She may not have been aware? How about she absolutely was not aware! I used to Uber drive and it's not uncommon for one person to order a pickup for another. And the Uber records will prove that at trial. I get it. He was being scammed. He still killed an innocent, unarmed, disabled woman who was trying to just get away from him because she had no idea what was going on. Had he said "Just wait right here and I'll get it" and went inside and called 911, she's still be alive, he wouldn't be facing a manslaughter charge, and the police might have been able to catch the perp behind the scam.

No excuse whatsoever. I'm trying to purge that.

When the man is in the middle of a scam that is threatening to murder some of his family and this Uber driver shows up to pick up the extortion money, even though she may not have been aware that was why she was sent there, there is more to the story than just an old bitter white man shooting an innocent black woman.

:rolleyes: The biggest problems most people face day to day has nothing to do with violence, black on white, black on black, white on white or white on black. The biggest challenges are economic. https://fortune.com/2023/09/24/affirmative-action-race-discrimination-hiring-black-sounding-names-study/

You can mention me all you want. I just don't like getting drug into racial conversations that I'm not already a part of just because I'm the resident black guy. :)

And my dad almost got shot. I guess you missed that part! :rolleyes: Here's the part I left out of that story. The reason white people here in the backwoods in the deep south are close to my mom's family is that my great grandfather, who was a reconstruction error judge, owned a store and did massage therapy, kept a lot of white people in this valley alive during the great depression. Only he and the postman owned a car. He would drive to the big city, buy a large sack full of day old bread, and stop at every house, white or black, and leave a loaf. When the KKK threatened to lynch him because some stupid redneck saw through the window of his clinic him working on a white woman's foot and ignorantly thought there was something sexual about it, one of his friends who was a sheriff, and also a klansman because all of the sheriffs were back then, deputized my great grand dad and gave him a revolver and the cowards backed off. Another redneck once threatened to rape my mom when she was a teenager. She told him "I can't stop you, but if you do that the same will happen to your daughter." He backed off. Someday I hope you grow out of your residual hate. But if not you are most certainly free to find yourself an all white enclave somewhere. And if one of your all white friends slits the throat of someone you care about don't come crying to me about it.

Good pick. "The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man." - Malcolm X

What evil people? Name them.

In 2024 America that notion is laughable. Or at least laughable in this instance. The most dangerous person to a young black man is another young black man. Assuming the Speaker's adopted son did not have to run the gauntlet of autistic mayhem that is any black school or urban neighborhood, he'll do just fine.

That is why there must be a separation. You got pulled over. I had a great grandmother beaten to death by blacks in East Orange NJ and left to die in the gutter. Whose grievance is greater? There is no solving this, diversity and integration is an abject failure.

Horrible. But at least she's a grown ass woman. Where's this boy's mama? Oh yeah. Collecting his stripper checks.

Oh look! This innocent black Uber driver took some bullets from this defenseless old white man who wrongly thought she was part of a scam to rob him.

He didn't keep a chokehold on him after he passed out. In fact the drunk person didn't pass out a all. It kind of makes a helluva difference whether the person you're restraining dies or not. I've yet to see a complete Daniel Penny video (which is why I still haven't given my opinion on it) but I know for a fact that I would have convicted Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd for the simple reason that Chauvin had his knee on Floyd's neck for 2 minutes after Floyd no longer had a pulse. If Penny did something similar, then why should he not be charged and/or convicted? Penny's lawyer tried to point to another case where someone on a subway took defended himself from a gun wielding assailant and killed the assailant in the process as a reason his client should walk. https://nypost.com/2024/03/15/us-news/daniel-pennys-lawyer-applauds-das-decision-not-to-charge-brooklyn-subway-shooter/ I can see the difference between those two instances. Can you?

Whatever. I saw you mention me out in the "taking things from white people" thread. I thought that was bullshyt but I let it go. But I was say this. Nowhere in the video that you posted did Speaker Johnson use the term "white privilege." He simply said his (foster) son who is black will have a harder time than his white son. As a black man who's lived over half a century in the Southern U.S. I agree. I've been pulled over or stopped walking down the street for no reason at all and was told by different cops that I just "looked" like some suspect they were looking for. Bullshyt! Unless you do like Speaker Johnson did and take in a black kid and raise him, you won't have any real idea of what black people go through. Here is a picture of speaker Johnson, his wife and their foster son. Damn you for making me like the guy now! I will add, I don't think all white people are bad or all black people are good or that the South is necessarily worse than the North. Once my dad got pulled over and drawn on by a Secret Service agent who was down here from D.C. to investigate a counterfeiting ring. His only claim was my dad was driving a silver van and so was the alleged counterfeiter. At the time my dad, a disabled Vietnam era veteran, was around 80. I called one of the local while leaders in the community that knew my mom from when they were children. He called the local sheriff. Within a few weeks he reported back to me that the Secret Service agent had been fired. And that's great and all, but say if our family didn't have those connections? Just something to think about.

Of all of the reasons to oppose Mike Johnson, his recognizing that racism is real isn't one of them. :rolleyes: Seriously, who the fvck denies that? Edit: Even Ron Paul agrees with Mike Johnson on this.

Bullshyt. William Barr was nominated before Donald Trump made the phone call that led to the first impeachment. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?566467-Debunking-the-claim-that-Trump-had-to-appoint-William-Barr-to-avoid-impeachment

LOL. So RFK supports MItch McConnell? Unless you've got donation receipts to back that up STFU. Nobody put a gun to Trump's head and forced him to fill the swamp in order to drain it. He did NOT have to appoint William Barr to be AG and Mike Pompeo to be SOS. He could have nominated Pat Buchanan for SOS. If Mitch shot Pat down that would have damaged him more than Trump. Jay Seculo for attorney general. Again, Mitch would have damaged himself more trying to take him on. You're not even TRYING to make sense.

Had enough yet?

Because that was a lie. And all of us liberty minded, laisse faire, live and let live folks, were suckered. We swallowed that shit, hook, line and sinker, myself included. It was never about people privately living their lives as they saw fit. It was always about normalizing the most disgusting and bizarre perversions known since Sodom and Gomorrah, the idiotic idea that two men were "husband and wife" and must, by law, under penalty of prison, be regarded as such, was just as absurd and just as potent a Marxist mind fuck as it is to be forced, by law, to address the fat man in a dress with chemically grown tits as "ma'am".
