At least now we know the weird and obscure scientific anomaly that withholding air from someone for extended periods of time can, surprisingly, lead to death.Apparently some cops need to take a basic biology course. Jesus.
Agreed, its absolute nonsense about this one.
That man did not deserve that.

We don't see this kind of news in any TV or radio station, because it's got nothing to do with negroids.
If it was 4 caucasian kids killing a negroid man/woman, it would make headlines all over the country.
Understandable since hate crime gains a lot of attention nowadays.
TV and radio stations generate so much revenue in discussing racial issues.
This guy knows what he's talking about.
Welcome to America; Land of the Free, Home of the Brave... where it's offensive to put your hands in your pocket in cold weather.
I don't feel like making a new post for this vid, so I'll just edit and add this in:
YouTube video
Sums up what I think about the media and the black American community in general.
I somewhat agree with him, in that the issue is not racially-motivated police brutality nor should it be construed as such. I disagree that the event doesn't deserve recognition though, as while it may not showcase racism, it without a doubt displays a horrific level of police incompetence, which absolutely needs to be addressed.
I can't believe people still think he was innocent.
I see this issue everywhere in the news. Online, TV, radio, it's everywhere. I'm so sick of this shit, so Imma post another vid for all you black people out there who feel racially oppressed and/or living in the ghettos:
You think it's that easy to understand. Many black people, particularly the poverty stricken ones, have parents, grandparents, and descendants systematically oppressed by racism, which dissuaded higher learning (which was sometimes legally banned and punishable by death), behavior which those parents passed on to their kids. Additionally, consumerism and criminal lifestyles are endorsed by popular culture. You can't blame black people for their ignorance when they are just now getting the chance to exercise their freedom from it and still influenced by pop culture to maintain it.

I have great grandparents that were systematically oppressed by racism. They were not only prevented from getting institutionalized educations, they were not allowed to eat at places where blacks could. Now my people riot and raise hell at Eagles games instead of in the streets during shootings. 🙂
Take a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Italianism#Violence_against_Italians
Some say that the Italians were able to overcome their oppression much more quickly than the blacks because they could fit in better. That's not true, for the most part (very few Italians were bland enough to easily fit in with the others and if they were, their names were dead give aways). That's just a way people are trying to white-wash Italian immigrants.
To give an example of this, my great grandparents dropped the "I" in their last name to make them sound more American. That still didn't prevent that racism and loss of job opportunities. This is why Italian immigrants formed gangs: protection from outsiders.
Regardless, using your grandparents or great grandparents as excuses to continue to wallow in ignorance is a bad excuse.

The difference is you had a culture and ethnic pride to fall back on. I bet you can trace your family tree far.
Sure, on my mother's side. The Irish side. They were immigrants as far back as the 1700s.
But ancestral culture, imo, has had little to do with my identity or why I am successful. I don't ever think that I'm Italian American unless it comes up in discussions on places like KMC. In fact, I believe this is the only place I ever think about it.
Here's the real reason I am successful: I didn't like being poor as a child.
