They are dumb people, they don't understand sarcasm. Anyone with half a brain understood what you meant. These jokers don't even have up to half a brain.

I’m surprised the other guy quoted me, but not Lucas. It’s amazing

Appleyard:
The lootings is wrong, burning the church is wrong. But the point is, much of this could have been averted if the presidency has been all over the place condemning the gruesome act, appealing to the people and speeding up the prosecution process so people's minds can come down a little bit. But sadly, none of this happened.

Calling and speaking with the family of the dead is a step in the right direction, but is not enough. It isn't Floyd's family that's protesting in the street now.

Address the nation, promise changes, and because human beings are the same everywhere, I tell you, many of the people making up the rioters will step on the gasket and a sizable portion of the riot will stop. Before you know it, the riot will die a natural death.

Unfortunately, some blind folks here think Trump don't need to address and plead with the rioters because to them, all of them are Antifas, thugs, and worthy to be shot. That's how you know a crazy fanatic.

I can't believe that someone in this thread could open his mouth to say if the president calls for the prosecution of the cops involved, he would be usurping the powers of the court. Can you imagine?.

This is one of the threads on Nairaland with the most inhumane and illogical thinkers. I give up on this thread.

I, personally, am disappointed in the way Trump handled this situation. I expected him to have addressed in the exact same way Keisha Bottoms of Atlanta did, but he was found wanting.

The Bible says a soft word tempers anger and I expected him to, at least, show some sympathy for the man as soon as the outrage became extra loud. I think he always wants to show the hard side of himself and I also think that, perhaps, he doesn’t see this as a race issue and, as such, cannot understand the outrage considering such deaths aren’t limited to black people.

But he’s a politician now and a mob is a mob, I think his failure to appreciate the general sentiment made him make the mistake of being aloof.

In my opinion, this crisis was poorly handled

feedthenation:
A little respect for the grieving family.

Do you know the meaning of calling a black person 'Uncle Tom'?

To you and Abbeybailey; this statement was sarcastic. It should be obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

How can I call someone who has the same views as I do an Uncle Tom? Was George Floyd’s brother not saying exactly what my sentiments were? If you and Lucas weren’t so bent on looking to score cheap points, logic would have revealed straight away that I was mocking all of you supporting the riots.

Bluebyrd:
George Floyd's younger brother urges protesters not to 'tear up your town'

In an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts and ABC's Good Morning America, Terrence Floyd opened up about his brother's death and the heated protests across the US. "He was about peace, he's about unity. The things that [are] transpiring now … they may call it unity, it’s destructive unity. It’s not what he was about," he said.

George Floyd’s brother is an Uncle Tom. Nobody cares what he has to say

Bluebyrd:
Too much ignorance to be seen on this forum. How is it possible that in this age of information, there are 'adults' that don't know that when it comes to the security of the president, the secret service is in charge and will make all the decisions. They have even shown it in many movies that kids even know it. If Trump was moved to a bunker, his secret service details did that and they will move him there by force even if he refuses to go so long as they see a security threat around.

They will soon accuse you of being far right. Just watch

The US is under psychological attack

Burn it all, but don’t burn my own house. Burn anywhere else you like

America is under attack from subversive elements

Does this black man’s life matter? Or is he the wrong kind of black man?

Apt

Antifa is now officially regarded as a terrorist organization

abi now, no mind em egbon... yeye pipu

The thing weak me

Abbeybailey:
I have no problem with you or anyone here but what you guys think is fun is life and death to some of us here who have to deal with seeing people that looks like you and i killed for no reason. I am a father of three young beautiful ladies and a Jnr. I don't want any harm to them the same way you don't want any harm to your daughter. That's why people like me take it personal.

Lucas, stop putting words in my mouth, and projecting whatever upon me. I do not think killing an unarmed individual is fun.

I also will make my mind based on the information available to me not emotions. If you have a problem with my conclusions, I’m sorry I cannot help you there.

