And because that’s what the media wants, if it was a 180 to the other end of the political spectrum they wouldn’t have reported on it at all.

 

I just hate double standards, and people that see every single issue the same way politically. It just shows me that they’re stupid, if you have an open mind it’s imposssible to be on the same side every time. Anyone capable of thinking for themselves will formulate their own opinions and not always follow in lockstep.

why can't someone be a vegan that's pro LGBTQ also be against abortion?  that would seem to be logical, for the rights of humans and animals... but if you're pro lgbtq in this country you're pigeonholed as democrat/liberal so you are supposed to be for abortion.

 

and if you're "conservative"/republican you're supposed to be in favor of churches, yet also in favor of shooting animals for sport.  that doesn't seem very christian does it?

I have not seen a whole lot of thought about the issues raised by Kaepernick. I think you resemble your own remark.

i'm neither conservative/republican nor liberal/democrat... they all suck for the most part

 

but i am pro police, and the issues he raised were for the most part stupid, cops make split second decisions with their lives in danger... they're not perfect but they are right way more often than not

 

cops are here to serve and protect, and if the people they are protecting do nothing but criticize and march against their protection, what is the end game?  the neighborhoods that vendors/delivery people/etc don't want to go into keep getting worse with no police willing to go there

You are white and don't like blacks. That is why all whites love the police. 

 

Blacks do not love the police and for good reason. Police are racists. There a very large amounts of white supremacists in the police as can be seen on any police board. They are also crooked and cannot be held accountable. Any police department will lie to protect even dirty cops. 

 

They just did it in Chicago and were exonerated as they always are.

communism/socialism just drags everyone down to the lowest common denominator

 

where they whine and blame other people for their problems WHILE NOT FUCKING GETTING A JOB OR BEING A DAD

 

why is a lack of education, skills, work ethic all the fault of others?

 

anyone with a work ethic in this country can have a decent life if they get off their ass and quit blaming others for the fact that they sit around smoking pot all day and stealing shit

My one racial cop story was walking home from park in HS with two black friends after shooting hoops. Cops stop car and start questioning aggressively until they saw me walk in view and then they talked directly to me until being on their way.

 

My friends said they'd have been harassed if I wasn't there and that it was commonplace.

generalize much?

 

i love the blacks in my neighborhood, i don't love the black guy that stabbed me or the ones that robbed me, or the one that killed my friend

 

what makes some police racist?  maybe getting shot at by blacks all the time when they are trying to help?

or are they just jealous that black guys are better dancers and have bigger dicks  :laugh

I agree for the most part, but there are places where the conditions are rough, thereby making upward mobility next to impossible.

 

It's possible to see the macro n micro level conditions and seek to help communities.

 

Agree that blame is a cop-out excuse sometimes but there are also real reasons to help understand what's going on.

 

Fine line and nuanced, but still, as a country we should try to lift our people where n when we can within reason.

totally agree, and i tried to help for decades

 

but when you try "trickle up economics" by giving to the bottom end (whether it's white/black/green/etc) all they do is destroy what you have given... never building anything or developing anything... and my tons of time and energy delivering food and doing tax returns was almost never even given a simple "thank you" so eventually why bother helping people that have no intention of helping themselves

No, military and police attracts racists and always has. It is the nature of work that attracts both.

 

The bigger problem for police is that American are now enemy combatants which is the results of the Iraq War. More Americans have died because of the response to 911 than died in 911.

almost half the us military is black/hispanic, are they racist?

 

35% of milwaukee's police force is black, are they racist?  maybe you only have a 65% chance of getting that white privilege?

They don't have anything to build with. Many black areas do not even have a grocery store. White America's virulent hatred of blacks has had its impact.

the lack of retail in black communities has nothing to do with a hatred of blacks

 

it has to do with getting robbed over and over again... even the lowe's near me closed because more stuff was walking out the door than being sold

 

someone even freaking stole my sandwich from subway, anything that isn't nailed down!   :laugh
