President Woodrow Wilson (D) on Birth of A Nation (the first motion picture screened at the White House): "It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true".

Not all blacks are stupid.

-—That perverse distortion was used to justify myriad lynchings of Black men, women and children during the nation’s Jim Crow decades ——

Wow... These democrat KKK thugs hung children too....and republicans....

[Bogey78O]

This journalist is intent on expressing his belief that black people are incapable of physical violence apparently.

If he feels as such, I’d like to see him put up money on his tacit claim that an unarmed black man has never beat a person to death with their bare hands.

He won’t of course because he makes money off of writing what ignorant racist people want to read and he’s not paid to write factual intelligent articles.

Micheal Brown was a misunderstood lad
He was just turning his life around
and was going to Church
and was only trying to embrace the police officer
after he embraced the store employee
and the Swisher Sweets fell into his hands, praise God !!
and he wasn't trying to tackle the police officer ,or knock him off his feet ,
but wanted to grant him a good CHristian fellowship hug ,
but , it was misunderstood as an assualt (3rd for the day )
and the unarmed lad was fatally shot,
before he attended the very fist class in air-conditioning
although the 'college' will not confirm his admission or involvement
poor Micheal is a misuderstood "gentle giant" with only 50 FEDGovt. agents to proove his innocence.
The world is upside-down, with only Parks and Crump to protect his innocence with their "social engineer"
.. and pigs will fly on a magic carpet after being declared "halal" !

Michael Brown’s size only mattered to the unlucky who were on the other end of his assault.

... the slimers have simplified their defense of Brown’s killing. He was not an 18-year-old teenager, but a man-sized Black male 6’4” tall and well over 250 pounds was a threat to public safety. In other words: a “thug” — and therefore someone whom any White person should be able to execute with impunity.

? No, he apparently assaulted a police officer and was reportedly attempting to do so a second time when he was shot.

No one of sane mind has said "any White person should be able to execute" anyone with impunity. No one.

Straw man arguments, isn't that what this is called?

By the way, how many black people were killed by other black people this weekend in Chicago? With impunity?

[CitizenUSA]

No. Michael Brown’s size only became relevant after some claimed he was a gentle giant, with the emphasis on gentle. If Michael Brown charged the police as some claim, then his size is certainly relevant. We know Michael was unarmed. That’s not disputed, but would a charging unarmed giant be a greater threat than a smaller person? I think so, and if the policeman reasonably feared for his life, he’s allowed to defend himself.

Of course I don’t know what’s true or not about this shooting. I hope our legal system is able to wade through the nonsense and reach a just conclusion. Some people will likely be disgruntled with the result regardless, but what’s better? Do we really want to settle these cases in the streets? I hope not.

Alternate Reality post of the day.

[maddog55]

....the largely overt assertion that he deserved to be killed.

....he deserved to be killed.

Fixed.

[JudyinCanada]

Ha! They’re the ones who pointed out that he was a giant! We just took issue with the adjective “gentle”.

[Zakeet]

You Freepers should back off ... cause white racist pathology can’t obscure this blunt fact: police officer Darren Wilson, who was armed, shot to death Michael Brown, who was unarmed, from a distance of more than 30 feet ... after the white racist cop purposely stepped in front of the swinging hands of St. Swisher of Sweets ... after the poor unfortunate lad was forced to take the supplies he needed to begin his college studies from a convenience store without payment ... because white racists failed to provide him with enough money otherwise!

[ilovesarah2012]

How disingenuous to refer to Brown as “unarmed” if he was indeed trying to get the officer’s gun. Same with St. Trayvon.

[wiggen]

this is the focal point where his entire rant falls apart.
“Stein’s and Chavez’s primary intent is to assert that Michael Brown and Darren Wilson, the police officer were equally armed — that Brown’s size and weight was a weapon as equal in its ability to cause harm as the bullets Darren Wilson carried in his gun and fired at Brown from a distance of more than thirty feet.”
To state 2 people are armed does not equate to being equally armed any more than me having money and Warren Buffett having money. We may both have it but not in equal amounts. Either the author is simply playing the race game fro profit or he’s ignorant for making that statement.

[kenmcg]

If your in a brawl and the other guys weighs 100 lbs. more than you, or is six inches taller, size could matter. Being a strong armed robber or murderer does matter.

[drpix]

The author uses the phrase "perverse distortion." He needs to be schooled on its meaning. Here is the "innocent" Michael Brown in his own words and photos from his Instagram account profile (LINK):

"MY HANDS MY AMMUNITION" & "I'M OUT HERE TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINES {sic}"

The thing that mystifies me the most is the so called victims the race baiters chose to make a stand on. Any reasonable person who just considers the facts in these cases can see that Travon Martin and Michael Brown were, to say the least, were no angels. Thugish is a much better description and yet they are put out there as innocent victims. Originally Michael browns parents tried to say he was a great kid on his way to college....the infamous video lay waste to that scenario. If..there are truly innocent black children being routinely killed why aren't they ever the ones held up as example. Martin and Brown appear to be thuggish bullies who tried their bully tactics once to often and paid for it with their lives!!!

[Mister Da]

In every argument this author makes, racism is his guiding light. He is so racially biased he needs to be ignored.

IMO, black Americans are overwhelmingly more racist than whites.
