I thought some of the posts were a little on the racist side.... So I posted a general comment.

And you seem to be the only one who took personal offense.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So, whats yer take on Reginald Denny, his beating near to death and the justice that followed? Or do you just point your racism finger, make snappy comments and leave?

Did not take personal offense, more or less was irritated that the racism card gets played any time a black person is a beligerent idiot and gets what is coming to him.  Personally I could care less about slavery, too long ago to be a part of my or anyone in this worlds life.  Yet somehow, I am, and my children will have to pay for the mistakes made by some ignorant african tribesman selling off his and the people of other tribes to Dutch Traders.

Makes me really go hmmmmmm too!

So everyone regardless of race deserves that type of beating for what can best be described as passive resistance. Kinda hard to stay motionless when you're in fear of getting beaten possibly to death.
Kind of like the overbearing parent spanking the kid silly for crying in public. "STOP THAT CRYING RIGHT NOW BEFORE i GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!!
And yet the parent wonders why they can't get the kid to stop crying.

So I take it the sole blame for slavery rests on not the whites that bought and resold the slaves and abused them, but "mistakes made by some ignorant african tribesman selling off his and the people of other tribes to Dutch Traders. "

Kind of like saying our local drug dealers and abusers are not responsible for the drug problem, but only some ignorant poppy growers, etc.

LOL we have a guy lying down being savagely beaten by several cops why other cops stand around watching. It'd be a no brainer to cuff the suspect and gettim into a car.

And people think the beating was justified.

I'm very, very happy that many on this board aren't in a position where they have authority over others in this manner.

Me, I only got beaten up by the cops once. Nightstick to the ribs and one hit over the back and I stopped acting tough in front of my friends - very effective. Two hits then they sat on me. This was back when I was a stupid teenager doing stupid things - and I fought back a great deal more than King, kicking, biting, you name it.

So either the cops here are better trained, better disciplined or there are some very large differences in violent culture.

Sure we have rotten eggs. Once they're caught on camera they get punished like other citizens. And lose their jobs.

King, had just taken the cops on a 100+ mph chase through residential neighborhoods, endangering the lives of innocents with his idiocy.  Then to top it off he continued to fight back (after he hit a cop) through a tasing, and getting thumped with a night stick.  Personally, I think, regardless of race, they should have shot him, and that would have been the end, possibly more humane.

Not like saying that at all.  The white people who bought them and abused them were wrong as well.  Nothing justifies slavery in any shape or form.  But I am tired of hearing how wrong white people are and how white people are the source of all the african americans problems.  Never do you hear about the "other" parties involved.  Sickening....

The drug problem has no bearing or comparison on this.  I think the drug problem relies on the dealers, a drug addict has lost all control and needs help.  The poppy growers who knowing sell the poppys to a drug maker are just as guilty too.

That's not bait, it's a shoe. Seems to fit you too.

Hey, whatever, it's too nice of a day to debate with someone who says things like King "got what he had coming to him" and "I am tired of hearing how wrong white people are."

I could debate you on your statements, but some things are so obvious there's no point in anyone pointing them out. Like I said, it's a new Klan- a, Kuddlier, Kinder Klan.

Airhead,

You had best find another shoe for me then, I am in no way affiliated, nor would I ever agree to support the Klan.  

But I do believe Rodney King (it could have been anyone black, white, purple, or blue) deserved his beating, BUT the humane thing would have been to shoot him.  Either way, you are going to slap a label on me because of my opinion on the subject.  Whoopee for you.  But I suggest you learn a bit more about me before you try that in the future.

Fair enough Bodhi, I have no right to imply you are affiliated with any hate group, the Klan or otherwise. I don't agree with your opinion on the King beating, but I apologize for "slapping a label" on you based upon one paragraph in one post.

Like I said, it's too nice of a day for debate, so and have a good day.
