I Need To Stop Trying To Help Y'all Gain Perspective

I'm so sick of being given "reasons" as to why shit happens. Frankly I'm not sure why you feel you needed to explain that to me.

My statement still holds true that it's a shameful, travesty of justice.

 

Not sure this was mentioned here yet, but it was a black cop that shot Scott.

And just like the numbers show, black on black crime is out of control in this country.

 

Lots of things are a shameful travesty of justice. As I'm sure you've figured out by now, life ain't fair.

Why did I feel the need to comment what I did? I thought we were having a conversation. Why did you feel the need to point out it was a shameful travesty of justice? Sometimes you give the impression that you think that you're the only one with a moral compass or, at least, that yours works better than the rest of ours.

You seem to see the world in absolutes. I function more in grays. There's usually more than one side to be seen in a situation. Based on the one event of sexual assault, what would be justice for this guy? 20 years in prison with a 300 lb. cell mate who makes him his bitch? Do you look at the rest of the guy's life in making the call? Do you consider what the best conviction is that you can reasonably obtain, or is it a case where only the fullest punishment allowed by law will satisfy you? Just asking. Feel free to ignore my post if you'd prefer.

 

Three years later he did get fired but after some stupid advisory board recommended he get suspended.

I couldn't find out what happened to him since

 

And on the flipside...

That certainly doesn't help. I'm sure most black people said "are you fucking serious?" when they first heard about it.

 

"who all have a white father"

Ha! yep, dad must be a racist. No reason to get pissed about black kids coming forth.

 

Thanks now i have to clutch my purse and read this thread from the other side of the street.

 

I think this quote from LeBron James throws a bit of perspective about what dviss1 has been trying to say:

I never had to think those thoughts about my kids, which I suppose is part of what is referred to as white privilege. It would be a much better world if nobody had to think those thoughts.

 

This makes me sssssssooooooooooooooooooo angry. I mean, I just can't believe it. I should try to be considerate with what I'm about to say because I don't want to offend anyone.

Ahhhh, fuck it. Here goes.

WHY in the FUCK would you buy a cake for your father's retirement at fucking WALMART?????????

Why not just buy some twinkies and draw a blue line on them with a bic pen for fucks sake? Make a fucking Betty Crocker Mix if you're that cheap. At least it will be edible.

 

How did I miss this one, happened not too long ago..........It must have been during the time when I wouldn't read certain websites or watch youtube videos that weren't about puppies or movie trailers, I avoided those things because it made me angry.

 

So you agree that profiling exists and areas are policed differently depending on the demographics of said area....

Must be a privilege to live in West Linn.

 

84% of white murders are done by white people but you never hear the term "white on white crime". Stop comparing apples to oranges.
