6 Times Black Americans Jumped to Racial Conclusions

by Ben Shapiro
20 Aug 2014


On Monday, a Rasmussen poll showed that a full 57 percent of black Americans believe that Officer Darren Wilson ought to be found guilty of murder for his shooting of unarmed 18-year-old black man Michael Brown. Meanwhile, 56 percent of white Americans believe there is not enough information to decide yet.

Clearly, the second position is correct. We simply do not have enough information at this point to determine whether Officer Wilson used excessive force, let alone whether he “executed” Brown, as the Brown family lawyers and Jesse Jackson claim. Wilson has not had a chance to tell his story; the police have not released the full narrative of his side. We do know that original reports that Brown was shot in the back were false; we know that Brown was hardly a “gentle giant” as he was portrayed in the media, given his strong-arm robbery of a convenience store minutes before the shooting; and new reports suggest that Wilson may have been beaten by Brown before the shooting.

But facts are of no relevance to many members of the black community, apparently. In June 2013, a poll showed that a full 86 percent of blacks believe that they do not get equal treatment under the law. Which means that for a huge swath of the black community, every time a black person and a white person are involved in a racial case, knee-jerk support for the black person is merited.

Ferguson is not the first time that huge percentages of the black community have jumped to judgment on racial cases without evidence. Unfortunately, those regular leaps to judgment completely undermine the credibility of legitimate claims regarding racist behavior.

Report: Cop Who Shot Michael Brown Beaten, Taken to Hospital After Incident
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...o-Shot-Michael-Brown-Beaten-Taken-to-Hospital
“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.” Wilson suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious.

Seeking justice is not revenge but retribution for wrong doing. Persecution and rush to judgment is injustice. If the people of Ferguson are seeking justice then they should give the investigation a chance. However, it appears that Gov. J. Nixon, Eric Holder and Al Sharpton are not seeking justice but revenge.

 

Facts are not important they do not apply to this hands up don't shot crowd it is not relevant only fact that is relevant to them is white cop unarmed black male there for the cop is a racist and guilty

 

Sadly, I must agree with your post. Had Brown reached Wilson untouched and beat him to death then arrested, Brown would now be a folk hero of the black people. Go figure.

 

In my neck of the woods we have a saying.

Don't confuse me with the facts my mind is already made up.

 

The worst conclusion blacks jumped to was that a President Obama would be good for blacks in America.

 

not everyone has the advantage of internet, the media is just now getting the facts from the officers involved, why it took so long, why reporters were arrested and detained at the scene.. we still don't know

 

That's because they're always seeking revenge for one thing or another. This is just another day at the office for these morally bankrupt assclowns. Al Sharpton actually gets excited when stuff like this happens. He's like, "Yay! More money and face time!"

 

I am curious.... do you think that white people in America don't have a long history of jumping to racial conclusions about black people?

All that strange fruit hanging from the trees throughout the south deserved to be there?

George Stinney deserved to die?

 

Black people (and other minorities) have fairly good historical and cultural reasons, to extend something other than trust toward those in power.

Maybe it's certain White people (blinded by cultural privilege) who cannot properly grasp the full gravity of events which affect Americans (human beings) in general.

 

Amen. (Too many White Americans are in 'denial'. And that contributes to many of the problems we are STILL seeing today.)

Your mindset is part of the problem.

To 'ignore' with you!

 

Here this will fix it for you

 

Six times we know of.

 

Maybe it's about time we Whites called out cries of "privilege" as racist, the very claim itself suggests Whites contributed nothing and that their skin color alone is the sole reason they have anything.

I ask: If so, why are there impoverished Whites? In a so-called "privileged" or "racist" society, this shouldn't be! But it is! So clearly the US is far from racist or as "privileged" as you think.

We're "privileged" because the nation has a majority of Caucasian-Americans!(Even as you Liberals brag that this is subject to change in the future)
Well Liberals, you're in power! Why not preach more open border-ism? Why not invite more Africans from the African Nations to even up the odds?

Mind you, the various drug warlords, terrorists, African militants won't change their minds about their "jihad"(see: 2013 Boston Marathon), but hey that's a small price to pay!

Apparently, Liberals aren't too quick to fix the so-called "racial discrepancy", I wonder why?

Liberals are inherently racist, they're racist against Whites! To the point where Liberals will say "It's impossible to be racist" against Whites, which to expand upon: "It's impossible to discriminate against Whites"

This means those two White Adults that were murdered at a McDonalds? They must've done something! When a 6'4, 300 pound mad man comes rushing in, the White Cop must've done something to infuriate the cute, harmless teddy bear.

