They think "thugs" are allowed to rob and mug non "thugs" and that if you shoot one of them, even if you have witnesses and obvious evidence that the "thug" was doing you bodily harm, they think it's ok for the "thug" to do that.
The next day you will see the 30 year old "thug" you shot in his graduation outfit from high school on CNN because that's the only picture where he looked like a decent human being. days later you'll get the photos of him robbing stores and the photo his "thug" buddy took of him holding a gun and $18 in his other hand.
And then..........."thugs lives matter"
then riotsss
then some stupid "thug" leader will say it is outside "thugs" starting the looting and riots...but we all know that's bullshit. it's the dumb "thugs" that live in that town.
The fuck is it with the quotation marks? Is there something you mean when you say "thug" instead of its normal definition?
if you don't know then you must be the only one that doesn't get it.
So you're racist? You think that people do terrible things because of the color of their skin, rather than because of the multitude of other factors that had to do with their upbringing?
Damn, it must suck to be so simplistic.

Absolutely let's avoid calling a spade a spade. I, for one, say his tough-guy attitude is totally colorblind. After all, we live in a post-color world and we should use post-color speech to describe the irrational tendency of some to distrust and vilify other people along completely random patterns which would appear to completely elude any apparent logical explanation.

Damn, it must suck to be so simplistic.
I guess you didn't get a chance to watch the riots....watch youtube on all the recent riots....count how many white/lading were involved.......I'll help you out zero. Cincinnati riots....only black people........Baltimore riots.....only black people.....Ferguson riots.......only black people.
You'll notice the protest had all races.....but when groups left the protest to riot......the groups were 100% black.
Why do people hate to admit this kind of shit? that white kid killed them 7-8 black people at he church, that was a horrible thing for him to do, but god damn it's ok to call that what it was, racism.
so I'm simplistic? you must be to simple to look at statistics. like the % of black people in jail vs black people % of America.
They account for way less than half of our population but account for way over half of violent crimes committed in America. I could go on forever but I can already tell your too simple to understand statistics.
I hope one day people are adult enough that we can talk about some real issues in America instead of being afraid of talking about them.
I know upbringing and environment make the person, I understand that. But goto any major city and you'll see that it's cool to be a thug. I'm not saying all blacks are like that, I know a ton of awesome normal people that are black.
If black people from these inner cities would quit acting like thugging around is cool you'd see a positive change but goto Vine St in Cincinnati and try to talk it out with some of the thugs about making a positive change, gopro it so everyone can see how it goes.
I know now your going to bring up a bad white neighbourhood, but does it really compare to places like overtown in Miami?
Why is 90% of the show "The First 48" about black on black crime? Why are 90% of the stories about a dead black person? If white neighbourhoods are as bad why do we only see a couple about white people?
Also note how many police are in neighbourhoods like that.
The worst street with the most crime in every major city is always a 100% black street. Why is that?
So I know it's not their skin color that makes them like that. It's how they think they should act to be cool that makes them like that.
I'm not simplistic, I just understand statistics and watch the news.
-------------------- Nothing I write on Shroomery's message boards or in private messages are true. I am fucking crazy and I make all this shit up because I can.

People are too worried about being PC here to actually acknowledge these things. I got called a racist for pointing out that every time a white person shoots/kills a black person, the races are listed in the headline and said multiple times throughout the article, but when it's reversed, you have to Google those involved to see which races they were. I'm racist because I noticed a trend among the media. koods got all butthurt with me because I tried to point out a fallacy in his assumptions on the church shooting. He said it was automatically racist because some white guy shot a bunch of black people (this was long before the shooter was even identified, much less his ideals and I even admitted in the thread before that point that it most likely was racially motivated, but we didn't know that yet, and he was just making assumptions and stating them as facts). If killing a bunch of people of a particular race is automatically racist, then how isn't it racist when a black dude shoots a bunch of black people. To which I got no answer other than basically "you're an idiot". As if there aren't people who are racist against their own race out there.
I don't oppress anyone, I don't think that every black person out there is a "thug", I don't just judge people because of their race, I'm just willing to acknowledge the facts. I think if anything that makes me less racist than those who get all squeamish anytime it's brought up. I'm willing to actually discuss things without trying to censor anything and make allowances towards certain people in an attempt to not offend them. I'm a person, I treat them like a person. We are equal as far as skin color goes. No skin color does not determine who you are as a person, but culture is a great influence and you cannot sit here and honestly tell me that the culture responsible for "thugs" is not deeply tied to a certain skin color. It is highly perpetuated in a certain group of people.
Don't like me because I'm willing to acknowledge all of this? Not my problem. I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend like it doesn't exist.

