Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 In Ferguson only three of its 53 police officers are black, but the community is overwhelmingly more black than white. 483 blacks were arrested in town last year but only 36 white. Blacks, who make up less than half of the driving-age population, account for 86 per cent of all traffic stops by police......says it all. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 How many times has this happened now ? Always a black bloke getting done. The cop that shot him didnt even know about the robbery, so a pathetic attempt at smoke and mirrors.I think there is institutionalised racism towards mexicans and hispanics in LA and Orange County area when I was there. Eg queues outside Home Depot and other stores 5 am in the morning , people desperate for work, food etc nearly all were hispanics. Heard some derogatory comments as wellTrayvon Martin wasn't too long ago. It's just ridiculous. Something needs to be done about the police and their power and what they can do exactly. They have too much power and get away with a lot. Why does a small town's police station have such heavy artillery? Yea Mexicans are outside of home Depot and other stores, but they need to work and don't have papers. I'm sure there is racism towards us, but not as much as black people.

Cause I argued that despite the belief that the founding fathers might had, ie illuminati if that's what you believe that it had many Christian themes. And if you cared to see I suggest you read exodus 21 till exodus 23:9Some of the laws implemented by Yahweh are used in the United States laws. If your going to read I suggest reading the NIV translation cause it's modern English not king James version which is so hard to understand due to the outdated language style. That was only a few of the things that you will see why people see it as a Christian nation. Furthermore capitalism is founded in the principal of you reap what you saw. People often said capitalism is American but that foundation is based in Christianity. Then there's the helping needy, which USA corporation are big on doing, but mainly to get a tax break and look moral social responsible....

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ''As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide, we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonisation of historic Palestine.We utterly condemn Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universitiesWe must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean “Never again for anyone”.Hajo Meyer survivor of Auschwitz; The Netherlands, Henri Wajnblum survivor and son of an Auschwitz victim from Lodz, Poland; Belgium, Norbert Hirschhorn refugee of Nazi genocide and grandson of three people who died in the Shoah; London, Suzanne Weiss survived in hiding in France, whose mother died in Auschwitz; Canada, Felicia and Moshe Langer survivors from Germany, Moshe survived five concentration camps, family members were exterminated; Germany, Michael Rice child survivor, son and grandson of survivor; United States and 30 Jewish survivors of the Nazi genocide and 260 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other relatives of survivors CHOULO19 and Mohammed Seif 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBH 283 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Caught on tape ! Hamas firing rockets from hotel.http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/ndtv-exclusive-how-hamas-assembles-and-fires-rockets-571033?pfrom=home-lateststories Why won't the Mainstream media report this?Because it's a bit like reporting about catching somebody on tape firing a slingshot at a fully armed special ops team. These rockets fired out of Palestine have virtually no destructiveness when compared to Israeli airstrikes; nor do they have the ability to strike with the surgical precision that Israeli forces can. Some of these probably end up landing within Gaza - how can homemade shit from a territory with no mineral wealth, trade access or industrial potential to manufacture quality armaments be expected to pose a threat to a nation that is the region's most advanced industrial war machine? Israel possesses a fantastically strong military capacity and has the backing of even more powerful allies. There's no chance Palestine, of all places, genuinely poses a threat to Israel's sovereignty. Sure you get the odd suicide bomber infiltrating Jerusalem and causing some harm but just look at how much Pakistan irritated India in the aftermath of the Taj Hotel attacks and look at the civilized way in which India responded to that. Regional superpowers have no need to fear neighbouring basket case countries. Would the US go balls deep if some Cuban guy shot up Miami? No, they'd just ratchet up the sanctions on Cuba, like a boa constrictor strangling its prey; rather than a wolf savaging away at the carcass of a mouse. Exercising soft power rather than hard power is all it takes to bring those that threaten to upset the status quo and you save a whole bunch of civilian casualties into the bargain.

EBH 283 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's such a ghetto mentality, by the way, to want to absolutely fuck somebody up (as well as everybody who ever knew them) just because they key'd your car - which is the most apt analogy to describe the Gaza situation. Such thinking is supposed to be restricted to working class ethnic minorities in the western world; people that mass media and right wing thinkers routinely condemn as idiots and lazy welfare cheats - but how is it that our leaders think in exactly the same way when they're "better human beings" than the urban poor? Substitute scenarios - thumping on a project junkie because he tried to pay you fake money for his fix is pretty much the same thing as going to war over unsubstantiated rumours of nuclear programmes.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 See the authorities in Ferguson and at Federal level are doing what they always do in these situations, blame the unrest on 'outsiders'. During strikes and pickets in the uk in the 80s, the police blamed the trouble on Libyans on mopeds. Theyre right in a way though, the ' outsiders' are the National Guard.They want the unrest to stop ? Absofuckinglutely simple, try arresting the cop that shot an unarmed kid six times.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Say Thanks to Hamas.They Started to Fire Again. Actually it wasn't Hamas that fired the first rockets, it was a different faction of the resistance.And if you think that 3 rockets that hit absolutely nowhere and didn't even cause any physical damage at all is why the peace talks broke down, then you are being incredibly naive. The peace talks broke down because your government wouldn't agree to the Egypt-US permanent ceasefire terms. The rockets were just used as an excuse. EDIT: NOW Hamas are firing rockets after the air strikes on Gaza like the two rockets that just hit Tel Aviv. hjperdeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
