in America, being a person of color is synonymous with being poor, and being poor is synonymous with being a criminal. Ironically, this misperception is true even among the poor.
The U.S. Census Report finds that 50 million Americans are poor. Fifty million voters is a powerful block if they ever organized in an effort to pursue their common economic goals. So, it’s crucial that those in the wealthiest One Percent keep the poor fractured by distracting them with emotional issues like immigration, abortion and gun control so they never stop to wonder how they got so screwed over for so long.
So what is his message again?I don't think the majority of these 50 million voters spend their time watching Fox, CNN, or any other "news" outlet and likely don't have subscriptions to Time magazine. I also don't believe our nation has been as intentionally fragmented on racial and economic lines as we have become over the last few years. This administration made it a huge deal in the Romney election and continues to fan the flames.Ibanez wrote:http://time.com/3132635/ferguson-coming ... s-warfare/in America, being a person of color is synonymous with being poor, and being poor is synonymous with being a criminal.

The the data (and your post) still shows that blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks.

Yes, more than double the number of blacks killed by whites, when there are over five times as many whites in America. Just a stark illustration of how much more violent black people are.
Thanks for playing.

How many times I have to state that crime is a result of poverty not race. If this was so, explain the high crime rate in Ireland, Poland or Russia. No large Black communties in these three countries.

Analysis: Police fired no shots yesterday, so that is factually incorrect. Second, if you don't want police to react to something, it's probably best not to organize a mob and rush directly at their command center.But protester Lisha Williams challenged the notion that protesters provoked officers.
"That is a lie. It was no fight, it was no shots fired," she told CNN late Sunday night. "All we did was march to the command center to fall to our knees and say, 'Don't shoot.' And they started shooting."

One of the bullets shattered his right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone, according to the autopsy.
The last two shots were probably the ones to his head, attorney Gray said. One entered the top of his Brown's skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when he was struck.

Don't be obtuse. There is a huge difference between minor spelling & grammatical errors, and the intentional use of slang (ex. I typed "gonna" on purpose), and trying to type "warrant" and have it come out as "Lawrence".Ibanez wrote:BDKJMU wrote:

Yes. But how many of them are also among those making a big deal out of the situation, gathering to shout slogans, and otherwise participating the atmosphere facilitating the looting and trashing to begin with?
Sure, not every single member of the Black Community is out there doing that. Probably not even majority. But it's very reasonable to describe what's going on as a Black Community response.
When people do bad things, they are either one of two types of people:
1. A good person that did a bad thing, or
2. A bad person that did a bad thing.
Brown was one of two of those things because video evidence proves it. Maybe he added to it by blocking traffic deliberately by walking down the middle of the street and assaulting an officer, but the punishment should not be death. The only way a shooting is justified is if, AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING, the officer felt his life was in danger. At that point, the assailant puts his life at risk. We will have to see the results from the investigation to determine if that is the case.

If you think the your use of "gonna" is the problem with your post, then you really are stupid. Go back a read. This time, open your eyes.
