[QUOTE]Originally posted by 9cobra7: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Martinna: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 135.0: [qb] Ok so what's your solution? I hear the complaint it what should be done? [/qb][/QUOTE]The problem with race and what seems to have happened to [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0]Philando Castile[/URL] is nothing new. Lets go back to the summer of 1955. The story of Emmett Till, a 14 year old boy, African American teenager. From Chicago. His mom Mamie wanted Emmett to get out of the city for the summer so she sends Emmett to the South to be with his aunt and uncle. One night Emmett is ripped out of bed by a white mob and he is tortured, he is beaten and ends up in the river. You know Emmett Till was a stutterer. His mother taught him when ever you stutter, stop and [i]whistle[/i], and it will help you. They said Emmett "wolf whistled" at a white woman. And for that he was killed. When his body was dredged up and sent back to Chicago, his mother Mamie did something [i]incredibly[/i] courageous. She said she wanted the casket open in the wake for the funeral! She wanted the world to see the ravages of racism. The brutality of bigotry. Thousands streamed by Emmett's casket and saw. Jet Magazine and other black publications took photographs of Emmett's disfigured, mutilated head. And they were actually published! They were seared into the history and conciseness of this country. Take a look at the boy for yourself if you can stomach it ---- http://www.voice-online.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/455/Emmett_Till.jpg -------- https://ecarson.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/emmett-till-3.png Mamie Till had an important lesson to teach modern Americans of today. [b]Share the pictures. [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0] Share the videos![/URL][/b] Why is it the poor and people of color are punished for committing crimes, many of which are results of the conditions that they are born into and [i]not[/i] because some evil streak is running through America's economically disadvantaged communities. We never give poor folks in this country that are busted on a drug possession or committing a petty robbery, they almost never get a break. But these too big to fail corporations and crooked politicians like Hillary Clinton are let off the hook nonstop all the time. Second, third, fourth chances! Who went to jail over Hurricane Katrina? What wealthy banker went to jail over the implosion of the economy in 2007/2008? Who went to jail over these false wars that killed millions of poor innocent people? If we really cared in this country about threats to our security, we'd be looking at our environment, how we treat poor people in this country, we'd be looking at how we treat working people in this country. Surveillance and war are not the answer. Share this post. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think what happened in 1955 is relevant at all. I don't think it should be forgotten but it's a moot point. Why don't you take it further back to the 1800's and slavery and bring that up while you're at it. In fact, let's go back even further when the people of Africa sold there own people off to be slaves...FOR MONEY! All these people of color are the only victims it seems. This kind of stuff happens all the time to poor white trash too but isn't covered at all. Been happening for decades but you would never know it by the media since it only shows blacks. Never seems to happen to Mexicans but maybe once in awhile perhaps but I don't see it covered. I guess I just miss the news whenever that happens I guess. Let me ask you this. How would you like to have this black family over for dinner sometime? No!? Because there black I guess. No, because they act like idiots and drink n drive as well as smoke weed in front of kids and are uneducated trash that you wouldn't want to be associated with perhaps?? Black has nothing to do with it...they are ghetto trash that only ghetto trash can see as an equal. If whites acted the same way as this group, I'd say exactly the same thing...this is not a race thing, it's a people trash thing. How come nice respectable black people don't seem to have the same problem and being "targeted" by police? Nicely dressed, normal non ghetto black people don't seem to be getting shot for "no reason"? We never seem to see on video what led up these shootings...only the few seconds before the shooting? That's odd don't you think? No wait, I'm just a tinfoil wearing conspiracy nut I guess; oh well. This media agenda is tearing this country apart and I sure hope you people can decipher truth from fiction. [/QB][/QUOTE]
