Some cop shoots a black guy in NYC and the media and civil rights people go fucking crazy how they shouldn't have done it, it was racially biased and all that usual bullshit. But some kid in newark gets arrested and pt in a backseat of a cop car, gets his hands around the front and steals the police car. he takes the police on a high speed chase and a cop following flips his car and dies and when they talk to the friends of this guy they say...."he's not a bad guy" and when the reporter points out he has 3 felony convictions already they respond...."well everyone makes mistakes" and the reporter says nothing?????????? WHAT THE FUCK??? Where's the outrage, the protests, a white al sharpton complaining about black kids acting up and killing our cops? I'm so sick and tired of this double-standard bullshit that lets people, who's race were enslaved a couple of hundred years ago, plenty of time to get over things I'm sure, do whatever the fuck they want and say whatever they want and there be no recourse for the rest of us. You got your 40 acres and a mule, what more do you want? I demand a congressional law that allows us, god's chose people, the right to call a spade a spade, or a nigger or whatever we want to without fear of reprisals, chants of racist or any repercussions whatsofucking ever.

1) The difference in those two instances is that the man who was shot 50 times by the cops (31 by one officer alone) was doing nothing that might have justified his murder. The man who stole the cop car did, is in police custody, and will probably be charge with manslaughter for putting the officer in jeopardy of his life. There's no need for outrage, because he's going to be punished.

2) Black people are not the problem. Criminals are, and if you watch any World's Wildest Police Chases, you'll see more white people stealing cars and potentially harming people than blacks; there might be black and white, but stupid and criminal are adjectives that go beyond color.

3) The "40 Acres and a Mule" was a military order issued during the Civil War by General Sherman, as a quick remedy for the thousands of black refugees created by his terrorizing March to the Sea, which resulted in slave owners abandoning their plantations and basically creating a human catastrophe. The order only affected people in the coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The order also only lasted for several months, when it was revoked by the Commander in Chief, Andrew Johnson. On top of that, the land was returned to its original owners, and the black men were out on their ass. So, no, they did not get their 40 acres and a mule.
