double down racism

Last edited Sat Aug 4, 2018, 10:18 AM - Edit history (1)

just because of the incarceration demographics and NO all AA in prison DO NOT deserve to be there. Incarcerated for skin colour only related to a victimless crime, shoplifting, very small amounts of marijuana, cocaine where the white gets rehab, the AA with the same non-existent criminal record is going to prison, DWB, LWB, SleepingWB in the wrong college space for some white people, EWB too much for some white people at an alleged 'liberal' college in Massachusetts https://www.theroot.com/all-i-did-was-be-black-smith-college-employee-calls-co-1828062354, and speaking back to Massa, I could go on and on and I won't.

Mo' money into the coffers of the predatory capitalists and their system of gross usury.

This person should be there paying for his goddamn e-mails but is not. Here's a case of affluenza for you and white privilege and entitlement getting in the way of a crime that included murder. And no I do not to this day understand black on black crime, especially killing over some gang rationale yet whites do it JUST AS MUCH to whites, Hispanics do it JUST AS MUCH to Hispanics, Asian do it JUST AS MUCH to Asians, even First-Americans do it JUST AS MUCH to First Americans, women do it JUST AS MUCH to women, children do it to children, so I guess it's a human problem along with an added insult of racial and cultural racism and bigotry/prejudice coloring(no pun intended) the justification of the underlying systemic, institutional and judicial racist problems BS that amerika will never solve, it seems .

You'll never get that particular contingent of folks to ever look behind the numbers to see what the real deal is about anything. It's why they keep cheering on welfare reform and other shit that will eventually hurt them more than the people they have it out for.

Rich, white, legal adult = "Terrell should not be judged for being 'opened minded' about having friends from different backgrounds who might 'walk a different path...'"

Lesson learned: affluenza erases crimes

good jobs, and livable neighborhoods, they are forced into a black market economy that is by definition violent. There were Jewish gangs fighting each other, and Irish gangs fighting each other, and Italian gangs fighting each other back when those groups were marginalized. When you are judged by the color of your skin, it is that much harder to break into mainstream society. We need to address underlying causes. Conservatives don't believe in "underlying causes."
