What was it ignorant Righties said? Oh yeah...Racism is dead. Uh-huh!

:rofl2:

The boys were with about a dozen basketball teammates Wednesday morning on Main Street waiting for a school bus to take them to a scrimmage at Aquinas. There was no school that day and their coach had arranged for a pick-up at a central meeting spot.


An officer asked the boys to disperse and they refused. The young men say they tried to explain to him they were waiting for a school bus. The officer arrested three of the players.


So out of 15 of the players , 3 of them acted like assholes. Why am I not surprised.

You were saying posters on this board and I don't think Dinesh D'Souza posts here.

The OP was very clear...A pity you couldn't focus on that and not on playing silly word games.

But I will admit I misspoke when I unnecessarily narrowed the parameters by using the term "on these boards" in post #32.

Does the thread title mention posters "on this board".

Nice job trying to derail the thread by parsing words though!

Lol, yes I am derailing your brilliant thread because you first say board posters claim racism is dead and then post links to non board posters. Sorry for asking for clarification there genius
 
So which is it... Like ILA claims, racism is dead or like Supercandy claims, that's not what the Republican National Committee meant?

I'm always laughing when people use the term "reverse racism." Racism is racism. There is no such thing as reverse racism. Funny the very fact that someone says reverse racism also acknowledges there are racist antagonists to begin with.

I think that's too subtle for the usual suspects here, Sun Devil.
 
I do question the article when it highlights "three black youths" as opposed to saying just three youths, but the police conduct is a bit fishy since these youths were said to be obstructing a pedestrian pathway, but why would the officer want to arrest the entire group for obstruction unless they were intentionally causing the obstruction. Any cop with some real sense would've just told them to make way for people coming through and went about his business. I also think because its New York which was the center of the "stop and frisk" controversy I am not surprised. I think what Zapp is saying that this incident has implied racism and yes, even if the cops were of color the same rules apply.

There is a thing called racial profiling which all cops red, blue, white, black, brown, and yellow do as a means to categorize people of a certain demographic. Cops do it all the time here. They see 15 black kids or hispanic kids in one area the idea here is that its most likely trouble even if said group are just a bunch of basketball players or heck, tennis players. Unfortunately it is the unwritten protocol when policing: "when you see a bunch of young black kids in street clothing they are most likely trouble." This unwritten and yet subconscious policing is what is being spoonfed to the cadets in the academy.

Supporting: Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito / Dissenting: Ginsburg, Breyer, Stotmayor, Kagan.

In the case of the Voting Rights Act (Section 5 to be specific) related case (Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, Attorney General, et al.), Chief Justice Roberts (writing for the majority) argued that the Voting Rights Act had been successful and that the country had changed. He then utilized registration statistics to “demonstrate” that the key tenets of the Act were no longer necessary. Leonard Pitts, Jr. writing for the Baltimore Sun (The Supreme Court’s Assault on Civil Rights, 7/6/13) summarized Justice Ginsburg’s dissenting statement:
 
the right wants people to IGNORE the effects of racism in this country because it gains them nothing to stop it.


Kinda just one more reason the people of color hate the republican party
