[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mistake...yeah...

The officer, James Frascatore, who is white, is a defendant in two federal lawsuits filed earlier that allege excessive force in separate incidents.

Last year, Frascatore was named in an amended complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn alleging he and seven other officers and sergeants beat and unlawfully arrested a man in a Queens deli in May 2013.

The officer is named in a complaint filed in May alleging that officers used excessive force against a man named Warren Diggs for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk in 2013.
That's not a mistake...
That's a frigging pattern.[/quote]

"Who is white" - yet with the name "Frascatore" his grandfather would not have been able to rent an apartment or buy a house in many neighborhoods in America in the 1950s.[/quote]

Right, and in the 1950's James Blake would have been hanging from a tree with a crowd of cheering white onlookers taking pictures of his bloody and burned carcass to make postcards for their friends and family.  But it's not the 1950's we're in the 21st century try and keep up with the here and now.  Officer Frascatore is now just a guy whereas James Blake evidently in some respects is still relegated to the second class citizenship of n#gger.[/quote]

Apparently in your pursuit of trying to one-up everyone else you missed the fact that one of the biggest cases of lynching in the US was when 11 Italian immigrants were indiscriminately rounded up en masse and murdered by a mob in New Orleans in 1899.  But to you anyone not black is white, all whites are evil, and blacks are the only victims, and it's all about white vs. black and nothing else.  Yep, got it.[/quote]

Quite the contrary, to me anyone willfully ignorant of the injustices that still exist today in this country which are deeply ro in racism or who determinedly denies the fact that discrimination that still exists today in this country which are deeply rooted in racism is not evil but sick, and if you are so delusional that the only racism and discrimination you're willing to accept or admit are the "reverse" forms so that you can lay sole claim to victimhood well then you are one sick puppy.
I have no interest in going tit-for-tat with anyone about which groups experienced how much suffering XX number of years ago but since you brought it up, in 1919 the NAACP published "Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889-1918."  This report indicated that 3,224 people were lynched in the thirty-year period.  Of these, 702 were white and 2,522 black.
