Man killed by deputies was sought in Tenn., Ohio for bank robberies

That is only 1 of 3 definitions. No one is exempt. That is the dumbest thing I've seen posted on here today, even dumber than the Cleveland guy. If you think like that, you might be a racist. Better check yourself before lecturing others.

rac·ism [rey-siz-uhm]

noun

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.

3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

What an absolute crock of crap. Black Americans absolutely can and some are racist against not only white people, but Asians and Hispanics. I wonder though if those racist black Americans would be discriminatory against the Black African kings that sold them to whites to begin with. Or the black American, even though small in number that owned slaves themselves.

"Racism is a system of power. No black population on the Earth has any power to deny white populations access to anything. Although a black person can harbor bigoted feelings towards whites, without the power to implement the racism, there is no racism."

I can refute your argument with three words.

Knock.Out.Game.

The sole purpose of this new trend is to deny individuals the right and freedom to move about freely, without fear of a vicious, violent, animalistic assault. That power is vividly demonstrated by the aftermath; broken bones, bloodshed and occasionally the loss of innocent lives. Your mindset and ideals are hopelessly flawed as you cannot accept the fact that individuals should be held to account for their own behavior. I'm sorry that people of color were persecuted, enslaved and victimized but does that mean I deserve to have my head cracked open while walking through Waterfront Park. The Jewish people were the black man's slave for thousands of years. By your logic, it would be acceptable for feral bands of men wearing yamakas to roam the West end to exact vengeance and reparations. I'm already painfully aware that none of this will change the way you feel. I can utilize your own word, "I know you will think of something clever or comedic to dismiss what I'm saying but deep in your heart, I know you see the logic." Or you may simply dismiss my views as racist on face value alone and let that trump anything pertinent I could bring to the discussion. That would probably be the easiest way to "win" the debate. (Kind of like, how easy it is smashing a 70 year old man upside the ahead and turning his pockets inside out...it beats workin' for a living.)

You've been awfully quiet lately...where have you been? Perhaps down at waterfront park? How's the view from the area of the Big Four Bridge? Have you spotted any good deals shopping at Bader's Market?
