    No matter how many speak out it'll never be enough for the critics. I'm sure you've had this experience on JPP: Poster A says "name one person who (did or didn't do what the topic was about.) Poster B replies "how about when X spoke out about it?" Poster A replies "so you found one, whoopie do. Where are all the rest of them?"

    When it comes to black crime, black lives, black children etc. volsrock's only m. o. is to criticize and demean. Sometimes he pretends to be fair and civil but he's actually just damning with faint praise. I hope people here aren't fooled by him.
    Yes that's fair comment about him, but nonetheless he makes a good point irrespective of his motivation. It's a pity that there isn't an equivalent to MLK around today, I am sure he'd be horrified by the likes of BLM and Al Sharpton.

    Jay Leno has nothing to do with anything. He isn't bitching, is he?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Investigators said Laroy Battle, 19, shot the teens in an alley around 5 p.m. last Saturday, WLS reported.

    Investigators said the teens and a friend of theirs did not know Battle, who is 6-foot-3, but had a brief interaction with him moments earlier at a convenience store when they asked how tall he was when they bought some candy at a convenience store, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

    Has Lebron made a tweet about this cold blooded double murder?
    Wow, just wow!

    So what? LeBron has nothing to be ashamed about regarding support for charities, and the number of cars he owns is irrelevant.

    Why isn't he standing up against black on black crime?
    Do you think the killing of innocent kids is just part of their "society"?

    He auctions them off apparently, his missus is also big into charity and feminist issues.

    Seriously.... how does one individual stand up against any crime? What does that even mean?

    I looked up the car collection and read that he owns approximately 286 vehicles! It's spread between cars and motorbikes.

    If he sells a couple of cars will that be enough atonement for bitching?

    Lebron has done some good things with charity, but he's also shown that he's willing to defend the Chinese government doing some pretty bad things while posturing as a SJW about black issues.

    This is why it's hard to take him seriously about any particular social issue.
