May entertain some of yall on a Tuesday since it ain't time for the club to go up yet
quick backstory: White mother of my wife's friend posted some pro cop nonsense on FB
I responded a few times asking what is the purpose of banging the 'not all cops are bad' drum while they killing nikkas without consequence and she deleted the posts sent me this nonsense (she refers about a separate post I made a day later about white folks ignoring racism which had nothing to do with our convo since I didn't even mention race). These white folks love playing the victim
Oh, and this broad's husband got a separate family in the city with a woman and 2 outside kids she ain't know about until last year (they been married like 20 years).

However, I feel you missed the whole point of my post, which was to highlight some of the positive as we see enough of the negative. We have a generation of young people growing up to hate law enforcement because all they see on social media and the news is the bad and the ugly. Sensationalism sells and the media knows it.
I in no way, am burying my head to racism. To suggest I was when you don’t really know me or my family’s history was an unfair comment and an insult to my family. Almost 30 years ago when I choose to date and ultimately marry a black man from the south and IN the south, I willingly choose to lay down my “white privilege” and pick up the cross of racism. () I have interracial children that have faced battles that you wouldn’t understand as they receive hate from both sides. I would suffice it to say that I and my family have probably encountered more direct racism then you ever have(
). Have you ever walked into a restaurant and been refused service? Pulled up to a gas station and had someone walk to the door with a shot gun to “encourage” you to go elsewhere? Went to church and had someone walk up to you with an address for another church and tell you they think you’d be more comfortable there? How about getting pushed around in a club simply because of who you’ve walked in with? I’ve been called names that at the time, I didn’t even know what they meant. Even my wedding day, none of my husband’s family were present. And these were all things that happen to me or when my husband and I were together. And the list goes on and on!
I haven't even mentioned the things that [her husband] or my children have encountered. So, to suggest I don’t understand or am burying my head to racism is just plain wrong.
In spite of all of that, I choose to highlight the positive and will continue to do so. I encourage and make changes where ever and whenever I can. But, I still stand firm on the fact that we see way too much negativity and hate in social media and I won’t contribute to it.
You bring up the systematic issues (and there are issues), the bad cops that have gotten over (in your opinion) but how many of those court cases have you fully researched? Have you read the court transcripts? Or are you simply repeating what you've heard. Again, those cases are reported exactly how the media wants to portray them. I’m not saying there aren’t cases that have clearly been handled wrongly, there are. But those issues aren’t going to be solved on Facebook. If you want to make a difference, become a police officer and make change from the inside. smile emoticon
