Thread: I blame the media for "racism" in America(if this is legit)

Yeahhh, I'd take anything said on Hannity, no matter who is filling in, with a large grain of salt. Some call requiring ID to vote racist because of the lack of evidence of in-person voter fraud and the laws having a large effect on minority populations. Welfare reform I'd have to look into those cases, disagreement was because (At least early on) much of them were based on B.S., thus some liberals felt the fact people were creating these total b.s. arguments, not supporting things they supported pre-Obama etc, had some element of racism to it.

Arguing with a liberal one I'm 90% sure is BS. Only the really kooky ones probably and even then probably mixed. Saying racism is on the way out I also maybe once heard called racism, usually it's considered incorrect but not racism to say it (unless it involves "white victimization (made up word).")

Yeah, i know what your saying about taking it with a grain of salt. But, when the comment is followed up with a sound bite.. well then it kinda proves the point. Not that i always put stock in soundbites, i do know how they are twisted and used out of context, so im always on the lookout for that. The point is, the MSM, and Politicians primarily on the Democrat side of the isle have devalued the word for personal/financial or political gain.

What fact did I leave out? The perp called the police (the correct call for a concerned citizen) The police told him to LEAVE IT ALONE. The perp did not. He followed and confronted a child, whom he out aged and out weighed by double digits. The child starting to kick his sorry ass, and the perp killed him.

If I was in that situation; followed and harassed by an un-uniformed gomer, I would kick his ass too.

Do I deserve to die for defending myself, if I don't have a weapon?

First, it is Yahoo news, so not the Onion or some similar satire site. Second, why do we need Law & Order to make things even worse? This is indeed why we can't even have shitty things, let alone nice ones...

lol...wow. That is such horseshit.

When the going gets tough, the weak pull a gun.

Damn. This post is full of inaccurate statements and logical fallacies, but... Just to focus on one... The last sentence. Um, if you attack someone, you aren't "defending yourself".

Also, speaking of Deen...I don't condone what she did/said...but ffs, she made a mistake, everyone makes them. The world isn't going to be happy until they break her mentally and physically.

Hell, they didn't make this big of a hoopla out of it when Dog The Bounty Hunter said the same thing.

The fact that you left out was that the "child" confronted the concerned idiot. We know this, because he told his gf that that is exactly what he was going to do. If TM didn't start some, there would have been none.
