[QUOTE]Social media users made the intentionally ironic hashtag #CrimingWhileWhite a No. 1 trending topic in the aftermath of a New York City grand jury’s decision not to indict an NYPD officer in the death of Staten Island man Eric Garner. On July 17, Garner’s death from an apparent chokehold was captured on videotape. Police detained Garner, a 43-year-old father of six, for selling unlicensed cigarettes. Garner can be heard saying “I can’t breathe” 11 times in the footage, but a grand jury still delivered a “no true bill” on all charges against Officer Daniel Pantaleo. In the wake of the grand jury’s decision – in addition to peaceful protests in the streets of New York City – pro-Garner individuals who appear to be white began tweeting ironically about alleged past encounters with police, none of which have been verified, pointing out what they see as a double standard in policing based on race:[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/crimingwhilewhite-trending-twitter-garner-grand-jurys-wake[/url]
fuck right off. this wouldn't be happening if the dude was white, latino, asian. It's because it's a fucking white on black. The people are like feminists, they don't want equality they want to throw a fucking fit and get special treatment.
Why do people have to be so idiotic. Such a stupid fucking hashtag.
Lol I always thought I was pretty dumb, but looking at people actions lately I still feel hope...

[quote]Got pulled over and had an expired license and told a really bad joke. He laughed at my joke & let me go. #crimingwhilewhite[/quote] I highly doubt that happened. -- Its as if people dont want police to have discretion. Which is cool with me I guess... everyone can go to jail and get tickets.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;46633917]Why are you implying that feminists throw a fit and get special treatment when they don't?[/QUOTE] The definition of what feminism is supposed to be and what it has turned into thanks to an extremely loud minority are two completely different things
[QUOTE=ghghop;46633935]The definition of what feminism is supposed to be and what it has turned into thanks to an extremely loud minority are two completely different things[/QUOTE] People should actually know that the more annoying ones doesn't represent feminism it's like saying that fascism represents everyone who is right wing and communism represents everyone who is left wing [editline]49[/editline] Like I wouldn't say it's the extremely loud minorities' fault, the fault lies on the idiots who thinks feminism = special treatment for women This even applies to the situation at hand, most people on here who see someone in the media voicing outrage for someone that doesn't have the same skin color is some sort of social justice warrior (LIKE PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THIS TERM NON-IRONICALLY ON HERE WHAT HAPPENED)
When the loud minorities are getting young people to conform to their fucked up "feminist" ideas, of which no right-minded feminist would actually believe in them. I groan at bringing it up but the usual SJW squad who ruins movements with unnecessary bullshit has invaded the feminist movement and there isnt uch to be done once they're there. Only takes a few to destroy a movement ran by many
The fact that people are still making this a white vs black thing instead of a citizen vs cop thing pisses me off
[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46633907]Just curious, what ethnicity are you?[/QUOTE] So you're attacking his character from the very start You've stopped trying already I see.

To be fair, I've seen this shit happen in real life. One time, a white friend drove me home from a party. The car reeked of weed and he didn't have a license (and he didn't even tell me). Let off with a ticket and the officer even let him drive me home WITHOUT A LICENSE. He literally only had a permit. The cop let us go and DRIVE HOME. I've been forced to get out of the vehicle and sit on a curb when I've been pulled over with straightedge black friends with no criminal record and nothing suspicious other than the sun being down. It's fucking ridiculous. Yeah, the hashtag might seem ridiculous, but it's incredibly common in certain areas to get off lightly with stuff that would land a black person in jail.

But then I wonder why you engage in these behaviours?
The thing is, you've got a lot of people acting out because of shit that may or may not be indicative of the larger problem - But to pretend there isn't a problem is fucking idiotic. Look at the ethnic makeup of US prisoners and you start to understand WHY people are so angry.
This guy was like 6 foot 400 pounds and was a heavy smoker and died from a heart attack, but then again he told the cop he couldnt breathe. I really dont think a choke hold was neccesary but thats my opinion

Precisely because of things like this. So no chokeholds, no knees on their backs, etc.

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;46634039]So you're attacking his character from the very start You've stopped trying already I see.[/QUOTE] I said nothing of his character, I'm curious what ethnicity he is since he has written off race issue so easily.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;46634472]you know, I whole heartedly agree with you. But then I wonder why you engage in these behaviours?[/QUOTE] serious time, watch out because it's frustrating to argue or debate when you have an unpopular opinion on the internet, especially when it's with people you don't really know on a personal level. i'd rather haphazardly and lazily state my opinion than spend 20x to write something super detailed and thought together because the former is easier. simple as that. the automatic assumption that i'm just making shit up or saying stupid shit to fuck with people is something i've experienced a lot, too, which makes it doubly hard to be taken seriously. if it means anything to you, i've not really done anything like that in the past year or so. my posts've got a lot of sarcasm and swear words but they're all me. can also put the fact that nobody will remember or care about any posts that've been made days/weeks in the future into consideration as well. in general i've been making efforts to clean up my act, but it's not going to be an overnight change. i'm still trying to work out kinks in my relationships with friends and myself in general, so reputation on a forum is a low priority. you didn't immediately call me a moron, i really respect you for that. so if you want you can police me on this shit. the fact that we're having this conversation is a start, too, really appreciate it.
[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46635448]I said nothing of his character, I'm curious what ethnicity he is since he has written off race issue so easily.[/QUOTE] That's still a personal trait of his which isn't relevant to his post at all. He's accusing the supporters of this hash-tag of a double standard. White people get killed by police too: a better way to attack his argument would be to try to prove that cops that kill whites get punished more often while ones that kill blacks aren't.

[QUOTE=Cone;46636039]how can you be guilty by race[/QUOTE] Guilty of whatever they might have done wrong, and then claim prosecution because of race.
