Actually white people commit more crimes and are arrested more. So that's not right either.

Cacs don't like to hear stuff like that....if they do they are seen as pussified liberals.

What they wanna hear is

-Racism no longer exists
-Only ones keeping racism alive are black people
-Blacks are in the predicament they're in because of themselves.
-Systematic racism doesn't exist either

They've been deluded and scared by conservative media that they're becoming the minority..therefore racism by law enforcement can't possibly exist :smugfavre::troll:

It's why there has been a trend of "What about us" bullshyt from cacs since 2009.

"Blacks attacked white people...why is it no called a racial attack?!!!!"
"If whites attacked black people Al sharpton would be on tv within 5minutes!!!"

I've said this before...it's fukking petty bullshyt.

Cacs wanting to hold onto White supremacy while trying to tell everyone else that the supremacy/privilege doesn't exist.:smugfavre:

Van needs to STFU... that area wasn't "poised to come back". They said the newest spot was that CVS in years. So um...you know when those neighbors come back? It's when those folks implement eminent domain to clear way for gentrification is how those "areas come back". Blacks can't get the loans as easily as white people and most black owned banks were gobbled up by Bank of America and those other larger ones. Some muthafukkaz like to hear themselves talk nonsense when the camera is in front of them about one sided shyt to them.

people saying the cvs was the only place those people could shop at...that place was in bad shape before the riot if people in that community was trying to live off the shyt sold in a cvs...destroy and rebuilt...hopefully they can get a nice lil grocery store out of this...

I'm talking about what he said a few minutes ago. Nothing else. If you didn't hear what he just said don't comment in general on Hill.

Rioting broke out on Monday in Baltimore—an angry response to the death of Freddie Gray, a death my native city seems powerless to explain. Gray did not die mysteriously in some back alley but in the custody of the city's publicly appointed guardians of order. And yet the mayor of that city and the commissioner of that city's police still have no idea what happened. I suspect this is not because the mayor and police commissioner are bad people, but because the state of Maryland prioritizes the protection of police officers charged with abuse over the citizens who fall under its purview.


The citizens who live in West Baltimore, where the rioting began, intuitively understand this. I grew up across the street from Mondawmin Mall, where today's riots began. My mother was raised in the same housing project, Gilmor Homes, where Freddie Gray was killed. Everyone I knew who lived in that world regarded the police not with admiration and respect but with fear and caution. People write these feelings off as wholly irrational at their own peril, or their own leisure. The case against the Baltimore police, and the society that superintends them, is easily made:

Over the past four years, more than 100 people have won court judgments or settlements related to allegations of brutality and civil rights violations. Victims include a 15-year-old boy riding a dirt bike, a 26-year-old pregnant accountant who had witnessed a beating, a 50-year-old woman selling church raffle tickets, a 65-year-old church deacon rolling a cigarette and an 87-year-old grandmother aiding her wounded grandson ....

And in almost every case, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the victims—if charges were filed at all. In an incident that drew headlines recently, charges against a South Baltimore man were dropped after a video showed an officer repeatedly punching him—a beating that led the police commissioner to say he was “shocked.”

The money paid out by the city to cover for the brutal acts of its police department would be enough to build "a state-of-the-art rec center or renovations at more than 30 playgrounds." Instead, the money was used to cover for the brutal acts of the city's police department and ensure they remained well beyond any semblance of justice.

Now, tonight, I turn on the news and I see politicians calling for young people in Baltimore to remain peaceful and "nonviolent." These well-intended pleas strike me as the right answer to the wrong question. To understand the question, it's worth remembering what, specifically, happened to Freddie Gray. An officer made eye contact with Gray. Gray, for unknown reasons, ran. The officer and his colleagues then detained Gray. They found him in possession of a switchblade. They arrested him while he yelled in pain. And then, within an hour, his spine was mostly severed. A week later, he was dead. What specifically was the crime here? What particular threat did Freddie Gray pose? Why is mere eye contact and then running worthy of detention at the hands of the state? Why is Freddie Gray dead?

When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse.
The people now calling for nonviolence are not prepared to answer these questions. Many of them are charged with enforcing the very policies that led to Gray's death, and yet they can offer no rational justification for Gray's death and so they appeal for calm. But there was no official appeal for calm when Gray was being arrested. There was no appeal for calm when Jerriel Lyles was assaulted. (“The blow was so heavy. My eyes swelled up. Blood was dripping down my nose and out my eye.”) There was no claim for nonviolence on behalf of Venus Green. (“bytch, you ain’t no better than any of the other old black bytches I have locked up.”) There was no plea for peace on behalf of Starr Brown. (“They slammed me down on my face,” Brown added, her voice cracking. “The skin was gone on my face.")

When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse. When nonviolence is preached by the representatives of the state, while the state doles out heaps of violence to its citizens, it reveals itself to be a con. And none of this can mean that rioting or violence is "correct" or "wise," any more than a forest fire can be "correct" or "wise." Wisdom isn't the point tonight. Disrespect is. In this case, disrespect for the hollow law and failed order that so regularly disrespects the rioters themselves.
