This woman is upset that her black son was shot by cops. What she didn't mention was that her son had a gun, and shot at the officers before being shot back.

So, if a black person is shooting at you, you shouldn't shoot back, because that would be racist?

Answer 1

It is easy to just throw out the race card. They think that will buy them sympathy. OH boo Hoo I am black and the white man keeps me locked up. I should be able to do what I want ! What a load of crap. I believe the black person should have EQUAL rights. But not more. There race was enslaved, get over it. No one that was a slave is around today, so I owe you NOTHING> Grow a set, pick yourself up by your bootstraps and live your life. like the rest of us have to.

Answer 2

It's easier than making more substantive arguments.

Unfortunately, it never moves "the conversation" along - look at the two most recent Presidents of Black America: Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. This pair of shakedown artists wouldn't know what to do if they weren't playing the race card.

The fact that anyone at all pays any attention at all to those two bums is very, very sad.

Answer 3

it really is, it became, and it continually has been Conservatives. The pick to communicate about Liberals utilizing the "race card" notwithstanding it type of feels it really is them that continually commence up it. a reliable celebration became at the same time as Obama (no longer so well) said the police branch "acted stupidly"... It became the Cons that at modern-day became it right into a racial element that has been occurring now for 3 days.

Answer 4

They (and I'm not saying all of them do) throw it out there because it's easy and convenient. We have all these politicians and PC people out there that are so afraid of being called racist they make it so that a race can do no wrong.

It's disgusting, wrong, and disturbing that our world has come to this.
I guess it's just easier to try and point the blame elsewhere then to realize that there are consequences to your actions.

Answer 5

yes i think that the cops should have shot back because they felt that their life was at stake but i don't think that you should have said that all black people throw the race card. Your mouth can be a blessing or can be a curse. Your applying this to every black person. instead of criticism and down-siding people pray for them and pray for a better world because we all have to live in it.

Answer 6

i did a study for my college course, a buddy (whom happens to be black) went to a bank to get a business loan. i've got a nice credit score and his was lower. to make a long story short he was given the business loan and i was denied. the racecard is over, it left with affirmative action. the new minority is a single white male. even my friend agreed. I understand older minorities being upset still but younger minorities should buck up and make a difference instead of getting the sympathy vote. if you ask me we're all minorities except for the rich and the politicians

Answer 7

It's all they got. It's a cop out basically.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
