[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This idiot failed repeatedly to follow basic commands. The cops did sctew up at times ny giving conflicting commands.[/quote]

He was pepper sprayed while calmly sitting in his car, with his hands outside the window, just after asking why he was being detained. That is indefensible. [/quote]

He had been sitting there arguing with the cops for a good long while by that point.

He had every opportunity to not be an idiot,  and at each decision point chose idiot.

If you don't want a tense confrontation with the cops, obey directions,  don't argue,  don't resist.   [/quote]

They gave him no reason for approaching him. They just started barking orders in the most aggressive way possible. You clearly are white, aren't you?[/quote]

I think we definitely need to find more ways to introduce race into this.  [b]After all, isn't everything about race[/b]?[/quote]

Yes, yes it is. Every single institution in this country is built on the foundation of white supremacy/superiority and it's time to dismantle oppressive institutional, systemic racism.[/quote]

:roll:

Of course everything, everyone,  everywhere,  racist.

It is amazing you have survived this long in such a horrible racist place.[/quote]

My ancestors survived hundreds of years of slavery so yes I have survival in my blood. [/quote]

There is nobody alive today whose ancestors didn't survive many trials that they might not have.

My ancestors hunted mammoths with stone tipped spears, and I often deal with traffic on my way to the grocery store. We all face our own trials in our own times I guess.

This is the whitest response I've ever heard. My ancestors hunted wild animals as well because it was simply before technology but that's not hundreds of years of slavery. You're white so your ancestors did not go through that, mine did and relatiely recently than hunting mammoths.

I also cannot believe you are comparing slavery and Jim Crow to hunting for food and car traffic. White people intentionally dumb themselves down when discussing racism and racial bias, it's so embarassing. [/quote]

You actually came pretty close on the analogy,  so credit where due I guess.

The hunting mammoths part was slavery.

Driving to the store in traffic is the modern "racism" you are surviving.

See how it works?  You said your ancestors survived slavery.  My ancestors hunted mammoths.  That is the parallel.

The modern part is traffic,  and "systemic racism. "

Get it now?
