Let the looting begin

Post by Ahso! »

I'm calling out a person for what appears to be racist views and he is doing exactly what racists do when a light is shown on them by hiding behind others. If I'm wrong, let Dog prove I'm wrong by explaining his comments.

And as for Scrat: you're right, he's made some pretty vile comments in this thread. However, unlike Dog, he's actually attempted to set the record straight with clarification. Scrat might not be the most level headed person, but at least he's got balls and integrity. You can't attribute either to the author of the OP of this thread so far.

Why should Tude set the record straight when It's only you demanding that he does?

You don't get It do you?

You carry on with the Insults while Tude has shown restraint and something you lack, dignity.

This line in the opening post should shed some light on whether tude dog is racist, it appears he is defending their intelligence and questioning the content of the video.Am I the only one who considers this patronizing? Is the African American community one which should be address as juveniles/adolescents?
There is no doubt in my mind that there are 'issues' between black and white, world wide, let alone in the US and UK.

I say this as a white man married to a black African.......woman, just for information purposes.

There doesn't have to be blatant, in your face, overt KKK type behaviours to show that it's true.

Even amongst second, third and fourth generation UK West Indian descendants there are cultural differences, some more subtle than skin colour.

The definition of a racism here is apparently, whether the 'victim' believes it to be racist.

So if you have spent a life time amongst whites who mention your tan or your kinky hair, or in isolation amongst fellow blacks, there is a sensitivity of perception concerning race and racial tensions.........................and that is a fact, like it or not.

I don't believe America has solved it, and neither has the UK. A few laws cannot change anything, only time and the slow education process can alter peoples hearts minds and attitudes.

I have found with Black youth In the UK over the years that there Is a real sense of Injustice, unfairness, what ever we call It. Do you remember when the catch phrase by any black youth when stopped by police was " Is It cos I's black ". I think much of It Is from the fact that they are 3rd or 4th generation Immigrants and although British born and British citizens, somehow they still feel that we view them as less Important or Inferior.

I also believe that's why we have so much black gang crime In deprived area's because a gang Is where they feel a sense of belonging.

How we change that, i am not sure but I do not believe that as a whole, our country Is not racist towards blacks...There Is far more aggro between Afro-Caribbean and Muslims In some area's.

You may think your criticisms are legitimate but they are not. For one, you are making accusations that his Intentions are racist. Then you go on to bully him Into explaining his motives, so for two, who the hell are you, In that he has to explain himself to you?

Judging by other posts throughout this thread, no-one else believes he has said anything remotely racist, In fact, Scrat's posts were far harsher than TD's. Historically on this forum, you have trolled Tude Dog and Half way paraphrasing their every word whilst Ignoring other posts by other members. You have actually offered nothing to the debate other than disect TD's posts. Your criticisms are not criticisms of the topic but criticisms of exactly what one member has written and there Is a world of difference between the two.

You have made accusations, you have Insulted him by questioning his lack of Intelligence because you appointed yourself the Forum Garden education board and you have also appointed yourself spokesperson for all other members reading this thread by falsely claiming he had Insulted everyone here. That Is baiting, trolling and an attempt to bully him.

I am not defending TD per say but the manner in which you present yourself here.


Thank you oscar, you did a lot to describe his attacks on me. I never put him put him on "ignore". I enjoy a silent satisfaction reading his new ploys to lure me into responding to his taunts. I already spent way to much time on him.

Actually, I am fascinated with his obsession that he would spend so much time/energy stalking.

LOL

I spent most of my working life in factories which employed lots of Hispanics, at least 50% were Chicano (Mexican/American), immigrants etc. so it is no shock to learn that not just "some" my best friends were of Mexican decent, but like 50% of them.

A very close friend considered himself Chicano. My friend already had tan if you will and never had a problem teasing me after I returned from the beach on how tan I turned. He had no problem comparing white people to chameleons.

He liked taking his family camping, then it was payback time. Over all, my experience with Hispanics is we shared a common sense of humor.

Anyway that is my story.

You started a thread and wrote the OP in some sort of personal Morse code for which you were called on and you've had difficulty figuring out how to explain yourself by hiding behind acting like you were ignoring my posts. I'm the only person in this thread who has been on topic to try and pry from you the meaning of what you said, and you still haven't been forthcoming.

You finally admitted you didn't mean what you typed when you made your "gene-pool" comment and that you were talking in a riddle. It's anyone's guess why the author of a thread OP would do that, but in this case it appears either you didn't realize anyone would take interest in that aspect of your post or even pick up on it. That's why it's worth it to try and explain oneself clearly.

So what's the rest of the riddle? What does this mean? What do you mean by the last sentence?

I suppose I need to qualify or explain what I think I mean......because several have picked up on the 'Tan' thing.

