Surprise, surprise. The biggest enemy of the black community isn't "white racism", it's themselves, and it always has been.

Surprise, surprise. Ignorant racial comments on r/news. Lol, it's gotten to the point where ignorant caricatures and race blaming is upvoted to the top. Wow.
[–]MrGelowe [score hidden]  (0 children)
Races do not have enemies. People have other people as enemies. Race can be their justification but it is never the true cause. I always find it funny when people talking about black slavery when whites and blacks were just as responsible for it. And it was not all white and all blacks.

    Lmfao how? Looks like your liberalism is clouding your judgement. You probably think Brown was innocent, too.

    It's not about that, it's about turning a piece of shit into some martyr based on 0 information, and not caring about not having that information.
    And it's also about demanding a lynching with the threat of a riot if you don't get what you want.
    Michael Brown was a ghetto piece of shit. That's just a fact. He wasn't a nice kid with a bright future, he was a fucking criminal from a broken home who was so out of control he was willing to go toe to toe with a cop. His mom is a ghetto piece of shit who wasn't even raising him. His father wasn't ever around. He spent his days dreaming of being a gangster, and smoking blunts. But now suddenly they're a happy stable nuclear family when the TV cameras are rolling, so they can cash in and get some money for themselves. They're so concerned about that money they're willing to beat people with pipes in broad daylight in front of witnesses over T-shirt profits.
    There needs to be some honesty here. Nobody should give a flying fuck about Michael Brown or his family. It might be wrong that a cop killed him, I don't know, it certainly isn't a tragedy.
    [–]msm2485 comment score below threshold[score hidden]  (9 children)
    And you're turning him into a piece of shit based on zero PROOF. You can claim what you want, but nothing has been decided in a court of law.
    You didn't know Michael Brown, or who or what he was. You are making assumptions based on a few facts you know.
    Guess what? Darren Wilson's mother was a CONVICTED criminal. Not just charged, but convicted. Also, his father wasn't around either. Does that make him a ghetto piece of shit? Does that mean he was a wanna-be gangster too, smoking blunts and drinking 40's? Or is it because he's white that he's different?
    [–]LongLiveTheCat [score hidden]  (7 children)
    There's a fucking video of him robbing a store. I do know who he was. He was a strong-arm felon from a bad neighborhood, with an absentee father, a hood-rat mother, being raised (poorly) by his grandmother, who fights the cops, and hangs out with other criminals whose first instinct is to lie about the incident.
    If there's more to him than that I don't give a shit.
    Stop with your "but Darren Wilson..." straw-man assumptions. I don't have to like him either. That's the dumbest logic in the world. You're going to tell me Darren Wilson wasn't a nice guy, therefore Michael Brown was? One has nothing to do with the other.
    [–]msm2485 [score hidden]  (3 children)
    Since you edited your reply, I'll reply again.
    No, that's the problem. You think you do. You make assumptions and judgments based on other peoples assumptions and judgments. That doesn't mean you're right.
    It's find that you don't want to know him, but not fine that you think you already do.
    As for the Darren Wilson, I never said anything about if this then that. What I was implying, is that Darren Wilson didn't come from a home too different than the one Michael Brown grew up in. Yet, Michael Brown is called this and that because of that, yes you don't apply the same standard to Darren Wilson.
    [–]LongLiveTheCat [score hidden]  (2 children)
    It doesn't mean I'm wrong. You're playing holier than though by pulling the wool over your own eyes. That doesn't make you superior it makes you pathetic. You just want to close your eyes and pretend Michael Brown was an angel, why? Why is that important to you to deny common sense when looking at the totality of information about him? Why do you insist on "defaulting" to the most absurd conclusion, that he was a nice, law abiding kid, rather than the most sensible one, that he was not?
    I haven't commented in any way about Darren Wilson. You're the one making assumptions, despite admonishing me for doing so.
    At least mine are based on decent amount of reasonable evidence. Yours are just a projection of what you'd like me to think.
    [–]msm2485 [score hidden]  (1 child)
    1) I'm not claiming to be superior or holier than thou. In fact, I'm not the one name calling, pathetic, idiot...
    2) I never claimed Michael Brown was an angel. I never claimed nice, law abiding, or anything else you claim.
    3) I made no assumptions about Darren Wilson. It is fact his mother is a convicted criminal. It is a fact his father was not in his home. It is a fact he was fired from a corrupt police force. Those are all facts, not assumptions.
    You take what I said and turned it into your own projections.
    In fact, I haven't stated my opinion on either of them.
    [–]msm2485 comment score below threshold[score hidden]  (2 children)
    Again, nothing has been proven in a court of law.
    He's SUSPECTED of robbing a store.
    And let's say that's true, everything else you said about him are assumptions. You know what they say when you make assumptions...
    [–]LongLiveTheCat [score hidden]  (1 child)
    That's a court, idiot. I'm not a fucking court. Are you this dense? Do you think that was meant to apply to individual members of the public in all cases?
    If I come up to you and punch you in the face, are you so pedantic you'd consider me innocent of doing it unless a court convicted me? Do you honestly think you've demonstrating some positive attribute by being so thick?
    I saw him rob a fucking store on video. In the court of my brain, that's well beyond a reasonable doubt.
    [–]PutmeinKoch [score hidden]  (0 children)
    ... And his friends's lawyer admitted they robbed the store.... for cigars... from some typically Asian owned qwik e stop.
    But he may have had a bright future, we'll never know. A ghetto piece of shit? Maybe.
    LongLiveTheCat? You're a fucking drama queen with verbal diarrhea. And I bet you wonder why nobody listens to you.
