You wanna know why black folks riot?

[theiacowtipper]

This. This right here. White cops break into a house and torture a bunch of black men, apparently for having the nerve to be living with a white woman. Telling them to basically move back to their side of town. The tried to set them up for a crime. Reading this it’s easy to see that systemic racism still exists in this country. Still persecuted minorities. How much of this happens but there’s no proof? How many times do minorities go to prison after being set up?

Sounds like some of my old weekends

Really hard not to believe in ACAB

Hmmm, that doesn't sound very Mississippi like......oh wait, yes....yes it does

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Of course racism exists today.

The mantra in this country is .... You either look and think like I do or I hate you.

Ya, that's why black folks riot because this group of cops in this one town. Race bate much?

 

[goldmom]

So only black folks riot?

Tom laughs but it’s 100% true.

Nasty MFers. Good lawd, people like this are still sucking oxygen? How does this crap continue?
It bottles the mind. I was a kid in North Florida back in the day when it seemed that this crap was lessening. But, no. It lives.

Shaddup. You ever live in a town/county that is over 50% black? You have no standing in this matter if your answer is no.
*bait

Presumably, everyone from or associated with Iowa knows what it means to use "bait", so purposefully using "bate" because people of other races puts you in an angry mood is a fantastic use of the typed word, appreciate the use of old English words, bravo

If you search you can find some posts about January 6th 2021. I don’t know if you remember, but there was a riot. Mostly white people.

Edit to add, I didn’t say that rioting is a good choice. I’m saying sometimes people feel as if they had no choice.

MAGA Cops. Shoot ‘em.

Mississippi North just contacted Mississippi South for pointers!

 

[DooBi]

Nothing about that sounds systemic.

Horrible horrible people. Hope those cops get raped in prison.

 

[The Tradition]

Well, when white folks riot everyone goes to jail.

BLM riots? Not so much.

Anyway, wealthy black folks don't riot.

 

[fsu1jreed]

Jan. 6th says hi

 

[The Tradition]

Jan. 6th says hi

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. After a summer of BLM riots, MAGA said, "Hold my beer..." and everybody started being concerned with riots.

The only people arrested were the ones that either entered the capital or attacked officers....had they not done that then they wouldn't have been arrested either

So that’s what you have? The justice system is racist because it is more likely to prosecute whites than African Americans? That post shows a next level lack of awareness. Good work.

Another simpleton thinker doesn’t see systemic racism. The concept is too big for you unless you take some time and learn about it.

That's the GQP.

Let’s look at some facts. African Americans don’t live as long. They go to prison more. They don’t get as good of healthcare. They don’t graduate from high school as often and they are less likely to graduate from college. They are less likely to own a house. Many more indicators that say African Americans don’t do as well.

Now the question is why. One theory is systemic racism. Is that the correct answer? I don’t know. It’s a theory. There are others. It’s a good point for debate.

That debate is called CRT. Or over CRT. A topic Republicans don’t want anyone to discuss. What’s not at issue is that racism led these African Americans into being tortured and framed for a crime.

 

[theiacowtipper]

One more point. I’m the whitest white guy on this board and I’ve only called for riots one time in my adult life and that’s when Trump was trying to steal the election. If he had been successful I’d have been burning shit down. I’d have gone to prison.

None of that has anything to do with these piece of shit human beings.

You don't think these are horrible piece of shit humans? You think all policing involves this kind of thing?

Dunce.

Really? What, pray tell, helped them to act in such a nasty fashion?

The discussion is really uncomfortable which is why people don't want to have it. Some don't want to have it in order to figure out how racism still exists and in what capacity while not understanding how they don't have to face the same problems as others. Some don't want to have it because they feel uncomfortable talking about races and lumping everyone together. Some don't want to have it because they might find out that they aren't as much as a victim and can do things to help their condition more than they are.

Truth is going to lie somewhere in there.

I was speaking of the idea of systemic racism. Nothing more. You mentioned it in your post.

 

[markfromj]

Lol. Sanctimonious OP rails on about systemic racism, then indicts an entire race for not being able to control itself.

Just the worst.

 

[runkpanole]

That’s racist.

I agree. We all saw January 6.

Very thoughtful and reasoned post.

We’d all appreciate keeping this kind of thing off HORT.

I agree with Doobie on this one, Tom. It’s no more systemic than teachers f%cking students. I’m sure Mississippi has plenty of racist cops but I don’t think it’s a fair representation of the entire country.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Yeah, almost as bad as the guy who couldn’t see the racial angle in the Alabama boating incident.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Race bate much?

Is this a WOB?

I’m weighting with baited breath for the answer.
