From the "fine people" interview:
As I said on -- remember, Saturday -- we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

Even if he did start it, he's not to blame for people joining in. Everyone is responsible for their own actions.

No, he triggered the rioting, attacked a woman and then left.

The looting is wrong, there are always people who use things like this as an opportunity to get free ****, however, a lot of this could be solved by charging the copper for the murder he committed, threatening to shoot and kill black people because they’re angry over injustice is insane

There's not a "start riots button", everyone who got involved decided to do so themselves. He may have threw the first figurative brick, but he's not responsible for the actions of others.

I agree, he can't be allowed to get away with it, and even Pres Trump doesn't want him to.

At the end of the day, what do people want black people to do?
They march peacefully and they’re called intimidating and aggressive
They kneel during the national anthem and they’re called disrespectful ‘sons of bitches’
They talk about racism and they’re called race baiters intent on division
They riot and they’re called thugs

They can’t do anything without being seen as the menace, they’re just expected to sit back and accept that people are allowed to see them as expendable, that’s not acceptable, everyone is allowed to voice disapproval, unless they happen to be black, white people can storm government buildings, abuse police officers and nobody bats an eyelid, but peaceful black protesters are treated like criminals every single time, America has and always will be institutionally racist, people don’t have to accept it though, you corner a demographic for so long, at some point, they’re gonna snap and bite back, you really reap what you sow

Expecting black American to react non violently to police taking their lives with impunity is just funny to me. This has been going on for years and nothing is changing. what are they meant to do these are there lives that are being taken. They have a right to be angry.

armand.kay 29-05-2020 10:08 AM

The people in power have no empathy for black people so peaceful protesting will never work.

How LT hasn’t been banned for blatant racism yet is a TiBB mystery.

If you can't take a bit of light trolling and/or exploring both sides of an issue, then maybe the internet isn't for you :)

Calling him a racist for saying what amounts to "we shouldn't jump to conclusions" is more vile than anything he's said, whether he means it or not.

(the cop is obviously a murderer, and should face justice for it, and it looks like he will)

The thing is, black people in America don't feel protected by authority all the time and when you live like that it really affects you. I am not surprised that people are doing things like rioting and looting because if you already feel like the police are breathing down your neck and looking for one mistake or something they could play off as a wrongdoing and could take you out at any moment it wouldn't feel like a stretch to actually make a scene to make a point since you're feeling like nobody is listening to you anyway.

Should light trolling about white-on-black brutality be accepted as just humour?

What’s subtle or ambiguous about the situation in question?

One of his arguments was that people being arrested often say something like "the handcuffs are too tight" and then attack when they're loosened, so such complaints are seen as white noise, which is why it was overlooked.

Do you have any actual examples of racism?

The likes of Oliver might want to read that if they think LT’s comments are in any way acceptable.

Just for context, Redway cries racist at literally anything, and has been banned for it before.

LT is correct in that many criminals do complain about cuffs being too tight etc etc, however, there are authorised methods of restraint, and closing someones wind pipe is not one of them

At the end of the day micro-aggressions and covert racism are just as bad as being outwardly racist and what’s happening on this thread with LT and anyone who defends him cheapens the forum a lot more than most other things that pass on here. You and anyone else defending him are lone voices at a time like this.

He is not crying racist for no reason, he is stating a fact that someone is racist.

And does that justify murder?

Come and defend this LT. If you have the balls to defend that you should be castrated.

lol I'm not taking anything seriously that thinks "cultural appropriation" is a thing. Nothing "belongs" to any single culture, nor is it offlimits to anyone.
(apart from SS uniforms and similar)

What cheapens the forum is calling people names instead of taking their arguments apart. Use your words to show why LT is wrong.

More name calling. Do you have any actual evidence he's racist?

Saying someone is racist is not name calling. If you can't see the racism then you are the one with the issue x
