racism was becoming slowly becoming better in this country and it all went back to **** when the ripple effect of George Zimmerman happened IMO

No, it always existed in the shadows. The likes of George Zimmerman, Donald Trump, etc. empowered them.

this. we just thought it was getting better. but your facebook and twitter timelines showed you what was up once people starting posting about Zimmerman, Trump, Ferguson, etc....
 
We are as well off as we've ever been. If we were given the choice of what era we would like to live in, it would have to be this one. People are living longer, a lot of the diseases of yesteryears have been eradicated. Communication has become instantaneous. We live in a globalized society where we know more about the rest of the world than we ever have. Name me another era where we "had it better."

Yup. This argument is never easy, especially if you whittle it down to a single negative topic, or a single group that is being treated unfairly, etc. But we are far and away as better off as we have ever been and there is no other generation that's even close for what you would want to be living in.

We are living longer, medicine is better, developing countries poverty is way down, crime is way down, law system is better (although still needs work), gender equality is up (although still needs work), and global charity work is at all-time highs.

Everything gets magnified right now because of the internet, and there still are terrible people out there and wars that continue to go on.

Get off social media, I have never been on it and that does wonders honestly.
 
i just pray that this world is better when my daughter is old enough...**** is scary out here man. 

i just wish the best now for her and her's

too much realness. its every parents wish to see their little ones live in a better world than one did. i still hope that the day will come. maybe not in our lifetime but one day.
 
Zimmerman, and to a lesser extent, Casey Anthony getting off. I can't believe that slunt got off. :{

Ferguson is what really broke me. People were pissed about protests when they just wanted a trial. Not guilty or innocent, just let the man stand trial. The law didn't even bother. That really crushed me.

I know when the shooting happened, my college campus got TENSE. Being in South GA at the time, you had extremist on both sides of the argument. 
 
^ well that and this whole trump mess.. you had a lot of folks who just couldn't wait for their opportunity to voice certain opinions

talking about the folks you cant even have the conversation of what CERTAIN law enforcement without them listing some BS statistic or making it an attack on all

even had that crazy conservative chick (that is hot) come with this mess on keep:

Tomi LahrenVerified account @TomiLahren 14h14 hours ago

Before he was sitting and self-righteous, your boy #Kaepernick was dropping racial slurs. Thoughts?



or you got this guy:

No idea how Colin Kaepernick survived a childhood this rough.

who also said:

There is a 100% chance that Demarcus Cousins is arrested for something in the next five years. 100%. Write it in stone.

Exactly.
 
See what happens when we stop posting wrestling gifs in here? We actually engage in intelligent conversation.
 
The Stanford swimmer dude. 3 ******* months. I can't grasp how a judge can do that, and a senator, governor, mayor, president, McDonalds manager, SOMEBODY, say naw, naw fam. See you in 10.

3 months. :{

it's bigger than that.. you have incident after incident

like dude who got shot in the car in front of his daughter that his girl recorded the video.. it's just incident after incident.. and then you have things that don't make it big.. but you'll randomly just hear about when you're reading about similar incidents

then you got stuff like what happened with the Stanford swimmer

Rodney Harrison done took too much roids and hits to the head. How can you not obviously see Kaep is mixed. :lol

I really agree with this

Nah. Before Trayvon it was Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, before that Rodney King. Racism was never getting better.

You don't need social media to see that even with all the good, there is a lot of darkness that people don't show until they have others with them to allow them to

The mental health worker that got shot a couple weeks ago trying to defend the little kid with a toy truck STILL has me speechless. The guy told the police the situation repeatedly throughout the standoff, and he STILL got shot.... and when asked why he shot, the cop said "I don't know"

to go back to kaep's point, horrific event after horrific event continue to happen.. one would think that you have insurmountable evidence against these guys with all the visual evidence being provided

sure I could get where it's a situation of he said she said and someone's word against someone else's.. and you have multiple cops covering for each other

but now, with technology.. everyone with a phone has video and/or pictures

but that still isn't stopping anything.. or at the very least causing there to be ramifications for their actions, which would at least cause some sort of thought amongst those people to prevent that sort of thing from happening in the future

but as keep said, these guys are getting paid leave and/or slaps on the wrist

like I remember one incident where the police officer got paid more from the city than the victim of what he did.. and he was just restricted from working in that particular city again, that's it

I mean for the current generation they really weren't familiar with those shooting and incidents. The Trayvon shooting IS their Rodney King.

it really is. incident after incident. and the pattern is clear.

and ducking from social media i don't think is the answer. people need to see AND realize what they're seeing. ignoring it or staying oblivious to it isn't the answer. yes, it's full of a lot of fluff and garbage, sure. but it's also full of a lot of stuff that needs to be seen.

You're going to have to enlighten me how my "head is in the sand" like I don't know this.
