Have U Noticed................

Well i was watching the news, and i just noticed something that ive been observing for a very long time.

When a crime was committed by a black, hispanic, or asian person, they ALWAYS show their pic

When crime was committed by a white person, they ALMOST NEVER show their pic, and when their pic WAS shown, it would have some connection to a black, hispanic, or asian person.

Does this seem suspicious to anyone else.

 

Yeah....
I've noticed that too my man. :cry:

It's not new however.

 

I don't know. I've seen plenty of pics of white people who have commited crimes too.. maybe it depends on what geographic area you are in?

 

well im in Illinois

 

I'm not saying that the media does not show white criminals...
There seems to be more emphasis on the negative parts of black people.

 

*nods head, sagely*

 

I don't disagree with you there.

I was commenting to this comment by 13wisdom

 

hmmm, k, i guess ur right but its still wrong

 

13
ARE YOU REALLY 13???

 

ya, didnt ya know buddy
gonna be 14 in October

 

When I called you a 13 year old wiseguy...
It was a joke!!!

You seem really cool and all but I don't think you need to be here.

I think you need to be 18 or older.

After this post I won't be replying to you anymore.

Again you seem like a cool young brother but this is a site for us old people!!!!

Cool?

 

cool, but i wanna stay, pkz don't kick me out

 

Why do you think this site is meant for people 18 or older designer?? If he stays out of the sex section, i think he'll survive. :wink:

 

I don't think that this little bit of sex talk in the sex section is going to kill him either - as long as he promises not to forget to strap a condom over his modem ... :lol: :lol:

 

:lol: @ Silver

i like the kid. But nahh.....something is fishy here...no way you're 13 ! :shock:

from what he posts in the sex section i have a feeling its not a novelty or surprise to his young mind anyway. and btw, alessandra is 17 too.

Age is nothing but a number? :lol:

i still can't believe you're 13 hmmmm.......... :roll:

 

I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 or over...

I agree that age is just a number but there are some things and certian places that young people should not be no matter how advanced they are in their thinking.
That's just the moral side.

There are the legal issues that come about too.....

 

well...........ok :cry:

 

I don't think it'll hurt much for him to be in here, after all, he seems mature enough to handle the discussions that go on in here...

and, I see white criminals on the local news all the time, but just like some of you have already taken to notice, they don't get as much 'air time' if you catch my drift.

 

yeah, that was my point. Because I have co admin'd a site, I know there are legal ramifications involving minors to an owner. If someone lies about their age, then it isn't an owners fault, but if a member publicly admits to being underage.. well.. now they become responsible for that knowledge.

yeah.. I kind of think he is more than 13 too...

probably a troll....

if not

however... IMHO there is a huge difference between 13 and 17...

 

"From the mouths of babes..."

Well as a triannual poster, I'm encouraged by 13's presence. You seem to be a very intelligent and intuned young man. With all the media hype about today's youth being lost it's good to see that at least one youngster not only has an opinion but isn't afraid to share it. It also gives me hope that his generation is open to IR dating. It suggests that they identify themselves as individuals not their racial backgrounds.

I would caution you 13 Wisdom on your posts... When I read the original post about the media's unequal exposure of minority crimes and white crimes, I saw it to be a bit juvenile.

PLEASE HEAR ME OUT YOUNG BROTHER!! :!:

I don't mean any disrespect. As a teacher, I hold accountability as one of the greatest virtues a person can possess. If you say it or write it you have to do more than stand behind your words. You have to stand behind the consequences of your words as well. Many people boast that they are men or women of their words but rarely do they stick around for the fallout that their words create.

We all know of the inconsistencies of media hype, pointing them out may give the perception that you are what I like to call an "Injustice Seeker" or finder of "Hidden Racism." I agree that healthy conversation about the world around us can create awareness and understanding, but it also can create animosity and hurt feelings.

When you notice an incident that can be perceived as racist or biased, look at all the facts and commonalities. Is it racist? Is it ignorance? Perception is the reality of the perceiver. Generalites like, "Have you ever noticed..." usually are a result of perception. On the other hand, actual events such as, "What do you think of this situation..." promote thought and theory.

I say keep posting. We can all learn something from one another regardless of age. I believe that age is more than a number, it's an indication of your ability to handle the experiences that life has handed you thus far.

I do, however, agree that you should stay out of the sex talk forums!!

Just my 2 Lincolns.
