there were three cops holding the deceased down, four in total. Why is this a white guy thing now instead of a cops thing? One suggested rolling him on his side when he complained about breathing but nobody did anything, not even after he went limp. Who called the ambulance, why did it beat EMS to the scene, and why was the call to EMS received 5 minutes after there was no breathing observed? Charge all three or all four. It’s dishonest to single just one out.

In his position - a rich millionaire? Sure - write me a check so I can be as rich as you so I can get over my white privilege.

Given the rampant alcoholism and substance abuse in the sleazy world of show biz it’s amazing any of the overpaid mannequins can stand at all.

Why is his porn relevant?

And why would you refer to him with such disrespect?

Jamie Foxx, like most clueless celebrities should learn that many white families do stand in your shoes. Twice as many white people are shot dead by police every year as blacks.

”Yep, only blacks are killed by police (rolling eyes)“

It’s pretty easy to avoid being killed by the police. Step 1: Don’t commit crimes.

Blacks are a bit nutty in that at 13% of the population they believe they should be the tail the wags the dog. They already dominate popular music, much of pop culture, football, basketball.

The average person overseas, looking at US media, movies, music thinks Blacks are 50% of the American population.

As a white person I absolutely refuse to put myself in your position.

I dont write bad checks or pass counterfeit money (aka: stealing). I am not on food stamps or public assistance of any kind. I refuse to live stacked like cord wood amoungst thousands of other humans of any color. I obey orders given to me by the police. I dont use illegal drugs or try to bait the police into confrontation because I dont want anything more to do with the Jack Boots than you do, only you are too stupid to comprehend that. You position is non sustainable at its core and I refuse to assume it with you.

Sorry Jameee, If I did that, we’d both be wrong.

Would it be too much to ask for them to put in our shoes for a while ?

FBI stats show that blacks commit murders far more often...on a population-adjusted basis...than do whites.

I’d say that Step 1 in avoiding being killed by the police is “if you’re confronted in any way by the police don’t run,don’t resist and don’t say or do anything that might suggest that you’re a threat to anyone”.

So Jamie, how do you explain the thousands of hard-working successful Blacks who live a nice life, have a good job and family, and are respected in their job and community? Democrats have worked hard to keep Blacks subservient. Fortunately these thousands didn’t buy into that ploy.

Before he talks about putting “ourselves” in “their” position, he ought to look at the statistics concerning black on white crime.

Another guy who speaks af “us” and “you” and then accuses others of racism.

I must have slept through all the rioting and mayhem following the black guy beating that old man in the nursing home. And I was so looking forward to looting.

“Put yourself in our shoes”

You mean like when angry whites burned down Minneapolis after the Somali cop shot the White girl dead a while back?

...oh, wait....

....'put yourself in our position'.

OK! Give me your money, but not your fame, I'll take it! I'll see what it's like to be in your position! Hypocrite!
