According to some on this forum, cops who are not arrested or proven innocent in a court of law for shooting an unarmed black man means they didn't do the crime. I've even used OJ as proof that lack of arrest or conviction does not necessarily mean complete innocence.
If speaking out against cops who shoot unarmed individuals when there are alternative means to keep him alive makes me a race-baiter, so be it.

Smellin Coffee said:Huh? He claims to be biracial, identifying with black culture.
So he lied to create a false narrative ?Ransom said:Smellin Coffee said:Huh? He claims to be biracial, identifying with black culture.
He only started to claim that after people learned that the parents listed on his birth certificate were both white.

When I was 8 years old and in the second grade, black children first began asking me if I was ?mixed.? In our house, my white mother, the sweetest woman ever and one of the best friends I?ve ever had, didn?t talk much about race. Most white families don?t. It?s part of the privilege. I didn?t even know what ?mixed? was. This isn?t a secret. I?ve told this story publicly in front of thousands of people.
After that day when I was first asked if I was mixed, while I was still a very young child, kids and their well-intentioned parents began telling me they knew who my black father was, that I was so and so?s cousin, etc. This was in small-town Versailles, Kentucky, in the 1980s. It happened regularly for years on end. While I didn?t have an understanding of the national dialogue on interracial children, I knew even as a young child that what people were telling meant something very peculiar and unflattering about my mother. I was aware at how different I looked than my siblings, but didn?t understand DNA or genealogy. They were my family and I loved them.
I adored my mother so much then, that I just didn?t have the nerve to ever bring these things up to her. I was a child and loved our care-free relationship. She had been married and divorced several times and by the time I was in second grade she was raising my brother and me as a single mom. By the time I reached middle school, I fully identified myself not even as biracial, but just as black. A white classmate of mine from middle school just posted her recollection of this. Of course, that was an oversimplification of my story, but that was what made sense at that time. Adults who loved and knew me, on many occasions sat me down and told me that I was black. As you could imagine, this had a profound impact on me and soon became my truth.
Every friend I had was black, my girlfriends were black, I was seen as black, treated as black, and endured constant overt racism as a young black teenager. Never have I once identified myself as white. Not on forms, not for convenience or privilege, and not for fun and games, have I ever identified myself as white. I was never a white guy pretending to be black. Not once, ever, did it occur to me that I was being phony or fraudulent or fake. Quite the opposite?I always believed I was living the truest form of my self.

Race, love, hate, and me: A distinctly American story

Has lefty brainwashing fried your reason? Look at the date on that article: It was published only a year and a half ago. So in addition to being a fake black, he's faking being a fake black in middle school.

This year, however, without Mr. Obama on the ticket, Americans finally felt free to reject another four years of high unemployment, anemic economic growth, unsustainable spending and record-breaking deficits and debt, unpopular and bankrupting socialized medicine, record numbers of people on food stamps and living in poverty, and the escalating threats of nuclear and other proliferation and Islamic fundamentalism.

Wrong. Clinton had way more of the popular vote than Trump. It wasn't the "Americans" who "finally felt free to reject another four years" but rather the Americans with the most Electoral College votes. The issue is "which" Americans rejected Obama's time vs. the "number of" Americans.

No doubt. Still the Dems won the popular vote for the White House so the point the article was making based on quantitative votes is nothing but a straw man.
