@Everett_G07 Yep. I'm glad Fontenot resisted whatever temptation he had to try to speed up the rebuild. No need to change the long range plans this season. Nobody that we could acquire would have made us contenders.
@ChucklingLotus@michaelharriot@MrChuckD You missed my point. It doesn't matter who you are to society; only who you appear to be. Are you bi-racial? Maybe. But to a profiling cop, you're Black. Are you a law-abiding citizen, trained and licensed to carry a handgun? Doesn't matter when a cop learns you are armed.
@dissentingj Makes you wonder why somebody might be emboldened to break into the house in order to murder the residents, doesn't it? You'd think they'd be better after Comet Pizza, but they're even worse.
@LichenBowels @Logik007@woodcider@michaelharriot I respect your opinion. I do not share it. If you think patronizing someone who called slavery a "choice" can be separated from other words, we can agree to disagree. He wore a White Lives Matter jacket, which might as well be a Klan hood. Tell me why I'm wrong.
@Logik007 @LichenBowels @woodcider@michaelharriot It was outrageous enough to piss off most Black Americans; even his fans. He's a 21st-century minstrel performer. But the fact that a huge number of them downloaded his next albums and bought his shoes proves that they hold the same low opinion for themselves that he does.
@GrownRoom The cops had that outcome in their minds when they squeezed the trigger. They erased two lives over a property crime. It's all a game for them.
Again: Who watches the watchmen?
@Logik007@woodcider @LichenBowels @michaelharriot I see. And you're 100% correct. He knows he's carrying the water for white supremacy and they're still digging the level of Hell to which he belongs. He's a Judas goat and alleged mental problems notwithstanding, he's smart enough to know the damage he's causing others.
@ChucklingLotus@michaelharriot@MrChuckD Thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter. In our society, all that matters is who you are perceived to be. You could have a white father and a bi-racial mother but your brown skin makes you Black. Perception is reality, so true or false, that's who Elvis is now.
@Logik007@woodcider @LichenBowels @michaelharriot Is it complex, though? Some women call their friends b*tches. LGBTQ+ adopted "queer" and some use the F bomb for their cliques. It's almost universal for cultural/ethnic groups to embrace language that would be a battery coming from outsiders. https://t.co/9k98LiuVR0
@woodcider@Logik007 @LichenBowels @michaelharriot Here's the thing: Every ethnic group has folks who use words for themselves that would be slurs coming from somebody else. Italians use the D word. Chinese use the C word. Mexicans use the B word. Pols use the P word. It's not denigrating when they use it. It is when others do.
@GrownRoom Cities willingly pay millions per year for the privilege of permitting cops to shoot and abuse citizens. It's the sickest and most evil version of the lotto imaginable. That money could be used to train capable LEOs and then, incentivize them to police themselves.
