[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

But, who is doing the lynching today?

Last year, over 2,000 blacks were murdered by other blacks.[/quote]

Dear white antagonist,

I understand it's innate for you to mount an opposition to anything and everything blacks say about racial disparities regarding the criminal justice system as it is imperative for blacks to stay "down" in order for you to retain your precious white privilege, however, the argument that excessive force and unfair treatment by law enforcement officials is somehow reasonable or something that should be tolerated because of "black-on-black" crime is a poor and pathetic argument.  "White-on-white" crime is rampant among Caucasians with over 80% of whites being killed by other whites but that doesn't justify your rights as a citizen to be infringed upon does it?  You still have the right to not be tackled choked beaten pistol-whipped or shot unnecessarily even when suspected of a crime and placed under arrest.  The same rights should extend to non-whites as this is a democracy and just because a man has melanin in his skin that doesn't automatically open the door for authorities to treat him any differently.  Are you suggesting that James Blake deserved to be brought down with such force despite not posing a threat and despite not putting up any resistance, that simply because a lot of blacks kill blacks and James Blake is black that warranted his being treated like that?  Is that justice?  [/quote]

Not the PP you are responding to - the only thing that seems innate in these threads is your apparent need to constantly make race the reason and whites the blame for anything and everything that befalls blacks.  YES, there is white on white crime, as you have reminded us a million times.  But the difference is that whites acknowledge it, and don't automatically blame blacks for every instance of white on white crime, and don't automatically blame blacks and racism for every bad thing to happen to whites - whereas you seem hell bent to blame whites and racism for every bad thing to happen to blacks.  Again, more whites have been shot by cops, and more whites have been victims of police brutality than blacks have, including whites being victims of brutality at the hands of black cops - but the difference is that we don't AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME RACISM EACH AND EVERY FUCKING TIME the way you do.[/quote]
