My posts have been offensive to you in some way? Really and truly? So be it.
The question, by the way, was genuine. Certainly your prerogative to spurn it.0 -

Semi plows through crowd protesting in Minneapolis
The driver of a tanker truck is in custody after he plowed his tractor-trailer into a crowd of protesters on a Minnesota highway.
Gov. Tim Waltz quoted reports saying multiple protesters were treated for injuries after the truck barreled through protesters on I-35W, which was closed to vehicular traffic.
"A horrifying image on our television -- a semi ... with a flammable or toxic substance going full force into a crowd of peaceful protesters," Walz said.
Authorities said they don't yet know the driver's motives.

We are all just amateur social media Influencers on this board.I look out my window and see about 20 police officers. About as safe as one could be. The curfew would be more eerie if we weren’t already used to it with stay at home Covid ordersPost edited by bootlegger10 on0

Saw a crowd chanting “hands up don’t shoot” on TV. Made me wonder, why are they chanting that? Are they aware that was determined to not happen, and didn’t even the witness who first stated that recant his statement?
Does that mean they believe it was a cover up, do they not know that didn’t happen? Another reason?0 -
At least the protesters at City Hall are actually protesting at the moment. The ones west of us today and right now are continuing to steal from, spray paint and set fire to various businesses.I think we’ll go back to watching The Walking Dead0

After dark it doesn’t look like any protestors are out. Majority of people out late at night look like they’re having fun, been stuck inside too long as glad to be out, taking selfies and having a good time, or are looting stores. No message or unity, either there to have fun or steal stuff.During the day looks like a different story, but that’s what it looks like at night to me.Post edited by mace1229 on0

But the AG Eric Holder’s investigation is what determined that, that racist SOB.
I haven’t heard that phrase in any recent protest, Was curious if people don’t believe the AG’s investigation and believe that did happen with Michael Brown or if there’s another reason. Fee free not to respond if you don’t have an answer to a question.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

But you made the effort to posit something lacking context and detail because you “haven’t really thought about it since posting it.” Trolling? Brain fart? Throwing shit out there to see what sticks? Or lacking critical thought in the context of our times?
Was it proven that Michael Brown didn’t have his hands up when he was shot to death? Again, asking for somebody who can’t ask.

What was the question again, mace? I’m a little slow (because there’s four of them).So I’m not allowed to see something on TV and have a thought about it? It just struck me as unusual, since that rally cry had essentially been proven false. Not trolling, maybe there is a real reason I’m aware of. Maybe it’s been said all along and I never picked up on it before. Maybe the BLM movement never accepting Eric Holder’s findings. I don’t know, that’s why I asked.
I don’t know if I believe Tara. Was very long ago and I doubt anyone will know what happened. It’s possible it happened, it’s possible it was made up, it’s possible it was some flirting to plant the seed and it’s evolved in her mind over 25 years. Some parts of her story seem strange, like her continued support for Biden after. But some claim she spoke about it long ago. So I don’t know. Not sure what that has to do with white privilege.0 -

"I can't breathe"
"Hands up don't shoot"
"Rough rides"
"It's just my wallet"
These events aren't one-off occurrences even if you only see the biggest headlines. It's everyday life for black people in America.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Maybe you shouldn’t be a teacher of young minds cause you’re the craziest teacher I’ve ever had a conversation with.

That’s right, it’s EXACTLY how I feel, you’re just a teacher, you see all the fluff. Walk in these peoples shoes or among them for years and years and years and you may feel differently. You have no knowledge of what being a black person in America is like...at least I’ve been consistent in my opinions. So you had another payment taken out for Sea, Hear, Now yet you stated you live ten minutes away and wouldn’t dare attend. What a hypocrite you are
