Recently an unarmed 29-year-old African American, Tyre Nichols, was brutally beaten to death by five Black Memphis police officers. They were charged with murder. All belonged to a special crime unit known as the Scorpions.
Both the victimizers and victim were Black. The Memphis police chief is Black. The assistant police chief is Black.
Nearly 60 percent of the police force is Black. The white population of Memphis is about 25%.
The now-disbanded Scorpion unit of mostly Black officers was created as a response to grassroots appeals to stop spiraling crime in mostly Black neighborhoods. The death of Tyre Nichols could be attributed to many things: a basic lack of humanity

Yep. Way too much black out there hell bent on killing each other. The remaining whites in these corrupt big blue cities should rent a U-Haul and head South. Let these folks stew in their own juices. These cities cannot be fixed.

Now we read (and Memphis prosecutors confirm) investigation into whether Tyree was messin' with one of the cop's ex-.. Sometime is just doesn't pay to mess around.

The story that Nichols was having an affair with the wife of one of the officers, at least bears investigation. If true you have a motive and a lot of things fall into place.

I haven't completed this yet. But by capitalizing "Black" throughout, VDH seems to play the same "or else" game by the same rules.

A specific hit on Nichols for something personal is looking like it's possible. It would explain the officers not asking for ID or registration when they first pulled him over. It would explain Nichols being pulled out of the car and the police immediately start beating him. It would explain the police never trying to handcuff Nichols even when they had his hands behind his back.

If it wasn’t a personal hit over a woman, then it was simply the same black on black murder that we see by the dozens in demonrat run cities every weekend.
More blacks were killed by other blacks in the US last year than all of the black US military killed in the Middle East wars since 2001.

Go ahead. Get a job as a cop. See if you can get in your 20 for a pension without doing 20 in prison instead.

Soon after this happened, an L.com poster suggested there might be a personal edge to this story. Now we're seeing what that might surely have been.

No matter what the real story is that finally comes out, there will be statues erected to this idiot and there will probably be a holiday in his name...meantimes, homes and businesses will burn and people will die in his name.

This race racket will never end until we--the "not blacks" decide to tell the racial grievance hustlers and grifters, "Who cares?" Call me a racist, it means NOTHING to me. Accuse me of "racism," I don't care. It is only when the victims of the race hustling industry finally understand that they are being played for suckers and they quit playing the game that it will finally come to an end. Ironically, we should adopt as our mascot and hero Homie D Clown, who rose to fame by repeating, "Homey don't play that game."

Blacks MUST blame all negative events on mythical racism because to do otherwise would require the black community to understand and recognize their own societal flaws.

Abortion and unmitigated inner city poverty, corruption and murders. How the racist dims have kept the black population at less than 15% for decades.

#5 and #6: I always capitalize "black" when referring to "face" (whatever that is), but I also always capitalize "white" in the same circumstances, too.
Lousy words that can't be defined but everybody "knows" what they mean, just like "Hispanic" and "Asian-Americans". (You realize, of course, that people from Afghanistan, who are generally of White Indo-European descent, come from Central Asia, therefore, here in the US of A, they are "Asian-Americans".)

Oh, is my capitalizing of "white", as mentioned above, considered "uppity"?

They are beating your children on school buses and murdering ER doctors on the street. How much are we expected to take? How long do we sit by and not react?
