[QUOTE]Originally posted by Martinna: [QB] [b]135.0 ----[/b] Reread my post. The solution is there, but you have to think about it. The problem today isn't just police quick to kill citizens, like [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0]Philando Castile from MN[/URL] or [URL=https://www.youtube.com/embed/XxErjH-MYQo]Dylan Noble from Fresno[/URL] that got pulled over for doing a little burn out in his V8 truck. The government is increasingly quick to use violence against not only other countries, but also against its citizens. Did you hear the [URL=http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/disabled-woman-beaten-bloody-by-tsa-agents-after-becoming-confused-and-afraid-at-security-checkpoint/]TSA just beat a 19 year old girl bloody?[/URL] She is blind in one eye, partly deaf, paralyzed and was on her way for brain tumor treatment! Laws are not applied equally. Laws instead are used as tools for the rich and powerful to exert their will on the not so rich and not so powerful. Bankers can steal until the economy collapses. Lying crooked politicians can do what ever they want and not have laws apply to them. Generals can torture innocent people and invade innocent countries. The NSA and FBI can bypass the constitution and have access to all of your communications. Now you ask what's the solution to violence government brings against its own citizens? History shows it's inevitable for any country engaged in an endless War posture, that the war mentality, war tactics and war weaponry will be imported to its homeland to be used against its citizens. [b]9cobra7 -----[/b] you missed the point of the 1955 story. The lesson Mamie Till wanted to teach modern Americans of today was to share the pictures. Share the videos. This isn't ancient history. Today's children see what happened to [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0]Philando Castile from MN[/URL]. Their parents saw what happened to [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdZ5xuZOlbk]Rodney King[/URL]. Their grandparents saw what happened to [URL=http://www.voice-online.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/455/Emmett_Till.jpg]Emmett Till[/URL]. For too long and too many times violence has been introduced into the black community by outsiders. Keep reading to understand why their anger is legitimate. You are right, the color of skin has nothing to do with it. You'll get the same results if you pick people of any color skin, kidnap them, ship them over like sardines. Break up their families. Rape their women and enslave their men to do free labor for you. Then let them go "free" as long as they have their papers, have laws apply differently to them. Not let them vote, put them in the back of the bus, not let them marry outside their race, keep them out of schools and even give them "special" drinking fountains. Then within the length of a human's lifetime, wonder why it's taking this group so long to assimilate into society. Shit, look at what has been done to these poor people in your grandparents lifetime alone. This isn't ancient history. The reasons you wouldn't invite Philando Castile to dinner are the results of the conditions that he was born into and not because some evil "ghetto trash" streak is running through America's economically disadvantaged communities like many American's on both the right and left secretly believe. How do you know baby Philando didn't see people's heads blown off as a young child? How do you know baby Philando wasn't high all the time from his mother's 2nd hand weed smoke? How do you know little Philando didn't go to bed cold and hungry? Now 18 years later you wonder why Philando isn't good at arithmetic and English? Why Philando has no college education? Why Philando isn't a productive member of this society? You can't expect a rose to grow from the concrete. Reflect on your life today compared to the other 7 billion people on Earth and realize just how damn lucky you are. Be thankful for the sacrifices made and luck your family had to get you this far, because billions lost out on the chance to be born in your shoes. It's not their fault. They just weren't lucky.
