I’m delighted to hear that things went well and that you weren’t treated to the same level of ‘hospitality’ that many others have suffered in similar circumstances.
I've heard other FReepers say that Tulsa is quite a nice city. Apparently the crime is fairly well contained in specific areas....I will be sure to bear that in mind if I come to visit :-)
I thought the mantra was, “No justice, no peace.”
Police bringing suspected murderer to justice get assaulted! And Blacks wonder why there are so many of them in jail.
Running away is no solution. Sixty years of white flight has proven that.
When we left the garage that morning, we told the boss, “Reginald Denny doesn’t ride in this truck. One way or another, even at the cost of body parts hanging on the grille, this truck will be back this afternoon.” Fortunately, it never came to that.
right NaPPY Hair.
Sharpton denounce the crowd action yet????? Of did he denounce as racist the capture of this murderer?
Just fence it off and let em at it.
Self appointed “community leaders?”
Although I'm an EMT, I don't work areas like that but I have heard many horror stories of EMS workers who do. Wearing body armor is common, as is being threatened or shot at when they respond to 'certain areas'.
Gang-bangers don't want you helping the person they just shot, they want him to die.
There is definitely an underbelly of society that thoughtful people need to avoid at all costs. It's not racism, it's self-preservation.
LOL
I suppose that when a particular segment of society spends much of their time applying graffiti to schools and breaking the windows and stealing the contents as opposed to attending and learning there, it becomes difficult to put two and two together.
Adding armor plating to the stoatmobile seems to be something worth considering, unfortunately.
The above poster is correct. It is about “the man”. Or the struggle against “the man”. Unfourtunately there are too many Blacks who believe in it. Geraldo Rivera is one who joined the Blacks who where “down for the struggle.”
Yep, that wouldn't look too good on a resume.
Long as no one got called a nappy headed ho.
In today’s Tulsa World, there are 17 full pages of help wanted ads....
And the big front page story is “Report scolds 2 area gun shops” and quotes the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
I’m not kidding, folks.
You hit the nail right on the head. In the black community at large (though I’m sure there are many blacks who are ashamed of this fact) you will be supported, no matter what your crime, simply because you’re black.
Yes, and being the 'hood champ at 'draining a forty', impregnating various women, none of whom are beholden unto you via the traditions of marriage, as well as your skills at breaking-and entering a domicile or place of business whose ownership paperwork does not include your own name also fails to gain the respect of most prospective employers, last time I checked..
It's racism on the employers' part, pure and simple.
Or maybe it’s the Colt 40 and the bottom of the gene pool...and the state support that enables the latter to enjoy the former.
Every time I drive by that place, I feel so depressed about the future of the human race that I can barely make it to the next block.
That was what was truly strange, since at any moment, they themselves could have been in that same position.
When I lived in New York, one of my friends in the office was a black woman who lived in Harlem and whose sister was a nurse at Harlem General. Her sister had to deal with all the garbage that was brought in after gang shoot-outs, etc. One time, she had a lightly injured gang banger on a stretcher cussing her out because he wanted a glass of water while she was dealing with somebody who had a gut wound. When she went by him, she leaned down and hissed in his ear, "I hope you die." He didn't, for better or for worse, but it made her feel soooo good to say this!
