White people who fantasized about being the heroes in their own white savior narratives, are very uncomfortable with the idea that a white savior, real or fictional, is also racist. It shines a little too much light on their motivations.<br /><br /><br /><br />@Anonymous 8:22P - I've seen, and protested, at least five Klan rallies. In the north. In the past 25 years.

Freddie Gray dies in the back of a police van and it took a riot to get those murderers in blue indicted. Almost every day on the web you can find a videotape of some cop threatening or brutalizing a black person with no fear of department retribution. Remember the Bastrop TX cop body slamming a 14 year old girl at a pool party? What these thugs in blue seem NOT to want to do is serve the public with honor.uptownstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833584924105820304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-805540244185524452015-07-14T15:54:48.310-04:002015-07-14T15:54:48.310-04:00"the more things change the more they stay th..."the more things change the more they stay the same and stuff."<br /><br />Nature will not be denied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-21448184245502646842015-07-14T15:45:10.299-04:002015-07-14T15:45:10.299-04:00No matter the decade, the most violent places in ...No matter the decade, the most violent places in this country will still be controlled by Democrats and have majority blah populations.<br /><br />the more things change the more they stay the same and stuff.Joder La Resistenciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982440244234443056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-71177363854437502572015-07-14T15:44:45.491-04:002015-07-14T15:44:45.491-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joder La Resistenciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982440244234443056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-19292239032188513432015-07-14T15:31:18.258-04:002015-07-14T15:31:18.258-04:00uptownsteve said...

Use the DOJ to threaten imprisonment and/or career termination of any cop who is involved with an altercation with a black person. When cops rationally avoid altercations with black people, accuse them of not doing their job as a pretext for asserting more central government control.Saul Alinskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-2698875085302960782015-07-14T15:26:51.899-04:002015-07-14T15:26:51.899-04:00So, PilotX was a criminal.

There kids now ain't got nothing on us. Thankfully things are much better and should remain so. Now that we have a President that recognizes sentences are out of whack with crime and when people fulfill their obligations they need to be reintegrated into society with full voting rights and value as a citizen. That will go a long way at lowering crime because for some folks the underground economy is the only option.
