What message? Commit Crime A do time A?
Or what actually happened? Commit Crime A and blacks and hispanics will do A. Whites will do time B or even C.
That's the issue. And it comes down the judges and jurys. Laws are laws.
It's ALWAYS been the application of laws that's been race-based and unfair.
If we talk about it, and then Democrats are soft on crime.
No. We are saying that the courts found value in the young lives of whites committing the same crimes, why can't we have that same benefit of doubt? Or opportunity to have a life after a mistake?
That's what I'm saying. Unless, you think whites and blacks who commit the same crime are treated the same in the judicial system.
If you do, then there is nothing to discuss, because those same statistics you point to, show that.
How many black men are dead or have police bullets in them, for a minor, and non-violent alleged violation?
It's a nice rainy day here in Florida which is good time to stay in and tell a story. I don't tell this to get a pat on the back because that not me. It was a real heartfelt moment that literally brought me to tears. This happened just last week.
I was at a bar I frequent when this dude and his wife, both white, came in. They are from Indiana. Sitting two seats from me was a black woman whom I have spoke with but I really don't know her other than talking to her a couple of times before.
The dude comes up to the bar to order then turns towards me and motions with his thumb pointing toward her and mouthed WTF. At first I thought maybe it's because of her dreads. Which I thought were cool but that was the only thing at the time that crossed my mind.
A little while later a black dude walks in. He too was someone I had talked to once before at the bar. Same white dude says "who let in Kevin Hart." As soon as he said that I realized what he was referring about the black woman. He also yelled at the bartender who is white but he was being disrespectful. This dude was pissing me off.
I approached the black dude and told him what he said. I told him how much it saddens me that there are people who still think this ******* and had his back if he says anything else. Luckily for him he didn't. I gave the dude a hug and said I hope this bullshit ends one day.
I never have nor ever will condone or be a part of racism!
So ed when I say "so
they get free *******" I mean that in general liberal terms not a specific race.
When I call Kamala a phony bitch it's because that's how I feel about her as a person not because she is black. Hillary is more of a phony bitch!
When I say I didn't think Obama was a good President it's not because he is black. I voted for the dude. I didn't think GWB was a good President.
It seems too easy for you to judge ones character by certain catch phrase words that do have different meanings other than your own. I admit to being naïve on certain issues and admit when I am wrong on others. For me what I post is strictly that, my opinion. It doesn't mean I dislike anyone who disagrees with them. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Just reminded myself of my naivety. When FUBU came out I bought shoes, pants, hat, shirt. I had no idea what FUBU stood for. I just liked the clothes. I don't remember how long it was after wearing them when someone asked me if I knew what it stood for. When the person told me I was like ok so what.
I don't dispute the disparity in time sentenced/served. All I can say it isn't right and the only ones who can do anything about it don't seem to be.
My daughters fiancé is Hispanic. He moved to the US when he was six.
My ******* and he had a domestic issue and he was arrested. My ******* said the cops were taking notes of her side of what occurred but not his side. He now has a stay away order and can't go to his home even though my ******* is gone for 30 days.
I was on the Zoom conference with the judge vouching for him and explained the whole thing was a convoluted mess. Long story short the judge denied the motion. Made me think for a minute if he was white???
Bottom line ed you can extrapolate, twist my words to your liking, mix and match but I can assure you being a racist is something I have never been accused of until now. The only reason it doesn't bother me coming from you is because I know you have no clue who I am. If we were to sit down throw back a few bourbons have a conversation then you walked away still feeling that way then it would bother me.
