    Bullshit. People can (and do) have racist tendencies, but that doesn't make our entire culture racist.

    This thread has become too dumb for me to mock. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

    If anything, the culture as a whole is more racist than the individuals.

    And whose fault is that? White people? I think there is a lot of blame to be shared by everyone.

    Who's doing the great, great majority of those shootings?

    It is everyone's fault in proportion to their ability to effect change.

    I cannot tell you how many of my most conservative friends have promoted Benjamin Watson's diatribe about Ferguson on my Facebook feed.

    If there's anything that white people love, it's when black people criticize other black people.

    I just want to say RickStain is killing it on this thread. Agree with just about every word.

    Secondly, a note to the Wilson supporters:

    Not sure if this has been brought up already, but when you claim the shooting was justified and not due to racism, and one of your first impulses is to circulate a photo of "Michael Brown" acting thuggishly with a smart-ass caption like, "I'll bet the media won't tell us about the REAL Michael Brown," you are putting a big, fat fucking racist idiot label on yourself. Especially when you can't be bothered to check if it's actually Michael Brown (or Trayvon Martin, for that matter) in the photo.

    For the record, this is the picture I'm talking about (and for the record, it's NOT Michael Brown):

    Yeah, I lost count of how many times over the course of 27 pages that photo has been posted here. Buncha racist crackas here.
