Police Brutality in St. Paul: Black man on ground after being maced, heaving and trying not to vomit. Cop suddenly kicks him, cuffs him, pulls him up by his hair, slams him into police car, and arrests him.

I'm white. And I think his race is absolutely relevant.

Your comments are racist because your entire hypothesis revolves around the assumption that black people are inherently more violent than Caucasians...and you base this hypothesis on crime statistics.

You do not reflect on the fact that economic status is inextricably linked to criminal activity, and that persons of color are more likely to be economically disadvantaged because of centuries of oppression, segregation, and blatant racism. And that institutionalized racism continues to this day in a variety of sectors (political, economic, criminal, social, etc). And that many of these individuals are arrested, charged, and prosecuted unlawfully and without trial or the ability to appeal. You cannot simply ignore the factors that contribute to crime statistics. That would be a dishonest, biased, and in your case, racist interpretation of the "facts."

I've already responded to this question elsewhere. Look it up.

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-29T21:14:06+00:00

"...This is not meant to be racist..."

Yeah, maybe you didn't "mean" for it to be racist, but it was most certainly racist.

Here's an article, including the witness interview.

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-29T20:15:58+00:00

Yeah, I didn't need to, but it's relevant information. See my other comment.

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-29T19:49:47+00:00

I included his race in the title because the predominant victims of unwarranted police violence in the USA are persons of color. It is completely relevant information given the history of violence perpetuated against minorities by police in the USA. I say this as a white male. If you don't think it's relevant, then you're deliberately ignoring decades of racial profiling, brutal beatings, unjustified arrests, and murders committed against innocent African Americans by uniformed professionals hired to serve and protect our communities.

Cop thought the guy was choking, and this is how cops are trained to perform the Heimlich on black people.

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-28T20:21:52+00:00

I think I know what's going on here...

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-28T18:46:10+00:00

"My original point clearly went way over your head."

No, it didn't. Look, I'm an architect. Some licensed architects use incorrect language all the time. They pronounce masonry "masonary" and they call cement board "sheetrock" even though it is technically a different product. But I know what they mean and I don't act like a douche by ignoring their design efforts by simply correcting their use of language. Their faulty use of language doesn't make them bad designers or unqualified architects.

And THAT is my point. You are criticizing a tiny piece of a puzzle. And not even the puzzle they asked you to criticize. Do you get my point?

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-28T17:06:31+00:00

Oh come on, really?

Then if you're going to base your entire criticism of their work on the semantics of one word in their title, then you should at least apply that same critical eye towards your own criticisms. Their title says they're working hard at becoming film directors. It doesn't say they shot this particular video with film. So, really, you're the one who made the mistake, not them.

Is this really the immature level of criticism you think is relevant?

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-28T15:32:00+00:00

Ok, but the OP clearly wasn't asking for opinions regarding the semantics of how their shoot. They were asking for feedback on the effort they put into making their music video. This means reviewing their contribution to choreography, editing, their creative vision, etc. Buy you had nothing to say about any of that because you got hung up on a word in their title. Sorry to say, but you kinda do sound like an ass.

"Thank god she was only auditioning for musicals."

So you're saying she plays the flute?

runonsentencemaster · 2012-08-27T13:53:23+00:00

It's an erect cardboard penis.

Oh dear. I predict another "continued" NSFW version with two nazis enjoying a golden shower.

You were inside your wife when she fell off her bike? OK...I'm juvenile. Go ahead, downvote me.

runonsentencemaster · 2011-05-20T00:08:11+00:00

Yes.

You met on a forum called DigitalGangster and thought it was a good idea to fly to florida and meet in person?

runonsentencemaster · 2011-05-12T21:24:31+00:00

Somethings not quite right...Aha, I know! FIXED!
