Color of his skin cancels it all out for some people. Anyone else would not even be on the news.

The robbery he served 5 years for?

The users point could have easily be made without the use of that statement. The vitriol expressed towards black people in general is excessive. It’s even present in the West Indian day parade thread. It’s like Stormfront 2.0 on this website.

Gothamist or Reddit might be more to our liking.

What does one thing have to do with another? Him serving 5 years doesn't absolve him of pointing a gun at a pregnant woman.

The racism accusation doesn't fly in NYC. Too many different types of people, from too many different backgrounds, all living in extremely close proximity. I'm not that old but some of the most blatant racism I have seen growing up has come from Black NYC'ers.

Either call everyone racist or call no one racist.

You need to relax! I asked a question; hence the use of a question mark. I have not heard about anyone being pregnant in that case. However, since you asked the question, what does his past crime have to do with him losing his life over a fake $20? Did he not deserve due process? Is it funny to mock and celebrant his death? Any death?

And I’m not going back and forth with you regarding the blatant racism and prejudice on this website! I recognize your font and you’re an active participant in some of the nonsense. Most of you were in that West Indian thread questioning the culture and wondering why they were celebrating being from s-hole countries. May not have been verbatim, but it was said. There are many more examples of this, but I don’t have the time.

Also, living in a “melting pot” has never prevented racism.

I guess. Expecting educated people to not be prejudice and racist towards a particular group in 2022 is too much to ask for.

Of your now 18 posts, going back to 2016, over 80% include accusations of racism. Broken record much?

Thanks, Inspector Clouseau!!

Racists here never waver, never tire so spare me. Perhaps, you should use your energy for good and tally up all the venom spewed on this site.

My stance remains and I respect my elders so argue with yourself or each other.

It's only a matter of time before people take the law into their own hands .

One only has to span a few decades to remember how Bernie Goetz defended himself against subway crime.
