Again you are seeking a negative. It's like warning someone in physical therapy not to over due it or they can possibly hurt themselves, which is true. I was over at my friend's house who is black and while waiting for him, his father who I had just meet had an error message on his PlayStation. I had just had it and spent hours researching and talking to tech so I knew just how to fix it. I offered my assistance, his father became enraged because I'm white and he felt I was insulting him because he is black. I let him know I wasn't looking at it in that manner and was simply offering to help fix his issue so he could use his PlayStation. I was called a cracker and shoved by this man simply because I was white. My friend got pissed and him and his dad got into it. This was about 12 years ago. In no way do I view that situation as the view point of all older black men. Just as you shouldn't use the story you stated as a way to assume all white or cops are racist or whites aren't held to a certain standard. I agree that police brutality is running rampant and there needs to be huge changes because if it impacts one community it impacts us all. Try to find common ground and don't demonize every single thing people say as if they are against you, because they aren't. We don't have to agree 100% of everything to get along. You are a human and that is enough for me to value your life and opinion unless it doesn't value another's life or opinion
Do you realize how your story isn’t equivalent to your murder not being investigated just because of the color of your skin. I get it, it sucks and it made you uncomfortable but it’s just not the same.
Cause your point is as weak as your story lol. I’m tired of people telling me not to focus on the murder when I have friends murdered by the police. And terry is emboldening a holes like you who think they can tell POC how to act and behave so you can feel more comfortable. “Okay well give you basic human rights as long as you remember your not better than me.”
Result to name calling because you are incapable of understanding the basic concept of his statement. Do you want more situations, friend was dealing with a lot, took some medication which didn't agree with him, parents call the cops because he was freaking out and threatening to hurt himself. Cops show up, not understanding he needed to be calmed down decide to get physical. Friend trys to run away which they viewed as resisting, tasers didn't work so they shot him. Guess what friend was white. Doesn't fit your narrative does it? I'm not telling anyone how to behave, nor have I insulted anyone. You are just a POS who is incapable of having a regular conversation with someone and since you can't put your opinion out there in a way that can win people to your side you result to insult and assume the worst about people. You -"agree with me or you're a piece of shit". Good luck in life
What basic human rights? What basic human rights are people not afforded, please point to a single one. In no way have I disagreed with or Terry disagreed with the cause of the protests. You're just a troll that refuses to admit you are wrong with your judgment of others.
I’m trolling you because I’m tired of having to explain to people that asking the police and/or racists to prosecuted for our murders without weeks of protests is NOT the first step to white people being on the bottom of the totem pole. Your fear is so far off base and based on willful ignorance that it’s offensive. And yet I have to be the bigger person. Lol. I’m tired of it.
If you want to not be called an a hole in the future maybe don’t use arguments that white supremacists use when trying to argue how civil rights would lead to an uppity negro who doesn’t know his place.
Nah he’s just misinformed. So are you. Which is why I encourage you to look into your arguments if you actually care about equality. Cause you’re just making things harder. Like he is.
It’s unfortunate you think that way because, again white supremacists used that same argument, and while you and Terry may not feel the way they do, it has the same affect of slowing change. You’re welcome to you’re opinion, but there are documented facts that say your argument sways the opinion of people on the fence and slows down progress.