You have your opinions, I have mine. Insulting me from now till tomorrow will not make me change them, I certainly won’t insult you for yours.

budaatum:
The way you use the word "perception" makes it sound like you dispute facts you refuse to perceive, as if covering one's eyes would make facts disappear. But if you stop implying it, I'd stop inferring.

You’re arguing in bad faith. Ciao

Abbeybailey:
I am not ur mate expect on nairaland. That's the only thing we have in common.

E ma binu sir

budaatum:
You do seem to keep disputing the fact.

Feel free to post where I disputed it. You need not assume, I have neither edited nor deleted any comments I made in this thread

Teaser4:
I wanna ask what happened to Covid19, all y'all liberals fvcktards were screaming, the country should remain under lockdown till they find a vaccine. I hope the protesters are observing social distancing. How convenient.....

Corona no dey catch protesters

Abbeybailey:
You are correct. Obama is the reason Trump is Orange and fat. Obama agents in the White House are feeding him all those greasy cheese burgers and fried chicken.

Whatever floats your boat, mate.

budaatum:
8% is not perception, Timbuktuo. It's a fact, whether you accept it or not

I said 8% is perception? I would advise you to go see what comment i responded to. Stop putting words in my mouth.

DCatt:
Not just that!

Race relation was at all time worst during Obama administration and all the cries of racism you are seeing today is the groundwork Obama laid. Obama wouldn't have been elected if America is racist, people were wrong for thinking a mixed race like Obama was going to help get races together but he divided them further.

Democrats are race hustlers because that's how they can keep people suppressed and their mumu followers are all soaked in.

What you are seeing is power in action. The Deep State is flexing their muscles, showing Trump that political power is just one type of power and they have other forms they can wield.

Abbeybailey:
No president in the free world will have 100% of support from his people. Every one here know that I love Obama but I have my disagreement with him when he was the President. I will tell you if you care to know. No human is perfect but Trump is just as vile as a human as God created.

Funny enough, I think the likes of Obama and his Deep State pals are vile and in fact I believe they orchestrated this recent unrest

Abbeybailey:
I bet you they are all voting for Trump. I am not fighting for myself. I am fighting for the younger ones coming behind not to go through what we went through. You want your children to be better than you in life the way our parents want us to be better than them. Trump ain't get any effect on me. With Trump or any president in office, I will have a successful life because I have prepared my life for success. Trump is a divisive figure in a country of diverse population of 350 million people.

There are people who regard Obama and the Dems as divisive figures because of their fixation on expressing every issue through the issue of demographic divisions and identity politics.

Perception

Abbeybailey:
Are you Buhari's neighbor to have a feeling about him . Are you neighbor to the Gov of Lagos State to have a feeling about how he runs your State. Think of that if it makes any sense to you.

Fair point. At the end of the day, it’s all about perception like I said earlier. After all, Buhari has his avid supporters

Abbeybailey:
If The junk you are posting make you proud. Goid for you. I pray to God none of your fifteen family members will not be affected by the killings going on by Nazi police officers.

They will not be.

Abbeybailey:
I guess truth is bitter. If you live here, you will feel differently. Walk a mile in my shoes and see how it feels.

Abegi. I have family in US and they don’t have victim mentality. I have more than 15 relatives in the US and they don’t whinge and whimper about racism and Trump. We talk about American politics regularly and never once have I heard any kind of victim talk from any of them.

Abbeybailey:
I wasn't 60 or 70 anymore. Get your facts right just like your brethren that says i live in california. Something must be in that satchet water you drink. Do you know the population of Blacks in americs to say many African Americans are doing it. Don't you see Whites, Hispanics, Asians and even American Indians in the protests. Your key point is black people. That's why you show your card. Once you support a vile racist Trump who hates people like you enough for me to tell you that I know where your mind is. Are you telling me over 90% of African Americans that will vote against Trump in Nov are stupid and they are brainwashed. We live with Trump and you don't and we know him better that you will ever know him with all your googling.

Are you Trump’s next door neighbor? Why should I believe you over another black person that tells me Trump isn’t racist? You that cannot even construct a simple sentence of rational thought.

