Racism on The North Side? (Chicago, Sheridan: movie theater, taxes, restaurant)

I gave a descriptive list of tragic events that I prayed for yet you need to know if I pray when black people are shot in the hood.

Now you want me to answer all your burning black questions.

Funny, for a man who claims to have his ear to the community so well, you seem a bit lost. Almost as if you don't really live the life you claimed earlier. You don't have black friends, you have people you see in passing.

Have a good day!

My point about Eric Garner was that no, he didn't deserve to die, BUT, he had been previously arrested 30 times! He obviously couldn't stay out of trouble and was leading the life of a criminal. For some reason, he just didn't want to be a law abiding citizen. So, like I said, leading that life caught up with him.

This is the thread that keeps on giving...

You're useless Drover!

After all that was said, this is what you focused on? Guess you didn't notice when I said the same would happen to a black guy suggesting what's wrong with whites in a white neighborhood huh? I know you like to kick the badger on most of these race infused threads. Nice try!

Such the little race baiter!

He was daring to do the same damn thing the founders of the nation did at the Boston Tea Party...dare to avoid b/s punitive taxes which impoverish the people. the fact that our armed police are even being used as basically nothing more than goonish tax collectors is every bit as frightening as Garner's death is sad.

Some Black people killed or brutalized by police

Tamir Rice (12 years old, playing with a toy gun)
John Crawford III (killed in Walmart while holding a toy gun, pointed at the floor)
Michael Brown
Kajieme Powell (mentally disturbed man with knife shot within a few seconds of police pulling up)
Eric Garner (killed by chokehold when officer was taking him down)
Aiyana Stanley Jones (7 years old, killed by a grenade thrown into her grandmother's apartment by mistake)
Dante Price (shot by security guards at Virginia Tech - guards indicted)
Kendrec Lavelle McDade (shot after 911 caller lied and said he had been robbed at gunpoint)
Amadou Diallo (West African immigrant with no criminal record shot in vestibule of his apartment building)
Sean Bell (shot at a stag party shortly before he was supposed to be married)
Orlando Barlow (shot while on his knees surrendering)
Aaron Campbell (shot in the back when he came out while cops were supposedly performing a welfare check)
Abner Louima (Haitian immigrant sodomized with a broom stick in police station)
Brian Hundley (dental student shot by off-duty officer after he got out of the car and had his hands on the car)
Marvin Williams (was mistaken for murder suspect and shot while fleeing. the officer had lots of complaints in his jacket)
Jonny Gammage (surrounded by 5 white officers during routine traffic stop, had no weapon, no alcohol or drugs in his system, suffocated after pressure was applied to his neck and chest)

There are plenty more.

Whatever your philosophical or political stance is on taxation is irrelevant. You do the crime, you do the time.
I don't like paying federal income taxes, but guess what...I still do.
This guy knew what he was doing was illegal. He simply didn't want to get a real job. Had he complied with the officer requests, he would have been arrested, fined and back out on the streak breaking the law again today. His fault for not complying with the officers orders.
After chance 1, chance 2, hell....chance 25, you would have thought he would have learned his lesson. Apparently not.

What about the list of cops killed by black people? Do you want to compile that one? Didn't think so.

Unfortunately, the list of blacks killed by other blacks is about 500 times as long as the list you have.

Blacks have no choice but to be defensive on the Internet because every post turns into, "You know if those blacks would just get it together".

If any person does a crime, then there ought to be consequences. In every neighborhood. Like getting arrested.

It's an amazing example of civic architecture, though. They don't build 'em like that any more.
