Crime Family of White man wrongfully accused by activist Shaun King in Jazmine Barnes' shooting speaks out

[Staph infection]

My point is that while cultural elements (like black / ghetto subculture) will certainly have an impact, I simply don't believe in race as a helpful construct. In most cases, cross-racial attacks will not be motivated by racial hatred but by much simpler motives (e.g. robbieries will usually be triggered by the desire to have something that you don't have and then identifying a target you believe has that).

If you correct for demographic and economic factors, you may still have a disparity (I am not aware of the US figures), but the majority of the difference will likely be driven by poverty and social surroundings rather than race.

Threrefore my point is, the correct answer would be to say "Oh ffs get out with that race baiting" instead of "Ha, Blacks do it worse!"

So blacks are targeting whites because they have more stuff? That should be a hate crime because they are targeting a specific race.

 

[Lvnvmma]

Actually, black people are targeting Asians more and more nowadays. Rappers even write songs about it. There's one that specifically instructs on how to do a home invasion on an Asian family, complete with a music video and all.

 

[Amerikuracana]

That’s Shaun White....racist

No you're wong..

Oops, now I'm racist too.

 

[Amerikuracana]

If you'll notice the political orientation of the posters, you'll quickly realise all of the discussion on Shaun King/Dolezal, trannies and most race/LGBT stuff are almost started by right wingers.

Prob cos it's easier to have a circle jerk with a bunch of angry dudes, which they love more than anything else.

Yeah.. The lefties bury their head in the sand about the things that makes their side insane at times. Shocking they wouldn't want to highlight their glaring weaknesses.

So are we obsessed with identity politics as often proclaimed, or burying our heads in the sand because we don't want to acknowledge it?

It can't be both.

 

[ultramanhyata]

does anyone actually respect this guy?

I had zero awareness of him until this story broke. But now, in doing a little reading, I find it amazing that the entire basis of this guy's claims to being African American is his own statement that his white mom told him his biological father was a "light-skinned black man".

Every single member of King's family and extended family throughout his upbringing were white people. He wasn't one of these biracial kids (like some I have known) who spend some time mixing with the white side of their family and some time mixing with the non-white side.

Yet this dude speaks with a black cadence. It is what I would define as the "educated" black cadence, but it is a black cadence nonetheless. That alone really sets off the bullshit detector in my head.

The official policy stance is identity politics obsession, and non-white male "protection;" the tactic of the average, level headed good-intentioned liberal, is to ignore much of what is becoming official policy.

Official policy written by Shaun King, Dolezal and the trannies?

"It's the official policy stance of the group, but most of the persons in the group don't subscribe to the stance."

Checks out.

Naw.. You guys perform mental gymnastics to stay in the tribe. That's all.

beige man bad...

No....we are obsessed about identity politics and talk about it all the time...while also burying our head on identity politics and not talking about it.

We are so gymnastically talented.

He didn't articulate it particularly well, but I don't see anything contradictory with his statement.

Liberals generally want to make everyone happy - a noble cause - but the ideologies of many of the groups that they back often contradict one another. For instance liberals want to fight the patriarchy and rid of "toxic masculinity", "rape culture", and such, but also back groups such as Muslims and black males where that same patriarchy and its related issues are the strongest. Instead of addressing that these issues exist in even higher saturation in Muslim and black communities they are often ignored or excused for their behavior, which is why liberals are often accused by others for "burying their heads in the sand" regarding identity politics within minority communities while still being very vocal about identity politics within the white community.

To point this out isn't an attack on liberals necessarily, it's more an issue with people downplaying or ignoring inconsistencies in their stances because it doesn't fit their narrative that fits in a "one-size-fits-all" group such as liberal, conservative, progressive, libertarian etc. with a boogeyman that can be pinpointed as the root of all our problems (white men, liberals, big government, etc.). I think liberals/progressives are the most guilty group in doing this because they are juggling more diverse/dissimilar opinions, but everyone does this.

I mean besides Microbrew...

seriously, libs, leftists...do you actually pay heed to Shaun King?

I think the young turks hired him and other outlets.

He gets mad when a black student calls him out and tells him Don Lemmon of CNN called him Rachel Dolezal 2.0

 

[Mr Holmes]

No. Well, not as a journalist, thinker, or social leader. He's definitely not a grifter, and I do think that he's written some illuminating stuff on the black experience and on his personal experiences as a biracial person. But he's simply not a very effective social critic, and, as would seem to be on display here, he far too often overextends himself to play into the social media instant-outrage game. If he did call out this wrongly accused man personally (I only see him forwarding reports of a suspect being a bearded white man), he should be condemned and forced to acknowledge.

Apparently he tweeted this:

What more can you tell me about Robert Cantrell?

He was arrested in Houston hours after Jazmine was murdered on another violent crime spree.

We’ve had 20 people call or email us and say he is a racist, violent asshole and always has been.

Just tell me everything you know. pic.twitter.com/7p1XAku1cd

But its been deleted, so I can't confirm.

can you post it?

 

[all caps]

Accuses a white man of killing a black girl, the mob threatens this white ex cons family with death threats, turns out the killers were black guys, deletes tweets as if it was no big deal.

How does this clown still get hired, any news agency or magazine that hires him already loses credibility, even transracial Rachel Dolezal his female counterpart wouldn't race bait and spread division like this, she just wanted to be black and help the hood. this guy has a vendetta against his dead beat redneck white father or something, probably why he hates his own blood so bad and wants to continue lying about being black and refuse a dna test when called out by several black journalists to take one.

Article claims Shaun King the fake black guy, doesn't really care about black lives
Opportunistic Outrage
Anger about comparatively rare white-on-black hate lets advocates ignore a far more pervasive reality.

Anti-cop activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect.

As it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had nothing to do with his activism.

It’s worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.

A sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and seventeen.

In 2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016 who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville 22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.

Why did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the 2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society. The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal, resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a white supremacist symbol, from official sites.

As for interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it. Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, excluding homicide, between blacks and whites, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on whites, while whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

If Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on American streets.

That tweet is really unbelievable.

But that guy, who is actually instigating stalking and violence on people (innocent or otherwise) gets to keep his account.

Someone try and tell me this shit isnt all being orchestrated.

i guess the robbery thing might be plausible but what about what Hard To Tell said about murders,assaults, and rapes? Around 7-8 years ago I read DOJ statsitics that said that African Americans were slightly less likely than Whites to commit serious violent crimes against latinos, despite being a fraction of the white population. I read a recent one and now African Americans are more likely than whites to commit serious violent crimes against latinos.I think if those were disproportionately white on black and increased over a short period of time, most liberals would assume a racial motive as they did in this case, but in cases with African American perpetrators , white liberals give African Americans the benefit of the doubt.

 

[RoosterHucklebuck]

And after all of his bullshit and race baiting, he is being hailed as a hero for catching the real killers.
