OK tell me how this isn't racially motivated.

I am already seeing that BS. On Facebook even here. They say these aren't racially motivated GJ decisions. They certainly are. I wish people would quit trying to pretend up is down in this fucking country!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I am not a racist AH. Black people get stopped for stupid shit all the time and a lot of times they get stopped for no reason at all. I have seen cops hassle very young children probably preteens just because they were walking home from school. They were all like alright kids what do you have in your backpacks. Uh books officer we have books in our backpacks.

So they use the Grand Jury to shield their own conflict of interest/lack of any action against crooked cops.

That is...unless the cop, himself, is Black (and may not be crooked):




So...yeah...it's racial.

And I'm leaving DU. I can't believe we have to explain why saying, in response to a post entitled "Black Lives Matter," that "All Lives Matter" is dismissive, racist, an attack on the original poster and a fuck you to everyone on the thread agreeing with the OP.

Like I'm back in rural KY where the grass is blue, the faces and sheets are white and the necks are red.

As I said, if I see much more of it... but yes, I will consider everything. What you just said means a great deal to me. Thank you.

You are doing some beautiful work in bringing awareness. Absolutely beautiful.
