Kind of like trading five POWs for Bowe Bergdahl and having one of your high ranking representatives declare, on national TV, that Bergdahl served his country with "honor and distinction" Or perhaps telling the parents of the deceased Benghazi victims, upon their arrival, that "we'll get that guy who made that video" ( implying that the video was responsible)?

Then your contention is that we do not understand why people believe the way we do? Let's assume you are absolutely 100% correct. Lets further agree that we are going to make a more concerted effort to understand where others are "coming from". How are we to demonstrate that new approach? I am thinking that the first time a minority is killed by a police officer( whether justified or not) it will be promoted as a cop looking for a reason to shoot/kill a black person. Am I wrong in thinking/believing that?

None of that matters. One example of locker room talk is far more important than the collective impact of the above.

Are you saying that the lynchings of many years ago are justification for promoting ( yes unequivocally promoting) the thought that there are many many police out stalking black people seeking the opportunity to shoot and kill them?

Based upon your comments, how do you think the original "experiment" that I solicited in the very first post of this thread would turn out?

In many cases, the upbringing many of these kids experience is one where they are indoctrinated that police are bad and are out to get them. When that value/thought is fixed in their mind, they behave differently when confronted by "the enemy"(advance perception) vs other social situations.

Yes we should try, but with equal concern for fat people, ugly people, etc.etc. etc.

Do you believe it is possible to eliminate all individual instances of injustice? If so, please tell me how we could have prevented the death of Kate Steinle. I struggle frequently to understand why nobody seems to care about her death but will talk for hours about being treated poorly by a police officer.

Progressivism at it's finest.

Maybe Hillary got to him before the authorities could?

Cant recall being moved this much in a very long time if ever.

Tobie, Lets not do any of what you suggested. We need to concentrate on more important stuff like tearing down statues and changing the name of the Redskins and forcing the NFL to give Kaepernick a job

Who was it on this board that claimed to be a journalist? In case you haven't discovered yet, most "journalists" have been spending their time ruining the credibility heretofore afforded journalists.

Nothing new there. Whenever he gets a question that he can't answer without looking extra foolish, he gives something irrelevant or says "grab em".

If you work in the movie theatre and decide to walk across the stage during the movie and take a knee, you will be fired.

Remember these famous words- " Not all Republicans are racist, but all racists are Republicans"- This reflects an deep analysis and understanding of the situation

Translation- if you are not defiant with white folks and try to work with them, you are not truly black

You may be right. Lets see when he gets another job in the NFL.

Translation_ You can trust nobody on this board except Big Girl

THe point, Big Girl, which flew completely over your head ( like it does most of the time) is that, contrary to what you and the media would have everyone believe, there are not a large number of police officers out stalking and shooting unarmed innocent black men.

Certain young men who have so little respect for common decency and are so dedicated to proving how defiant they are, that they will go to extraordinary steps to "prove themselves"

Whose thinking would you rather consider: Al Sharpton or Condie Rice?

The return on equity for Pfizer ( yes Tobie, a pharmaceutical company) is around 13%. The return on equity for Apple Computer is 36%. If and when you can grasp what return on equity means, I want you to let me know why Pfizer charges too much for its product but everything is great at Apple. Are you one of those who believes also that if the oil companies would sell their products for no profit, that gasoline prices would go way, way, way down? If you believe this, is that why one establishes an oil company or a pharmaceutical company or any type of company? Are they there to be non profit organizations? Without profits, how do they provide retirement plans and subsidize the healthcare costs of their employees. You touted Jeff Bezos and Amazon for the benefits they offer their employees. How do you think those benefits are paid for? The federal government is not only non profit, but is a huge loss creator that is permitted to write checks with nothing behind them. And you want more activity from the Fed? Do you think they would do well managing drug prices and oil prices? Ask Venezuela and Greece those questions and let me know.
