[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it had happened to a black man in Chicago the city would be on fire with rioting in the streets for three days[/quote]

Really?  It did happen in Chicago to several black men.  Didn't read much about it, did you?

[quote]Holmes, who eventually gave what he says was a false confession and was convicted of murder in 1973, is one of as many as 120 African-American men on Chicago’s South Side who were allegedly tortured by Burge between 1972 and 1991.

Jon Burge is a 66-year-old ex-police commander who is said to have overseen the torture of 118 Black men who were in Chicago police custody over 30 years ago. He walked out of federal prison today a free man after serving only three and a half years in a minimum security prison and his victims still want justice.

The Chicago police department operates an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site.

+1000....unfortunately, many posters on DCUM will disregard the torture of 118 Black men in police custody, at the hands of CPD, because the 118 victims of Jon Burge were AA males.  What's even worse is that if the actions of torturing people is as horrendous as it appear on this thread, then there should have been an equal amount of outrage from whites when the crimes of Jon Burge were revealed in the news.

PP is right. The real story here is [b]how racist whites are[/b]. [/quote]

Nope, that not the real story.  The real story is how whites aren't as outraged by the crimes of a white police officer and his underlings, in Chicago, systematically torturing 118 AA males and not a single word of outrage.  It has nothing to do with racism.  However, it has everything to do with selective outrage of some whites, depending on the ethnicity of the victim and perpetrator.  If it is truly about the actions of the perpetrator, then the whites who are outraged by the topic of this thread, should be equally so when the victim of similar actions aren't white.[/quote]

Uh, that story broke last year, and it all happened decades ago.  It was appalling.  There was the race aspect, but more awful was that it was police/state-sanctioned torture.

What does that have to do with this?  Nothing.[/quote]
