See, here's the problem. You can't get around this by saying you agree there's racism in the abstract because you never seem to acknowledge it in any particular case unless it's racism against white people. If you ever have, it's been few enough times to escape my attention.
Suppose we had a poster here who, every time there was a thread about a cop shooting a black guy, always took the side that the shoot was bad and the cop was a racist. When pressed as to how he could believe that every case of a cop shooting a black guy was unjustified and because of racism, he says, "I never said that was the case every time!" Except every single individual case he had an opportunity to comment on he drew the exact same conclusion.
See the problem?
It's the people who would choose to believe Jussie's story at the outset that you don't understand.
I used the word correctly in regards to what you post and how.
But you have no stats of your own, therefore this fogginess of yours is purely emotional.
Here is a nice synopsis of some of the vile things that has been attributed to Trump supporters that later turned out to be nothing but lies. Socialists are a sick breed.

"White officers do not kill black suspects at a higher rate compared with nonwhite officers," concludes a research team led by Charles Menifield, dean of the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers University–Newark. "The killing of black suspects is a police problem, not a white police problem."

TMZ (the world's most trusted news source, doncha know) says the whole thing is going to the grand jury next week. Not sure what all they're working on charging him/them? with. I guess we'll see.
Some interesting things from the article:
Love this one: "We're told investigators didn't believe the 2 alleged attackers screamed, 'This is MAGA country,'because, 'Not a single Trump supporter watches 'Empire.'"
"Our sources say early on they asked Jussie if he'd sign complaints against the 2 men who attacked him and he was clear that he would. But, when he found out the 2 brothers were the ones in custody we're told he said he knew them, felt bad for them and declined to sign the complaints.
We're told the way they tracked the 2 brothers down was by their movements in arriving and leaving the scene around Jussie's apartment building. As we reported, they left in either a cab or an Uber, but we're told cops tracked the vehicle and the 2 brothers got out on their way home and into another vehicle. As one source put it, "It was almost like a bad spy movie."
Cops were extremely suspicious when Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera."
You could say that but you can't deny it takes more effort to come up with an obscure Tawana Brawley reference over something that happened in 1987 (had to look up) vs the "B" girl which happened in 2008 (I remembered that one)
But you did enjoy my double-dildo comment re: you and UC, no? I thought you appreciated it as an "astute observation," no?
Wow. Did anyone link to the montage yet?
So you claim that "They knew it was bullshit from the start, but they acted as if they bought it and were just doing their job to help him as a victim" yet you don't have anything to back this claim.No precise link

Alrighty then...
You made the claim, not me.You expect me to find a CNN article where they interviewed police and they say "Yeah, lol, we were trolling him the whole time".
My argument is that I think you are seeing the support and thus the problem of Trump smaller than what it is.
What do you think my argument is?
damn, I meant to say "comment"--not argument. And by comment, the general statement in your post--not what you were arguing. lol
Wait, wait, wait.....are you telling me this is whole thing was a lie? Jussie lied?!
Maybe it's been addressed, but as for timeline, the whole letter thing was a separate incident. That arrived at Fox Studios on Jan 22nd.@HomerJS
(cutouts to make letter), stamps (to send letter)
Someone recently asked me about the post he made about the 90% thing. I said he was wrong for that. I do spend a lot of time on this forum, but, I don't follow people on the forum. The discussion about the 90% thing I totally missed. When it was shown the post I criticized it.
So ask again and I will address it. Just don't accuse me off something that did not happen.
Hey Brad, there's another thread now with a video of a man being asked if he's gay, and when he responds by saying yes, the man punches him in the face.
Guess who is now over there being skeptical of it? Someone and Slow. Now emboldened by getting lucky with Smollett, they'll question every incident no matter how obvious.
Don't tell me they aren't biased.
No - Not at all.
My main emphasis is that shoving a camera in someones face to the point where it is within punch-able distance is a little on you. It isn't difficult to pull out your camera, start recording, and still be at a reasonable distance. We have zero clue what the context of the situation here is. You have no clue what happened prior, nor after this TINY MICROSCOPIC 8-second clip - and neither do I.
Not saying that his actions are acceptable. Burn him at the stake for battery or whatever presuming that this 8-second clip gives the overall story in full.
