Ranting on Cinncinnati and Racism

Oh my I think we're back in the 60's again. I just found out about these Cincinnati riots and I'm absolutely stunned and disgusted. I'm disgusted that there are still criminals and I'm disgusted that there are still biased cops. I'm digusted because everytime I begin to go on with life and my experiment to see if the American dream is really possible for blacks, something reminds that it's just that, a dream.

My first reaction was okay this guy has commited 14 misdemeanors he had it coming. Then I began to read on. Keep in mind I consider myself to be a very logical person and despite the racist history of this country I will look at a situation like this as impartial as possible. First read this snippet of the article:

The chaos in Ohio began following the shooting death last Saturday of Timothy Thomas, a 19-year-old sought on 14 misdemeanor arrest warrants. It was the 15th time a black crime suspect has been killed by Cincinnati police since 1995 -- a period during which no white suspects were killed. Cincinnati's population of more than 300,000 is about 43 percent black. Read the whole article here My first question was after reading about no white suspects being killed was: Were there any white suspects during this time period? Second, third, fourth... If there were white suspects during this time period, is it possible that when approached by authorities they surrendered without a fight? If there were any white suspects were any of them ever armed when being approached by authorities? If so, did they un-arm themselves at the requests of the authorities? Did any of the black suspects that were murdered by the authorities surrender without a fight? Were all of these suspects armed? You get the idea of how my mind works? Are you ready for my conclusion? America is still a bunch of racist fools This cop is going to get off because of this very reason Nobody should be committing crimes, because then we wouldn't have stupid sh*t like this happening Racist cops will have to find more covert ways to aggravate us It Takes Two to Tango

I live by the belief that I know if I get caught, my black ass is getting the maximum;therefore, my black ass is not going to commit any crimes or any misdemeanors. This is something I wish I could instill in others. I would like to see what happens in an America where no black people commit crimes, will we still have murders of crime suspects that pick up their wallets? I think not.

Unfortunately not everyone sees things my way. Some will cry but a white guy did the same thing last week and he got off. I reply if you know that this society is racist and that blacks tend to get the maximum punishment more often, then why do it? Is it really worth it? We don't need more criminals. What we ,black people, need are more physicists, surgeons, linguists, mathematicians, biologists, zoologists, etc. I know there are many out there but why not have more? Besides, isn't chaos theory or this new thing with human fat providing stem cells more interesting?

My theory is if you were worrying about how to combat certain bacteria or which insects should have their genome sequenced then you wouldn't have any problem with the RACIST PIGS we call cops today. Also, it's harder to argue your case if you have commited some crime before. {I'm not a cop hater, the ones in my town have saved my life and sanity quite a few times. It's the guys that do absolutely outright racist crap that get on my nerves.}

Oh yeah and why screw up your own neigborhoods? Why not bomb police stations? Why not look for every politician's home? Why not screw up the cop's home that did this? Apparently, these people did not learn from the Rodney King incident and most of them are out to get friggin' sneakers. Why the hell do you need sneakers if you're going to jail? Just how important are those sneakers when you realize that you're being murdered for skin color. Do they realize how much more stupid they look after reading that they looted mostly sneaker outlets while looting their own neighborhoods? I'm not suggesting this, but it seems absolutely stupid and illogical to loot up your own black neighborhood when you're angry about white on black crime. Hello? Is there anybody home?

Racism is here to stay. I'm no longer trying to stop it. People seem to only care when it happens to them. No one realizes the amazing achievements that we could make as the common people (non-government) of the U.S. if we were to go suddenly colorblind and start brainstorming on things we want changed around here. That's why I believe the United State's chief industry is Racism. While we're busying forming hate groups and discussing the achievements or lack of for each respective race, our taxes get higher and higher, the work day gets longer and longer...

I'm waiting America,
I'm waiting to exhale,
please let me know when it is convenient for you so I can begin to breathe
