That was also the child of one of his Coworkers no less. Thankfully he was fired.

He was fired for what? Having racist friends?

 

[la flama blanca]

That's true, but according to someone else in the thread, black people can't drive new cars because everyone thinks they stole it, every black person is unemployed unless they have a white-sounding name or they somehow snuck past the KKK Grandmaster manning the hiring process, or some other self-defeatist bullshit.

Just because I've been called a spic before, a wetback, illegal immigrant, yadda yadda, now the rest of my life I have to whine about the injustices towards hispanics? Be serious. I have a life to live, not spend all my time on Earth worried about some ignorant people who, even if I were to become a billionaire tomorrow and feed all the hungry people in the world, would still yell at their TV in the trailer park and consider me a lucky spic.

You're being naive to the barriers a lot of black people still face in GENERAL/ It's important that you understand that it's a problem overall, even if there are people that are able to be lucky enough to not experience such adversity.

When ARE we going to get an update to the OP? I want that big-ass list we can link to. >:|

Inspired by several threads but most notably this one. I think we have enough prohibitions for Black people specifically that we could start a list. Being as though this is 'Murica, more prohibitions will be added until, ultimately, the very existence of Black people themselves will be criminalized by the State. We can start with the following:

Driving while Black
Laughing while Black
Staring while Black
Cheering while Black
Wanting a better education for your children while Black

So GAF, feel free to add any other acts/behaviors/actions that Black people aren't allowed to engage in.

Plenty of successful black people and successful minorities out there (my wife and I included), they just don't spend their days looking for opportunities to whine about how everyone is racist and the world is against them.

This is beyond stupid....

Jogging While Black

Video at the link.

“Where you been running from?”: Watch officers try to detain Alabama man for jogging at night while black
"A black man jogging at night is suspicious," one officer said in order to justify detaining the jogger

Earlier this month in Talladega, Alabama, Corey Dickerson was out jogging very early Sunday morning when he was stopped by 2011 Officer of the Year nominee Kenneth Price because “a black man jogging at night is suspicious.”

The audibly out-of-breath Dickerson was resting with his hands on his knees as he began recording his encounter. “You look like you been running,” Price noted.

“Where you been running from?” he asked, because any black man who’s been running has clearly been running from something. Dickerson replied that he’d been jogging “nowhere in particular” and “just around,” as joggers are wont to do.

Price demanded Dickerson to identify himself and provide identification, which as the Free Thought Project’s Matt Agorist noted, he is not, under Alabama law, entitled to do.

“It is 12:30 in the morning,” Price made by way of argument. The officer claimed that “we’ve had a lot of burglaries and thefts, and we don’t know who you are,” and informed Dickerson that he was, in fact, being detained.

“So you can detain me for anything whatsoever?” Dickerson asked.

After another officer — one who also witnessed Dickerson jogging but had sense enough, at the time, not to detain him — arrived, Dickerson noted that while he’s not a lawyer, “I know that in order to detain me, you’ve got to have some type of reasonable suspicion that I’ve committed some type of crime. I’m minding my own business out here, I’m literally jogging — exercising.”

The second officer attempts to deescalate the situation by informing Dickerson of how easy it would be for them to escalate it. “If [Officer Price] wants to push it far enough, he can arrest you for failure to identify,” the officer said.

“Is that a real law?” he replied. “I’m going to look that up tonight, if I don’t go to jail.” In the end, however, Dickerson was not arrested for jogging at night while black.

Watch the entire exchange below via the Free Thought Project.

Fucking disgusting.

[theignoramus]

Seriously. Some of you are fucking bullies, nothing better than basic fucking bullies. You're the type that don't get it. Someone creates a tongue in cheek thread about something that is very real and to make a point about this shit, and some of you jump to "Stop complaining", "It's a pity party in here". If you don't want to talk about the topic, then feel free to just not. But to try and shame people, talk down people or reduce their often from life experiences to "Well I know this person who it's never happened to" or to straight up just say that we're whining for the sake of whining and want to be victims is fucking insulting. Do you go into a thread about gay people talking about their experiences being gay and say "I know this gay person who's never got shit for being gay, so you're all complaining", do you go into threads about sexual assault and say "My best friends a girl and she's never been raped, you all should stop complaining"? No? Then what makes this okay? Some of you have absolutely no shame whatsoever and are so blind, that you can't even see that the very thing we're talking about, is what you're doing. This is where "welfare queens" come into play, this is where "black men can't be fathers" comes into play, this is where "handouts and free stuff" comes into play. Because we're just complaining, that's it. So obviously we don't have any hobbies, we don't have any jobs, any academic pursuits, dreams or ambitions like "the good ones" clearly do, we just want free stuff and talking about it on an internet forum will get that for us. Because we don't have jobs where we question statements or behaviours of our peers, jobs that let us pay for the fucking phones we're typing in this thread on, or the internet bill for the PC's we're on. And we're just "complaining". We don't go to schools or colleges whereby our peers say and do questionable shit or outright blatant shit that we come here to talk about. We don't go out in public and get random shit or ignorant actions directed at us. No, we're just complaining with our free Obama phones(In Canada), free homes, free clothes, free computers, free food, free education, free fucking air. We're just complaining and wanting to be victims. Yup! No way do we want to just go about our days without ignorant statements directed at us, or wary eyes, clutched purses, dumb questions or outright racist stupidity. Because then if we don't have that, what else can we do with out lives?

I don't care if I get banned. Fuck any of you who wrote such bullshit and fuck anyone who read it and agreed. You can deny people a lot of shit, you can say it's just "politics", "policies", "preferences", whatever. I've heard everything under the sun to deny racism and racist attitudes. But you cannot, and you will not deny people their own damn voices. You assholes and your "PC" bullshit. You know why it bothers you? Because for so long you could just tune out, for so long you could just ignore, because we're a "minority". But now we can come on your precious video game forum and talk about things that make you upset, that without even attacking white people, but simply saying "You know how our parents or society always says be extra careful when doing this or that. Here are some examples of why they say that." And the butt hurt commences. We got the "I have black friends", the "It never happened to me, so just be a good person and good will follow" and the "Look, here comes the complaining for more free stuff". FUCK YOU. Bullies behave that way! Bullies pick on people and when people speak up about it, the bullies try to silence them by saying they're "soft", "pussies", "tattletales" and WHINERS.

Some of you ain't shit. Weren't born shit. And will never, ever be shit. Kick rocks for all I care.

Not sure why youve been banned, but hopefully its a temp ban. You and I have had one or two tense disagreements and Ive felt some of your perspectives on racial matters were overly cynical and pessimistic, but.... this here is the post of the thread and one of the most searing, well articulated rants Ive ever read on the subject of being black and constantly experiencing situations where you feel like you have to step on eggshells.
Its sad that so many of us go through it, but reassuring in a small way, because it means Im not just imagining this shit, it really is happening and my anger about it has some validity.
