Would we EVEN see headline like this for a Black actor?

7th Heaven Star Stephen Collins Completely Safe After Police Rush to His Home






First off don't get me started about this hypocrit who if I remwmber correctly LOVE his role in 7th Heaven because America has lost "Good Old fashion family values"...I don't want to talk about it...


What I seem to be seeing more and more headlines... We need to start asking... Are the cops that are "serving and protecting" us racists?


Maybe we need look into that?


a white guys house get rushed and we see a headline like that BUT what happens if it was a Black celebrity OR just an average Joe Smith down the street who happens to be black?



For the record: yes, I am a white man and Yes, I probably have no right to ask a question on race like this but my wife and I have been seeing the headlines and we got pissed that Zimmerman "got off" We believe that juror who cause that mess should have seen jail time.) And we got pissed when Ferguson happened and not to mention that stupid ass cop who shot that guy in the gas station for getting his wallet.

If we started looking at it. How many cops are racist? How deeply is it enbeded in our police force? Maybe all cops should be fired and that system started new.

1. We probably would...

Celebrity=Money+Power and that trumps all else in our society.

[get the red out]

3. You might be right

It can be hard to separate racism from worship of the elite, even those accused of the worst of crimes.

[diabeticman]

5. Maybe you are right. But it seemed pro-football players accused and some convicted of

domestic violence get such kind headlines.

2. Police Rush to Jackson Family Home Following News of a Reported Gunshot

Police rushed to the family home of Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket after receiving a call that a gunshot was fired in the Calabasas residence yesterday, a source told E! News.

Once the cops arrived at the scene, they found that nothing had happened at The Oaks community mansion and they had been pranked.

LAPD spokesperson Steve Whitmore confirmed that cops responded to a call, but wouldn't go into further detail.

7. Yeah-- Where is the "completely safe" in the Jackson headline?

it is the completely safe that irks me.

4. Is he the guy that admitted to his wife that he exposed himself on more than one occasion

to young girls? I'm talking in the 10-13 age range. Apparently he and his wife were in counseling (going through big divorce) and someone recorded his confession and released it to media.

[Autumn]

6. Yes we would. People heard a pop and thought maybe he shot himself.

When people call and report something like that the police respond. It's called a welfare check and yes they do it for anybody, black or white young or old.

[diabeticman]

10. Again I ask would it have such a calming reassuing headlines? We often see headlines of

house rushed after gun shots but this headline of him "completely safe" is something I never seen before in a headline and just gives me the feeling of... I don't know...maybe it is me ....

[Autumn]

11. So your claim of racism rests on two words?

"completely safe". It's E "news."

[diabeticman]

12. okay call me stupid and put me on ignore but I see it in my local new daily as well.

Things get written and reported differently when it is white vs black. Especially how police report things

[Autumn]

13. I see no reason to ignore you.

I just see it differently.

8. What happened at his house? The site is blocked for me.

[diabeticman]

15. They rushed his house after a "welfare" call came in about possible suicide. Gun at house...

9. I'm more disturbed you think a juror should go to jail for a ruling you don't like.

Regardless if it's an acquittal or conviction, jurors shouldn't go to jail because of the outcome unless a juror did something illegal during the proceedings like take a bribe.

14. Google or Yahoo Zimmerman trail. juror 37B was getting a book deal. She forced other jurors into

the verdict.


look at what juror 29b said
