Farrakhan Threatens to “Tear This Godd*m Country Apart” Over Ferguson Shooting (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit#!

Blacks in general look absurb when they claim outrage over events involving guilty criminal elements and thier presumed abuse by police and the white community.

Now if a black "A" student with goals and aspirations was minding his own buisness and assaulted by the police or white supremicists, that would be news. EVERYONE would be expressing indignation and outrage over such an event.

Few, if any, people have sympathy when thugs and criminals meet thier demise.
Obviously, you don't understand or care that Farrakhan represents the extremes within the Black population. Using him as a representative of the Black population at large is really disingenuous.

How about instead of cherry picking 4 - here is 20

and a few of them don't have a criminal past

the outrage isn't the specifics of any one case, it is the commonality of the deaths. The everyday occurrence that should have everyone angry at this police system.

Unarmed Black Men Shot by Police: 20 Sad Stories - The Root
There is some meat on this bone, but not much. Some of these shootings were West African immigrants who the African American community has to commonality with other than to claim their skin color when convenient.

One of the shootings was by a Black cop.

Several of the shootings saw the police go to jail.

The majority of the shootings involved criminals, shot will committing crimes.

A couple were obvious, yet unfortunate accidents.

It boiled down to a few where I thought "That's messed up!" & those cops generally went to prison. Also these incidents are spread out over 20 years. Divide that by the number of police contacts with Blacks & it's a surprisingly low number. Calling it an "everyday occurrence", when it's clearly now, is part of the reason so many people don't take this stuff seriously.

Why don't white people refer to white cop killers as THUGS?
Why weren't there any outrage over the white guy who killed an evaded cops for weeks, he wasn't killed he was just apprehended.

Why do SOME whites like to get outraged over every instance of intra racial crimes by trying to make race incidents out of them when they are not?

Oh i forgot the label thug is for blacks

This is absolutely true. Conversely though, when a White Supremacist says something violent & hateful, Eric Holder has the DOJ knocking on their door the next day & the Black community point to it and say "See, they still think that way". I'm all for ignoring fringe players, but the door has to swing both ways.

White cop killers ARE thugs. Who says they're not? People were absolutely outraged over the cop killer who evaded cops for weeks. White people were so outraged in fact that they were ok with the idea of sending drones overhead to zap him right here in the United States!

You'll notice it's the Blacks who scream racism at every opportunity, not the Whites. Non stop accusations, especially frivolous ones lead to resentment & push back. You get, what you give.

I don't know what DOJ Holder is doing(I don't watch the news. And I haven't heard everyone in the Black community say "see, they still think like that".

Far from the truth, Whites have been pulling the race card since Obama got elected. I think folks like you get mad because we notice your racism and call you out on it. Racism from whites is so rampant nowadys it must be Pre- 1970's now. You have to analyze the situation to understand it and since you aren't black you likely won't understand systematic racism.

Speaking of the guy who killed the cop. Man GTFOH no one called him a thug or a criminal in the context used if it were a black guy. Oh yeah had that guy been black imagine the freaking comments the story would have gotten.

I will never understand why people generalize blacks like this. As if we ALL go out and riot when things happen or as if we have the ability to be in every black persons brain.

Didn't you know Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan represent all black people? When any of those three men speak, they are speaking for every single black person in the entire country.
