Hmm, R37. Google says that's a character from 'Ordinary People' (1980). I steered clear of that film, since its subject matter seemed to typify entirely too much of the kind of drama taking place in my own family at the time, the effects of which have been lasting.

Weeping/histrionics involuntarily activate coldness and un-sympathy in me, which causes me to have to try to gauge whether my innate response is unjustified, that I should make some effort to overcome it. I find such situations distasteful and prefer to avoid them.

The martyrdom and lionization of career criminal George Floyd is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, his death was tragic and the cops responsible should be punished, but they to act as though this guy was some saint is pathetic. The guy was a thug, had been convicted of assault, robbery, theft and drug charges. He was not a good person, period.

I’m a black millennial male and I’m sick of black victimhood. The black community is all up in arms whenever a cop kills a black people but it’s crickets whenever someone points out that black men killing other black men is the real threat. I know this isn’t a popular opinion and I’ll probably be labeled a troll but I don’t give a shit. Sick of this shit.

Maybe in your country it is acceptable for police to lynch a suspect on the street in full view of other citizens but in this country, if you get charged with a crime, you get a trial by jury and if you're convicted you serve time.

No I really am a black millennial, I just refuse to subscribe to the narrative of black victimhood. George Floyd was murdered and the cop who murdered him and those officers who tacitly endorsed it by doing nothing will be severely punished. But I also reject the notion that George Floyd was a hero, or a martyr, or someone worth worshipping as some pillar of upstanding citizenry when in fact he was a violent criminal. He contributed nothing to society and to mourn his death is ridiculous. I also don’t buy that there is a widespread police agenda to hunt down and murder black men in America as the media would like us to believe.

Myself and many other black men who stay out of trouble and don’t look or act like gang bangers have had virtually no run ins with the law. I say virtually because I was arrested in college after a bar fight but only because the “victim” (who actually attacked me first was bleeding and got to the cops before I did). The case was weak and the “victim” never even showed up to court. That was my only experience with the law. I resent this idea that’s being pushed by the MSM that EVERY single black man has the same experience with the police. It isn’t true or rooted in reality at all. I am not a victim.

R87 The Jews call that Mesirah- and it's basic betrayal , and not only to your race. No American should want to see another American killed in that manner- whether they are saints or sinners. If you don't protect his rights than your rights are in danger. But sit down and get to know your history first. I have never been stopped by the police. I am an attorney. And in court you are only Uncle Tom or a field hand in the eyes of the law. Just so you could have that opinion a black person died for you. Just so you could think you were equal a black person died for you. You are either master or slave. You can't be both. Either you want to be free or you have illusions of grandeur.
