Could you explain what exactly you find in the posts before yours quoted above to be so racist.
Glad to try anyway. I didn't say there was one exact racist statement, sorry, what I am hearing is a recurring theme in many threads here, folks seem to feel under attack and that whites are getting blamed for black problems, so they dig up anything they can to show that blacks and liberals are responsible for the situation. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, like most things in life the truth is somewhere in the middle of course. And conservatives have added their share to the mess too. We are all in the same boat.
Usually the people who deny being racist the most are the biggest racists, since people who are aware of what racism is and how it is almost impossible to avoid in childhood, know that they are infected and are doing what they can to heal from this ugly programming, instead of thrashing around for whatever they can find that will prove their racism is right, and their political party is right, and reinforce the stone wall of denial.
It's so much more important to be right than it is to work on growing out of these awful ways we have been brainwashed. We are all racists, all of us, black and white and brown, the best we can hope for is to acknowledge it and try to move forward with this painful burden we all carry.
It's kind of like alcoholism, you can't begin recovery until you admit your problem. And you know you are an alcoholic for life, but you work with it.
According to the 2010 census 63.7% of the US population is non-Hispanic white people. Could that have something to do with it? There are just more white people?
Not necessarily when you look at percentages - but all articles had some analysis tied to that.....
Yep. Down the rabbit hole... Curiouser and curiouser...
First you go on about blacks killing blacks, so it is all black peoples' fault, then it is white liberals' fault. So, doing the math here, black violence is all the fault of black people and the white liberals. Therefore, you are saying that the white conservative is the black man's best friend in this world.
So, since the white conservative is the savior of the African American, what are your suggestions for helping out your black brethren, since you as a white conservative obviously care so deeply you must have some ideas on this.
After all you are the Great White Hope, since blacks and white liberals have blown it.
Just list a few points, spare us the defensive standard responses, we all know you aren't a racist and that racism doesn't mean anything anyway. Just list a few things that the white conservative would do to make good on his abiding love and respect for the black man. A modest request, we are all ears, we are ashamed at how our liberal folly has ruined the lives of African Americans, please enlighten us.
Clearly the answer to black violence in America is the same answer to all other violence in America, and that is they need more guns. The only thing that will stop a bad black man with a gun is a good black man with a gun.
a good black man with a gun
"Shut your mouth!"
"...just talkin' 'bout Shaft..."
Clearly the answer to black violence in America is the same answer to all other violence in America, and that is they need more guns. The only thing that will stop a bad black man with a gun is a good black man with a gun.

Ala. cheerleading coach quits after wearing racist T-shirt

An Alabama cheerleading coach quit his post after showing up to practice wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with "The Original Boys in the Hood," under an image of a hooded KKK member and a burning cross.
Brian McCracken, the team's assistant vice president, wore the offending shirt to a North Alabama Youth Football & Cheerleading League practice in Boaz, WAFF-TV reported.
His friend, Brian McDowell, accompanied him, wearing a "White Pride" shirt.
Both men said their attire was a joke.
Volunteer coach Kayleigh Tipton said she lost her position after complaining about the men's shirts.
"It's awful," Tipton told the station. "I mean, I don't understand it. I don't want my kids around it. No one I know wants their kids around anything like that."
She complained to Commissioner Kenny Jones, she said.
"We ended up taking care of the situation," Jones said. "We informed the parents they are no longer allowed to wear that type of shirt to any NAYF functions. We have zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory apparel or anything."
Tipton says she was asked to not come back as a voluntary coach. "I'm just disgusted because I feel like I didn't do anything wrong besides make a complaint that should have been kept private to begin with," Tipton said.
McCracken and his wife, Melynnda, who was vice president of the cheer squad, have resigned.
"Boyz n the Hood" is a 1991 America gang drama based in South-Central Los Angeles. It starred Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morris Chestnut Larry Fishburne, Nia Long, and Angela Bassett.
2 men cheerleader coaches ?
Well, it is Alabama.
Black Pro-Lifers: If “Black Lives Matter,” Why Don’t They Protest Abortion?
Washington, DC
Each and every life matters – but, as the media cry “black lives matter,” they conveniently forget the millions of black babies destroyed in abortion.
The phrase “Black Lives Matter” surfaced in the news and on social media after a grand jury’s decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the murder of 18-year-old criminal Michael Brown last month. The mantra continued after a viral video showed Eric Garner’s death after a confrontation with New York police.
From the beginning, the media pushed the phrase – while, at the same time, ignored a Nov. 27 CDC report revealing 78 percent of the babies aborted in New York City in 2011 were black and Hispanic.
In correspondence with MRC Culture, pro-life leaders like Dr. Alveda King (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece), responded by claiming, “if [the media] really thought that black lives matter they would be protesting abortion on demand.” Former Rep. Allen West called out the “hypocrisy” of the “new leftist progressive soundbite” while The Radiance Foundation’s Ryan Bomberger asked, ““[H]ow sincere is the mantra that #BlackLivesMatter if the violent act of abortion and the disproportionate slaughter of unborn minority children is praised as ‘reproductive justice’?”
Apparently only some black lives matter.

