Apparently this thread has ran it's course.

 

What? It's a parody song. I thought those were fine.

A lot of things contribute to making that gap wider...my whole point is if Sharpton can't be blamed for what others do around him, why should the guests at this party be blamed for a song they might not have known was going to be played?

 

:lol2:

 

Sharpton IS blamed for what others do around him. :lol2:

He's defended here by some.

Not really but okay. If you say so.

Hopefully those guests got up and left.

Whether or not I left would depend on how much money I spent to be there. Then again I'm not offended easily.

I would never put money before character. To each their own.

I think the vast majority of people the concept that there is a difference.

 

I would disagree with the "vast majority" comment.

 

We simply disagree on this subject.

So is

Pants Up, Don't Loot

I don't infer. I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'm going to tell you how I feel. I never said the song was racist. I made an analogy and even explained what I meant with the analogy. You brought in your own opinion and tried to say what I said and you were wrong.

Ok, so you don't infer, yet you were the only one who made it about race when you made the Sharpton comment and that is why several of us thought you thought the song was racist. If you didn't then that is fine and correct. Just wonder why you would bring up a racist saying if that is t the case is all.

 

You ever play that game where someone says a word and you say the first thing that pops in your head? It's a very telling way of seeing how people think and the first thing out in that post was a racist comment made so I took it as you thought the song was racist because you compared it to another very racist saying by a race baiter. That is why I thought you thought the parody song was racist. Sorry for thinking that but you do understand why now I hope.

Like I said earlier, it was bad analogy on my part.

Those in attendance may not have been able to stop the song, may not have known that the song was going to be sung... but anyone there who didn't condemn the song is part of the problem. Anyone who reads those lyrics and doesn't denounce them is part of the problem. The rap songs mentioned are part of the problem. Sharpton's intentional words designed to escalate the hate are part of the problem. The riots don't justify lyrics like these. Two wrongs principle applies.

There is no place for celebrating the death of this man. Even if you believe he was completely wrong and made choices that cost him his life, it is tragic and nothing to be celebrated or made fun of. Especially by anyone who has anything to do with serving and protecting. There is a level of professionalism and integrity that comes with the badge.

The lyrics are disgusting.
