why is some murders different than any other? they are all done out of hate
I thought we were all Equal under the Law
this is dangerous to say some people are more special than others.
I'm starting to see your sides point. Did you see in Detroit this weekend a black guy shot 11 people killing 1. Not only are black people not up in arms and there is no talk of charging the guy with a hate crime...Not only that, none of the 400 people are even willing to talk to police. I thought black lives matter? I guess only if they are taken by a white man do black people even care when blacks are murdered. If its at the hands of another black, well that's alright.
And why should that black guy get any less time in jail than this guy in SC? Other than he only killed 1 person and the person he killed was probably in a rival gang. In other words, he didn't kill an innocent person. But what about the 10 people who got shot? They were innocent. And what about the 400 witnesses? They are not innocent IMO. They are accomplices to murder. If I were a cop I would never worry about the people in that neighborhood. Someone got shot and it's past dark? We will send someone out in the morning to clean up the mess.
Oh, and to flip back to my liberal position. You white racists are not only responsible for the white shooter, you are the reason why black society is the way it is. It wasn't like one day you made slavery illegal and the next you were hiring blacks, letting them live in your neighborhoods and go to your schools. It isn't like the day after slavery things were all better for black people. Black society today is the result of us treating them like 2nd class citizens. Hell, 3rd class citizens. And instead of putting jobs in the hood we put them in Mexico, China and India.
We could solve this problem in a generation if you whites would stop being such racists.
we whites conservatives have nothing to do with the current state of black society.
other than the blame for Free TRade sending jobs to china, i will give you that one.
we can't even discuss any of the issues of black america without getting dogpiled.
the one thing I would disagree with you on is that white conservatives have nothing to do with the current state of Black society? are you unaware of the subject like white privilege? GOP policies are anti middle class and poor and a lot of those poor people are black ie GOP policies are racist if they hurt the majority of a certain race. But I think GOP policies hurt poor and middle class people too. To them we're all niggas. and there are plenty of rich gay and black Republicans. the only thing that matters in the GOP is money they just use wedge issues to divide us.
unless you are suggesting that the GOP is the best party for everyone? for the poor, middle class and Rich? Really? So this should be a one party country?
you are operating under the theory of disparate impact, ie that is a policy has a disproportionate impact on a certain group that that is proof it is racist.
and that is simply not true.
intent is required for racism.
Free Trade is something we agree on.
the gop is led by Free Trade ideologues.
but they are not for Free TRade because they want to hurt blacks, they are for Free Trade because, in theory, they believe it should be the best policy for everyone.
i used to be a Free TRade ideology, but time and events demonstrated to me that it was not working in the real world as theory predicted it should. i still don't know if that is an error with the very idea, of it is being poorly implemented in the real world.
regardless, this policy is NOT serving american interest at this time, and i believe it should be dropped.
now, when i was a free trader was i out to harm blacks?
no.
my best friend who is still a free trader, is he one so as to harm blacks? no.
have i changed my position in order to benefit blacks, who would be disproportionately benefited by an increase in manufacturing employment?
no.
the gop leadership is wedded to free trade because they believe it will benefit americans as a whole.
and many of the gop who are middle class or even lower, believe that too.
and to be fair, i know amerians who do benefit from it.
imo, you would do better to argue against the policy on it's merits, or lack of merits,
instead of trying to make it a racial issue.
because it is a bad policy, but not a racist policy.
and when you incorrectly accuse a Free TRader of being a racist, all you are doing is insulting him with a term he does not deserve.
and pissing him off.
