That is some pretty good photoshop work.

I knew you'd say that, I don't think in color, I guess is the only way to explain it. My best friends, one is Asian, one is from Trinidad, one is black and one is white. That's my crew. I honestly think of them all the same, thier people, human, they all can be ass holes sometimes, they all are good people, they all are great. I just don't see them in color. The only way to explain it was like that and I knew someone would call it out. Love them pussy ass fuckers.If you don't see color, how on earth would you know that you have more non white friends than white friends. Serious question.
Exactly! Wow I've never heard anyone say it like that, thanks brother.Perhaps "feel" color would be more appropriate, after all it's an acquired emotion.
oopps!
NO, that's what I'm getting at. NO ONE NEEDS TO FEEL OR BE SEPARATED. WHY? WE ENDED SEGREGATION. NO COLOR. NO ETHNICITY. WE ARE HUMAN. WE ALL ARE ONE!Saying that you don't see (or feel, if you will) color quite simply ignores obvious and important differences that do exist between people of different races. We are not all the same, and in my opinion, our differences should be celebrated, not ignored. When a white person says "I don't see color" and statements like it, while generally well-meaning, are also untrue and dismissive. The American story cannot be told without our indispensable contributions in the building of this nation. "I don't see color" actually means nothing more than "I only see white.".
The platitudes are cute, but you didn't actually address anything that I said.NO, that's what I'm getting at. NO ONE NEEDS TO FEEL OR BE SEPARATED. WHY? WE ENDED SEGREGATION. NO COLOR. NO ETHNICITY. WE ARE HUMAN. WE ALL ARE ONE!
You need to stop generalizing, stop making assumptions, most, I want to say 99% of America, have no reason to even think of seeing someone of color and thinking they are different. That's what the MEDIA is telling you, or wherever you get your info. Walk with ME talk with ME, see how I AM. The whole generalization thing is probably what started the whole racism thing, "hey that tan guy is a dick, his friends are dicks" then the snow ball effect happens. See, only see white? Why the fuck would anyone think that when they say I don't see color?Saying that you don't see (or feel, if you will) color quite simply ignores obvious and important differences that do exist between people of different races.

Yeah, I'm making this all up.You need to stop generalizing, stop making assumptions,
Earlier you said that the answer to stop it was to ignore it. Why the change of heart?And yes I know, racism does exist. It will always to some degree.. I dont have the answer to stop it.
The only way to end racism is to stop talking about it.
So the killing of more unarmed black people is purely coincidental?Mostly untrained police. And most are NOT racist.
When did I say ignore it? Please don't be uncle buck or we can never have a legit conversationEarlier you said that the answer to stop it was to ignore it. Why the change of heart?
This means to ignore itI said stop talking about it. Stop publicizing it.
Some may be racial, I don't know? Do you really know? I don't even like cops, but I can't say one way or another what a cop was thinking during any tragic event. I'd assume most are not racial based. I would guess, and it's a guess, that many of those cops just are not cut out of the job and should have never been hired in the first place.So the killing of more unarmed black people is purely coincidental?
Media, not the police and law enforcement and the like. Obviously there needs to be accountability, but the media is what is fueling everything. We need to stop talking about racism when we don't even have the facts! Citizens her the news, believe the news, talk about that news the day it happens, relay it to 100 people who relay it to 100 people. You know how rumors start right? That's exactly what is happening.This means to ignore it
Omg, thank you sir! I only listen to NPR, too. It's insane the shit this media is doing, don't plug it back in, I have it only for DVr so I can watch documentaries and stuff.It feels pretty dam good having ripped the television cables outta the wall, going on a year now. Hell I didn't watch that shit my entire 20s. Now I read, research or listen to NPR to get my news updates. It's good to be informed, but difficult to measure the toll all that programming has on our minds.
I know that I'm about 3.5X as likely to be shot by police while unarmed than any of my white friends are. Even though I only represent 13% of the population, and my white friends make up 65%. If that's not racism, then I'm going to need a better reason.Some may be racial, I don't know? Do you really know?
So you want the media to ignore it, but not the police? You do realize that it's the police pulling the trigger, right? This is either incredibly stupid or incredibly naive. I'll let you choose which one you'd rather be.Media, not the police and law enforcement and the like.
