heh, I mean any issue where a cop kills an unarmed black person.
I agree classicism is a problem that affects racism but it is a separate one.
racism affects people who are affected by classicism two fold... and to be honest, classicism is like waay bigger of an issue.. trying to fix that over fixing racist ass cops is putting the cart before the horse. Although I would love for it to be fixed dont get me wrong!
What it really what it comes down to to me is, I'm not asking to pick one to try to fix before the other or either fix one at all. What I ask is for people to accept responsibility and admit that they are some racist ass mo fo's on varying levels, even if they ride a recumbent bike in Berkeley California. Instead of always saying, 'race isn't an issue, or the issue...'
It's always the damned issue, hell we still watch TV'shows from an era where we had segregated bathrooms... how can we expect that race still isn't a huge damned issue?
wutever, im a swj white knight butwhocares. Shits fucked up!
I like EQ & startrek.

I honestly don't think you know what classism actually is. What about the idea that removing ability to treat all non-wealthy, and/or non-white, and/or non-heterosexual, and/or non-male and/or non-christian people as second class citizens do you not agree with?

If i were to ask for one thing though to fix a problem, I would ask to fire racist cops, like if the poster, P99 was a cop, I would say, fire that cop! He is predisposed to hurt innocent black people.

I agree, though I would also make an effort to remove those in higher positions of power that are the real source of the corruption, not to mention the need to raise the bar on the hiring process. Law enforcement is supposed to lead by example.
