Everyone is soooooo politically correct when all I'm trying to do is tell it like it is, calling a spade a spade...... I thought republicans would appreciate that, but apparently they are very sensitive and easily offended. Wear your racism with pride, we are in Trumps new america after all. Make America Racist Again!!
People are saying that facts don't matter in a thread that was started about 2 separate situations combined into one. Can't make this stuff up.
The guy "reaching" into the car was Tulsa
The riots referenced are Charlotte
He wasn't "reaching" into his car (parked in the middle of the highway no less)?
I don't know what he was doing and that's not the point. People are referencing "facts" yet the thread was started without and ounce of thought combining tulsa and Charlotte into one situation .

Bunch a fucking geniuses, I tell ya
Well I was wondering what you were implying by placing quotation marks around 'reaching'.

I don't know if he was. I haven't watched the video aside from briefly catching it on the news and don't really care to see and analyze another dude getting killed
Words are words and in America you have the right to use them freely even if other find them offensive. You can use any adjective you want to describe a group or persons behavior. Get over it. Savage can apply to an animal as well. No need to differentiate the color of fur to determine if it's offensive or racist.
Yes, words are words. And as you pointed out, savage also applies to animals, and in this case (and historically) racial minorities. If you say something, expect hearing something in response.
It comes down to intent. If you can prove to me that the word was intentionally used as a racist reference then you have something. If not then the word is just an adjective(fierce, violent, uncontrolled), noun(primaries and uncivilized), or verb(attack or maul). The word can describe a group or people or a person regaurdless of their skin color. Appearently in your world if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then calling it a duck is offensive and racist.
historical context also matters. if the duck was named a duck by a bunch of oppressive geese 200 years ago because of the colour of its feathers and the shortness of its neck, then yeah, calling it a duck is offensive and racist.
"Boy" was also used to talk down to slaves back in the day. Didn't know I was calling my three male offsprings a derogatory racist name all these years.

Seems like you have all these rules for the convience of your stance. My turn then...no it doesn't.

slang words from over a 100 years ago are not fair game in my opinion. unless you are a historian how the hell do you know certain words were offensive such a long time ago?

I would love to call a spade a spade, a bigot a bigot, a racist a racist in this forum, but you're not allowed to.
More fun times by them "misunderstood youths" in NC going on As We Speak. Looting, Destruction of property, and reports of a protestor getting shot in the head…. basically ANARCHY. Hope and Change…Hope and Change
The fact of the matter is that the police should be part of the community not a foe , somehow bridges have to be built to unite these communities that are in turmoil ...North Carolina is tense tonight !

That's a real bad situation tonight in Charlotte. Fire rubber bullets then shoot teargas in same area. If the reports of a clergymen getting shot in head and killed, it will only get worse, way worse.

interesting. you were the first one to come up with the first "rule" of intent mattering. we just expanded on what else also matters. or does this discussion begin and end with your opinion?

So this guy had a gun... didn't put it down when instructed... maybe has a record for carrying a firearm... Was shot by a black officer... and the police chief is black
Am I missing something?
Yes, definitely.

Seems like your views are restricted to 100 years ago too. If you could provide some sort of slang dictionary from 100 years, it would be appreciated. Please let me know if any of the words I have used thus far are considered racist. Here I was living, talking, and communicating in modern time, boy, I mean male adult, was I missing the boat

Wow, seriously? You think that's a rule of convenience? It's called a societal rule of basic respect. You can't understand that you can call your son "boy", but not a black person boy? You think that's some sort of PC rule that's oppressing you?
I'm wondering what that cop in Tulsa was supposed to do. The guy did have his hands up, but continued to back up towards his vehicle, then turns his back to the officer while reaching into the vehicle, no?
will myself to find a home, a home within myself we will find a way, we will find our place
the police reacted to a threatening situation and unfortunately a man died there is no race issue here, misinformation and the media once again led to another riot, some folks are and have been to quick to react in violent way...so the actions of rioters are defended with accusations of racism towards their accusers because it's a great way to turn off the lime light they have shined upon themselves. even here on the AMT the ugly finger of racism is pointed freely in the direction of anybody who dare call it out as it truly is.
Walk up to a black guy on the street, drop a nickel on the ground and say 'Pick that up for me, boy.' When we all cut the bullshit and agree that is a racist statement maybe we can move on and have a real discussion.
