    See this type of attitude is why the police can kill black men and women and have no fear of punishment. I don't give a damn if he had a pound of meth fall out of his car, it doesn't justify killing him for it. I know in your eyes it's just another dead ni...........nevermind.

    Few white people, wow. Maybe you better start paying better attention.

    How many cities and towns had an uprising when Dr. King was murdered? Did we have a Civil War?

    Also I am wanting for you to come back to the Arbery thread on comment on the comments of Travis McMichael since you claim that is wasn't racist.

    Why are they celebrating him as someone we should all admire and look up to. He was a criminal.

    "Citing court records, The Houston Chronicle reported that Floyd had several brushes with the law, starting with a 1997 drug charge in Houston. His last case was an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon charge in 2007, which resulted in a conviction and a five-year prison sentence."
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ol-police-violence-against-black-men-n1222561

    All this OH he moved there because he was changing his life.........WHAT...........it started when he committed another crime, he had several illegal drugs in his system. He resisted and struggle with the officers. But let's have THREE FUNERALS for him on national TV.

    95% of conservatives are not white, though blacks are the only racial/ethnic group who has been 90% loyal to the Party of Democrats for half a century.

    It's your stereotype, and the message of the Democrat Party, that white conservatives don't accept minorities as equals. If anyone today is following Martin Luther King's vision that one day people would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, it is conservatives and Libertarians.

    Democrats are still preaching "White racists are oppressing you minorities." They really get a new shtick, because half the country isn't buying that line any more. It's tired and untrue. It is 2020, not 1965.

    The way they've publicized and pre-litigated the evidence in front of the camera for political purposes, I'd be surprised if they can find an impartial jury to impanel sooner than 2-3 years. But yes, we'll see.

    What do you think happens to the body on Meth? And not a single person here or anywhere for that matter has justified the killing. They might disagree what level of murder of manslaughter it will be. But this guy was not ANYONE to martyr. He had a long rap sheet and put a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly during 1 robbery. No matter how wrong his death was, karma bit his ass that day. Too bad the country has to burn over this man. Those killed because of his death are far bigger tragedies because they’re actually completely innocent.

    A fair point. We do know that he was hopped up on illegal drugs, though.

    What % of people vote for republicans?

    So it doesn't have anything to do with their actions.

    I totally disagree, you can follow this forum and see that is false.

    I guess if you are white and disconnected from it, you actually believe that.

    Why is it that only the few "black" men, who die, are important to you? Are you fixated on skin color and sex?

    As blood appears to drip out of the man’s arm, two officers hold the suspect’s legs while bystanders question the officer’s behaviour.

    “You have no control of your dog whatsoever? Are you kidding me?” A member of the public is heard asking in the video.

    Another bystander also asks why the three officers are not capable of stopping the animal.

    "You guys have three versus one and you can't get the dog off?"

    One of the officers is then heard in the video shouting at those who are watching telling them to “shut up and get back”.

    How many black men do you think it is ok for the police to murder? 2, 3, 4. What's a good number?

    Wow so his arm had to be bitten off for it to be severe or unjustly.

    BS. None of the changes in welfare impact blacks alone. Welfare reforms impact everyone.

    The only thing Trump has done for blacks that "white people don't get" is permanent funding for black colleges.

    Anyway, conservatives don't play the "If I win, the you lose," game. There can be plenty of opportunity in America for everyone who takes those opportunities to win, if we stop giving our middle-class jobs away to China, Mexico, Canada, and anyone else who underbids us on cheap labor for mass-produced products.

    'Need' doesn't apply. I do, however, have no idea of what you are talking about.

    I suspect that it's some sort of nonsense that I won't miss not hearing about.

    "...you can follow this forum and see that is false."

    Baloney!

    The vast majority of what I see are leftists being obsessed with skin color.

    Back when Democrats were classical liberals and the party for the working poor, they used to campaign to the working class blacks and whites. After the expansion of government benefits locked up almost 100% of the black vote, Democrats stopped talking to poor white working class. They didn't need their votes anymore, so a lot of the old Blue Dog Democrats stopped voting or held their nose and started voting Republican. Enough of the Blue Dogs stuck with Democrats to make elections competive.

    2020, maybe 2024, will be the last election that Democrats will need the black vote to win. They're chomping at the bit to fast-track citizenship for a minimum of 10 million illegal immigrants (some estimates think it's closer to 20 million), and open the gates to a flood of newcomers from Central America. Both black and white voters are going to be outnumbered in the fairly near future and blacks are likely to see what it feels like to be dumped by a party which no longer needs your vote.

    It's only about "race" in the messaging of Democrats. For whites who moved to the Republican party over the last 50 years (or stopped voting until 2016), it's because Democrats never fulfilled their glorious promises, and then they stopped trying to get the working white votes when those votes were essentially replaced by a different voting block. It was skin color. The party betrayed them and made them feel unimportant.

    Not illegal, just prescription needed. Many people get addicted to these things. Not all are criminals. Rush Limbaugh was addicted for years. Had he accidentally gotten a hold of a fake 20 while high, would he have deserved to die as well?

    I try to put numerous people in the same type of situation when judging these kinds of things. I can never be completely unbiased, of course, but at least I make an effort to see things from many sides. This man may have been guilty of no more than being addicted to a drug. Many millions of Americans are addicted to something.

    Democrats openly proclaim their racism. How is it that you haven't noticed?
