We'll just have to agree to disagree I suppose. I've just never understood why we have to take sides and why I have to have "my people"...I'd never say to a black person "your people this this this and this...." Just not right. White people are not greater than black people, black people are not greater than white people. We're all (or, should be) on the same "team."Hell yes I have.
I think that if you feel bad for Sterling and Philando, etc. and not the cops (or vice versa) than you are absolutely part of the problem.
Look, man, whatever you believe in or whatever "side" you are on (how disappointing is it that I feel the need to refer to it like that?) ...people are losing their lives. LOSING. THEIR. LIVES. Why are people turning this into a "one-up" contest and adding fuel to the fire? It's not right. As stupid as this sounds....why can't we just get along? We are no better than each other. People are dying and others "don't care." C'mon man.
I've already said that I'm not standing for any of the violence, this incident included but your view is obviously very short sighted if you can't see why some black people don't have empathy over this.
Your people haven't been brutalized in the same way so it's not really up to you to say how they should feel.
I also notice that you've been active posting in here and you say that you were just as disgusted with the murders of blacks but you haven't posted in the Alton Sterling thread or the Minnesota one.
You're right, it's not up to me to tell you how to feel, just sharing my personal opinion.
Regarding me posting in other posts — you're right, I haven't. Doesn't mean I don't care though. I typically stay out of NT General as a whole because of this reason...arguments that go nowhere.
