Back in the day the author used to hang out with his buddies Peter (aka Play) and Bilal. Used to get his butt kicked daily but Stabb, Pee-Wee and Zilla. Couldn't seal the deal with Sydney in high school because he carried an old "Jimmy".

Considering the murder rates in a Chicago or a Baltimore, one thing for sure is black people are not afraid to watch other black people die.

RE: Are We Afraid to Watch White People Die?
I make a point of not watching videos on Youtube or anywhere else that shows actual killings. This prohibition on my part transcends the race, creed, religious or sexual orientation of the victim(s). The bigger question I would ask and write about is: WHY would anyone seek out a video showing someone being killed in real life? On second thought, maybe seeking out these videos isn't that big of a deal after all since it was common place for people to watch executions in the town square back in the day. To quote stink - "Oh wellsy"...

RE: Are We Afraid to Watch White People Die?
Having had to watch many videos, some very graphic, of deaths as part of my professional training I have absolutely no desire to watch any on my own time.

Luckily most of the videos I have seen are strictly controlled and not publicly available because I would hate to think that there are people out there that get enjoyment out of watching what is essentially an u close and personal snuff film.

So you educate yourself on what actually happened in those incidents? Hearing a secondhand representation of a video isn't the same as seeing it itself.

When he is wrong, i tell him he is. We was wrong on the claims he made in the thread concerning the recent shooting, and I said as much. Just like you and the thread concerning the military and it's history with 'social experiments'.

this scumbag..is indicating that people are comfortable watching balcks die in videos...but not whites....

Of course that POS that shot those people in the church didn't upload a POV video or do it on live tv...thus making the video that much more unpleasant.


But this writer just wnats top go all in racial... Thus the POS label. 04-cheers
