Which one? The first one?

I’ll ask again, are there any successful black Americans?

If you answer yes, with any quantitative thought about earnings (or your standard), then follow this secondary question, do Indians and ***s help each other?

This is why we’re discussing victimhood and the acknowledgment why many black Americans have a gripe with not helping each other out.

Rap music talks about slanging and making stacks etc etc etc... seems like a good living or influence to go by, but Rap music doe and incarcerations

If the thought is black Americans don't help each other much. That's true. There isn't much unity. Many of them adopted the individualistic, capitalist, white American culture.

I say "them" because I refused to identify with that view since I was a child, thanks to my parents. I'm more of a communitarian and like to share what I have.

Look at Floyd and his "What has Africa done for me?" That still doesn't negate the root of the suffering. People like Floyd are ignorant and selfish.

No he doesn't deserve to go to jail. His actions are within the legal limitations. If someone pulls out a lethal weapon and attacks a cop, he is allowed to use lethal force to stop them, irrespective or age, gender, or race.

Now I agree I wouldn't have shot her, I would have just kicked her in the chest or something. She couldn't have been that fast and she fo damn sho would have dropped the knife on her way down.

But the cop acted lawfully nonetheless and who is to say the old woman ain't a black belt or something. Cops are people too and have the right to defend themselves when threatened.

But I think people trying to compare this to black folks protests are just being incensitive. Black folk have been shot without brandishing a weapon and without attacking officers, they been shot while trying to comply with cop instructions. Some have been shot while resisting arrest, but then what do you do when you're being harassed by the cop and being arresting for just being black? Did you know that you have thr right to resist an unlawful arrest. Also some these white cops, if not harass, outright provoke black folk and then shoot them when they react to their provocation.

This is completely different to what happened to this woman. She attacked with a knife, that's just asking to get shot no matter what colour, age, or gender you are.

PS. Some of these black guys are gang****ers though, hardcore, serious criminals with no compulsion about killing people, innocent or otherwise, cop or otherwise. So it's a tricky situation, some of these cops are prob walking around terrified out their minds, but they chose the job and they been trained for it, so they just gotta do their jobs properly man.

Hey man, every one of them deserved it, if the shootings were considered “lawful”, right?

And yet when there’s objectivity or trying to prove points some just claim “racism” as a form of denial.

Show me anywhere along this post where I’ve used racism as a form of denial to deny anything that’s true, thx I’ll wait................................

You are right. Thank you for posting this. I said that a few posts in. I've never been to the Lounge so I won't be going there. Not interested in the topic.

Why TF was she shot?

Does this just happen regularly or something...what the hell is the reason behind shooting an old lady? Wtf is up with them American police officers man?! Kill that deputy

[P4Pdunny]

Had to re-read the title. Very sad and condolences to him and family.

I could disarm an old lady carrying a knife easily, obviously american cops aren't tough enough for that kind of thing. Weak people.

Youre too naive and ******, you wouldnt last a month max before getting killed.

Keep your gay fantasies to yourself.

How about tasing her? Why is the first response to kill her? I guess you don't value human life much.

Ciao.

She pulled a lethal weapon on him. Is he supposed to hit her with a bag of feathers?