Liberals hate Whites, they hate us with every speck of their being. "Their people" are not us, this nation is not "one whole nation", not until in their minds we paid for crimes we didn't commit.

Fellow White Americans: This is our Versailles. We're discriminated against in our own country.

 

no righties gonna answer this?

 

No, it really isn't time for that and there need not be.

Do you know what is meant by the term "White privilege"?

 

Then how about they live separately? In society we have people and institutions in positions of power. Why bother integrating blacks (and other minorities) into society if they can't (or won't) abide by this?

 

Denial seem to be a great tool of the willfully ignorant.

They ain't gonna answer it, not anymore than you'll hear them admit that White Americans have very serious problems as human beings... just a Blacks do. (At least not in this forum.)

 

Agreed that is the racist Liberal Socialist view at all times. It's like all those racist lynchings the Democratic Socialists perpetrated on blacks during the 19th and 20th Centuries. Now they claim it either never happened or it was Republicans while that's not true.

See:
Rosewood massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood_massacre
The Rosewood massacre was a racially-motivated mob atrocity in Florida during January 1–7, 1923. In the violence at least six blacks and two whites were killed, and ...
Shh..., we're not supposed to discuss the Democratic Party racism.

 

Are the Japanese privileged to live in Japan? Are the Chileans privileged to live in Chile? Are New Zealanders privileged to live in New Zealand? Is Putin a closet racist for having Russians in Russia?

Unless you actually concur to the following, it must be obvious to state: Your racist against Whites. Liberals didn't drop racism from the party platform, it merely redirected it's target of bigotry and racism.

 

That's what Democratic Party Socialists do.. They don't care if the incident was righteous, they want revenge for things that the person presently involve was never responsible for. Who cares for the truth anyway, lynch whitey.

 

Citizens of America are called Americans. End of story.

 

Gladly, those guilty of those crimes aren't alive today. And such acts have been withdrawn from the US mainstream society since the NY/CA riots.

A couple of questions: Is it not inherently racist to assume that ALL Whites must share the burden for their great ancestors? What did today's White young boy or girl do, other than being born White?

Is that not the same behavior the former slaveholders displayed in making Africans slaves? If so, how is it righteous?

Why is it that prior to the POTUS's election, we didn't hear this crap? Why is it an "automatic assumption" that to oppose the POTUS is to be racist?

And do you think after dividing the country so, that there'll be positive relations? My animosity towards African-Americans and minorities(at least the ones who chose NOT to assimilate) is at an all-time high. You've denigrated our country and our ancestory and you've attacked our character.

Now? I don't believe in assimilation, now I believe there's nothing of worth from those "others". Certainly nothing that justifies crime, poverty and mayhem. We've created huge welfare programs, affirmative action ETC. For what?

Screw the Liberals, minorities, etc! You want a One-State for these people? They have an entire continent. It's not OUR fault they pale in comparison to North America.

If these losers hadn't noticed, we did better without them.

 

That's a fair point, and I can certainly understand black people having a default reaction when these incidents come up to be suspicious of authority, or specifically, white authority. But time after time after time, there is a pattern of jumping to the absolute wrong conclusions in spite of evidence? Last year there was one racist hoax after another, each more preposterous than the last, and black people and their leftist enablers fell for it again and again. It's gotten so bad that when I hear about a noose on a college campus, now I assume it's a hoax until proven otherwise.

See? So gut reactions work both ways, but at least I'm open to the evidence. And in this case, I went from thinking that a cop murdered an unarmed kid trying to surrender and then the local police went crazy with armored cars and machine guns to realizing that the officer probably made the correct call.

Unfortunately unlike me, lefties don't change your minds when new evidence appears. You dig in harder.

 

So, you want to pretend that this nation's history/culture does not OBLIGATE it to humanity in certain ways?

If so, that's some shortsighted foolishness you're sporting in that mind of yours.

 

Nope, not at all. You're not making the same demands of France/Spain. It was Napoleon Bontaparte who enslaved the Haitians, hence allowing us to purchase Louisana.

Why aren't you demanding of England? No, it's purely White Americans who had NOTHING to do with either era of social injustice who "have to pay".

Why are we "privileged" for merely living in our own towns and homes? And why is it so hard for Liberals to see that this behavior is far more racist than how White Americans conduct themselves today?
