Not Mister and that makes me racist why? Is he not the one who perpetrated the crime? If I had assumed it was a black man before I knew, that wouldn't even be racist. That would be prejudice. Posting his picture is a way of me saying he is black. But the thing is . . . he is black. How is saying something that is true about someone racist? Please explain.

Pointing out the race of a perpetrator is now considered racist and I suppose pointing out his age is ageism and pointing out his sex is sexism. No wonder the charge of racist is losing its punch. It means nothing any more.

Thank you.

Because a photo of the the person involved, what he looks like, is NOT relevent......there is ONLY ONE reason for posting it.

Photos are useful in that they show the REALITY of disproportionate black on white crime.

I kept waiting for someone to question if the person who punched him was black...lol...I already knew but I just wanted to see how many posts it took before it came up.

Is his sex relevant? His age? His name? Where he is from? Everything about the man is relevent except his race? Think about what you're saying. It makes no sense.

I didn't question it. I found out. I covered this in a prior post.

Of course. The man's race is part of the story. It's nonsense to say it isn't.

Did I say you questioned it? I said I was waiting for someone to question it...if it doesn't apply to you then what are you complaining about?

So we're going for the "he hit him because he's black" angle...has nothing to do with the fact that he was drunk...because we all know that drunk people make the best decisions as long as they're not black...can't just be a drunk man hit someone...he hit him because he's black and we all know how those black people are...animals...crazy animals that are known for stealing, raping and killing...we should lock them up in cages...better yet we should send them back to Africa before they all start punching people!
