Violent standoff of baltimore protesters

[ZombiLoin]

i also love the language you use "criminal bottom-feeders" "scum" "thugs" and my personal favorite, "thug criminals" where you use a noun as an adjective to call criminals criminal. you're a grade a windbag.

Are you really going there? It has been fifty one years since segregation and Jim Crow Laws. That has absolutely nothing to do with this, it is over with and you cant keep droning on about it, it is over with and it has been over with for five decades. History has to be acknowledged, however at a certain point -- you have to realize that it is a free society today. Racism exists everywhere, toward every group. Black people aren't the only ones subject to racism, whites, Asians and Hispanics are as well.

I chortled when you said free society. It's pretty free for some people, but calling it a totally free nations just ain't so. And no amount of slinging the stuff that racism or discriminatory policies are gone will ever change the fact that it still goes on.

I never said that there was no racism in society. I never even brought up segregation, what's your problem? I don't know what that has to do with this issue, it was suppose to be about an adult who did not get to the hospital in time. I don't know why you are bringing up my past either, as I never said anything that was tribal. If I did, you can quote me and I will respond.

These protesters sure are fighting racism:

Nobody seems to be able to look loving beyond skin color and that's what i'm furious about.

I feel like the majority of rioters are only angry because someone white shot someone black. Are they REALLY fighting for their rights do they even know what they are fighting FOR? are they just fighting off of the spur of the moment? Meanwhile there's a ton of other crimes out there that deserve just the same IF NOT MORE of the same coverage this is getting. Everyone is getting hurt and i loving hate that.

has it ever occurred to you that you may be wrong about what the protesters feel? just a thought.

I don't see anyone say anything tribal about the rioters. They are black, what else can be said? If this is a race issue with police brutality, then why are so many police officers within the Baltimore Police Department African American, huh?!

I am a bit disappointed in you. Are you going to answer my question yet? I acknowledge there being racism, but you cant tell me deliberately that African Americans are barred from many privileges in society. We have a BLACK PRESIDENT. Shouldn't that be self-explanatory?

Also what language? Are they not criminals? Stealing from stores, killing businesses and people's jobs, burning down stores and businesses in their own neighborhoods? What language? These are criminal acts, therefore these people are criminals with nothing but bad intention.

If you care to share, please tell me in what ways is America not "free".

you can take the moral high ground here, but that doesn't change the fact people are getting killed mainly in part because of the color of their skin. if you look past race, you look past the issue.

am i saying race matters? forget no. to quote kendrick off of section 80: "forget your ethnicity". im saying this is where the bigotry stems from and it can't just be ignored.

I feel like the majority of rioters are only angry because someone white shot someone black.

that about sums it up. they're tired of black people being shot by white cops.

Are they REALLY fighting for their rights do they even know what they are fighting FOR?

very condescending.

Everyone is getting hurt and i loving hate that.

signifcantly less people are getting killed though, that's a bit more pertinent

1. Don't try to prioritize what people should/shouldn't be mad about because it's beyond opinionated. If you're saying police brutality needs to be put on the backburner for whatever reason then please do explain.

2. Most crimes aren't committed by police officers to whom we pay tax dollars to keep us safe.

3. People get hurt and others are getting mad and doing something about it. Kinda what instills change into society.

Very well. I guess i was a little rash in attacking you. There is just way too much deja vu going on here and probably more too come with future rioting.

having a black president says nothing in a system that only cares about how well you can be the party's figurehead, adhere to party values, and act in the party's interest. obama being elected to the presidency was just another way for democrats to appeal to liberals and the black demographic, and it worked. it literally says NOTHING about the state of racism in america.

Also what language? Are they not criminals? Stealing from stores, killing businesses and people's jobs, burning down stores and businesses in their own neighborhoods? What language? These are criminal acts, therefore these people are criminals with nothing but bad intention.

then just use the word criminal, richardwad. calling them "thug criminals" and "bottom-feeder criminals" just makes you seem like a biased windbag who uses nothing but appeals to emotion and tradition. which you are, but you could at least try and hide it better.

[Cantaloupe]

Hey Zombi, a massive community center built by a local Baltimore church is burning, what do you have to say about this?

I still haven't had my question answered, can you please explain to me in your words how America is not a free society? Having a black President says a lot about our system. It shows that over half of Americans are willing to elect someone who is black, a tribal nation (as you portray America to be) wouldn't have that. How am I being biased? They are thugs, criminals, and bottom feeders. I don't know how that is being biased, I told you what they were doing. Burning downs buildings, killing others jobs, looting small businesses, and burning police cars. What do I call them? Individuals? Are you kidding me?

can you read? i said just use the word "criminal" and avoid superlative adjectives like "thug" (which isn't even an adjective) or "bottom-feeder". it would really help in your professionalism department, because currently you're just making yourself out to be a cunt.

once again, i explained why obama being elected isn't a sign of the USA's lack of racism. one half of his function is being a figurehead for the democratic party - he gained the presidency through his party hardcore whoring him out to the liberal, progressive, moderate, and black demographic, not through any significant change in attitudes.

i'm not going to explain how america is a mostly free society for some (see? you said i said america isn't a free society. that's called putting words in my mouth, or more formally, a straw man. stop doing that please, it just makes you look more stupid) because that's a whole other can of worms that isn't the main focus of this argument.

That is a gigantic whole other can of worms.

forget dude, stop it with the guilt tripping and strawmanning! i haven't seen somebody make themselves out to be a cunt this hard since ferguson.

heres a protip, don't use appeals to emotion on an online forum, especially against a moderate person who hasn't made his/her opinions clear yet. people can see right through it.

edit: this is going to come off as ultra-condescending, but how old are you? you may just be naive instead of stupid.

[Cantaloupe]

Also if you guys turn of FOX News with Megyn Kelly, there is live coverage on right now about these people destroying their own neighborhoods. Pitiful.

I am not posting for people like you to rate my professionalism. I am just posting what is going on, and talking about how ridiculous the situation is - while you are bringing up Jim Crow Laws, which have nothing to do with this. I said nothing tribal, and you are turning it into that. I'd like you to stop, because your failed attempts are simply not working.

Guilt tripping? Strawmanning? I really don't understand all of this name-calling, I called these people thugs and you are turning me into a belligerent tribal. Have you ever thought that you might be a tribal?

[ZombiLoin]

What the forget does guilt tripping or straw manning have to do with me calling you a tribal? You're posting sensationalist stories of churches burning down!

Have you ever thought that you might be a tribal?

Oh, I get it, you're just a loving troll.

[Camel]

yeah cantaloupe nice try, but that's a textbook mistake.

[Tayasaurus]

Strawmanning? construction of ones arguments based entirely around misunderstanding your opponents views. i.e. what i've been doing this whole thread

Guilt tripping? Use of emotional stimulation and events in ones argument to make an opponent "feel sorry" despite how irrelevant it may be to the subject matter.

[Cantaloupe]

Sensationalist stories? I am showing people what is going on. I am sorry that you are offended that these are black people in the pictures, I cant do anything about that. Want me to censor them out so you don't get offended? I think burning down a church is pretty extreme, don't you think? We're not talking about stealing a can of tuna fish.
