George Floyd - America so f**ked up

No, as ever you made a ridiculous comparison - got called out on it and started to change your story. 

Your original point suggested the story wouldn't be true because it's from the Guardian. You then later changed that/re-clarified what you meant, which is fair enough. Then the topic was discussed and we moved on. 

But now you're complaining that you got 'jumped on' because the ridiculous comparison you originally made, was ridiculous. 

I thought the ‘jumped on’ comment was Gastafari’s claim that he said the cop shooting could of been just  down to an over zealous cop and inferring that posters had put it down to racism. I’ve asked him to point out where & when this comment was jumped on as I can’t see it ? Maybe I missed it .

I stated Yes, it looks like its another over zealous Cop, but is it anything to with the 'Victim' being a 'Minority'?

Gassy: "Ah yes of course, Latinos can’t be racist against black people - only whites can"

Barbrady: "The Milgram experiment springs to mind no?"

Barbrady: "So what did you mean by that exactly as you feel it pertanent to the story that they are both minorities? I think that's exactly what you meant and you are now trying to claim otherwise"

Barbrady: "You suspect its less likely to be due to race because the offender was also from a minority group? Don't let me put words in your mouth but thats what I'm understanding from what you have written. Doubting a racial motive due to minority status of alleged offender? That right?"

There's just 3 examples, all because I dared to ask the question of whether it had anything to do with the victims race or another over zealous cop.

*sigh* I don't know how many times I need to keep repeating it. Your first statement, you made a comparison that the Guardian & DM command the same respect of standard of reporting and truth telling. 

I agree with Guardian is left wing, but that wasn't the original point you made. You then backtracked and changed what you meant and then it was dropped.

So clearly, my issue is around the direct comparison that they're of the same reporting standards and truth telling. You then complained about being jumped on, I'm giving my reasoning why I disagreed. I'm not sure why this is so difficult.


HA! You see before, I thought you were just confused - now I know you're just being a WUM. Let's review the entire post shall we?



You conveniently left that bit out. Wonder why.

Not at all, you're trying to take control of the narrative by changing the story. 

It happens over and over. 

No. That's precisely what you've done.

I simply asked the question whether the incident had anything to do with the victims race or just another over zealous cop.

I also found it interesting that the officers race wasn't mentioned, while the victims was.

You then tried taking the narrative somewhere else along with Barbrady by making wild accusations, and in Barbradys words "Putting words in my mouth" by insinuating and seeing things that weren't there, as per usual.

Lets just leave it there.

"
Why are you seperating 'Afro-carribbean' from other Black groups, but are not prepared to do it with other 'White Groups'?"

Because you did.
You were jumping up and down about separating afro carribbean groups from say African (I think you mentioned Nigeria)

So taking your point that its afro carribbean kids not black kids generally that have poor education outcomes, equal to those of white working class kids, what common denominators, in your opinion?

Exactly.

Because it's important for the discussion.

Too delve deeper

You don't want to though, as you're lumping all Whites together, while seperating 'Afro-carribbean.

As I've discussed there are variants depending on 'Culture' or 'Religion', like there is between Indian and Pakistani, or British and Irish/Polish/ or Albanian, likewise there is Afro-carribbean or Nigerian or Somalian.

I don't know what your point is, here? I've already said what I believe it to be down too, mostly.

Again, you don't want to listen to it!

Sorry are we just supposed to respond to your posts by saying 'gastafari has spoken, that's the end of that thread'? Are we not allowed to ask you questions without you interpreting that as us giving you a hard time?
