People like you are the reason why everyone assumes that users with anime avatars are human garbage.
Wow
People like you are the reason why everyone assumes that users with anime avatars are human garbage.
a handful lmao
Don't get mad if people call you out on your garbage opinion.So this topic is supposed to be the woe is me I can't play Pokémon Go because I'm black circle jerk? Come on now. This is a topic for discussion and I am more than allow to come in here and give my opinion. I'm black too and if I played this game I would go out and play the hell out of it. But I don't go around assuming everyone is out to get me because of a handful of unfortunate incidents. That's insane.

"I'm black but nothing ever happened to me tehee! Those other black people need to stop overreacting!"
People being branded as suspicious (and in some cases, potentially killed by police because suspicions) and possible pedophiles/ephebophiles just because they're playing Pokemon. It says a lot about how policing is done these days. I'm starting to wonder whether Pokemon Go was even a good idea considering the nature of policing in today's time.
Relative to the population of the US. Yeah, a handful.
I'm white as fuck and I had some old guy taking pictures of me as I tried to catch a weedle outside his house. He lived next to a gym so it must have been common enough to freak the old fart out.
I can only imagine the reactions some others have gotten from similarly confused old people.
YesWhere did I say that? This is the shit I be talking about lol. I said I'm black and do not assume bad things are going to happen to me because of it. Guess that's a pretty radical notion?

Yes
Because in the real world bad things do happen to you because you are black..
Yes that is a radical notion.
So essentially you said the statement he claimed you said again.
It's a weekly occurrence for something that shouldn't be happening at all, let alone as frequent as it does.
I wish i lived in your bubble realmlol guess I'll be radical then. Walking around looking over my shoulders just counting the days before the rogue cops get me for playing Pokémon Go. Smh ffs.
I wish i lived in your bubble realm
I wish i wasnt so adverse to ignorance, so i could live in this happy place
You must not read the news at all. Here's the problem, people don't just assume you're playing pokemon go, they see a black man walking around an area looking at their phone, (you know like other people do but it's perceived to be different or safer due to race), then deem that person suspicious. We have a gaffer on the first page in this thread that straight up says this happened to him yet you wanna pretend like it doesn't happen. As if there isn't any problems at all. FFS dude.lol guess I'll be radical then. Walking around looking over my shoulders just counting the days before the rogue cops get me for playing Pokémon Go. Smh ffs.
Holy shit....So should I be waiting to be killed for no reason instead? I'm confused?
I happens every week according to some so it's only a matter of time right?
Waiting? No thats a bit too grim. Don't let folks take your life away, before they have taken your life away.So should I be waiting to be killed for no reason instead? I'm confused?

Also I'm not mad at all. Everyone can have their opinion. This is a discussion.

Holy shit....
This thread has depressed the hell out of me. The world has gone to shit.
Out of curiosity where do you live?
At least in regards to gun violence and police brutality, America doesn't represent the entire world.
Relative to the population of the US. Yeah, a handful.
South Carolina and grew up in Tennessee. Thoughts?
"According to some" definitely carries some form of denial. As if not everyone is telling the truth. There have been more than a handful of incidents to prove this article's point. It's absolutely insane that you don't see what's happening happening out there.I've never denied anything happening. I mentioned there have been a handful of incidents. I just said I will never assume the worst from anyone and people lost their minds. I'm at a loss... guess I'm not paranoid enough?
No one cares how black you are. Black people can be ignorant about race too. Whether you personally care means nothing and changes even less than that about how race functions in modern American society. You're entitled to them, but your opinions are uninformed and ignorant. I'm waiting for you to present an argument about black on black crime.
I'd say you're either making it up as a gotcha or have been very lucky to not witness regular discrimination in those regions. As a white person that grew up in North Carolina I was privy to a lot of racism and class disparity, went to a charter school for elementary and seeing that kind of class divide early on was a trip. Again, I think you've been very fortunate, and you should probably drop your "handful" rhetoric already, it isn't helpful.
I guess you didn't watch the news this week
Nah that's where I'm from Chattanooga, TN and I live in Charleston, SC. Besides that I never said I've never seen racism. I just said I will never assume the worst in anyone and I don't walk around thinking the cops are out to get me because of my race. I'm ignorant because of that though so, uh ok I guess...
This actually makes me want to play the game even more. I'm not in the mood to coddle absurd biases.
McCallie or Baylor?
lol
