We need to stop dividing ourselves

"outlier"
"cac"

Not sure the exception disproves the rule here.

did you guys actually read this shyt?

a meth head robs this dudes house, then says he has drugs (completely innocent citizen) so they send in a no knock swat and kill the dude because he grabbed his shotgun . THEN search the house for 44 hours to try to find something that would justfy seizing his house

just told both senators and the governor to go fukk themselves if they dont prosecute over this shyt. this might be the worst one of these stories i ever heard

This proves what i said in another thread a few months back. its all nice to say "arm yourselves" but at the same token. unless you got what they got and are ready to bust on site. it wont matter. dude had a gun. still got his wig pushed back. thats because he wasnt as quick on the draw as the swatt team. So lessons learned. dont pop off about arming citizens unless they are ready to bust first. until then. shhhhhh

While race is a huge factor, the umbrella that shades this whole thing is militarized police forces with a penchant for having a shoot first ask second attitude...and even that umbrella rests under a class-ism umbrella.
to steal a line from immortal tech,

I have more in common with most working and middle-class white people than I do with most rich black and Latino people. As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking, while these bougie Mother-fukkers ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.

we can try to appeal to blue collar white people all we want, that does not make up for the fact that there is a disproportionate level of aggression used against blacks and latinos and many of the poorest whites like it that way. we shouldnt have to inflate the incidents of white casualties of the drug war in order to get them to see the light. the merits of our arguments should be enough...that is if they are not cacing

but i seriously do understand the impulse of minorities to play this "stop separating ourselves" route. the full spectrum of white supremacy is exhausting, and the reality that we will not see it die in our own lifetimes is depressing. the fact that large numbers of white people subscribe to it, regardless of how little it may be paying off for them is saddening, and furthermore, the reality that our children will have to deal with it is too much for some people to bear, but i am not going to sit here and act like this is something that all communities deal with in anything approaching the same numbers. sorry, breh.
