What? I make no sense, yet I have read your reply five times and still cant comprehend how you made that leap.
Seriously? The cop said it. Not her. Her fear was that SHE would be harmed by reaching for her phone, not black people. So I'm not making a leap at all, you are making a leap by saying that it was her thinking.
Damn it dviss, throttle down. As I stated to begin with, I am not defending the Cop. How you can argue that this is not her thinking is ridiculous. If it is not her thinking, then why is she saying it? The Cop attempted to address her concern using the same talking point, bumper sticker shit spit up that she was employing. Was the Cop out of line? Yeah, one can argue that he should have handled it better. Do I believe that he had evil intent? No.
IDGAF about his intent. Did you even listen to what she said? It's like you don't use logic. Pleas answer this simple question: If she believed only black people get shot by police then why did she fear for her safety with regard to using her phone?
So cops can't joke at their own expense? Careful where you go with the thought crime is all im saying. "He's not a cop" Should cops be picking your cotton too? Maybe cops should have seperate drinking fountains. Enact the jim po laws!
A few things: Picking MY cotton? Wow... Slaves always picked Massa's cotton. We never owned any.... And Eli Whitney stole the idea of the cotton Gin from us. It's spelled sepArate. Jim Crow. Now answer the question: If she believed only black people get shot by police then why did she fear for her safety with regard to using her phone?
If she believed only black people get shot by police then why did she fear for her safety with regard to using her phone? Okay, lets get this straight. I never said that she believed only Black people get shot, in fact as I have stated, she believed the opposite.
I love ya Dviss, but I am going to call bull shit http://www.snopes.com/facts-about-slavery/ http://www.politifact.com/punditfac...viral-post-gets-it-wrong-extent-slavery-1860/
You know, I would love to sit back and have a few adult beverages with you. I have to believe that we would agree on a lot of stuff. Some things we are not, but I think both of us would gain a better understanding of each others world view. To slow the conversation down and remove all of the perceived biases and be able to focus on statements made in context would be a breath of fresh air. So, lets slow this puppy down, What question do you want me to answer?
A few women have recently been killed by police so its reasonable for her to have thought she might get shot.
There's no way around you saying this. Absolving the cop of any wrongdoing and blaming the lady. Stating it was her thinking. My simple question is: If it was "her own thinking" then why did she fear for her safety with regard to using her phone?
Which indicates that she was concerned for her safety as a white woman and he didn't have to go there with the black thing because it was NOT her thinking.
I am still trying to get your point. Seems basic to me. Her thinking, her beliefs her perception of reality influences her actions. Period. So, to take it a step further.. One might ask who is controlling her? Dunno, man, space aliens? Or does the heavily negative media along with popular social media control her? Hmm, influence yeah, but still I believe that she is a self sentient being, able to fully function if eve at a minimum of standards, based upon her reaction.
How is it her perception when she's white? You're not making sense. It's the COP who brings race into the equation. She as a white woman fears for her safety... I'm not sure why you're not getting this.
I know its jim crow but i said jim po as in the po po. It was a really funny poorly timed joke. Kind of like the one this thread is about.
His point is that "her belief" was that any movements to get something (like a phone) in front of a cop can be dangerous, no matter who you are (considering she was white) so the cop's joke about only shooting black people didn't say anything about her belief (which was clearly not about race). The cop was the one who made it about race.
