Yet another black male killed in Ferguson.

Ferguson is an isolated incident imo. People were upset, fed up and felt screwed over. I'm not condoning the looting but yeah it happened and frankly I wasn't surprised. However, the police were no where near innocent during the protests in ferguson, as you'd have seen if you kept up with the livestreams and social media.

Regardless since that incident there have been hugely successful peaceful protests. I have no idea why you instantaneously think the protests are suddenly going to take a violent turn.

It's straight up racist. White people are afforded individuality, rights and respect but black people are collectively responsible for one another have to 'earn' equality. What ****ing century is this dude from.

Because more often than not, they do.​

Where did I imply all black people are the same?

Where did I imply I'm grouping all black people?

I'm talking about African-Americans here, specifically.

When I talked about the UK riots, I'm mentioning youths in general.

The ignorance of people never fails to amaze me.

Okay, lets break this down. Your response to an issue surrounding blacks in AMERICA (there is an issue there) is to bring up an example of blacks in THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Of what relevance are these two issues to each other ?! Or are you one of those people who can't grasp that all black people aren't the same person and they don't speak for each other.

MARK DUGGAN has NOTHING to do with the history of police brutality in AMERICA. They are not in any shape or form related to each other. The actions of a black person in LONDON has nothing to do with a black person in AMERICA.

Stay on topic. We are speaking about the system of white supremacy in AMERICA so i don't know why you're trying to talk about blacks in London like all black people are the same person.

SMH.

You're like the typical racist apologist, so predictable it hurts. It has nothing to do with white vs black and everything to do with institutional racism, law enforcement abusing their power and killing these black men while not being brought to justice.

In this particular case who knows what happened but your lack of empathy, dismissive attitude and wilfull ignorance as to the real issue at hand is telling to say the least.

Black people have plenty of respect, plenty of rights, plenty of equality.

You both seem to think I'm generalising black people here. I'm talking about the African-American scum bag opportunists who think any time one of their brothers gets shot by a white cop it's OK to go rob some poor innocent sod.

You're both incredibly bigoted.

This is racism in it's purest form.

When you have someone talking about what black people are up to in ****ing CLAPHAM!! when talking about AFRICAN AMERICANS!!

With the black person who is in clapham, brixton, nyc, poland, australia, wherever (!) people actually see them as one black face and afford them no individuality.

It's vile.

And? That risk comes with any sort of demonstration. Why are ferguson protestors predisposed to violence more so than any other group? Tell me why you think that way?



You keep harping on about the immense "stress" police officers go through. Lmao you, who's not black nor american and have no idea about the struggles of african americans are undermining their experiences with police brutality. In your own words: YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY GO THROUGH EITHER. You have absolutely no idea about the historically long racial tension between police officers and black americans.

Without evidence we cannot make up what happened, however we have evidence and it shows a black man pulling a gun on a police officer. That is pretty solid evidence.

I have absolutely ZILCH hate, racism, prejudice against blacks - so much so that my fiancée is mixed raced.

It has been confirmed Mark Duggan did not even have a gun in his possession, nether mind shoot at the police like they initially tried to claim.

I'd argue shooting to death un-armed members of the public, gang-affiliated or not, is not a job i really ever linked to the police. I don't care if your stressed as a officer, deal with it or quit, that's not excuse to start murdering people because off "stress".

Is your postman black too? That makes it all OK then.
