You are forgiven. And in return, please forgive me for thinking you were an individual who could discuss this topic with an open mind and with logic instead of the emotional baggage associated with devotion to protecting our system of racial disparity. Leave it to a black woman with no confidence that her excuses for the dominant community would be recognized for something other than the unfounded excuses that they are to say that it is inappropriate to compare a black sniper who preyed on mostly white people to a white sniper who preyed mostly on black men and the disparity between their two forms of justice that they received. Leave it to someone like you to say that it is more appropriate to compare a black sniper who killed ten people to a white bomber who attacked a federal building and killed one hundred sixty eight people and injured another four hundred fifty. My apologies if I didn’t recognize any logic in your reasoning. Maybe if your reasoning was logical and wasn’t just something you pulled out your ass you would have had a little more confidence in your defense of it. Good luck with your future trollings. I’m sure you are bound to find a nice, safe site where your views are much more welcome.

Peace

Hopefully the State gets this done soon.

Excellently written post!

But if you see my point, then my point is clear. Whether you see black people as apples and white people as oranges the simple fact of the matter is that there is a discrepancy between the conviction of white man that preys primarily on black people and a black man that preys on predominantly white people. We can try and point to different venues of prosecution as a factor in the discrepancy, but the fact of the matter is that whenever we have a disparity more often than not black people are on the shitty end of any comparison with white people.

The same holds true when John Horn was convicted of killing two minority men in Texas that were burglarizing his neighbor’s house. He tells the operator he’s going to kill them and goes outside with his shotgun and keeps his word. His defense was that he was scared for his life. But at the same time, John White is convicted for killing a drunk white teenager, one of many, who is threatening the White family and actually reaches at John White while Mr. White is holding a gun trying to protect his family. Well Joe Horn was in Texas while John White was in New York so it’s an unfair comparison.

What’s unfair is that people always look for the silver lining in these disparities that seem to always negatively impact people in the black community.

I think a better comparison would be to see if there is a correlation between race and speed of execution within states that have, or had, the death penalty, like Texas or Florida. Those results would be more relevant and more revealing.

It didn’t take long for the Oklahoma City bomber to be put to death, either, and he was also a white racist. Missouri is just either excruciatingly slow, or simply uninterested in carrying out justice. Either way, they need to go on and give Franklin what’s due him.

The universe I live in doesn’t respond very readily to my evil wishes, or to where I put my purse, or any other ritual I might try.

I’m not sure which view of reality is more comforting.

But how do you know that the landlord’s intentions weren’t malicious? Do you know her? And I don’t know about you but paying an extra two hundred fifty dollars a month isn’t convenient at all.

Seems to me the “curse” should have been on the people at the organization that never managed to get your address correct so it would go to your mailbox,or the post office who cant get things right, or the mailman not the woman who although she was absolutely not obligated in any way to do so helped you with your mail for weeks and weeks.

Of all those people, it seems the landlady was the only one whose actions were meant to make your life MORE not less convenient.

I guess it depends on the club you’re referring to. I’m sure the Boy Scouts Club of America, as an organization created by and fully embraced by the dominant community, that has a number of members who have gone on to do some great things, would disagree.

The word ‘alafia’ probably has its root meaning in Hausa phrase ‘lafia la’ which means peace be unto you. The Yoruba, just like many African people are influenced by other people they come across. Buredi in Yoruba is the English name for bread. More words like that can be found in Yoruba.
