The Sisko

Pssst. I think that’s the point.

Agreed. I've long said that race/class aside, you can get your ass whipped or be shot if you catch the wrong cop on the wrong day and say the wrong thing. What's different is that upper/middle-class whites aren't profiled and hence are less likely to be stopped in the first place to allow this kind of behavior to happen more often.

Gotta keep that pipeline full. I don’t think anyone would argue the point but that’s just a convenient distractor. The real issue is whether this thug uses the same language and attitude when dealing with criminals of other racial/ethnic backgrounds. Let’s just say it’s highly unlikely. I haven’t had time to read the article yet but it does sound like the title of the article misrepresents the results of the “research” which seems to suffer from sampling/selection bias. However, the more troubling and telling part is that few of them were fired. Think about that for a second. People who have the power and discretion to stop someone simply because they want to and execute them on the spot for little or no reason are allowed to retain this kind of power after being outed as racists. FTP and the so-called justice system. All I want for Xmas this year is a few pairs of those socks Kaep was rockin.

Extreme weather is pummeling the Midwest, and farmers are in deep trouble Oh dear. This is truly tragic. Try to look on the bright side though. If that climate change thing was real and not just a Chinese hoax, they’d really be in trouble.

My apologies for the extra spacing in the above post. I'm not sure what happened with the formatting and unfortunately, the edit option isn't working for me....only on that post. That's odd.

In Israel, it's sorta the same thing... Well, they're not really anti-black, they're pro-Jewish. See, if the migrants were Jewish, they'd be welcomed with open arms, without respect to race. Oh, wait... So yeah, miss me with the holocaust stuff. For people, many of whom experienced it themselves or are descended from those who did to espouse the same type of garbage the Nazis did makes them worse than the KKK and even the Nazis themselves. I have no problems with Jewish people and obviously not every Israeli is racist, but as a whole, Israel is a disgusting apartheid state that deserves even more to be the international pariah that they are. The knee-jerk, blank check support from the bible thumpers for every Israeli policy, no matter how immoral is yet another reason we need to get special interests and their money out of our politics...and add more atheists to the population.

This was exactly what I was thinking about. I’ve seen that so many times on these vids that it’s nauseating. It’s so painfully obvious what they’re doing.

Lol. That “Sisqo” wasn’t The Sisko and all he was responsible for destroying was R & B.

Trolling With Attitude? I always called him Alvin Mutha****** Walton. He was da man! As for my handle...

So I’ve been doin’ it rong all this time?? lol. Welcome to pretty much every Black person’s existence in the US. I once had a co-worker say I walked like George Jefferson, followed by his version of that walk while saying something along the lines of “Weezy, I pitty the foo...” in his best Buckwheat voice. I would’ve pointed out that George Jefferson never sounded like Buckwheat and that he was mixing in Mr. T. but I didn’t want to be the overly sensitive angry Black man in the office.

I experienced this as an employee of one of the targets. It was as devastating to our operations as advertised. Our leadership was adamant pretty much from the beginning that we wouldn’t be paying any ransom. We never got our data back so maybe it did go down that way in our case. However, it would really suck for other victims to pay extra money to take a principled stand against criminals, only to have the ransom paid anyway.

Tyler Perry is the Larry the Cable Guy of Black people. He’s proved beyond all doubt that you can get very rich with zero acting skills and a formulaic appeal to the lowest common denominator of Black society. There’s nothing wrong with these people, but the fact that there are enough of them to make this kind of thing profitable while US natives make up only a small percentage of graduate degree students (AKA the ‘Muricun dumbening) is the core issue that’s concerning.

Lol. I’m surprised that somehow, none of them ever thinks to (easily) prove exactly how offensive and dangerous whiteface is by comparing White Chicks with the equally offensive and dangerous Birth of a Nation. It’s sort of like putting lawn jockeys up and saying you don’t see what the problem is because one of them was white. Blackface is offensive because of the historical baggage. White folks, please get back to us on the whiteface outrage after you go through a few hundred years of slavery, Jim Crow, buffoonish media stereotypes, and institutional racism. Buh bye.

IKR! Poor officer friendly. But unruly crowds and violence against cops isn’t a new thing ya know.

OK Pete, I’m going to respond one more time about this but I think we’re getting a bit off the topic of the thread. 1. Again, we don’t see all deaths as bad. Death after a well lived, longish life is OK. Sad, but normal. Early death before someone has had a chance to live and enjoy life or violent unnecessary death is tragic. I’m sure believers feel the same way, whether some of you will admit it or not. If you didn’t, you’d all kill yourselves right away in a bid to get to heaven ASAP. This is probably the real reason suicide is verboten in most religions. 2. "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." –Ephesians 6:18 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." –Philippians 4:6 And yet, god knows he’s going to not answer many, maybe most of these prayers. That’s sadistic, even bullying behavior in my book. 3. So god gives us free will, except when he doesn’t? Why doesn’t he choose to step in to stop a mass shooting for example, when I’m told he helps folks to catch touchdown passes and other such more important things? 4. This may be so. However, the limited omnipotence god isn’t the one that’s sold to people in the pews on Sunday and most definitely not when proselytizing.
