Yeah like who cares what they call their progeny

Had neighbors who named their kids Clark and Candy Barr. Not that I really care, but seemed not cool.

I had an apprentice tin knocker who worked for me in the 80's who's name was Harry Lipp & his fathers name was Richard Lipp who taught me to operate cranes,both good dudes,he thought we would tease him about his name when he 1st hired into the union & nobody cared,he said he caught hell about his name at the scab shop he worked at before joining my crew,even in the 80's I was amazed adults cared what peoples names were,I wouldn't name my kid dick but to each his own

Toby was a play on a character in "Roots". They didn't like his African name and forced him ( via whip ) to answer to the name Toby.

Wasn't thinking about that,I was thinking I know a guy named Toby ,other than being a drunken Irish fool after a few drinks he's a good dude .

More whites are killed than blacks by cops.

which race is about 4 times more likely to be killed by cops, red?

Whites, but it's only twice as likely

Dick Cheney did not make money off the Iraq war...The thinking of Red and proof of his idiocy

I have experienced the same treatment. I think it's a mistake to assume it was racism. Cops think they are above the law often. If this was only happening to blacks, I would assume it to be racism, but it's not just happening to blacks. More whites are killed than blacks by cops.

The fact that it's happened to you, well that changes everything. What on earth was I thinking?

 

[bearkat42]

but keep complaining you will end up like Leonard Pelletier!

Even with my "complaining", I've done pretty well so far. Now how is your "not complaining" going?

 

[bearkat42]

Oh boy,.... Your big moment......aim high, shoot low.

Uh huh.

Math can be difficult. I understand.

You weren't thinking. You made a knee jerk assumption based on assumption

You're probably right. It's a good thing that you were here to straighten me out. No telling how far I may have taken this.

nope. wrong again, red.

 

[ttystikk]

This is true. As I've said on several occasions however, I don't really expect any meaningful reform because that would require them to actually admit that something was wrong at an institutional level. Contrary to the belief of many, these are NOT merely "isolated incidents". This is institutionalized racism, plain and simple.

Not only this, but it's become more acceptable for cops to use deadly force. Thsee two trends have combined with disastrous results when it comes to policing and people of color.

I'm struggling with solutions. It seems like a downward spiral with no way out...

It is, worse thing is that they didn't smell shit they took the word of my neighbor.

"Illegible"
