Jon Stewart Nails It on Ferguson, Race and Media

a reply to: Hoosierdaddy71

We have a black president and half the country lost their minds over it.

Meanwhile, a white guy is told a restaurant isn't a safe place for whites and then is beaten by a mob of 20 black people. But that is not a hate crime, nor is it racist.

But a white cop shooting a black person who was assaulting him is racist. And you wonder why people are sick of this crap??

I can't believe anyone listens to Stewart, he's as bad as any news pundit.

exit the debate, dude. You'd deny a volcano eruption while half melted in it's lava.

a reply to: Kali74

The Dems sure did.

Shall we revisit all the dramatic hysterics over his election?

Because he was unqualified. .
We will never see his college transcripts.
We knew more about sarah Palin in 7 days than we know about Obama in 7 years.

Reverse racism is a ruse made up by Faux News.

Fox, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS ....

Any "Racism" creates a negative reverse effect.

All guilty.

But Stewart does it better.

The advertisers pay big money into the media concepts.

You don't get my point, these riots were about cops in general, not race

If that's all you see, then YOU have missed the point and are blind to the sub-context.

There's nothing I can do to help you see it.

And the other half of the country lost their minds over the 1/2 White part right ?

Really? Then why weren't the right-wingers up in arms when that idiot Bush, who can hardly form a complete sentence and who had less time in elected office prior to becoming President, was elected?

Because it's really just a melt down over qualifications, right?

Nobody does race pimping better than the right-wing contingency on ATS though!

“Race is there, and it is a constant,” Stewart said. “You’re tired of hearing about it? Imagine how #ing exhausting it is living it.”

I caught this last night. Watching this thread take off and realizing that the tired of hearing it crowd aren't tired of complaining about hearing it.

Probably what the cop was thinking when he drew his sidearm.

Was their any question of his citizenship?
No.
I would like to see Obama ' s college registration forms. Did he apply with a foreign passport? Nobody will ever see those papers and it has nothing to do with race.
He was elected by a majority that obviously didn't care what color he was. Honkys didnt loot liquor stores after either election.

How long are blacks going to blame whitey for their problems? We have a black president for God sakes. This kid is being made a martyr just like saint trayvon of skittles.
Maybe we should start a program to send these descendants back to the country they were stolen from. First class boat ticket and $500 pocket money. With the promise not to return of course. Then they can build their homeland just like they want it.

9 stars for the "Send them back to Africa" comment.

Yeah, there's no racism, particularly not on ATS.

Nothing you have to say at this point matters to me at all. You lost me at send them back to Africa.

Right! Because questions as to Obama's citizenship weren't based in racism!

Stewart is a fool. Liberal propaganda at its finest.a reply to: Kali74

You did notice that I said promise not to come back,, no you didnt. This would have to be a voluntary program to return people to their homes. I don't think they should be thrown out.
I can honestly say that many are tired of being blamed for events that happened before most of our grandparents were born. The frustration goes both ways.
My daughter have a very good black friend and I treat her like my own kid. So stop using the race card all the time

Well aren't you the humanitarian!

Liberia closes its borders to stop Ebola

But the thing is, 'they' aren't talking about things that happened before your grandparents were born. 'They' are talking about things that are happening in the present.

a reply to: intrptr

Most of the replies in this thread are exactly what Stewart points out.
I think they don't like what they're seeing in the mirror being held in front of them.