I may be wrong to assume that there are obvious drawbacks to being black in a predominantly white country......but.....in the US and UK for instance the percentage jailed from amongst the black population is greater, same as the unemployment figures being higher.

In the UK we used to allow our police to stop and search on Suspicion, this became targetted at inner city black youths due to the expectation they would be carrying weed, an easy target...... Poverty is higher, and educational standards are lower amongst blacks.

There are exceptions.............but generally this is fact.

If my understanding is wrong, somebody show me differently........

Now........on a tangent.....but to try and understand why these things might be as they are......

You either have to believe there is a fundimental difference between the races, or that there is something causing these differences to occur.

I believe it is the expectation or perception of racism from both sides black and white, we tend to pussy foot around each other, embarrased to mention certain words within earshot, ie blackboard, whitewash........not you and me.....of course.....just the PC brigade, but they have infected us all.

If you are, for instance, over weight ( a fatty) or have strawberry blonde hair ( a ginger top) in fact anything out of the ordinary, you will suffer from certain people's cutting remarks. If you happen to be black I suspect you get the same sort of thing........but it never ever ever ends.

So there is a sensitivity towards both sides from both sides, a black university graduate is never sure if they fail because they are black or if it's a personality thing, the white candidate doesn't have that problem.

I have to own up........at times I percieve myself to be racist, it's not a conscious thing, it's an inbuilt result of history.

It absolutely amazes me how there are two sides on this issue that differ so much and without any middle ground.

Side one think that TM attacked GZ and deserved to be shot.

Side two thinks GZ racially profiled, stalked and murdered the nice unarmed poor black child.

How can it be perceived so much differently by seemingly similar people?

Well I haven't been around much I guess, but I feel I'm more middle ground.

I don't think TM deserved to be shot. But I also don't think GZ racially profiled,

stalked and murdered him, either.

I'm not

From the very beginning, when the professional race baiters, irReverend Jesse Hymietown Jackson appear and proven slanderar irreverand Al Sharpton show up, there is nothing good is going to come of this.

Then we have the Mr Hope and change sticking his two cents into it, adopting Martin as his own. Anybody think there are no race politics involved?

YZGI;1432110 wrote: Side one think that TM attacked GZ and deserved to be shot.


We both know nobody deserved to be shot.

Short of retrying the case here, it should be obvious how the jury came to a not guilty verdict. He wasn't arrested based on evidence, No grad jury, just on the orders of the governor and executed by his henchwoman, Angela Corey.

You have absolutely no way of knowing that. You have chosen to believe Zimmerman's account. Why don't you say that instead? "Look", you can say, "I believe what the shooter said."

So you bought the prosecution's accusations hook line and sinker.




If I did then no more than you bought the defence arguments. You have made me more inclined to read the transcripts for myself rather than what is reported of them. In my experience bullies or those inclined to throw their weight around are usually surprised when people retaliate and claim the attack was unprovoked. Push someone and they sometimes push back.

That is a common assertion here, not born out in fact.




That's because guns are part of the equation, it's a peculiarly american problem. . Imagine living in a country where the possibility of someone having a gun is remote to non existent. I might have to worry about physical attack in some situations but not being gunned down by some nutter with a gun who decides I am a threat to him in some way. Road rage incidents with no possibility of someone pulling a gun in the heat of the moment - I was involved in an incuident where someone tried to force me off the road, in a country like america where guns are more likely than not I could see there being a case for opening fire first and a strong possibility there would have been lethal force used. As it was it just petered out. That's what I meant without guns the aggression is less likely to escalate.

Fact is for no good reason he viciously attacked an innocent man and paid the price of his foolishness.


We only have one version of events, maybe trayon martin felt threatened and defended himself but didn't have a gun. Whatever zimmerman was he was not innocent I think he was out for trouble that night and picked on the wrong victim - one that fought back.

TD: "Fact is for no good reason he viciously attacked an innocent man and paid the price of his foolishness."

Thanks for bringing that sentence back to my attention gmc. Viciously. All these adjectives used against Trayvon are just pointing out the viciousness heaped upon the victim. It's enough to say you believe Zimmerman was acting in self-defense. That's an opinion. This goes beyond opinion. These adjectives suggest a deep hatred for some other Americans. A real hatred divides Americans, & it's not coming from the left. It's an unwillingness to see any side but your own; an unwillingness to co-exist. "My way or the highway" is now "My way or I'll kill you". There's an envy I see. Not an envy of what minorities are "getting" that they can't "get" (nothing, not in reality), but an envy of George Zimmerman, that he got to kill one of "them". These white folks are aching for a chance to kill some black punks because "they get away with it". It's truly bordering on illness & it's starting to turn my stomach.

Peace & love. Dying concept. C'mon people.

Martin was gone for four minutes. Question is, where did he go and why did he come back, except to do a "ground and pound" on George? Martin had enough time to go home, call 911 but chose to attack.

