this.

But the next time we see a liberal with a sense of humor will be the first time. Its why they are perpetually offended by everything.

Well it's pretty hard not to be offended by this when in fact, cops have been shooting black people.
But the suspect was white. Why would a white person be offended? No harm, no foul.

They have not been shooting white people?

Of course they have. The media just doesn't cover it. They don't cover it much when a Black officer shoots a Black person either. Studies show that Blacks aren't any more likely to be shot.

Even if that is the case, one cannot take these events out of context. The context being the history of this country and how minorities have been treated.

You cannot oppress a people for 200 years and then expect people to just get over it.

Why is it that we are constantly reminded to never forget 9/11 or the Holocaust but when it comes to slavery everyone wants America to just get over it?

Well, slavery has been gone for 150 years and Jim Crow for 50 years. There is nothing for blacks under the age of 50 to "get over." Remembering something is different than claiming victimhood for your ancestors. I haven't seen many Jews claiming oppression lately.
My ancestors village was raided 1,243 years ago. Phucking Vikings. The NFL should make em change their names.

If context of a statement matters as you apply it shouldnt the op be banned due to the thread title?

Nah. If the context of a statement bothers you as much as some posters on here are bothered by this bad joke then what needs to happen is they need to reevaluate their lives and figure out at what point they lost self-esteem enough that words bother them.

Moving on!

Of course it's insensitive but you can't let everything offend you. It was a poor choice of words and he should have been disciplined for it by making a faux public apology but it's stupid he had to retire over it. Granted, after 31 years, that makes sense.
