Ive been thinking about this and i type with nervousness, so my thinking is.... no matter what colour someone is that is treated by a cop in this way, the Cop still deserves a prison sentence period, but when we start saying black and white, in that scenario i think it does more harm than good to emphasize racism, it seems to put a wedge between different groups. its a human condition, short dont like tall, tall dont like short, fat dont like thin, think dont like fat, people from Dallas dont like new yorkers, etc etc but if people make it a non issue/non specific then surely prejudices will die out?
We personally dont tolerate racism, we will speak up if we hear it, but we also dont get on our soap boxes and preach. i think also the more we evolve the less it will be relevant, but we live in Europe and i must say it is no where near as prevalent here.
Another thought most countries are the same, in cities there are Jewish areas, white areas, black areas, Arab areas, Asian areas, why is this? if we ALL lived more multicultural lives then im sure this issue would desolve quicker.
I really hope ive not offended anyone, just my thoughts on how to get a utopia,
I must say that the guy who stated that some women here are here for racist reasons, this could also be said for the guys on here wanting white women, but as i said before if we make it a non issue it wont be, and to be a member here and attack women on THIS site is disgraceful!
My thoughts on rioting, as soon as it becomes violent it looses its validity and also global support, likewise heavy handed policing of peaceful protesters, which in fact adds validity and gains global support.
Our thoughts really are with this poor mans friends and family, x
