    Trayvon deserves a mural and a scholarship in his name. So does Tamir Rice.

    This is one of those asinine statements you have to just shake your head to, this is something you would hear at a David Duke rally.
    Just think folks how ignorant this statement is, you can't really call any of this what it truly is because you will probably end up banned.

    I agree to that when you pay restitution for all the whites that have been murdered, for all the white collar crimes that have been committed and for all the folks who werecheated out of their money, when you pay for all the stores that have gone out of business because you don't shop there anymore. Sounds pretty asinine doesn't it.

    More of the same racist babble that doesn't amount to ish.

    Why do you always resort to personal attacks when you're faced with a tough question??

    Look how much already is given to blacks ---- from Affirmative Action to endless welfare programs ---- but you still want more. When/where does it end??

    What tough questions? That soliloquy was a trash from the 50s.
    How is that reparations when the majority of black folks have never been on welfare, when there are more whites on welfare and when white women benefit from AA more than black folks do. Explain that.

    Once restitution is paid and atonement for wrong doing is given. Nobody is asking America to give every black person a wad of cash, because we know she could never pay back at once what is owed.

    Me>> Why do you pose it as an either or? That's nonsense. Now justify painting a mural honoring Michael Brown.

    And all you can ever do is dodge and refuse to answer a direct question. Your specious attempt to compare notwithstanding, again WHY honor BROWN, how about an answer, what did he do to deserve honoring with a public memorial?

    This is about Michael Brown, why should there be a mural honoring him, what did he do to be honored?

    Ignoring your dodges and your distractions..... what dollar amount do you put on "restitution" and what in your mind constitutes "atonement"?

    What about the fact that nobody alive today was a slave nor a slave owner?

    :roflol:

    Ok, I'll play, I'll start the bidding at $1. No, make that a dime. :roflol:

    True, but many corporations and families that are wealthy today started off the backs of slaves. Also there are plenty of black folks living today that came through Jim Crow, I understand why you excluded that because there are many still alive today.

    He deserves about as much honor as Lee, Jefferson Davis and others do and yes I still see their statues and monuments up today.

    And you continue to dodge as usual. I didn't ask how much your absurd equating Brown to Lee and Davis notwithstanding.

    I asked WHY Brown should be honored and a memorial in his name?

    Not sure what I am dodging, but again he should be honored for the same reason Lee, Davis and other unhonorable men have.

    Dodging AND diverting as usual. Honored for what exactly you silly and absurd attempts to equate Brown to the President and General of a country notwithstanding.

    You already know.

    What country was Brown a President or General?

    What is the mural honoring about him? Why do you continue to dodge and divert?

    So being the president or general of traitors is considered as honorable.
    Ask the folks who want to erect it, I am not a part of that committee.

    There are numerable threads about statues to Confederates.

    I'm asking you since you are here to debate it and seem to support it. What exactly is being honored?

    Then why are you here discussing it? Simple question do you believe Brown should be honored in any way shape or form and don't me you have no opinion you have fallaciously defended him to the Nth degree here.

    Oh gosh I could go on and on and on

    What does any of that have to do with the folks in Ferguson wanting to create a mural for Michael Brown? They knew young man personally, I am pretty sure you didn't. You are the one who is bitching and moaning about it and yet you want to keep the statues and monuments of traitors erected.

    You are the one who had to try the desperate dodges and diversions, how come? Why should Brown have a memorial mural, you have no qualms elsewhere speaking for the black community cat got your tongue?

    Michael Brown was a thug, he got what he deserved, the officer was protecting himself and the community, simple truth, a statute honoring the horrific treatment of the police officer should be erected right in the town square of Ferguson. If there is anything called justice in this world.

    Yes I am fully aware of your specious dodge to Confederates which has nothing to do with Brown. You haven't even said what is the same between them. I asked you why honor Brown, why a memorial, you refuse to answer even though you have defended him and supported him for what 6 years now? You invested how many post to that defense and attacking the officer and anyone who would defend him and now you feign an "I don't care", how laughable.

    Try one more time. Why should Brown be memorialized and honored? There are plenty of threads you and I have engaged explaining the Confederate monuments which have NOTHING to do with Brown so stop the dodging and give an answer.
