[Discussion] Are Black People Being Overly Sensitive?

[90sKids98]

You're basically asking people to address the injustice in a form the government can afford to ignore.

Therefore, they need to start crazy riots and destroying property? No. Its called peaceful protesting for as long as they need to. Starting brawls between police and civilians and destruction of property isn't they way to solve anything. That is just making the matter worse

People have been doing that. Peaceful protesting has been done for years, and it's being done now, and they are getting the same response. At the end of the day, the riots are being done until the government says "Okay, we have heard you, let's solve this." No one is rioting because they feel like rioting is the solution. They are rioting because the government is not working towards a solution, with the riots, they will have to.

Read your history book kid, we all came from Africa or our ancestors.

But Im not from Africa. I was born in America, which makes me American. If black people are going to be labeled, white people have to as well. Irish, Bulgarian, Scottish, German American. Until that happens, Im American.

I mean, the two cases recently have stirred up a lot of controversy and prostests, as well as riots. But are they even necessary in the first place? No

Why are Black people making such a big deal? Because of the past? Get over it, they aren't even the ones who went through all the pain of the past. Also why aren't they talking about Black on Black crimes? Is it because they support it and dont care? They're just, if not worse than white on black crimes

The results of these cases have been frustrating me lately. Not because of the result, but the respnse towards it

Don't use the term black on black crime to justify anything, you never see it called "White on white" or "Mexican on Mexican" crime, do you?

No. They dont have to make a solution because of the way they riot. All they have to do is continue to arrest them. Peaceful Protesting doesn't give the government the right to arrest anyone. Rioting does, and which is why it is NOT going to solve anything

 

[OG sama]

Log out right now for making such an ignorant thread.

 

[Conspirator.]

No they are not. Given the atrocities of recent events, their behaviour is understandable.

Yes, they do. Either they do nothing about the cops' injustice and the riots continue, costing them money and resources, or they do something about the injustice and the riots stop for good at a lower cost. Most of the big-ups in the Government are motivated by their pockets; they're gonna go for whatever costs them less money and more votes.

The entire point of the riots is the extremity. They can't afford to ignore it, and simply arresting rioters will just spawn more rioters. What you fail to understand is that people aren't overreacting, they were pushed to this reaction. The riots are terrible, they're violent, and everyone wants them to go away. And that's the point. That's why they'll work.

I get what you're saying m8, but you're saying it the wrong way. Its coming off as offensive and ignorant tbh.

African being the skin color dude...omg nvm.

 

[ministerC4]

African being the skin color dude...omg nvm.

Since when did my skin color decide what I'm labeled m8?

No, black people are not being overly sensitive. When a cop needs to shoot a black kid holding a toy gun, a black kid holding a sandwich, a black man only holding cigarellos, and a strangle a black man to death with no punishment because they were scared, but can arrest and take in a white guy who shot up a movie theatre and another white guy who set off a bomb at a marathon then had a shoot-out with the cops, you bet your white privileged ignorant ass there's a problem.

^This. Riker Slade is right

He basically touched on everything here. Lol

 

[Kenotthib]

First off the whole black on black crime thing you stated is just flat out stupid since they've been protesting and trying to do things to decrease the amount of black on black crime. Have you ever heard of a youth center? Hell, will smith had a stop the violence speech in Philadelphia. Have you heard tupac "changes" (of course not)? That song was made in the 90's. And haven't white people started riots over soccer games in other countries. Didn't the founding fathers vandalize during "the Boston tea party". They are tired of the bullshit. And people like you (a ignorant person) just add to the problem. Would you prefer if we let injustices happen to our children countless amount of times. I'm supposed you prefer to let someone continuously knock you upside the head and just ac as if nothing happened? The prison system, while it does lock up people who need to be locked up. It's a fact that they target black people and minorities. There was a case where a judge was unjustly locking up minorities (majority of black people) for money. Before you spout off nonsense please do some research first. Good day sir.

The hard truth is that this is a white man's world.

This is asinine. I'm African American I care about "black on black crime",problems with black people or against us, and other crimes. How can you tell someone to "get over the past" oh because slavery wasn't bad and it wasn't bad after slavery ended, does racism not exist anymore. Just stop, you are freaking racist.You are probably one of those people who has never experience anything really serious or bad that affects your life.You see people like you are apart of the problem.

I agree, what's with black people's victim mentality, they become angels whenever a white guy does a crime on black. Since black people are making it about race they're the true racist.

 

[Luther]

No we aren't. Whites like to ignore racism even when shown blatantly in your face. We have freedom of expression as long as it does not infringe on sometimes rights. I yearn for a day where a black man can enter a store without being followed around like a petty thief, or when i can dress a certain way without being thought of a thug. Until then nothing will change but i have a dream.. That one day we black folk and white folk can truly be united in the brotherhood of togetherness.

It became a race issue when a white terrorist and a white mass murderer were able to be brought into custody alive and given due process, but a black kid holding a sandwich and a black kid holding a fake gun had to be put down out of fear they were endangering lives. Oh yeah, that terrorist also had a shoot out with police. Open your ****ing eyes.
