Why do black people always play the race card etc. when it just takes their power away etc.?

Question

When anything bad happens to a black person in the media etc. you can count on 3 things: 1) Al Sharpton will get on tv, 2) Jesse Jackson will get on tv, and 3) black people will all be crying "racism." Why are black people so ******* paranoid all the time about this?! For example they're acting like those NYC guys that got shot were model citizens or something! It's ridiculous!

by the way I'm South Asian - Punjabi to be specific.

Answer 1

Black people do not "always" play the race card when something bad happens. But when three unarmed men are shot at 51 times by police, it is entirely reasonable to ask if race played a role, as it has so often before in unjustified police shootings. And the reason we care is because we know that if it could happen to them, it could happen to us. Is that clear enough for you to understand?

And since you say the men were "hardly model citizens," why don't you tell us what you know about them that supports that claim. All I've heard is that they were at a club and they left and were set upon by plain clothed cops who may or may not have identified themselves.

Answer 2

I am white so I may have a totally different perspective than a black person or any other minority, but I think since the black were persecuted for so long, the whole whites owning black slaves, they feel as though we as white people owe them something. Please don't take this offensively any balck person that reads this, but the majority of blacks that want to make whites feel as though we DO indeed owe them something didn't even live during the time that they were being SERIOUSLY secluded from American Society as a whole. But the same goes for the White Supremicists they have no reason to act the way they do either! I think we will have to deal w/ blacks feeling that way for the end of time personally! Have you noticed anytime a black man is prosecuted for a crime they say "Oh well if it weren't for them honkeys treating him the way they did this would've never happened." No if he would have used his head instead of thinking a/b his "street cred" it would have never happened! I could go on and on but I will stop here...If we all could get past what happened in the PAST then we'd be a lot better off!!

Answer 3

try to avoid the word "always"...it takes away 90% of the strength of your argument...also, when unarmed people get ventilated by the police, someone is going to yell 'He## No!' and if it takes the race card to get some attention to what happened, then play what you have to play...last i checked there was no death penalty for not being a 'model citizen'...regardless of what the investigation shows, as long as the truth comes out, then it's worth making a few people uncomfortable...if the police were justified, fine...if not...i've known a lot of people in law enforcement...not ONE of them had any qualms about getting bad cops off the street

Answer 4

I know! Iam half black and Indian and when people are blantantly being racist my white friends ask me Why dont you pull the race card, but that is exactly why i dont like saying anything because everyone is like ohhh lord the race card. So many black people abused it to the point where it means nothing and people dont want to hear it whether it's true or not!

Answer 5

First I'm only my fathers son not MY father OK does that say enough for you all. What happend in the past is not every ones fault now. And yes some times black people are stuck in the past and blaming all the white people for the past and what our father's fathers did. I'm white and i know some dame good black people and that is what they are people .. get over it and live life to the fullest and love ..

Answer 6

The point was that the police shot unarmed Innocent men.Do you think that's okay?And all of us are not paranoid.You sound very racist.And I'm not saying that as a black woman,I'm saying that as a person.And isn't you race considered an ethnic group?I think that your race and mine doesn't get as many opportunities as another race.

Answer 7

Actually, you have to understand where black people comes from, they have to endure centuries of slavery and inhuman treatments and still to these days they get discriminated by every other race.
