Heard two white lady's at work say he did take the cigarettes but he don't deserve to be shoot for that
and honestly, this seems to be the consensus around everyone I know(white, black,other)

he was punk(not necessarily a thug, but just a bully ass punk) but he didn't deserve to get shot(based on the facts that we know)

been in corporate america a while breh....i learned 3 things....and i live by them

1. never discuss politics/race (they always wanna ask you something if youre the only black person around)
2. never discuss sports
3. never discuss religion
to be fair though, thats basically the rules for ALL of the corporate world, not just for a certain race.

sports is OK, because most times its just friendly banter. but Religion, politics, and race are very polarizing topics.
get two white dudes talking politics or religion from differeing views and you are bound to have some kind of nonsense as well.

those topics are considered taboo to talk at work. and for good reason.

...really?

Why wouldn't you address the issue with the ignorant instead of venting on an online community? Just asking.
I'm not gonna put words in reincar's mouth

but from my experiences trying to argue with imbeciles and ignroant ppl just makes you an imbecile yourself.

Yet people do it on The Coli all the time.

How are you going to stand up for an issue you believe in if you silence yourself when it matters?

You don't have to argue, but it's important to speak up. I've been in situations where superiors have said stuff I don't agree with, and I make it known (in a tactful manner, of course). Venting online isn't going to make a difference.

yea but there is a time and place to speak up and hold your own...doing it at your workplace is NEVER a good time to do that.
