3rdnlng Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Are those killing also accompanied with cell phone calls where the killer is saying "!@#$in coons always get away"? BFBF filling in for a still reluctant Conner. You're doing a great job there Fatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjl2nd Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I hadn't heard that on this case, and it would kind of surprise me because Hispanics don't usually call black people coons. Listen to the tapes. Hundreds of blacks are killed by fellow blacks everyday and yet Al Sharpton doesn't have rallies at those killings. I hate nothing more than people complaining about Al Sharpton...sigh. Edited March 21, 2012 by fjl2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I know Sharpton is annoying... But why do people dislike his advocacy for African Americans? So what... Somebody's gotta stick up for a side if hate is at the crux of the issue. So what, he plays one side of the issue... Is there a law against that? Why do people hate on it... Let the guy make a fool out of himself (Tawana thing)... Or let him advocate... Thou think people protest too much about this dude. The squeaky wheel does get the grease.

DaveinElma Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I know Sharpton is annoying... But why do people dislike his advocacy for African Americans? Because his "advocacy" is telling black people that nothing is ever their fault and that they're entitled to everything. And he acts like Don Imus is the biggest threat to black people in the world. He's a scam artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror#8 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hundreds of blacks are killed by fellow blacks everyday and yet Al Sharpton doesn't have rallies at those killings. To be fair to Sharpton, he did rally for Sean Bell. The majority of the police officers involved in that instance were black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like him because I think he is a profiteer and a dilettante. I don't think that he is sincere. I don't think that he is a person who would address under-representation, and disparate treatment, and inequalities if there wasn't a financial gain for himself. He has amassed a significant wealth by being at the site of newsworthy stories, and by presenting himself as the de-facto leader of minority issues. While people like Van Jones, Russell Simmons, Bill and Melinda Gates, Craig Watkins, Cornell West, Melissa Harris-Perry, George Soros, Michael Eric Dyson, etc. have been advocates and have advanced the egalitarian agenda equally as much and without the personal profit and/or self aggrandizing angle.

Rob's House Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I heard on the news this morning that Eric Holder is getting involved in the case. The worst thing about that is that most people have no idea how patently absurd it is or why it's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The worst thing about that is that most people have no idea how patently absurd it is or why it's absurd. I heard some more on it later. It may be a hate crime, so the feds can get involved. Of course the Attorney General needs to be involved personally. I think it was a hate crime in Philadelphia back in the 2008 election when the New Black Panthers suppressed voters and called them meany names.

Bigfatbillsfan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I hadn't heard that on this case, and it would kind of surprise me because Hispanics don't usually call black people coons. He does say that or something to that affect. You can hear it if you listen to the tapes. I don't have a problem with stand your ground laws but in this case I don't feel the killer was standing his ground. I know Sharpton is annoying...

The squeaky wheel does get the grease. The same reason that we can't stand Rush. The guy is a nutjob. Advocacy is a good thing. But Sharpton takes it to the next level of Zeal.

I don't find it absurd that Holder would get involved with the case when it seems that a cold blooded killer is going to get away with murder. It would be one thing if he was standing hs ground, it's another for him to go chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not to get to the bottom of field agents murdered with illegally purchased weapons that were exported to Mexican drug cartels with complete departmental knowledge. Or to answer Congressional subpeonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
