No Justice For Eric Garner an honest broker

It does seem to have a backlash effect about it. Did you read that article last week about police brutality as white rage backlash to black advances in society? Very interesting.

 

No shit

I still remember this song a white girl would sing to me whenever a fight broke out between blacks and whites

I'll keep it short but it included 'fight, fight a n----- and a white! If the white don't win, we all jump in'

Racial intimidation was a motherfucker in northeast philadelphia

But..I never used it as an excuse to give up...shit just made me grind harder

 

Then there were the slavery themed songs that they used to sing to me....or the requests for me to coon it up and make monkey faces for them

No...this wasn't 1960 either

 

Damn, are you sure you're not from St. Louis? Lol

 

Nope

Philadelphia has a nice little racist history, just like any other major city in America

One of my moms bf was beat down to a pulp a few blocks from where we lived by a group of white guys

Brotherly love my ass

 

Damn. That's some straight old school 1970's back when I was in elementary school shit right there. Didn't know kids still broke that shit out past the 70's. :smt104

 

Uh yeah...who do you think they learned their hate from

I considered myself to be a good kid too.....I definitely tried to assimilate but in the end, it didn't matter

The social exclusion was real and the intimidation factor was overwhelming at times, because u didn't have too many others who looked like you

But...many black parents sent their kids to white schools, because of the belief that they were better staffed and funded compared to black schools

 

That's effed up.

Cue John Cougar's "Pink Houses"... "Ain't that America, for you and me, ain't that America, something to see..."

 

I definitely wouldn't doubt it

The beauty of the women here with mixed kids, is that they can really relate to what we go/went through. You guys are way down the rabbit hole with us. Much love

I was lucky in that all of my experiences were verbal. I never had someone physically try to beat me down over race, but the threat was real because it did happen to others.

Then you factor in systemic racism and it's like 'what the fuck'

 

I'm not surprised in the least that people are passing on whatever racial ignorance they may have to their kids, just surprised that that particular little chat is still alive and kicking since the last time I actually heard it was in elementary school. Ignorant asses I did and have encountered since found more creative ways to put out the same sentiment.

 

Where do you think I got my line from :-o

 

Excellent quote.

Yeah, I was surprised that it made it out of the early 80s intact.

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same

It's nice to see the chants are universally applied in any city tho

Must be in some guidebook passed down from generation to generation

 

The uprising is upon us brother and sisters

 

Slavery is coming back in 2015 because according to Clive bundy, blacks were safer then

....do you pass the brown bag test

 

If that brown is pitch black lol

 

I would say Eric Garner's family have a case to sue the city of New York for millions. I would like to know more about the role of that black woman in the background who was in charge of that group of police who murdered Mr. Garner. The media will not touch it.

 

NO ONE WILL TOUCH THAT

It wouldn't fit the narrative that white cops are evil racists and the only ones bringing down the black community

Which is why more and more people are saying that the police culture needs to change
