    All we are here is what we type.

    Black or white. We are colorless beyond our avatars.

    Our words reveal our skin color. That is why I have always said the demographics of covers, based on what I read in GD and PB, was a homogenous mass of middle-class middle-aged white males.

    Then along came you. The 'black guy' from Oakland.

    I had it wrong when I had the displeasure of meeting you Stump.

    I said, I, as a white person, was blacker than you.

    That was backwards.

    What I should of said was you were whiter than me!

    Because for what you type, you are hereby and henceforth known to me as,

    WHITE BOY.

    And the more you type the further to the right you move. Before your time here is done, you may have a figurative Swastika armband and a shaved head.

    Your thread title is EXACTLY what the WORST bigots here type. You don't even know how you sound.

    It is profoundly sad that as a man of black skin hue you choose to make company with these people and say the things you do.

    It is a profound disgrace to your race, regardless of the racism you are subject to.

    Have a good one. Better yet, continue on disgracing your race. Disgusting. 

    A white man is a better representation of your race than a black one.

    Disgusting.

      What about anything I wrote is wrong or demonstrates me being confused? You have the most read threads because everybody hates you and they like to talk sh!t to you. Kim Kardashian is a best sellin author; Does that make her Henry f*cking Thoreau?
      Look, i'm the one who really cares about police shootings in the Black community. And i'm of the opinion that there is problems in the training, and the recruiting and vetting process, of officers that contributes to this. I'm actually looking for solutions to the problem. What of substance have you ever offered to the problem? Arguing with old f*cks on covers? Having an Arizona and skittles as an avatar? What have you written that is constructive? I dare you to name on thing. You're a joke and a fraud.

    And again, you can't list one thing i've written to support your claim that I do damage to the black comnunity in these threads. You claim i'm against Black Lives Matter but can you name one thing i've written to support this? You're a sad, lonely, delusional, old man who thrives on covers arguments. And so you search them out. Only you could find negativity in what I wrote in this thread.

    In 2016,for every Black citizen shot(fatally) by a White cop on-duty, there were 18 on-duty White cops shot (fatally) by a Black citizen.Obviously theres a disparity in the war of the Cops vs the Criminal Class
    but BlackLIESmattter is the one wolffing.

    He goes after avatars folks (he brought it up not me)

    You make fun of an avatar that pays homage to a dead teenager shot through the heart by a "neighborhood watchman" (who has the same exact prejudices as the members of GD)....


    And this from someone who has an avatar...

    Of a BEAVER DRESSED AS PAUL BUNYON!!!

And i'm of the opinion that there is problems in the training, and the recruiting and vetting process, of officers that contributes to this. I'm actually looking for solutions to the problem. What of substance have you ever offered to the problem? Arguing with old f*cks on covers? Having an Arizona and skittles as an avatar? What have you written that is constructive? I dare you to name on thing. You're a joke and a fraud.

    He goes after avatars folks (he brought it up not me)

    You make fun of an avatar that pays homage to a dead teenager shot through the heart by a "neighborhood watchman" (who has the same exact prejudices as the members of GD)....

    How about your thread title which is the exact same one used as the bigots here...this sort of mocking tone and one that points to "All Lives Matter" the default stance of the bigoted right when anyone brings up BLM(but how would you know? You just got here and you think you run the place). Lol.

    Is that clear? No? I can go on.

    I not going after your avatar. I simply asked what of substance you have contributed other than avatars and covers.com arguments. Obviously you avoided the question, as you are known to do. Personally, I appreciated the avatar. I'm just saying it's loss on this crowd. Most don't even understand the meaning and the rest don't care.
    As far as my thread title goes, it was by design. I know on title alone, it would get some looks from the people in this forum. The reference to the killing of a young hispanic man and a young member of the LGBT community (apparently your activism is limited to one minority group because you seem to have a problem with this) but it was never meant to lessen the significance of police killing African-Americans. It was to help establish my thesis which is there is a problem with the the recruiting and vetting process and the training requirements of our nations police officers. There is a problem with accountability and communication between departments. Do yiu realize there have been officers involved in shootings who were deemed mentally unfit to be cops and were able to just apply to another department and get a job? That's a problem to me. You see, i'm actually looking for answers. People like you just post links to stories and start chat thread arguments with a bunch of old f*cks who's minds aren't going to be changed anyway. So what's the point? To shame them, as you like to say? Do you even know the definition of "shame"? This is an anonymous website. You are not shaming anybody.
    In the end, I know you live a sad existence because you obsess about the most ridiculous things as it pertains to this website. You constantly bring up my avatar, which is simply homage to the state of Oregon because I was in Oregon looking to buy a house when I created the profile. You make statements like, "you just got here and you think you can run the place." as if any mentally stable person posits the concept of "running a chat thread". You obsess over emojis, and you think I covet these people's acceptance. Frankly, I really don't give a damn. You people are just a break from capping for me. Personally I enjoy the threads about eating butthole and such more than these political debates you seem to thrive on.
    Look, Scal, i'm not your enemy. I'm not one of these guys that goes to lengths to insult you, that hopes for you to lose so they can troll you. When you lose, i'm always saying, "Just trust your process. Trust your capping. It'll turn around." Yet, you seem to get off on making me your public enemy #1 and it's getting annoying.

    There were 140 officers killed in the line of duty in 2016. That included everything from car accidents while in pursuit to people shot and killed by suspects of all races. There were over 250 African-Americans killed by police officers.

