Why no moral outrage from Jesse and Al?

    Race doesn't have a damn thing to do with this. He's black. She's White. That's it. It was a guy looking for an easy mark and he thought he had one in a 101-year-old woman.
    Why would you waste a brain cell to even throw race into the picture?
    Damn.

    Wow.

    Let me know when I can post the reverse of that here without you splooging in anxiety all over the thread.

    I don't know if you're talking to me, but if you are ... the person who started the thread introduced race into the discussion. I was replying to that aspect. I addressed the other by agreeing with BT. A crime is a crime, and it's good this guy was caught.

    That's what should happen but some nitwits want to build an isolated incident into something that never was. Race was not the issue here. Robbing an elderly woman was. That fucker didn't care if she was 61 or 101. He saw an easy victim.

    Honest question:

    If it was a 101-year-old black woman getting mugged by a 44-year-old white man, do you think Al and/or Jesse would make a public comment?

    I think anyone, including Al and/or Jesse wouldn't condone such a thing. She was white. That's not the issue. She was vulnerable and a pussy took advantage of it. There's no racial issue here. That's like saying what if white people were slaves before being freed by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclimation.

    But the point is not what should happen, boots. The point is, if what wicked says happened, Al and Jesse would be all over TV.

    That is fact.

    We don't know that to be fact. It's a supposition at best.
    Al and Jesse don't speak for black amerikkka. They speak because the media thinks they are the voice of black amerikkka. As long as the media gives them a platform, they are going to perform. People pay attention to them because the media makes people pay attention to them.

    And I won't disagree with that point. But if race doesn't matter (as you're saying it doesn't) then why would they speak in one instance and not the other?

    That's the point of this thread.

    You'd think I would run out of times I could plausibly say this, but this is the dumbest thread I've ever seen on here.

    And that's saying a lot.