This country is loaded with neo-Nazis and it was very obviously an act of white-supremacist terrorism. You're upset that koods, and everybody else with enough common sense to realize that, turned out to be dead on the money. We called it. You didn't. Catch up. The media has been covering for white supremacy. A huge proportion of mass murders in this country are committed by neo-Nazis who make their racism plainly known to the public, staging ghoulish displays of Darwinism in action, and it is always attributed by the media to mental problems. For some reason they don't seem too comfortable with bringing up the menacing national culture of white supremacy and its vigorous, ongoing terrorism. They certainly wouldn't be too comfortable with infiltrating white-supremacist organizations to kill their leaders with drone strikes, like we do with foreign terrorist movements.
The thug culture, you inherently stereotype as a black thing. You should stereotype Nazism as a white thing too, just to be fair. You might as well assume that white people who don't tan are neo-Nazis.

How am I upset "you called it" when I flat out admitted that it was the likely case. I wasn't arguing that it was unlikely, I was arguing that it was absurd to just act like it was fact before anyone had ANY details other than "black people shot white person the shooter".
Explain how the media has been covering for white supremacy when for the last year or two ANYTIME a black person is shot by a white person, the fucking headline is "White cop shoots black". Yet not even a week ago a headline of another shooting was basically "Cop shot, shooter identified, manhunt underway". Then you Google the names of the people involved, and learn that it was a black guy who shot a white cop. Give me a fucking break. If anyone's crimes are being covered up or suppressed by the media, is the black criminals, not the white ones.
As for the shootings you're speaking of that are constantly being attributed to mental problems, they are RANDOM. Go to wiki and look up the victims of the Aurora shooting. Tell me how neo-nazism was involved at all. The (fatally injured) victims were all fucking white. I didn't cherry pick that incident either. I just picked the first one that came to mind that fit the profile (white person shooting a bunch of people who had mental issues) and started Googling races to see if your theory had any credence at all.

No, I mean that it doesn't help your argument to point out that the media completely ignored the influence of white supremacist movements over a long string of terrorist attacks spanning decades until it was forced by social media to cover it. And it's still incredibly controversial because of how many white people are flat-out in denial of how influential and organized these movements actually are.

You are literally one of the most racist people on these boards. All you do is talk about how oppressive and violent white people are towards black people. Then someone posts an article about how a single fucking white guy was assaulted by a GANG of black people, and somehow it was still the white person's fault. You are the very definition of an apologist and a poster child for how one's race does not exclude them from being racist against that race.
You are racist because you judge white people by what other white people did 60+ years ago. To you it's ALL the same. 60 years ago, white people were racist. Am I (or most anyone who sides against you) like 80 years old? No, then we had no part in that. Just because we aren't bending over and taking the BBC, doesn't mean we're racist. I am willing to open a dialogue and discuss things. You on the other hand just want to label every white person who isn't gleefully sucking a black man's dick and apologizing, as a white supremacists.
I don't ignore anyone on principal, but you are really pushing it. I try to remain civil, but I am human and I cannot be perfect. So yes, I'm pretty much fed up with all your white hating and apologist bullshit. Every fucking time you post I know I'm about to read some of the most ridiculously PC bullshit. I am sick and fucking tired as being labeled as a racist BY the most racist regular poster that exists here. You are more closed minded than all the people you like to call transphobes. Which is what pisses me off so much. I fucking hate hypocrites.

Wow, I haven't seen a thread this stupid in a while.
I lived in ferguson for 17 years, does that mean I can get 17 million for living in what was, essentially, a really great place to live and grow up?
The subdivision I lived in was beautiful, the houses were huge, and the area was really nice - I could easily run around and play with my friends all day as a kid. There were no poor people around. Such is the wealth disparity from neighborhood to neighborhood. It was absolutely a great place to grow up.
I worked in the part of Ferguson that Mike Brown was killed for 3 years, delivering pizza, and not once was I robbed or shot or beaten or even really messed with at all. For the most part, the people in the poor areas of Ferguson are just normal people trying to pay their bills and live their life like the rest of us - without being randomly killed by police officers.
Dumb fuckin thread. Living in a shitty area of chicago or detroit would probably be a lot worse than ferguson.
OP, you are stupid.

That's not what OP said and Shroomslip agrees. They explicitly said that they associate "thug culture" with black people. Shroomslip also literally seems to believe that white-supremacist terrorism hasn't occurred in 60 years. And apparently I'm a fucking racist for acknowledging the presence and influence of white-supremacist extremism in this country.

Well don't they (black people) acknowledge themselves much more frequently as thugs as well? I bet if you took a cross section of musical lyrics well over 80% of self-references as 'thug' are going to be in black songs
