I agree with you. I was trying to point out to a poster who felt mentioning his name with the President was some kind of "code"....which in street creds means a way to say make a racial remark ! It was not and I am, frankly, sick of every time there is a disagreement or a non starter with someone who is of a different race ends up racist.
You know I, as a white man, disagree with a man who is black, and guess what....NOT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK but problem is folks like that poster want to make it racial and then blame you .
Amazing and very very non productive.
THIS thread by BTK spoke to the misconceptions, etc about our police and this is how it happens. Thus far, one poster used the key word "code" in essence suggesting the comment about Sharpton being a friend and confidante of the President was meant to be racial. It was not racial....it is TRUE.
Another poster makes a general absolute no specific remark to another about it show who "to promote racism says a lot about who is promoting hatred." without mentioning who that is and to make posters feel guilty about how they feel. This is all over, not just on TOTV and it serves no useful purpose. Attacking another person in such generalities is at the root of all of these problems. Cops are NOT out to shoot young blacks. They are there to enforce the law....and everyone should respect that and listen to them. They CANNOT arrest you, or do anything to you if you have not done anything wrong. The ONLY time we interact with them is when there is trouble. If we listen to them, and in my opinion, they are in charge when they come to the scene of trouble, we are not in fear. Spreading in GENERALITIES the misconception, actually ANY misconception is just plain wrong.
