      Yeah, I found the pics pretty quick. Flashing gang signs does show a certain inclination, but doesn't mean he was a member. Lol, and I've now seen different articles say both Crips and Bloods. As for going off topic, this is a pretty broad-topic thread. Nazis and Islamic terrorists definitely belong under the topics of racism and hate. It hardly seems worth starting a whole thread just to get one answer.

      Again, Im not saying he is DEFINITLEY a member of this specific gang or that specific gang. My point I am trying to make is the difference between how he is shown in the media and how he was in real life. Also, if you want to talk about a new subject, I'd be glad to debate or answer any questions you have in a pm or new thread, but I'd like to stay on this topic as long as we are in this thread, as someone told me getting off topic is against the rules.

      Yeah, it's bizarre how similar this is to the Trayvon Martin case, isn't it? The mainstream media presents the guy as a blameless little angel and it turns out not to be the case at all, and in both cases, Unarmed seems to be a part of his name judging by the fact that it's always associated with him, but it seems both tried to get the weapon of the law enforcement officer (/neighborhood watch officer) to use against him and did severe damage to his head. How do the race hustlers choose which cases they're going to champion? But I suppose if their real agenda is to incite racial hatred then this is all working in their favor.

      And as I said, it really isn't off topic - the thread title includes the words Racism and Hate and the original post was very broad in scope, not just about Ferguson, though that was what sparked it.

      You know what - strike that. I'll start the thread and link it from here.

      Transgender rights is a non-issue. I could just as easily find cherry picked comment about blacks wanting to kill innocent whites. The real discrimination in the western world is against whites.
