Nothing worth mentioning is happening in Ferguson Missouri.

It does look like the cop killed an unarmed teen, but he will not be sent to prison. On the other side of the coin, Ferguson is making a terrible mistake in the way it is handling things. Perhaps it should have taken a look at Detroit before deciding to loot and riot the way it has.

I read that as unharmed teen at first. Couldn't figure out what you meant.

Laughing does like a balm...for the Bible says so...Prov. 17:22 A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired. I also love this verse... It’s stupid to try to get something for nothing, or run up huge bills you can never pay. Prov. 17:18

Immersed in a reality of insanity, sometimes all you -can- do is laugh.

I bet they laugh a lot in Ferguson Missouri.

When a black cop kills a innocent white man, it doesn't make worldwide news and cause riots.  Same thing happened in London a few years ago.  A mixed raced thug got shot by the police and London went into turmoil.  Few years before an innocent Brazilian man got shot by the police 8 times, and no riots.

well riots are kind of counter productive and take a lot of effort... Further I've noted that when it comes to Isreal folks get all their granny panties in a twist oh yes they will do dang twister over that issue... it's weird but it's humanity go fig

bad blood lasts decades and centuries. You Americans whipped negroes to shreds, and now you're all offended "WHY are they angry with us D': we stopped whipping them! D': couple years ago D': WHAT DID WE DO WRONG!!!"

^Consequences.

We Norwegians haven't whipped anybody in 1000 years, but we DID decapitate Saami people untill only a century ago. And guess what. The Saami people still resent us for it. And guess what. We're being quite crude about it "Get over yourselves!" while still keeping Saami skulls in museums, like beasts, not fossil skulls, not archaeological artifacts, but murder victims, slayed by the Norwegian government, in order to shut them up, and stop them from rebelling.

So, yes, when a white American cop decides to pull out his belt, strap up a negro, and start whipping his back, people will react, because of old, bad blood.

But, you know, give it a couple of centuries, a thousand years perhaps, and it will level itself out, and people will get over it

Just because it's true doesn't lend any sense to it, Zeg. Ancestral guilt and ancestral victimhood are a bunch of crap. Fuck them.

I know, a-bunch-of-crap is one of our greatest traditions

I'm just saying, we should expect this by now. It's been fucking ages. We should begin to know how we function, and not be so surprised all the time. I kinda like it tho, like some people point out: Cops shoots a white person, and nobody bats an eye. So... if there were no blacks, cops would be just popping everyone, untill there were nobody left, cus nobody would care
Blacks make people care about police brutality

Okay, I get that, and yeah I guess it's expected.

I don't think that's true. The one thing I remember most about the Rodney King riots, was seeing a black man on the news outside the front of his grocery store. He was crying and sobbing at the crowd, why, why had they done this to him, he didn't do anything to anyone, he has a family, that's his livelihood, why did they have to destroy his store? Fucking animals is why. Maybe all the cops should be black, cops would just be popping everyone, until there were nobody left, cus nobody would care.

The only thing wrong with this, is that irish and other "whites" were also slaves. Blacks were actually more expensive than irish, and treated better. Irish slaves were thought to be little more than worthless, violent thieves.

American slavery is actually a lot more convoluted and shitty than "whitey enslaving negro". The only people who could afford black slaves were very wealthy plantation owners. This is easily learned about now that we have the internet, but does nothing to change the convenient white privilege narrative that continues to divide and conquer people in the present.

This idea actually hurts everyone in the present day, regardless of their skin color.
