You applied my characterization of people ensconced in victimhood to be directly racial.

It's not.

Well, if you weren't talking about black people then your comment was off topic because the poll in the article being discussed is about how black people perceive their treatment by the Police. But of course you know Goddamned well that's what the discussion is about, you're just trying to play games.

He's Al Sharpton if you could prove Al was neither black or historically accurate.

Later, this guy got drummed out of a state school even though he had tenure.

Loser...

Which is exactly my point.

So you concur that the race baiters expecting entitled treatment and excused behavior -- whining about The Man when they don't get it -- are the problem?

That's not the fault of police.

I don't know how else this can be taken...that you're suggesting that the half of blacks who feel they've been treated unfairly by police are somehow to be put in the same category of idiots that you point out in your post.

I'm just pointing out that a lot of people feel a lot of ways about a lot of things. What matters most is facts. Feelings from various segments of the population may derive from fact and they may derive from hunches, conventional wisdom, wives tales or the media. There is plenty of racial coverage lately from which different people draw different conclusions.

For example, a significant portion of the GOP base sincerely believe that blacks are getting over on them. Should we be equally concerned about their feelings?

No, Zeke. The point is TJ asked if you were a blonde Indian so I posted a picture of a blonde "Indian", a flaming loser asshole. Get the connection now?
