Jamie Foxx : 'Keep Telling the Truth'...What is the truth??

[mudwhistle]

That's rich......since you are essentially defending a myth that cops like killing blacks for shits and giggles.

poor wacky muddy

Sad silly Jilly.......

not at all, loony toon.

No problem, stinky butt.

you need to stop projecting your failures onto others.

and you really need better material.

now run along and posted bigoted crap on the troll threads you like so much.

Nope.......it's more fun bitch-slapping your ignorant ass!!!

 

[ClosedCaption]

Again you obviously are not savvy regarding black culture so maybe you would watch this video where Chris Rock advises black men that:
"How not to get your ass kicked by the police"

It says in the video to get a white friend. If its not about race why do you need a white friend?

Where did I say anything about "race"? Why are you injecting racism into this?

My bad, you said black culture

 

[ClosedCaption]

Post the quote and we'll see

Police boycott Quentin Tarantino movies after he calls cops 'murderers'
“When I see murders, I do not stand by ... I have to call a murder a murder, and I have to call the murderers the murderers.”

If someone is a murderer what are we supposed to call them?

Why are all cops upset when he clearly prefaced it by saying a murderer is a murderer if they arent murdering?

Simple.....because the dumbass said it at an anti-cop rally following the death of yet another officer killed in the line of duty. A black officer no less.

That doesnt explain why someone would pretend they are murderers or be offended by calling a murderer a murderer. He clearly stated that in order to call them a murderer they have to COMMIT A MURDER first.

Playing dumb?
You want to defend hate-speech, when it's a liberal, but then turn around and scream bloody murder at the drop of a hat when it's a conservative.
The protest wasn't against any specific case. It was a general protest against police officers. All he was doing was stirring up hatred against cops. That is what he did. You cannot assume he was doing otherwise without any evidence.

Oh I get it. You think I say things because you SAY I do. You think things are what you SAY they are, they are protesting what YOU SAY they are.

Go fuck yourself dumbass

“Simply put, white cops are afraid of black men. We don’t talk about it, we pretend it doesn’t exist, we claim “color blindness,” we say white officers treat black men the same way they treat white men. But that’s a lie. In fact, the bigger, the darker the black man the greater the fear. The African-American community knows this. Hell, most whites know it. Yet, even though it’s a central, if not the defining ingredient in the makeup of police racism, white cops won’t admit it to themselves, or to others.”

Nope. it only proves they are cowards that have to have a gun and backup. Why would they be afraid to arrest Blacks? The cops have a larger arsenal than the Black guy and plenty of backup. Take off the badge, gun, be alone and we both know the fear would cause bile in the white guys throat.

Why wouldn't I use a tool that makes the job easier, and is more effective ?
Do I use my hands to dig a hole when I have a shovel at hand ?

If I'm a police officer, and confronted with someone who refuses to take directions, then naturally my weapon whether it's a baton, a tazer, pepper spray or the gun sometimes becomes necessary when you have combative subjects.

I already knew that before I ever spent time with white people. The fear is primal in some of you. Well at least the males. Thanks for finally fessing up. The women seem to be fine with us and tell us everything you say and think. I remember hooking up with one of my co-workers daughters when I transferred to a new location. This young lady told me everything the white guys said to her about staying away from me when they found out I was coming. It was hilarious.

Sounds like you think all black men are nothing but muscles and no brains. That goes with racial stereotyping which someone like you shouldn't be doing!
For shame! Not all black men are like that just like not ALL black men are criminals. It's just the facts show that as a percent of the US population
black men cause a higher percent of crimes.

It’s true that around 13 per cent of Americans are black, according to the latest estimates from the US Census Bureau.

And yes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008. Only 45 per cent of the offenders were white. Homicide is a broader category than “murder” but let’s not split hairs.
In 2013, the FBI has black criminals carrying out 38 per cent of murders, compared to 31.1 per cent for whites. The offender’s race was “unknown” in 29.1 per cent of cases.
There is evidence in the official police-recorded figures that black Americans are more likely to commit certain types of crime than people of other races.
FactCheck: do black Americans commit more crime?

Let's break it down further.
If 13% of Americans are black but 38% of murders are done by blacks.

That's not racist but it is the FACT... blacks do commit more murders then whites EVEN though blacks make up less then 13% of the population.
This is not a stereotype but a FACT.
Why is it so hard for people to accept those facts!

I wonder why given the FACTS that of all the parties involved, who do the cops see commit the most crimes? Blacks.
Why does the stereotype that most men wearing saggy pants, hoodies, riding bikes seem to fit black men? Because black men as a percent of the population
commit a larger share of crimes.

I'm part American Indian. I had a black cousin in the 50s in Iowa. A black partner in Texas in the 70s. I've worked for black bosses.
So I've never feared them. But they like me feared a black guy wearing a hoodie, walking towards them with their hand on their crotch holding up their pants sagging to their knees,and another hand in their pocket. To any smart logical person KNOWING that persona fits a person that as Obama told us HE WAS...an angry black man!
Frankly I am more comfortable seeing such a black criminal coming towards me as I know this guy wouldn't be lying... But Obama was lying!
from Obama's book "Dreams from My Father"...published July 18,1995
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned.
People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied. They were revealed.
Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