Good. You never lost a child, especially in this way. Good for you. I'm not being sarcastic. Consider yourself lucky. You are being beyond cruel now. By HOA, do you mean the homeowner's association? What a payday.

How can it be perceived so much differently by seemingly similar people?


I was even thinking of making my signature block "TM deserved to be shot".

Are you insane? I didn't say anything like that and I never would.

Never did find out how much money they held up the HOA for.


Didn't they try to trademark his name?

The Real Reason Trayvon Martin’s Mother Trademarked His Name

"Sybrina Fulton, applied for trademarks for two slogans that have appeared on T-shirts, posters and promotional materials, to prevent anyone from profiting off of and exploiting her slain son and has no plans ever to profit herself from the trademarks, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting."

I'm not sure, but I get the impression none of you are parents. If you were I doubt you'd behave so incredibly stupidly over the loss of a child, especially your own, EVEN if your child may have been guilty of something, as we all are. I'm hoping you behave this way because it's the internet, & not because of some innate callousness.

And you, tude, you douche bag---1 million was the payout. Zimmerman was in an official capacity acting for the homeowner's association. They settled without quibbling. If it were your family member, your beloved wife, shot for any reason dead within the confines of a condo by someone acting in the name of the condo, you would do the same thing. Anyone would, ANYONE.

Speak for yourself.

I believe T learned to be a prig from mom.

She is lying about not wanting money.

I have lost a child... a baby daughter.

My husbands first son died of cancer In Guy's hospital aged 4 years old.

My close friend Karens daughter was murdered at the age of 14 and after a bungled police operation that saw the murder trial collapse. ( Charlene Downs )

So I beg to differ...

The last thing most parents want when losing a child Is fuss, trademarking names etc etc.

This Is about differences of opinion, that's all.

All I said was ' Yep ' and gave you the link.... I am not sick In the head. I happen to know how the mother of a murdered teenager conducts herself following the death of her daughter. I may be cynical but I know exactly how It feels to lose a child.

What's all this talk about the "African American Culture"? What makes you think that there is a separate culture between blacks and whites in this country? Show it to me. Blacks and whites both depend on the same economy, the same set of rules, the same laws - they are both born the same way. What exactly is it you're talking about? Are you claiming that black adults allow their children to be more violent and more disobedient? If so, that flies in the face of your earlier "mothers" comment as well as the "gene pool" hypothesis the two of you have been spouting.


You don't know what African American Culture is Ahso? Here, read this.

African-American culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are you claiming that black adults allow their children to be more violent and more disobedient?


Why don't you go look up the stats for unwed births in the black community then read a little more about families and the lack of father figures in the lives of children.

Why don't you go study inner city gangs.

Educate yourself.

Is anyone else PROUD of us/US, that there wasn't a bunch of violence over this?

DESPITE the rabble-rousers, doing their BEST to

Make It So?

Maybe,

just MAYBE,

we DID finally get past the final frontier of racism

for us/US?

Let's DO be equal,

and let's do protect us/US.

There are two types of folks in this life..



There are those that step up to the plate and those that stay in their seats and critique the performance of those at the plate.
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Thank you for phucking me snooze. It does get lonely sometimes. Guess I have some 'splainin' to do.

The older we all get the more people we love we lose. Some of us have lost a person, a child who is from your body as well as your heart. There is an ownership we feel, an intense loyalty, to the loved ones in our lives that we lose. We protect them & honor them beyond death. None of us have lost a person who has become international property---whose face is on T-Shirts, who no doubt will have "Movies of the Week Made for TV". Anyone in that position will want to protect, to own as best they can. In today's world unfortunately that involves lawyers & the law. Trayvon's parents are being guided by attorneys. So would any of you in this same position. Be as disingenuous you want to others, but be truthful to yourselves.

Did any one of the 9/11 families turn down the money or not ask for more? No, I'm not comparing the deaths of those victims of terrorism to Trayvon Martin. But to survivors a death is a death is a death. When my husband died, had I received money I would have used it for help in my situation & my son's. It wouldn't have taken the grief but we would have been able to deal a bit better. But alas, there was no one to blame.

When Peter fell in a poorly lit section of town, did you not, Oscar, try to better his situation even though he was terribly hurt?

And snooze, it appeared you answered with glee, not with any thought of explanation or understanding.

No oscar, you are Not Sick in the Head, & you are now dealing with a very hard situation. It can't be easy for you. Pete is a wonderful man & I hope you two will be blessed.

Last night I let my temper get the best of me. I do apologize as I value your friendships.

Yes, I was interested that he was able to pull several people out of a car but couldn't push one person off of him without deadly force. Especially since the defense portrayed him as such a weak willie.

Too bad I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Maybe it was a set-up. Just sayin'.
