That should be a two way street. Libs have turned it into a dead end.
“Until White America looks at Tamir Rice and sees their own children, there will be no racial justice in the U.S.”
Much of “White America” raises their children so they in no way resemble Tamir Rice. We pay law enforcement to keep Tamir Rice at arm’s length.
Kids playing with gunz of any type (real or fake) away from home parental unit direct supervision is a BAD idea.
not a writer, but a professional race victim apologist and PC sanctioned racist
Of course there was. You can’t point a toy gun at a person in a public place. That was the police call. toy or not. Its a felony. Aggravated menacing. Where they hell are you from? Zimbabwe?
I think that when America looks at Tamir Rice and sees their own children, we will have the economic activity and life expectancy of Bangladesh, or some other impoverished hell-hole.

Salon loves hiring these no-name “journalists” to regurgitate far left propaganda
Hey chump, “white America” suffers alot ..especially at the hands of your people
It’s called removing the log from your own eye, idiot
So just STHU
Michael Brown attacked a police officer and tried to take his weapon.
I believe it was an Airsoft with the orange end cap removed. That would be identical to an actual weapon.
Seems like there are still a few opportunities for Darwinian selection to take place...
Pulling a toy gun on a cop is just one such opportunity.
Looks like suicide by cop.
I wish people would stop giving them links. We are driving some of their internet activity (and therefore enriching/empowering them) with this sort of click-bait crap.
What makes me "uncomfortable" is that the political hacks and agitators running the #BLM don't even TRY to find or create black "victims" who are even slightly sympathetic. Perhaps none exist. Everyone thrust forward by Obama's Red Guards for agitation purposes has been a thief, druggie, gang-banger or thug. And the most "uncomfortable" thing of all is clowns like Salon don't even deny it.
Racism won’t end until blacks get their act together and stop acting uncivilized. It is what it is. You can’’t behave as a group like that and expect people not to have an opposite reaction. Darren Wilson should have been indicted? Laughable. This racist POS couldn’t even spell “justice’ let alone tell anyone else what it is.
GTH loser
So... you somehow think that, the farther away the cops were, the less realistic that gun would have looked?
Seriously?
Is that what you're saying???
Sorry, but the author has some valid points... the fact anyone , and more than a few here, is arguing that a 12 year old playing with a toy gun, which was in his pants, when cops arrived only to shoot him in the gut 2 seconds later, was somehow the child’s fault, there is little hope for this world.
The abject willingness of some people to think this was somehow anything but a tragedy on every level, and that somehow the kids actions led to his death is drek and insanity.
I have no issue when a little thug gets his just deserts, but that is not what this was, the reaction by some here trying to spin it as it was, or present it as it was, is flagrant racism, and its disgusting.
If this child had been a blond haired blue eyed little girl, with everything else being the same, no way would these people be trying to twist themselves into knots portraying this as anything but a complete and total outrage for all of society.
How screwed up a society has to be, that it has anyone in it, arguing that 12 year old with a toy gun deserved to wind up dead 2 seconds after cops arrived, while the toy was in his pants is just unfathomable, yet I have had to spend the better part of the last 2 days calling out foolish people on here for presenting such insanity.
The flagrant racism on display by some on this topic is just repugnant. Those espousing it should be called out for it. There is no argument in the world that can be put forward that a 12 year old boy playing with a toy gun deserved to get a bullet to the gut 2 seconds after the cops showed up, especially when the toy was in his pants.
This situation was handled wrong by every adult involved, PERIOD! The Cop, the Dispatcher, the guy who called the cops in the first place, any adult that was in the park when the kid was playing before the cop was called, all of it, and yet there are people here, and elsewhere trying to put forth an argument that this kid somehow contributed to his own death because he acted like a kid.
It’s INSANE! and its exactly the kind of behavior that lets those on the left claim those on the right are nothing but racists! Because the level of stuff I’ve seen in the last 2 days on here by some is unmitigated racism, and because those folks are on here espousing that crap, everyone on the right will once again get tagged for the actions of them.
After 20+ years on this site, I have watch this site go from a place where good intellectual conversation was the norm, with internet nonsense the exception, to internet nonsense the norm and intellectual discussion next to impossible to find.
If you think this kid deserved to die, because of any actions he took or did not take, then you are certifiably insane.
It wasn’t white people who took the orange off the end of tamir’s gun, and it wasn’t white people who taught him such a lack of respect for cops, and who utterly failed to give him a lick of common sense.
And I did teach my kids not to knock over a convenience store then strut down the centerline of a road higher than Jerry Garcia, mouthing off to cops.
Tamir Rice had a toy gun modified to look real. The real looking gun was used to scare people in a public setting.
And you want the cops to wait around farther back to see how many people get killed first?
Sadly, you see some of that right here on FreeRepublic from time to time.
Yes. But that "deep subconcious belief" is made manifest by the actions and attitudes that black people themselves project on a daily basis.
