[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.

Can I talk to you privately, White person to White person? You sound like a total jackash. I think it comes from a place of ignorance, but that’s not an excuse in this day and age. You have the internet and library access, if you can’t afford books on your own. We all of us survived day to day life, that which was natural and normal in its place and was not[i] done to[/i] us, but just happened. Slavery, a 400 year long condition of complete ownership over people’s bodies and lives (and minds and spirit, to the extent that the owners could manage it), was [i]done to[/i] Black people. For generations. And it’s not like the cruelty stopped in 1865.

The exact same cruelty is still happening. And you’re excusing it.

So what you do is you pick an area of interest, and you find a book about it. Do you like gardening? Read about Black farmers and the challenges they have faced and face.
Here’s one that focuses on the years 1940-1974. https://www.amazon.com/Dispossession-Pete-Daniel/dp/1469622076/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Black+farmers&qid=1618079176&sr=8-2 
Here’s an artsy, photographic book if that’s more your speed: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Farmers-America-Francis-Ficara/dp/0813123992/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Black+farmers&qid=1618079176&sr=8-7
Like sports? Read a book about the Negro Leagues. 
https://www.amazon.com/Shades-Glory-Leagues-African-American-Baseball/dp/1426200331/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Negro+leagues&qid=1618079318&sr=8-2
The Negro Leagues Were Major Leagues: https://www.amazon.com/Negro-Leagues-Were-Major-Historians/dp/1476665141/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=Negro+leagues&qid=1618079318&sr=8-10

And then you learn. And you don’t say stupidly offensive stuff like you wrote. [/quote]

Lol

Seriously.

Slavery in 1865 is the same as "racism" today?  Outside your window somewhere there is a real world where the earth revolves around the sun, not racism.
