I had a post hidden somewhere for suggesting that we need a civilian group to monitor the police and use force if necessary like if you see a cop choking someone to death... It wasn't taken well. I specifically said do not interfer with legitimate police work and yes it can be a tough call too bad though having a badge shouldn't give a person the right to choke someone to death without being subjected to the same rules that apply to everyone else, that is someone else can defend the defenseless.

"rednecks", "white trash", "trailer trash" or "crackers" because it's not PC.

And I'm white.


So I'm using "Saltine-American". Found that term on a FARK comments thread.

and certainly not racists. But maybe referring to all of our former Presidents as 'assholes' did it, ya think?

It will certainly take white people to 'fix' racism, as well as reasonable and temperate conversation among and between whites and blacks.
