no
i dont understand
cause im from all that shyt
i myself was shot by another brother
people dont enjoy that shyt
makin it seem like we like this shyt and aint noone saying shyt
shyts deeper than black on black crime
but you already know that

"I" dont like how they always make it a priority to point at black folks and get their "heres what youre doing wrong" on every chance they get but too goddamn scared to aim that shyt at other parties

the PROBLEM right now is...
why is it 2016 and the people who swore to serve and protect killing unarmed black folks and not being held responsible for that shyt?!?!?

oh but WE gotta be held responsible for black on black crime like if that shyt were to stop cops would be like "oh look! they stopped killing each other. NOW we can stop killing them!"

muthafukkas dont bring up black on black crime cause they CARE
they do the shyt cause its a convenient ass deflection tactic

but you dont hear me tho :hahapaul:
Of course there's an issue with the prosecution of cops. The whole criminal justice system treats them like they can do no wrong. But you missed my point. And the problem is that these two issues really need to be separated. But where they come together, is when people start acting like the GREATEST threat in the streets to black people is racist cops. THAT IS BULLSHYT. You are right though, anybody who justifies cop killings with black on black crime is also on some bullshyt.

300 murders a year
But you do understand he's not diminishing the police brutality problem right? The issue here is there are many out here trying to say, that police brutality is a bigger problem for the black community than killing our own, which is a ridiculous lie.
out of curiosity, who has said that?

2nd question: how is either of those issues related to each other in any fashion?

These issues do not come together. They have nothing to do with each other. Any attempt to bring them together only shows how great that threat is.

2nd question: how is either of those issues related to each other in any fashion?
1. After the murders by the police in Baton Rouge and Minneapolis, there were of course many interviews and discussions about it. One common theme I heard, particularly from women, is that due to these police murders, I'm scared to let my son/ husband/brother/father go out in the street because he may be killed by a cop.

2. They are related only in the fact that both involve the unjustified deaths of black men. Whether you choose to believe it or not, there is a large segment of the community that believes the police are a greater threat to the black community than the black community is to itself. However, in my opinion they are really separate issues, particularly in regards to what happens after the killings.

I like these two together. This is nice. Real nice energy.
I don't, when skip was at the other end because he would often speak for the conservative & privileged, Steven was forced to take the side of reality, Skip relished being heel and Steven had no choice but to be contrarian.

This has only been their first week and Steven A has taken stances skip would have been proud of with Max scurrying to make a point that's true to his whiteness but not going against the premise of the show. Like with the Jordan stuff, he basically agreed with Smith while adding (at the end) but he feels funny because he can't exactly criticize anything Jordan said, his greatest crime (to max) was that he comes off like a politician. Neither one of them prefixed their points by mentioning the story behind "republicans buy shoes too". Max is a culture jacking millennial so if he's not going to bring that conservative/elitist viewpoint that's going to box Steven A and remind him he's black then the show has lost a vital ingredient that made it riveting tv

Mr. "Stay off the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed" and "We gotta do better black folks" was the voice against the conservative and privileged? :usure: Skip rode for who he liked and Steven A. did the same. Two people trying to one up each other in regards to ridiculous comments can get old quick. I like the dynamic with Max because everything is not based up "who you like more". It's actually more balanced now because Steven A. is still yelling and appealing to emotion while Max is bringing logic and fact to the table. I'm sure those among us that get off on the old dynamic (which was clearly a large number) may not like it, but I do.
