Stan Van Farrakhan Strikes Again

[LordTaskForce]

He has a point. But when you look at it on a global perspective its even worse. Road side bombs in iraq and afghanistan kill dozens of people every week and you barely hear anything about it. But people sure seem care about human welfare when something happens in the states. I'm all for patriotism, but its pretty disgusting seeing people post statuses, tweets about this as if they really care.

Basically. Stan isnt wrong but very few people who will cosign him in this thread care about little kids in the middle east getting blown up so its a little hypocritical.

stop c00ning..

numerous people get shot at single barbecue events in every hood every summer..those aren't considered tragedies..thats his point, and if you werent a white troll you would know this

Yeah but keep it real, if every shooting in the black community were getting attention like that a lot of people would complain that they only focus on the "negative" when it comes to black people. As a matter of fact, people do that now.

Be careful what you wish for.

And you wonder why they won't let his ass work on TV. He better be glad Stern hasn't put a hit out on his ass yet. He just spit that raw uncut.

I love Van Gundy, and i appreciate his efforts to champion social equality more than anyone, but this is a horribly misguided statement at best. To complain that random shootings arent treated on equal footing as an act of terror at one of the more famous sporting events this country has to offer, is illogical and ridiculous. Shoehorning race into this just makes it worse, and almost comes across as if hes mocking his overall point because the comparison is so messy.

If everybody said he was wrong you would say he was right fukk outta here. You think you a special little unicorn but nope your just a unic00n that wants to be different but your trying to hard. Do something worthy instead of trying to argue that water isnt wet maybe it would be more convincing and maybe just maybe you could reach that unicorn status you hope for.

stop c00ning..

He not c00ning dude is just a contrarian thats his fukking shtick. No matter what subject it is he has the opposing view damn near everytime. Dude must have had dreams of being a lawyer or on the debate team but couldn't hack it so he comes on the Coli like with that bullshyt.

no wonder Smallville hated this guy... Hardworking, perfectionist, and honest with his thoughts. All things Smallivlle ain't....

 

[GetInTheTruck]

What are you basing this on?

The attitudes and opinions I see displayed on the coli on a regular basis. Not everybody, but a sizable amount of people could care less about what "other" people are going through. Can't expect white people in power to be any different.

 

[Won Won]

Again, his point is absolutely just when it comes to the value the media places on the lives of different races, but this is just a stupid time to bring that up. There are literally a million better examples of this phenomena. Not an act of terror at a major sporting event.

Pretty reasonable post, but it went against the thread's grain, so...

little kids getting shot in a city like chicago aren't usually the targets, its often stray bullets meant for someone else that gets them.
what happened at boston wasn't an "accident" that shyt was there to kill whoever was in the vicinity. pink skinned irish, asians, blacks, indians, kids, old ppl. how is it even comparable.. and the tragedy in boston isnt because kid(s) died it's because it was a terrorist act

and of course something that happens in the US will affect us more than something that happens abroad. the same way if someone at your job was murdered compared to someone who works at a peanut butter factory in alaska, or if someone in your family got shanked vs a mall employee in idaho getting shanked. it hits closer to home, common sense dictates things that are closer to us will have a bigger impact than things that we rarely see or experience.

unless y'all wana argue that people in iraq and afghanistan are "wrong" for feeling worse about their roadside bombs/killings than they do about what happened in boston. i wouldn't expect families in afghanistan to feel equally as bad about what happened in boston, so who could really expect ppl in the US to feel the same about things that happen across the world
