Look at what this sheriff had to say...

[seven2014]

Here's a newsflash for you: YOU HAVE COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT.

And it wasn't me who originally said this. It was a black sheriff.

But didn't you say that it was truth to what he said? That sounds like you are in agreement with him.

Yes, I agree with him.

But I wasn't the originator of the thought, nor am I the only person that believes he speaks the truth.

At any rate, these protestors are basically turning themselves into jokes. Protesting a veteran's award ceremony, tweeting stupid pictures of white people in a cafe, spitting in white people's food...real mature there! Hopefully soon they will just fade back into the background until they find something else to get all revved up about.

Here, read this and see if you and your sheriff still think there is a wide gap.
Reported Legal Abortions by Race of Woman Who Obtained Abortion by the State of Occurrence | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

I've read stats from both Guttenmacher and Kaiser.

Both suggest that while whites have more abortions (which pains me), blacks are having more per population.

Say you have 10 black people and 25 white people. 5 of each of those groups get abortions. Who is more affected population-wise by the 5 abortions?

Yes, they need to learn their "place", right?

If that's what you think, then that's YOUR issue.

Because I didn't say that, nor did I even imply it.

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Let me get this straight:

A person committing a crime and resisting arrest who gets killed by his or her own bad choices is a tragedy.

Nobody is guilty of any crime until they've been found guilty by a jury. Here in America, police don't determine guilt. Everyone is presumed innocent until they've had their day in court. I imagine it's hard to hear a dead guy's story...

A child who is merely inconvenient to the mother or father and summarily executed is the exercise of a right.

Yes it is. If you don't like it, you should do something about that. Until then, you can't stop people from exercising their rights, even the ones you don't agree with.

A Black Sheriff who expresses an opinion about morality is obviously racist. Against black people. Of course.

I wouldn't say he's racist, per say. I don't know the guy but I would have to assume he's probably biased towards other sheriff's and LEOs considering that's his profession.

I don't like to presume but let's be real here. Law enforcement is this guy's life... he kinda has to take their side.

I see the problem. Poor education. People who cannot differentiate between logic and the leftist view of political correctness. Please, carry on. Enjoy your ignorance.

Oh definitely a display of ignorance in this thread coming from the people who equate abortion with murder.

That is a false equivalence. Abortion is not legally defined as murder, so no crime is actually being committed.

OTOH, preventing someone from seeing their day in court at least should be a civil rights violation, at most murder depending on the circumstances and most likely manslaughter because I guess I can concede that it comes with the territory of this profession.

The point is, this is a false equivalence based on an emotional response to abortion. I'm sorry but Black lives do matter more than non-existing lives.

 

[seven2014]

Yes, I agree with him.

At any rate, these protestors are basically turning themselves into jokes. Protesting a veteran's award ceremony,

You mean like the Westboro Baptist Church that go around and protest gay veterans funerals?

tweeting stupid pictures of white people in a cafe

Sorry, I don't get it. Have you seen the new Wal-Mart pics yet?

spitting in white people's food...real mature there!

You mean like the whites that worked at Taco Bell peeing in folks food, and sticking folks food up their nose?

Hey, check out what a few whites did at subway?

Hopefully soon they will just fade back into the background until they find something else to get all revved up about.

You don't really like blacks, do you? Look at the things you say and the logic you use? Everything you've pointed out, other races do, and have done. But you seem to think that only blacks do wrong and unspeakable things.

 

[seven2014]

Read you posts, many of them lead straight to bigot-ville.

I thought the main point was killing a living being? You should care about both, no matter what the numbers are.

But you keep harping on blacks having abortions, but say nothing about the other races that are having them also. Why is that?

 

[stevevw]

The level of logic on display here is unthinkable. Do you know how many things people of all races should be protesting but aren't?

Like I saw in my previous post, a woman choosing to have an abortion is a right, getting wrongly killed by the police isn't. And how someone can compare the two is beyond me.

You hit it on the head, you think its OK for a women to have an abortion so you will see it that way. The OP doesn't think its OK to have an abortion. So she will feel strongly about that. See the difference. She obviously thinks both situations are wrong and there's nothing wrong with that.

Exactly. This points a large arrow in the direction of that town you mentioned.

The other thing that she and her fellow supporters can't/wont see is that it would only be an hypocrisy if the protestors shared her view that abortion is 'murder'. They quite obviously don't. So they are not guilty of hypocrisy, simply of having a different opinion!

 

[stevevw]

If its anything like here in Australia the indiginous people suffer higher statistics for health, education and law as well. Thats the same for any minority group who dont fit into the mainstream system for whatever reason. Because they do represent higher rates for deaths, crime, health problems ect they need extra consideration.

The difference I see is that she only has a problem with blacks having an abortion. Shouldn't she and the sheriff have a problem with all race of women having abortions?

You said it yourself, The OP doesn't think its OK to have an abortion. I infer that to mean all women who chose to have one.

And maybe it's just me, but I don't think you are reading her post, or at the very least, comprehending what she is saying.

Which do you think is worst:

A) Blacks protesting a veteran's award ceremony.
b) Westbhoro Baptist Church protesting at a veteran's funeral

Are blacks the only race that are tweeting stupid pictures of white people in a café?

If so, Go to Wal=Mart .com and look at what whites are doing.

Are blacks the only race that spit in white people's food?

If so, you must not have hear the stories about Taco Bell, Subway, etc.

real mature there! Hopefully soon they will just fade back into the background until they find something else to get all revved up about.

This almost started out saying they should go back somewhere, or they should be seen and not heard.

This is not as simple as you're making it sound. For example, here in America the Native Americans suffered a high death rate due to external forces that oppressed them in several ways. One act was they were intentionally given smallpox in blankets to help diminish their numbers.

Today, we all are under attack from the powers that be, they just got you thinking you aren't in that pool.

 

[Sean Robson]

Why exactly are blacks the subject of this thread?

 

[LOVEthroughINTELLECT]

African-Americans probably need abortion services more than white people, therefore the percentage of them using such services is probably higher than other groups' percentages.

People in high income brackets probably have more access to abortion services than people in low income brackets.

Which group do you think that African-Americans are in? I would say that African-Americans are mostly in the lower income brackets.

Therefore, African-Americans are among the people with the least access to abortion services. And, I think that it is safe to say, that is due to centuries of flagrantly racist policies. That is not what I would call a conspiracy to kill African-Americans through abortion.

Therefore, I conclude that the abortion statistics for African-Americans simply reflect the fact that they have a greater need for abortion services. Someone who truly believes that black lives matter and truly believes that abortion ends a life ought to be fighting for change that results in African-Americans not needing abortion services more than any other group.

That's a little disingenuous, isn't it.

The OP is clearly pointing out that people are getting worked up over a handful of black being shot whilst (we assume) saying nothing about the thousands of blacks being aborted.

And as others have said, this is only an issue if you share the feeling that abortion is murder.

But yeah, I get it, we're all supposed to feel the life of a cute cuddly maybe-eventually-will-be-a-baby is way more important than than of a scary black teenager. And because of that we should allow a police propagandist to distract us from the increasing militarization and brutality of police. Nothing questionable about that sort of emotional appeal.

Ever noticed how, generally speaking, the first thing that happens before a mass slaughter of humanity is the denial that those to be killed are human...

Has it occured to you that such might be a consequence as much as it is a cause of problems - meaning that it has arisen in reaction to the way that society has degenerated into the normalising of anti-social behaviour over the last 50 years?
