For the FTP's amongst us

Zimmerman's mother was Peruvian and of Afro-Peruvian ancestry.

 

Cute dodge. Ineffective but cute.

 

Smart people hate that Obama used the event to further fan the false narrative of a sweet innocent young boy of color out on an evening stroll gunned down by panicked white guy.

But you keep on believing it’s just that white people hate Obama for being (half) black, if it helps you sleep at night.

 

OJ before or after Time Magazine retouched the photo?

 

I don't know what Zimmerman is, I was talking about what you said about Hispanics and immigration. If the overwhelming majority of Hispanics migrating from south of the border are brown, it's not all that surprising that people use both terms interchangeably when discussing migration.

 

Inflexible, intolerant...the whole nine yards.

 

White people come in all colors too, just look at Obama.

 

True. There are also Caucasian Africans, but that distinction is rarely made in most conversations.

 

Exactly.

 

Light skinned hispanics can be racist as hell against dark skinned. Brazilians for instance are like that.

People assume hispanics/latinos are one big happy culture. Nah bro. My Costa Rican neighbour said Puerto Ricans "live like pigs".

 

“You guys”?

 

The family of my daughter's Columbian boyfriend are not highly complimentary of the good people of Mexico. Then again, they say that speaking Castillian Spanish sounds gay.

 

I can’t help but laugh when I remember a kid from Africa who applied for a scholarship that he ultimately was awarded only for it to be rescinded after it became known he was actually a white “African American“ kid and not a black “African American” kid. No racism here.

 

What exactly have I said repeatedly? There are plenty of instances where my responses have supported LEOs. In fact, I’m positive that I have posted just as many pro LEO post than anti LEO post. My only issue is that LEO shouldn’t be immune to being held accountable when they violate citizens rights and or break the law. For some reason you are immune from understanding this and directly equate it to me being nothing but FTP and that I hate the police and that they are not necessary which I have never stated nor do I believe.

I’ll gladly copy this post in order to share it with you again and again repeatedly.

 

If we're talking the sudden absence of all LEO at every level, we're just right back to forming society all over again. If they all disappeared immediately, there would be mass chaos and mass casualties, but the world is nothing but good people forming that line over and over again then asking some to take the job of protecting it. There's nuance to it, but we put the police at the line - they don't draw it, they enforce it.
