(18,124 posts)is schizophrenic. Proof: From President Barack Obama and a truly beautiful First Family to the present potus and his family. Dehumanization started with pre-slavery hate of POC, 'Before the Mayflower', Lerone Bennett, 'Destruction of Black Civilization', Chancellor Williams.
As far as my personal experience in life goes, you are correct. A black person being killed by a racist cop or offended by a racist spewing hatred from their toxic minds are shrugged away with, well he had or probably has a police record or he should not have been selling those cigarettes on the street. That child should not have been playing with that type toy, that child was shot within 2 seconds of chickenshit police arriving, that black man in Walmart should not have been buying that toy gun for a relative, shot within 5 seconds of the arrival of chickenshit cops. The woman who was hung in her cell should have fallen to her knees and kissed that cops ass that eventually caused her to be hung in her cell.
Always a way is found to blame the UNARMED black victim for not recognizing the superiority or authority of a particular race. That kid in Florida should have stopped when that wannabe cop told him he was in the wrong neighbourhood, the kid lived there and on and on. I read excuse after excuse after these murder/executions of AA.
Your antagonist in this thread seems to be a master of diversion/distraction. It is a common ploy here of the people you are addressing in this OP who consistently try to hijack a thread with bullshit.
Hey, we're tough and you are a survivor. The fight continues
