danger. Pretending not to see what is in front of you by no means causes it to vanish. The video above is real, and it is happening with a frightening frequency.

Can someone cut to the chase and define

"THEY" in this thread.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Well, I cannot speak for others, but when I used the term, I was referring to people who did thuggish things like in the above video where they were attacking the officer. People who think we should kill cops. Or any group, for that matter.

An additional example, if it helps: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/603077-4-suspects-at-large-after-attempted-assassination-of-nypd-cops-in-brooklyn/

prove it. imo you're only parroting what your media overlords want you to think and be very afraid of there's no substance here. i can show you stats showing how violence toward police has been in the decline for some time. you'd never accept it because you're filling your brain with youtube videos that a slanted to fit nicely into your personal fear.

for you, youtube search white guy fight police..ostrich up here lookin around for yah. about 3,700,000 results so this should keep you busy.

obvious to me.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

You refuse to watch a video, then denigrate it and those who post it, THEN try to talk about a lack of substance? That's quaint.