Ben Carson has conducted research on aborted fetuses and wrote a research paper on it. He continues to defend doing this research. He may not be the best person to critique "Black lives Matter."
My primary responsibility in that research was when I operated on people and obtained the tissue. This has everything to do with how it’s acquired,” he said to the Post. “If you’re killing babies and taking the tissue, that’s a very different thing than taking a dead specimen and keeping a record of it.”
But Carson’s medical research was specifically done using tissue from aborted babies, according to the report, a practice he has criticized as he is now running for president.
“There’s nothing that can’t be done without fetal tissue,” Carson said on Fox News when speaking about the Planned Parenthood scandal videos. “t’s been over-promised what the benefits of fetal research would be. And very much under-delivered.”

Do you have an explanation or theory for the comparatively high level of abortions among minority children? You do know that abortion rates in white dominated Scandinavian countries are likely higher than the numbers you cite for minorities in NYC? So this would take race out of the equation.

“an explanation or theory”
Poor education, lack of values, poverty, damaged family structures and multi-generational dependence on government handouts.
It is no coincidence that most Planned Parenthood abortion mills in minority neighborhoods.

Okay pops, enthrall us with your acumen.
Why are 78 percent of the babies aborted in New York City in 2011 black and Hispanic?
Why does the Black Live Matter gang point their anger at white people when over 90% of black people are murdered by other black people?
Explain that to us pops.
Nice try. Try reading from the article I posted. Trying to make 'Black Lives Matter' about something else is typical for you.....
No, that cry would likely resonate for him for the same reason it resonates for so many others. Namely because, while police abuse is not unknown in other lives, it is disproportionate in black lives. This is what Huckabee and the “All lives matter” crowd quail at recognizing. To treat where it hurts, one must first acknowledge that it still hurts, something conservatives often find hard to do because it gives the lie to their self-congratulatory balloon juice about how this country has overcome its founding sin.
That sort of willful ignorance has, unfortunately, become ubiquitous.

That's actually a pretty optimistic viewpoint. "Willful" would mean that otherwise conscious and rational people are being ignorant by choice. From what I've seen out there it just looks like plain old stone ignorance, in a dumbed-down, toxic, medicated to the gills, mentally ill, physically shot population. This country is doomed. How are we supposed to function when a growing majority is too out of shape to walk to the mailbox and too illiterate to read the mail if they do somehow make it there?
I have a friend who is very intelligent (I worked with him for many years). He kept sending me all of the right wing emails. After I continued to send them back to his entire list with the links to snopes and politifact showing they were hoaxes, he took me off his list (thankfully). I asked him why he believed all the hoaxes and kept sending them on, and he said ' I want to believe them....'
Made no sense to me...... he slipped up and sent me one recently - I attached the snopes and politifact links again.... showing one of the stories was false and had started being sent around in 2008.... hopefully he will remember to take me off the list again...

I had that happen with my former father in law.
The garbage he sent my way (before Obama was elected) was amazing.
I'd "reply all" and send the snopes link to each one.
He finally got pissed enough to tell me to stop, his PASTOR was the one who originated most of the emails.
Was his pastor a cheerleading coach?
Was his pastor a cheerleading coach?
Or pals with Jared Fogle?
Sine pops won’t answer the questions I’ll open it up to everyone here:
Why are 78 percent of the babies aborted in New York City in 2011 black and Hispanic?
Why does the Black Live Matter gang point their anger at white people when over 90% of black people are murdered by other black people?
Why?

This thread is about responses to Black Lives Matter.
Here is a challenge. Stop all the noise and chatter for one post, and see if you can answer this question yes or no:
Do black lives matter?
Not a rant about guns, violence, abortion, drugs, crime, welfare, liberals, racism... just a one word answer, yes or no.
So, here we go:
Do black lives matter?
My answer: Yes.
This should be telling. Just a yes or no answer. Can you do it? Then back to the ranting. Just interested to see if people are able to answer this question without a whole bunch of verbal gymnastics.
Next?
Yes.
So sang defects to his own interpretation on the issue, BereRabbit won’t answer the questions and responds with his own ridiculous question that no one else is asking and ron evades the questions as well.
Three liberals evading the actual questions.
Cowardice does not save lives or solves the root problems.
To BereRabbit: All Lives Matter.
There's your trouble.
There's your trouble.
___________________________________________________________________________
Running away from and not addressing the actual problems add to the crisis.
You can be part of the problem or part of the solution. Your choice.
Ok, got it. Points noted. There is much merit in what you say.
I agree, all lives matter, absolutely.
Now back to our challenge:
Do all lives matter? Yes.
Do white lives matter? Yes.
Do black lives matter? Yes.
See? Not so difficult! You can do it!
Now, let's see if you are able to answer a simple yes or no question:
Do black lives matter?
Yes or no!

Yes, of course black lives matter. I don't hear a lot of people out there saying they don't.
They need to matter as much on every other day of the year as much as just Election Day.

Pretty good. Not quite yes or no, had to attach politics, but close. You get a B+.
If it is so obvious that black lives matter, then why is it so hard for Muleman to just answer "Yes" or "No" to the question:
Do black lives matter?
Yes or no.
