So, let fly with the race card again?

I’m sure by now that you have all heard about the shooting of Kiwane Carrington, and of all the BS being thrown at the Champaign police department. Let me say this first off, I am sorry that a child has lost his life, that is never a good thing nor should it be celebrated.

That being said, I feel no remorse for the reason leading up to him being shot. When the police show up, its game over. That is it, you are caught, deal with it. That goes for every race, gender, creed, etc. The police are there to keep the peace and keep the community at large safe. They deserve everyone’s respect. I mean, first off, making a big hullaballoo about this just because he was black and saying it was race that caused this, is racist in and of it self. What if a white kid had been shot by a black cop? Would all of the people crying “racism” still be there to defend the white child? No, because they are hypocrites and racists themselves. Hate-mongers and self-loathers exist in both blacks and whites folks. Whites have the KKK, Blacks have the Black Panthers. both are groups of equally stupid, racist, hateful people, but that is an issue I may get into later.

“Those kids were not resisting arrest, they were resisting injustice” that was a comment I read in the opinion section of last weeks News Gazette. Really? Injustice is being caught for an attempted break in? You know what that statement tells me? That the person who wrote it is one of the hate-mongers and self-hating racists. That means that they propagate the lie that “cops only shoot minorities” That is a very sad thing to think, let alone tell anyone else. I got pulled over by a black cop once, and did I think for a second that he did it because I was white? No, I knew what I had done, I was speeding and knew he was doing his job, protecting the community. I was polite, complied with all of his commands, and was out with a warning because I complied and made his job easier. See how simple that is? You address the officer as “sir” or “mam” and you comply with everything they tell you. If you are being arrested, it is going to happen, there is nothing you can do to change that. Sure, you can struggle, and then you open up a whole shitstorm of possiblities. One of which can include your death. You see, police have to treat every suspect as if they are armed and dangerous because in all reality, you can NEVER assume that any person, be they white,black,yellow, purple, neon pink, is not a threat. You just can’t be that naive in a job like that. It isn’t safe for you or the people who depend on you.

Now, if you feel you are being wronged, and that you being arrested is not fair, then you wait until you are done being processed, and then you have the court system to hear your concerns. Believe me, they listen too, how many times do you see people just walk out the next day from an arrest? Pretty darn close to 9 times outta 10. There is the key fact though, you use the courts as your sounding board, not jump around and say nasty things. That puts anyone on edge around you, be you a cop or an everyday person. It’s human nature to react a little quickly if you think you are in danger. Now, that being said, was I there? No, but I do not believe that a police officer, would just up and shoot a baby for no reason. Maybe the kid reached into a pocket, maybe he made what could be considered a move towards one of the officers guns, I don’t know. What I do know is that parents need to stop feeding their children lies that the police are “out to get them because you are black” That is just not true. If you live in a black community and 99% of the arrests made are against blacks, that is not racism, that’s probablity. Using that twisted logic of “police are out to get you because of your skin color”, then the cops in Tolono are racist because all they do is pull over white people. See how stupid that argument sounds?

Bottom line, I am really sick of people crying race every single time anything happens to a minority. Accidents and misunderstandings happen people. Would there be this huge outcry and a march if a white kid had been shot? No, and as a matter of fact it prolly wouldn’t even make the first page. Hate-mongers and self-loathers on both sides of the issue need to grow up and stop pulling the race card left and right.

For Christ’s sake people, we are all human beings, there is no “other” race. It is past time for us to stop seeing each other in terms of color. Know how this headline would read if we didn’t have idiots yelling racism?

“15 year-old shot by police, investigation under-way”

instead we get things like “Racist pig kills innocent black student”

and from the white crazies “Police gun down boy like animal he is”

Grow the hell up, both sides, blacks and whites…grow the hell up.
