Enjoy your stay at DU. It WILL be brief.

6. The Washington Times is not a credible source...

It is a rabid right wing rag owned by the rabid right wing Sun Myung Moon.

As to the rest of your post, well....unlike Michael Brown, you are still alive, aren't you.

[santroy79]

8. well unlike Brown

I didnt assault a cop and try and take his gun???

Try google! Its like you just dont want to hear the truth! Watch the local news channel report on the stories. Geez

[Spazito]

11. Wow, there are uninformed posts and then there are ridiculously uninformed posts...

this post is in the latter category.

16. What is important here isnt the inevitable defense of cop scenario, especially if dead person is

African American.

What is important here is it would appear the majority or close to it of DEMOCRATS are on the side of the cops, this is something I have witnessed and it concerns me greatly.

I would have thought the Democratic Party was the safe haven of people who think justice is only when all receive it equally.

I would have thought the Democratic Party would be home to people who would be willing to do almost anything to stop injustice.

Guess not.

21. Nice try, major fail n/t

22. I wish it was, but any honest observer here would say I am right...

[Spazito]

23. You do realize there are not only Democrats here, right?

Adding to that, to judge anything in general by the posts on Democratic Underground is foolish, it is merely one of thousands of forums.

24. If there was a forum where only dems or liberals were, i would love to know about it

[Spazito]

25. Using search engines are a good way to start looking n/t

26. There isnt, not where more than 20 people at a time visit, i have been around, boy have I

12. Unlike Brown you're alive to explain that you didn't assault a cop & try to take his gun.

[LiberalElite]

9. "don't do bad things and crap won't happen to you". codswallop

look, there it's irrefutable that young black men are incarcerated at a much higher rate than young black men for the same offenses. And what about "driving while black"? There's no argument over that being a real phenomenon as well.

this isn't about making white people feel bad. It's about trying to get people to understand the institutionalized racism that is so prevalent.

I don't expect you to understand this.

[cali]

13. you won't last here more than another few minutes

so I'm trying to engage with you before you get shit canned.

I'm curious. Do you think racism exists in this country? Do you think it's widespread? Do you think there is no such thing as white privilege?

[99Forever]

14. Well bud, the difference is...

... you're still converting oxygen to CO2 and posting on the web. If you weren't white, the odds are long you wouldn't be.

And despite your BS claim that "Dont do bad things and crap wont happen to you." anyone with a functional brain living in reality knows better. Bad things happen to people doing absolutely NOTHING wrong all the time. Your denial says nothing more than how out of touch you are.

15. How hard do you have to work....

to be so willfully ignorant?

19. How about this list?

10. Maybe add something like "and imagine all this happening with your kids in the car with you."

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

27. And while we argue about this and guns and religion, the Oligarchs, the One Percent are

flying to the Bahama's for the weekend in their private jet.

They are making more money in one day than any 10 of us will make in 10 lifetimes.

They do not earn the money, they TAKE it from our economic system by using ALL of us.

When will we say we wont do their work for them any longer?

28. Somehow I missed this earlier... but now I've seen it, so K&R. nt
