You perhaps misunderstood it. I believe I'm pretty clear on what I said. It's no brainer that when you go out on undercover mission, you prepare for all possible scenarios. They (Chief/Commissioner/etc.) wanted to use multi-race card in this case and OTHER cases (probably not well-publicized maybe cuz it went fine without any casuality). Too bad their multi-race card backfired.
 We ARE on issue of Al Sharpton playing race card so I showed you the list of previous cases. Unrelated cases? But Sean Bell case is same as bunch of previous cases - BLACK VICTIMS! UNFAIR TREATMENT! SHOT/BRUTALIZED BY WHITE MEN! and you asked where is the racism coming from? <point at Al Sharpton and Reverend Jackson>
Would he be blocking traffic if the dead man was a white guy instead of Sean Bell?
It seems like you are the only one who does not think Al Sharpton's schtick is black racism. |
What exactly is "black racism"? And have you forgotten the multi-ethnic composition of the police involved?
What exactly, is wrong with Al Sharpton coming to the defense and support of his own race? Would you also object to a Deaf man defending the civil rights of Deaf people?
And exactly. You and a few others keep bringing up the "race card." My point exactly. You are the ones focused on race. How would you have responded if Al Sharpton had been white?