    And of those 150, want to guess the race breakdown of the assailants? 

    Those who continue to preach that there is no problem except for black criminals won't like the facts.

    The funny thing is he says he bases this on what I type, and what my stance is on certain issues, but he can't point to anything i've said, or any particular belief of mine, that supports it. I've asked him and he avoids the question. In reality, he feels the way he does based on two things:
    1) I called him out for speaking to things pertaining to Black people that he knows nothing about. I didn't say he can't be an activist and support the cause. I didn't say he couldn't speak up for black people. I just simply said there are things he can't relate to from reading a book. Or a facebook post. I said he would never understand being Black because he's not Black. Is that not a fact? I could get a doctorate in Marine Biology but that wouldn't make me relate to being a Whale. Any sane person gets this but Scal gets butt hurt.
    2) He's upset at the fact that I refuse to engage in ridiculous internet arguments with all of you "bigots". I have argued with all of you, at times. And I call out racism every time I see it. When racism requires a response of substance meant to educate, I provide one. And when it necessitates a little bit of nastiness, i'm there for that to. What i'm not down for is a "11 year" argument on race that accomplishes nothing. I don't get off on internet arguments. I don't have a need to feel like i'm winning the covers war. And i'm smart enough to know that the chances of changing someones mind in a chat forum are slim to none. So what really is the point of anything he posts? Just to start sh*t? He says it's to shame you all which clearly demonstrates he doesn't understand the concept of "shame".

    In the end he proved a point I made in the opening. I said I wanted an open discussion on an issue I believe contributes to police shootings. I had an actual stance, a thesis. And he took it as an opportunity to bash me. He reduced it to another sophmoric, he-said/she-said, covers.com argument. No substance, just insults. That's all these threads every become. I'm looking for solutions to problems that affect my community but Scal thinks he's blacker than me because he retweets Shaun King. Get the f*ck out of here.

    Maybe, Scalabrine envisions himself as a modern day James Whitmore in the movie "Black Like Me"

    Based on the true story of a white reporter John Finley Horton (James Whitmore) a white journalist who artificially darkens his skin in order to pass for a black man.

     He travels for several weeks in the Deep South at the height of the civil-rights movement, in order to experience the realities of a black man's life in the segregated South.

     not going after your avatar. I simply asked what of substance you have contributed other than avatars and covers.com arguments. Obviously you avoided the question, as you are known to do. Personally, I appreciated the avatar. I'm just saying it's loss on this crowd. Most don't even understand the meaning and the rest don't care.

    I avoid questions. LOL.

    You do know I have a Giants Redskins thread here which goes after EVERY troll in it and every accusation in it.

    That thread has 600 replies in it. And you are telling THAT GUY he 'dodges questions'.

    Stump you JUST GOT HERE less than 11 months ago.

    Who the fu** are you to tell anyone what they did here and what they said about race in their personal lives? You don't even know nor have you substantiated anything beyond allegedly shaking M.E.D.'s hadn't and protesting with BLM a group you apparently don't even know you deride.

    And many people knew what the avatar meant. I had it for many years and many pointed out exactly what it meant without me telling them. And honestly, I couldn't care if a single person didn't know what it meant. I posted it and it's not my responsibility to make you understand the symbolic nature of something!

    As far as my thread title goes, it was by design. I know on title alone, it would get some looks from the people in this forum. The reference to the killing of a young hispanic man and a young member of the LGBT community (apparently your activism is limited to one minority group because you seem to have a problem with this) but it was never meant to lessen the significance of police killing African-Americans. It was to help establish my thesis which is there is a problem with the the recruiting and vetting process and the training requirements of our nations police officers. 

    Wow you talk about two faced.

    First you attack an avatar because no one will understand the meaning and then you say YOU have some alternative meaning to the thread title, a title which was used by many bigots here and one they will never understand beyond that (which is why I called you out on it).

    And the opening salvos of their threads were similar in nature to yours (that is, an 'All LIves  Matter' approach which is the calling card of the bigoted right).

    Your posts leave me breathless.

    And try using a return key.

    It's right there by your right hand. They are called paragraphs and are far easier to read than Berlin Wall sized posts.

The reference to the killing of a young hispanic man and a young member of the LGBT community (apparently your activism is limited to one minority group because you seem to have a problem with this) but it was never meant to lessen the significance of police killing African-Americans. It was to help establish my thesis which is there is a problem with the the recruiting and vetting process and the training requirements of our nations police officers. 

    Wow you talk about two faced.

    First you attack an avatar because no one will understand the meaning and then you say YOU have some alternative meaning to the thread title, a title which was used by many bigots here and one they will never understand beyond that (which is why I called you out on it).

    And the opening salvos of their threads were similar in nature to yours (that is, an 'All LIves  Matter' approach which is the calling card of the bigoted right).

    Your posts leave me breathless.

    And try using a return key.

    It's right there by your right hand. They are called paragraphs and are far easier to read than Berlin Wall sized posts.

    Democrats have no power in American politics. Americans have rejected their agenda.

    Americans were angry at the direction our country was heading under Democrat control and they took their frustration out at the voting booth in Nov................that is why Americans rejected Hillary and the Democrat agenda..

    district gerrymandering

    In 2012, the first cycle after the redistricting, the GOP won 234 House seats despite actually losing the national popular vote. In states like Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, GOP House delegations continue to be far larger than the party’s statewide popular vote would suggest. 


    Hillary also won the popular vote ..
