That statement right there is wrong. Just to name a few though: Nathan Phillips being in D.C. for a veterans demonstration; Sandmann harassing Phillips; the Covington students chanting "Build that wall"; Michael Brown being shot for jaywalking; Michael Brown being shot for shoplifting; Michael Brown being shot for being black; Michael brown being shot for smoking dope; Michael Brown being shot for being a fan of Hannah Montana.
The last one, not really. But you've said all these things at one time or another and every one is patently false.
I just don't gobble down the hate radio bullshit like you do. NOW STAY ON TOPIC>
"Hate radio bullshit"? What hate radio bullshit would that be?
It has everything to do with your point. You already said that he had been unjustly tried six times for the same crime but according to double jeopardy laws, legally speaking, they were justified.
I never said anything about Double Jeopardy.
I know you didn't. But I did. *
shrug*
I do question why they keep trying him over and over again on such flimsy evidence. No forensics, no witnesses.
I don't know. Hopefully we'll find out what really happened that day.
This is one of the things I'm talking about. You ascribe an assumed racial motive to Thomas' decision. You have no evidence or enough knowledge about Thomas to suggest that he just wanted to hang the "uppity negro".
You mean other than 40 years of watching this guy suck up to white people?
Define "sucking up to white people". You know what, forget it. I don't care what you think of as sucking up to white people because I know you well enough by now to know it'll just be a lot anecdotal biased bullshit.
What I will say though is that it never occurs to people like you that the blacks you call sellouts just might have their own reasons for doing what they do that has nothing to do with whites. It is arrogant presumption and an insult to assume that any black person that has a different idea or opinion about something is only trying to please white people.
Not to mention the fact that every justice on the Supreme Court that voted differently than Thomas was white. If he was trying to ingratiate himself with whites then he went about it in the stupidest way possible.
Are these "sensible people" the same ones who wished a lynching on a minor for smiling?
You have never been concerned with the topic so don't hand me that shit. Your only reason for coming here is to piss off conservatives.
Most people thought Sandman was a punk who needed to be bitchslapped.
And most of those people had no ******* clue what really happened that day. A lot of them changed their tune when the second video came out. Besides, the rhetoric flying around at that time was calling for actions that were quite a bit more harsh than bitchslapping.
A Disney executive posted a pic of the woodchipper scene from the movie
Fargo and captioned it: "
MAGAKids go screaming, hats first, into the woodchipper." A freelance reporter was fired from his job for tweeting that the Covington kids and their parents needed "to die". The school had to close for a time because of death threats and threats of violence against Sandmann, the school and his family.
Do not pretend that you were not fully aware of these threats.
Bitchslapping is not a lynching.
Neither is putting someone on trial.
