Nothing to see here.

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27267521/colorado-springs-police-responding-explosion-reports-at-naacp

Quote :
"An improvised explosive device was detonated against the exterior wall of a building housing the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP on Tuesday, officials said.

The explosion knocked items off the office walls but no one was injured.

Agents from the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went to the scene after the blast to gather evidence and place markers.

The FBI said that a gasoline can was placed next to the device but the contents did not ignite.

According to the the FBI, officials are seeking a "potential person of interest," described as a balding white male, about 40 years old.

"He may be driving a 2000 or older model dirty, white pick-up truck with paneling, a dark colored bed liner, open tailgate, and a missing or covered license plate," the FBI said in a statement said.

The explosion was heard near the building on the 600 block of South El Paso Street on the southern end of the city just before 11 a.m. Those nearby reported hearing a "loud boom."

"I was cutting somebody's hair and I heard the explosion," said Gene Southerland, the owner of Mr. G's Hair Design Studio in the same building. "It was such a loud explosion that some plastic containers fell off the shelf."

Henry Allen Jr., the NAACP chapter president, told The Gazette the explosion was strong enough to knock items off the walls and that volunteers who looked outside to see what happened saw what they described as a gas can rigged with some kind of incendiary device, such as a flare.

"We'll move on," Allen told the newspaper. "This won't deter us from doing the job we want to do in the community."

Photos from the scene showed evidence markers littering the area surrounding the building, local police and their police bomb squad maneuvering around yellow tape.

"The investigation is ongoing and it is not known at this time if the NAACP or a business in the vicinity was the intended target," said Amy Sanders, an FBI special agent."


You'd think this would be a bigger news item.

Liberal-Dribble White Guilt articles from moron ITT:

Quote :
"I live in constant fear that myself, my brother, my son, will be... shot on the street, simply because of what we look like.”"


Has there ever been one black person not murdered by white cops on the street just for being black?

^ if you think factual inferences are liberal dribble and white guilt, the issue isn't with the information, it's your thinking.

^^Yes.

In fact, it just happened a few days ago in Durham. A black guy was after he supposedly charged and pointed a gun at officers. He wasn't stopped, harassed and killed because he was black. He was killed because he was playing with an air-soft gun that looked real, that even his mom said was real.

There is no "factual inference" that can logically lead to "A constant fear that you will be shot, due to your race, on the street, by the police."

This is absolutely liberal white guilt garbage. There aren't any statistics or facts even referenced in the article, it's all vague feel-good white guilt nonsense that doesn't mention specific problems or solutions, it just perpetuates the "You're a victim nothing is your fault, vote democrat" message.

Factual Inference:

So Michael Brown got shot because he robbed a store and fought a cop, but his skin was black and that's all the media cares about... so factual inference... black = shot by cops! I'm black, therefore = Constant fear.

I used to know lots of black people, but they were all shot on the street by racist white cops. I wasn't shot because I am white, and this is my white privilege, but now that I have opened my heart and acknowledged it, we can move forward as a society.

I'm not 100% convinced that's racism... i think that cop was just nuts. The guy did look like the person they were looking for (who turned out to be innocent anyway), i'm betting the cop would have handled that no matter the color of the suspect.

^^I'm criticizing the vague, delusional, sensationalized, white-guilt article that has no basis in fact.

Naturally I need to deflect a potential accusation of racism by citing unverifiable statistics regarding the ethnicity of my acquaintances and friends. "I'm not a racist, I have a black friend, see?"

God forbid people think instead of just add regurgitated white-guilt garbage to the liberal echo chamber.

The "article" itself actually pleads with the reader not to think

Quote :
"see if you can let this reach your heart before you fight it with your brain"


^ Good for you. Not 100% convinced something is racist just because the victim is black and cop is white, that is progress.

^ cop was already fired, IIRC, so the protests are working regardless-- to help both black and white people out. It seems in general policy makers are paying more attention to issues of systemic racism, and hopefully this trend continues, because it's good for everyone.

