Question #1

 

I still think there are some in here who still think this hasn't been blown up into what the media wanted to make it and that is a race thing.

 

(I myself don't think the killing was a racist shooting but the media turned it into just that) Then why would they bring in the Black Panthers?

I am skeptical that the shooting was racially motivated but it is clear that the media chose to focus on the race angle from among various plausible scenarios.

 

The Trayvon Martin shooting provided a big shot in the arm for cable news ratings, and the networks immediately framed this shooting as Trayvon II - even worse because a non-Hispanic white police officer did the shooting.

Why would who bring the New Black Panther Party? I assumed they chose to show up on their own.

I think you are correct.

I am sure that you are right. It is a recruiting trip for them.

It's amazing that the kid with him lied for his version of the story. So now there's a witness that says he didn't get

shot in the back with his hands up. Kind of figured that would happen.

I admit I have only partially followed this thing, but in the video is the kid face down in the streets of project housing?

The KKK is an extremely racist organization and the New Black Panther Party is an extremely racist organization. You will not see me defending true racists, regardless of their skin color. The presence of racists like Al Sharpton, the Nation of Islam, and the New Black Panther Party are not constructive.

 

For someone who whines and complains about racism a lot, you sure do love to play the race card at every possible turn. I bet at least half of your posts in this thread have you calling somebody else racist. Not sure what that means, but I've heard stories and I've heard fables …

If you want to refute my charge that the New Black Panther Party is a racist organization, then please do so. If I recall correctly, you often disparage certain communities for being overly tolerant of the KKK. Is there a double standard at work here?

I misunderstood then. I thought someone said they were called in.

Nope. My comments were not made in defense of any of those organizations. I simply find it interesting that you complain to an incredible degree about blacks "playing the race card" when I would bet that a word search on this site would find you using the word "racist" more than anybody else, and by a big margin.

So, you don't dispute the accuracy of my assertions, you just object to me pointing out the double standard of liberals' tolerance of racism among blacks and whites. Is that correct?

He might use liberals more.

In my experiences and observations, i usually believe this to be true---Those who say they aren't racist, usually are; and those who call out and accuse others of being racist--usually are.

He might use liberals more.

 

Could be a closet libbie, lashing out against his pain.
