20. They have been the only victims targeted by skin color
Wed Dec 24, 2014, 09:24 AM
Dec 2014

for generation upon generation. Your comment on "killing our beautiful black men" is mighty sarcastic especially when you follow it with "as if they are the only victims". By population numbers in this society, black and brown people are more likely to be shot by police than the privileged of this society. You and the "remain calm, show no emotion" crowd at this site that persistently discount the continuing racism and murder, based strictly on race, amaze me. But even when your former 'suggestions' earlier in thread, which, to me, were negated with your latter remarks, are taken seriously by the policing system, which WILL NEVER happen, your discounting of racism and hate behind the recent murders of black men, women and children also amazes me.
