Someone's dog left a big pile on the street. Ran over it. Now there's flattened dog pile on my tire.

You are obviously calling for protestors that block streets to be run over.

Dogpile: When it seems that a single individual is hammered on by a group. Typically different arguments are brought forth with the overall objective to discredit the opponent. In certain venues it is considering bullying...typically 5th or 6th grade.

Personally, I still haven't figured out why these players are kneeling in protest when I generally view kneeling as an act of submission. But that's just me. I also don't think I'm going to find the answer to my question here as many here appear to be on the offense against a reasonable individual who just happens to be black.

You would have to convince us that black/hispanic drivers that are stopped 3X more than white drivers are 3X more likely to "ride dirty" to justify your belief, despite the similarities in drug use. Then you'd have to convince us, that despite minorities having a significantly lower vehicle ownership rate, there are 3X as many legitimate opportunities to stop them, than white drivers.

That's a LOT of convincing.

Actually, I don't have to 'convince' anybody, of anything. I am just pointing out the very obvious..... and giving you something to think about. Every thing that goes on in the life of a young black man, is not the result of racism or 'social injustice'. And you know it.

Like I posted earlier in this thread, I have many friends whom are black men (in particular). Most of them have been in my home, sat and drank coffee with the wife and I. Even been invited in for dinner. Not just acquaintances.... but real friends. I know for a fact, from their own conversations w/ me, that some of them go stop at the convenient mart or gas station, and buy their 'Black & Mild' or whatever..... and smoke it right in the same parking space.

I don't know of any of my 'white' friends.... doing that. Just sayin'.....

Stop, just stop. Come on now..... That has jack to do with it.

It's the fact the he is wrong on so many levels.
Like telling everyone the sky is green when we all know it's blue.

Kut's black???? He told me he was caramel....This changes everything.....

I'll tell you what I think....I think Kut likes a good debate....And I think the more the merrier for him...

C'mon guys...Can we just admit we love this stuff??? All of it....Every damn debate, dog pile, and scrap....Every damn one of us thrives on this stuff and if kut wasn't out there flashing the mirror these threads would be boring as hell.......If I think Kut's getting too quiet I'll poke him with a stick...Not trolling (although it could be seen as that) but just trying to see another way....I rarely agree with him but he does make me think and there is nothing wrong with seeing it through other eyes.....

IMHO

No, he lives in caramel...... and zima.

I think he needs to remember the adage, "everything in moderation"

Well. Often reasonable maybe. He did say that the response in PR would have been better if PR were less "brown". That's unreasonable. And he's had other similar meltdowns.

people here mostly look at the world from the righ wing perspective. If you're coming from a left of center viewpoint, and you're the only one talking, you're going to be the only one to get the opposing replies. I guess we call that a dogpile.

Huh?

 

[indiucky]

Huh?

I think he meant to say "Blunt"...

(I have not translated since harleyrider left...God Bless that lanky biker....I miss him....)

 

[Kutnupe14]

I think he meant to say "Blunt"...

But he didn't say blunt, he said "Black and mild," which a lot of black people smoke, sans marijuana.

No offensive actions here. Just responding to some things that got me riled up.

But a lot of them fill them with the choicest herbs and spices.

I like KFC.

I do too but that seems a rather awkward way to consume it. Maybe I'm just not woke enough.