Whether 90% black people vote for Trump or not is irrelevant. Are you saying the 10% black people who voted for him are daft?

You’re just rambling like an imbecîle. Agbalagba ni yin e ye wiregbe

Abbeybailey:
You are not getting the point. All races are being killed by police but the ratio is in contention here.

Like I said before, I can give at least fifteen to twenty black men and women that were killed violently without any justification on my head alone as I type. The bottom line is that the police are very good in descalation when it comes to whites but will pull a trigger on a secong for someone that looks like you and i. That's the key point you are missing.

Glad you mentioned ratio. Studies have shown that the ratio of interactions with police is directly related to the number of unarmed civilians being killed. And guess which demographic has the most interactions per capita?

You claim that police are very skilled at de-escalating when interacting with white people but the figures suggest that your claim is false. White people simply have less interactions per capita than black people.

I posted two different videos yesterday of white people being killed by police and you flippantly brushed them aside because it does not conform with your warped worldview. Both videos are still there waiting for you to click. In fact, one of the videos shows a white man being killed in almost exactly the same manner as George Floyd, the other showed that a white man was killed while on his knees and his hands were up.

Finally, you know many black people killed because that is the information the media has brainwashed you with, I mean there are more white people killed than black so how come you don’t know any of the names of the killed white people?

Abbeybailey:
Oshodi boy, no sane person will tell you looting and burning is good. Have condemned it before and I am condemning it now. The key question is blacks are being killed disproportionately by Nazi police officers. Your brain is too fractured to take that in. I can give you about twenty names right now about the senseless killings of blacks including TAMIR Rice a Ten year old black boy in Ohio shot dead by a White Police Officer. If that doesn't bother You, where is your humanity in defending a vile racist pig that think of you as a dirt bag in Africa.

I have always wondered how you manage your family with your strawman argumentative techniques.

No sane person will tell me looting and burning is good yet many African Americans are actively doing it or in support of it. Yet, another set of African Americans who decry the destruction of communities are labeled Uncle Tons and coons. Are you saying the African a Americans who support this carnage are unwell?

Secondly, please point out, from my previous posts, where I have defended any racists or criminals. I haven’t edited any of my previous comments so it should be easy for you to do.

Just because I have a different approach/perspective doesn’t mean I don’t see the same problem. But I don’t expect you to understand that. They say a fool at 40 is a fool forever, I’m not surprised seeing as you’re pushing 60

wirinet:
So to you there is no racism in America and blacks are not racially targeted.
You must either be an ultra white supremacist or simply living in an alternative universe. Even most white people in the US agree that there is a racist problem and blacks are on the receiving end of it.

See this clip were Jane Elliott asked her white audience to stand up if the want to be treated the way blacks are treated in America. NONE stood up.

This makes no sense. Everything is about perception, and perception can be altered with mere words, not to talk of decades of programming.

Is there racism in America, undoubtedly, that is the nature of the human species. Is there no tribalism in Nigeria? Is there no xenophobia in SA? Are there no village people?

The other will forever remain a thing in human relations. But for a racial group to monopolize victimhood to police brutality is disingenuous to say the least.

And someone can come to nairaland and belch "it happens to other races". pathetic.

Are you saying American police do not kill people of other races too? Please, this is a genuine question.

Zuorom:
So it's no longer about skin color? You guys are jokers

Correct clowns. The content of their argument shows they argue in bad faith. Their hate for Trump is the driving force behind their ideology.

On social media, when you criticize them for the burning and looting you hear them saying the burning and looting are good because it makes their voices heard. On the other hand, they say they aren’t the ones burning and looting that it looks like white guys are the one doing it.

How can you have any meaningful conversation with these kinds of people?

Abbeybailey:
Once again, your post makes no sense. It's not about color it's about the Police code of silence. You have to go all the way to bring a coon by name Larry Elder who is a well known Uncle Tom.

You’ve been implying it’s about racism. Now, you’re saying it’s not about racism again.

Is there any thinking person who believes that police brutality should be condoned? Old man stop being emotional and stop shifting goalposts.
