So either you're sheltered and have no realistic idea as to how badly the criminal subset can behave when confronted with folks in positions of authority or you tend to side with criminals over law enforcement because you have some sort of problem with authority. Either way. |

By the way, coward, stop pretending as though you attempted those sexual abuse jokes in response to Iota Man and me. By the way2, since you are delirious and therefore cannot read, stop fantasizing that I called you racist. That may be your life's dream but (as I have said tons of times on GC over the years) I do not call individuals racist. Iota Man called you racist and believes you are racist based on a previous thread. |
And maybe you can stop pretending that you weren't implying racism when you said I'd likely feel different if the girl had been white. If you want to clarify, go ahead, but that was certainly how it came across.
I never said the abuse joke was in reference to anything either of you said. Again, I guess you are the other two people in the world who have never laughed at an off-color, even bad joke. And to steal one from Jeffrey Ross, if you're offended, you could do as Paterno did and just look the other way. |

Sigmund Freud would have a good time with you. Since I used Google Images to find the image of the 12 year old girl on page 1 of this thread, have you Google Imaged "12 year old girl" yet? Almost all of the images on the first 5 pages of results are 12 year old white girls with a few Asian and other nonBlack girls. These are two of the first images of "12 year old girl" who are of the more immediate Black or African Diaspora: https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/im...jAxGJPKT_0fIPk https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/im...SHPSJiCihzyvdg Perhaps I needed to scour Google Images for a Black girl so that you can grasp the point being made--which does not instantly make it not about race since Black girls still have a race regardless of the discussion at hand. When you responded about white privilege and so forth, it confirmed what I assumed would happen. Now that you are over your imagination that I was calling you racist because of my effortless choice of a white 12 year old girl who actually looks under the age of 18 in Google Images, certainly you can grasp that images shape perceptions of demographic characteristics including age. Certainly you can grasp that the media makes every effort to advertise the victimization of women and children who are often considered "beautiful," "innocent looking," and "adorable" based on mainstream standards which in turn shapes the mainstream/general public's response to the victimization of some people versus others. That has long been correlated with factors including but not limited to socioeconomic status and race and ethnicity. Even someone who believes "no one is holding you back but yourself" can grasp this. You even stated numerous times that it is difficult to gauge the age of girls and especially racial and ethnic minority girls. Rhetorical question1, how do you think that shapes perception and response from the general public and the media? Rhetorical question2, if there are some children who look their age and some children who look older than their age, and this has been linked to race and ethnicity, how does it not make sense to look at children in the same age group across races and ethnicities? Rhetorical question3, have not mainstream images of beauty and innocence around the world been linked for decades to socioeconomic status and race, ethnicity, and culture and been studied as they pertain to forms of crime and deviance and people's perceptions of crime and deviance?

Dude was "breaking the law" and going against "authority". http://youtu.be/ifCN7ezlDQg They were "breaking the law" too. http://youtu.be/o54n7HXwOhc Dude "broke the law" by whistling at a white girl. http://youtu.be/OMdSYxZqIXc She "broke the law". http://youtu.be/15p5HB-FpjI It was the law then, so if you were around then since it's "breaking the law" and going "against authority", then you support that too. What your dumb, racist ass doesn't understand is times change, but people do not. It's the same shit, different day, you idiot. Quote:

So you're going to compare a 12 year old who interfered in her drug trafficking convicted parent who was shopping at Victoria's Secret instead of paying outstanding traffic citations to Rosa Parks? Are you trying to suggest this was some sort of symbolic act of civil disobedience?

You apparently could not get over it but now you know your interpretation was overwhelmingly a figment of your imagination. In contrast, what you said in that other thread was not a figment of our imagination, it was interpeted exactly how you intended, and it remains applicable. |

For what it's worth, I've learned a lot over the years from you regarding racial issues. I just tend to (as you may have picked up) disagree with a lot of what you've said... and before you ask for specifics, I can't even think of anything specific at the moment. Aside from that, I have no problems with you. Hatchet buried. |

Long story short, I'm all for jokes and amusement but I was curious about why you insisted on convincing yourself that I was calling you racist despite the fact that I do not give much credit to individual racism. Also, someone does not have to be racist, classist, heterosexist, ageist, sexist, or (insert other -isms) to consciously and/or subconsciously conform to mainstream images of beauty, youth, innocence, and harmlessness that are attached to demographic characteristics. This has been a component of societies long before the contemporary media existed. We all conform at times and we constantly have to challenge these images and our acceptance of these images. Such is life. The crimes showcased on HLN's evening shows are sometimes considered an illustration of this as is some of the discussion in that GC thread about Casey Anthony. Thread Cliff Notes for GCers who are trying to keep up and wondering "what in the hell": Some GCers were posting about whether people believed there are reasons to ever tase children and are there legal and extralegal factors that shape people's opinions. Does the child have to be engaged in certain behaviors? Does the child have to possess a weapon? Does it have to be a certain type of weapon? What happens if the child has a physical, mental, or emotional condition? Does the child have to be a certain age, income level, education level, family type, style of dress, or possess other traits that people can label "harmful" or "future offender" versus "innocent" or "too pretty/adorable/cutesy" to be a threat. These are among the things that law enforcement officers deal with during training and during actual incidents. These are also the things that the general public deals with and should think about. |

Let me make it clear--I'd be happy to see that little blonde hellion tased if she was doing what this officer's report indicated the young lady in the OP was doing, and that if all she got was tased (not charged with a crime), she's had a pretty good day. Quote:

Obviously the incident I posted a link presented a clearly unacceptable tasing incident wherein a bedridden old lady was tased 5 times and had her oxygen hose stepped on which deprived her of oxygen during some sort of an arrest where five officers were present. |
