Non-white cop shoots and kills unarmed white man
Offline As we have spoken previously and as I have attempted to research, why is it that the media has an issue with using the term "black cop shoots white man"? I've checked the media reports and you don't find it. The media avoids it.

Oh believe me, there are millions of whites who aren't racist but still see racism as a problem, but not in the order that you do.

You know Brian, Hispanics will eventually become the dominant ethnic group in America. Our culture has already manifested many of these changes and will continue to do so. Funny thing is that they quite frequently express racist attitudes againt blacks. ( They even discriminate against the full-blooded indians from their home countries because they consider them to be beneath them ) The big difference is that when they take the reigns of power from the "whites" the Hispanics can't be guilt-tripped by blacks into caving in to the "NO JUSTICE-NO PEACE" crowd. Hispanics had nothing to do with slavery, Jim Crow laws or any of that shit. In Los Angeles the traditionally black neighborhoods are already being pushed out by the huge influx of immigrants and this transition isn't going over so well with the blacks. Apparently the hispanic response is something along the lines of "tough shit."

What makes you think I would not address that. The demographic is chaning, because migration in evolution has always happend.
My x wife who is Japanese hates being confused with Koreans. My Purto Rican former co worker hated being confused with Mexicans.
That still does not change our current climate. Still does not change ratio wise who is affected the most right now.

This does not change the lopsided ratio that blacks are more likely to be pulled over even when doing nothing wrong. Will be charged more severely than whites even if they make it safely to the back of a police car. And cops are more likely to kill blacks in a confrontation than whites.
I have done stupid shit as a teen myself, things that if cops had seen should have put me in jail. I have seen assaults between whites where no one gets charged. I have seen videos of armed people who do not end up dead.
Instead of posting stuff trying to prove blacks are making it an issue, if we as a society want to get to the point where it really is not an issue, than pretending that blacks are making it up and it is all in their heads, face that it is an issue instead of blaming blacks.

"They do it too" is not an argument. When one makes that argument it means that person is in denial of their own bias.

What biases are you in denial of Brian ? Oh, you're left wing so you can't be prejudiced.
Put that in context. Yes blame whites, blame the racists, and blame whites who are not racist but think it is not a problem.
I think it is reasonable that all sides want race to not be an issue. My problem with people who are not racist are the ones who don't want to face it is an issue. You do not solve problems by pretending they do not exist. Only a fool thinks race is not an issue. And only an fool blames the those affected by it instead of blaming the people doing it.
Same stupid mentality I get from liberal theists and atheists when I blaspheme bigots who use religion to condemn sexism and racism and homophobia. Don't get angry at me for getting angry at the right people, get angry at the right people.

In fairness to the media, most police shootings of blacks don't get this kind of attention either. It was social media and the protests that drew the attention of the national media.
Again, what irritates me about these situations is how the cops close ranks. "Days, weeks or months" before the video is released? That is completely unacceptable. When regular people commit crimes, any video of it is often on the news THAT night. The cops should be forced to release all the video they have recorded by that camera within a reasonable timeframe (say 48 hours), so that we can see if this shooting was justified. Although, aside from being slow to release the video, the police officials seem to be handling PR much better than in Ferguson. And it is likely that this community doesn't have as hostile relationship day to day with police as the people in Ferguson did. So the only people upset about it are the ones directly affected by losing a loved one, which is a really small protest that most people don't pay attention to. Maybe big news in local papers, but not nationally newsworthy. 500+ people are killed by police every year, that is a news story every day.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
Oh and when people use the word "tollerate" again in what context? If everyone here agrees that on a government level people have the right to claim a god exists, but the claim itself does not deserve blind value or taboo. When a bigot racist opens their mouth, they have the right by law to do it, and I have the right by law to call them fucking assholes.
Now who the fuck in their right mind thinks no one should respond to this dickhead?

But according to some racism does not exist.

Oh that's right, I am the one blowing shit up in the me of Allah. I am the one using the bible to justify controling women's bodies. I am the one shooting abortion doctors. I am the one denying gays equal rights. I am the one using holy books to bastardize science.
They have all the legal right to spew bullshit and I have the legal right to call it bullshit. If you are being a bigot damned right I am going to call you out on it.
Not right wing at all buddy. Merely getting offended is not a crime or an act of oppression. I think you should be more concerned with their intollernce and not me.
If you are more concerned with my cussing and blaspemy at assholes than the real oppression in the world that leads to violence and arrest, then you have your priorities way out of whack.
