Thank you for your input.
I am not interested in discussing this topic with you.

If what you are saying is simply defined, please do so simply. You aren't. At all. You keep deflecting by bringing up Al Sharpton. Tell me, in your own words, what you mean, because I can't understand you so far.

Al Sharpton means little to me, and I don't understand how you are comparing him to me.

I did? Care to quote that?

The Civil Rights Act disagrees with you.

That's not exactly true, but I don't think you understand the difference between Objective and Subject Reality, so I am going to save the explanation on the difference.

I have already stated this. And provided examples.
I can't force you to understand it.
Very odd that you come across as intelligent in race issues, yet can't grasp this.
Give me a bit.
Or, is it like the whole "since you omitted" addressing something, you are therefore for it.
Really?? So that governs peoples thoughts now??
Ummm yeah. Just because you don't agree with how someone exercises their rights, doesn't mean you get to deny them that right.

hahahaha.....
Why not just give us ONE bit of evidence of a causal relationship to support your claims?
Anyway.... I'll simply provide commentary about your indefensible claims.
The claims being made are causal in nature. I.e., what causes some people to get shot by police. Claims are made that the skins colors of the suspects and officers are the cause.
Those claims cannot be substantiated.
What can be substantiated are the actual causes for suspects being shot:
Here are some examples:
Pointing a gun at a cop who's telling you to drop your weapon will cause a person to get shot.
Resisting arrest will cause a person to be physically taken down by police.
Trying to take the gun from a cop and resisting arrest will cause a person to be shot.
Simply owning a store in Ferguson may cause your store to be burnt to the ground by criminals.
Readers will not that those accusing white cops of murdering black suspects because they're racist ignore the actual causes of the death.

Look, it is clear that you don't understand the law.
It is not an attack and shooting an officer would be murder.
It is a lawful arrest, probable cause was established.
Even reasonable suspicion allows LE to handcuff for detaining someone.
Neither require LE to announce what they are doing.
The only thing required is to advise the person of their Miranda Rights, only when someone is detained AND being questioned.
And the statement of DUIs is very much applicable. Drunks, more times than not, a prone to violent reactions then sober people.
It clear shows that different people require different angles.

If that is the best you can do when trying to define a phrase, I guess we will have to move past it, because I certainly don't understand your efforts, though I do acknowledge you have tried.
originally posted by: DrJunk
Why? Why is this odd? Could you elaborate?
originally posted by: DrJunk
No. You made a direct claim about something I said. However, I would even entertain something you consider an "omission", for the sake of conversation.

Moving the goalposts. This is what you said.

So, your jumping into "Thought Police" mode is unwarranted.

Time for you to do your own thinking, instead of playing dumb as a style of debate, when you try to bait someone in.
So, since you didn't state it, you must agree with it.
Nope.
Civil Rights act does not govern people's thoughts.
You used the !st Amendment as your basis.
Nothing states that a person can't make racist statements. It is not illegal to do so.
That is what you pitch.
I'm not the one looking to control others and their thoughts. That is all you.

I'm not playing dumb. You just don't make sense. Sometimes it's to the point that I have to reread your sentences multiple times to understand the structure. Understand that when I am asking for clarification, I am addressing you in good faith. If you aren't interested in continuing the discussion in good faith, we can simply end it here. I don't really care either way.

Didn't you already try this tactic once before? If you are trying to make a point, I wish you would.

Racist thoughts aren't shooting black people at a rate 21 times higher than white people.
originally posted by: DrJunk
Nope, just trying to get the cops to stop murdering black people.

What in the hell are you talking about?
Really. You hop from something being illegal, being shown you are incorrect, now you are onto some NWO rant??
Come back to earth. It is nice. We have cookies.

I can't help you understand what you don't get.
When one refuses to answer as much as you do, much like when some repeats the question back, it means you have nothing.
But, racist thoughts are the ground, no? I mean, without those thoughts, actions don't happen.