So because I disagree with something you think, and can articulate my thoughts with statistics/facts/logic without resorting to name-calling... you can't deal with it so you resort to the liberal last-line-of-defense with a blind accusation of racism? That's cute.

If you actually think I have posted something racist feel free to quote me (but we both know that isn't the case).

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2015/10/black_kids_bullied_by_racists_lose_lawsuit_against_school.html

Quote :
"In February 2012, the girls’ mother, Lawanda Fennell-Kinney, “drove to the Marion High School parking lot to retrieve a car seat from Kyana’s car. Next to the car, Fennell-Kinney found a noose and a printed note, which stated:

Die Fuckin “nigger sisters” ... Bitches!!!!
You can never bring our families down ...
Whites will always rule this town and school!!!!
Damn Spooks!!!!
So go ahead and file your stupid damn complaints and grievances...
NIGGERS...and that “Nigger Lover” you have a baby with...

[...]

Under subheading B of the opinion, called “Incidents Involving Racial Epithets and Slurs,” the court observes many, many incidents, including some of the following:

“During their time in Marion ISD, Plaintiffs were the target of racial epithets and slurs. The earliest events began in kindergarten when Kyana was called a ‘nigger’ by a boy on the school bus. Kyana responded by punching the boy, for which she was disciplined. Kyana reported the boy’s statement to the bus driver, but it is unclear whether the boy was also disciplined.”

“After Kyana’s class read Huckleberry Finn in middle school, some of the students started using the word ‘nigger’ outside the context of the book. Kyana reported this to her teacher, and the teacher then spoke to the class about the incident, making clear that the word should not be used outside of discussions of the book.”

“Kyra received a text message from a classmate referring to her as a ‘stupid nigger’ after the 2008 presidential election. Kyra reported the incident to her middle school principal, who suspended Kyra’s classmate after explaining the inappropriate nature of the comment.”

“During the 2009–2010 school year, a Caucasian student called Kyana a ‘stupid nigger.’ Kyana reported the incident to the principal, who then contacted the student’s mother and explained that the student had been told not to use such language. It is unclear whether the student received any additional punishment.”

“In February 2011, a group of students surrounded Kavin. One of the Caucasian students hit Kavin and called her a ‘nigger.’ Kavin then punched the aggressor. After meeting with the two separately, the middle school principal suspended both Kavin and the aggressor for three days. The other student called Kavin a ‘nigger’ a week later, which Kavin reported to the principal. It is unclear whether the principal took any disciplinary action.”

“A Caucasian classmate told a joke in class using the word ‘nigger.’ In response, the teacher told Kavin that the student ‘didn’t mean it like that.’ Kavin reported the incident to the principal, who called the student’s mother.”

“Kyra received a text message from a Caucasian classmate that showed an animation of KKK members chasing President Obama. Kyra and the classmate had a physical altercation, and both students received three-day suspensions.”

“Kavin tried out for the cheerleading squad, which prompted her peers to say that ‘Black girls [aren’t] pretty enough to be cheerleaders.’ In addition, several girls recorded her tryouts on their cell phones, spreading the video around the school with the title: ‘Little boy tries out for cheerleading.’ ”

Ashley Smith, a Caucasian teacher who coached Kyana on the basketball team, told Kyana, in the midst of a discussion of bad influences, “You’re the bad influence. You’re the one who had a kid at 17.” Afterward, “Smith was suspended from coaching for one game and given an official reprimand from the school’s athletic director. A letter regarding the incident was also placed in Smith’s file.”

“One of Kyra’s teachers told Kyra’s class that ‘all black people [are] on welfare.’ Kyra confronted the teacher about the statement, after which the teacher threatened to send her to the office if she ‘didn’t pipe down.’ ”"

^^^^

That's brutal. Can't punch the kid, or you get kicked out of school. Can't complain to the teacher, they don't really do anything, can't complain to the principal, they just get a talking-to, can't complain to the courts, case just gets dismissed.

Literally no recourse for direct and systemic racism in that case... I don't know if I can imagine how frustrating that must be.
