Good. NPR is a national treasure.


The strange thing is, I don't really listen to the national programs. I just really enjoy our local programming.

firstly, irrational anger is irrational. we've all been so mad we've done stupid or even inexcusable things.

the problem is irrational anger is only situationally condemned. other times we "understand". for the far end of the spectrum a dad walks in on someone molesting his kid, he beats them to death in a fit of rage. we all go, "well thats murder, but ill be damned if id vote guilty on that jury". near the center of the spectrum tho are cases subject to political bias. a city of angry black people in Minnesota are now empowered by that same understanding, they know that a large % of people will just accept them burning shit down. watch the live feeds, half the people in the street are white.

look at /r/blackpeopletwitter. violence gets cheers from across the nation. MLK day should be changed to "Pre-position-change Malcolm X Day". violence is "the only way". apparently people are too stupid to remember middle school social studies.


Not me. I've never been irrationally mad in my life.

I think they had to realize that if they went after this guy with Murder-1 or -2, and he got off, what has happened this week would look like a child's birthday party.

Here’s where I think there is a unique juxtaposition with some contradictory emotions and actions taken. The data overwhelms shows that in fact intra-racial homicides are much more common than system white cops murdering blacks. Whether it’s white on white, Hispanic on Hispanic, or black on black. It’s never brought up that Tyrone, a loving family man was gunned down by some gangster thug in the projects. Instead it’s actually praised that people “don’t snitch” or don’t cooperate with the authorities. So the challenge is how can we collaborate as communities to bring justice to black lives - where people refuse to bring evidence for justice in the name of not being a “pig lover”... we could stop a lot of these black on black homicides before they get to that level if the narrative wasn’t “cops are evil and out to get blacks” but that narrative will be overwhelmingly drowned out by “systemic racism” example like George Floyd and Philando

Freeman all but admitted during the conference that they rushed to charge him because of the riots, before their case was ready. He repeatedly stressed how abnormally fast this charge came, fastest ever against an officer for anything
They don't even have the coroner's report, and he's clearly being given less due process than an ordinary civilian would at this point.

"white help" wont be accepted earnestly for decades. any strides are washed away by pre civil rights mentality. the black community simultaneously blames white ruling classes for gang and also glorifies gang life. its a cycle that wont be broken for a long time, just like there are similarly problematic mentalities among white people that linger for generations.

but yes i agree with your post for sure.

I wish this was the narrative being talked about because self hatred and irrational violence is a much greater problem than cops who go rogue and conduct themselves outside of protocols. Bring justice for George Floyd by trying him for murder, but then let’s examine the plank in our own eyes in our own communities. This is what really irks me about supposed “black leaders” who won’t even condemn irrational anger. It’s total madness

What do you think are similar problematic mentalities in other communities?

Sorry to hear about your wife's husband's neutral state.

You know, the worst I ever did was steal people's Diablo II accounts and items by using the /dnd scam.

I've come a long way, thankfully.
