How about showing you can speak smart language?No but I can speak the stupid language if need be.
I do it all the time. Perhaps you don't understand it.

How about READ the responses to your posts, m'kay? It isn't a conversation if you just walk into the room, blather on, and then just walk out.
You should be angry.. what has been pointed out to several people before, including yourself, is that Derec QUOTED THE COUSIN OF THE BURGLER.
THE BURGLER THAT GOT SHOT... HIS FAMILY.... THEY SAID THJOSE WORDS.. VERBATUM.
You SHOIULD be angry... for the same reasons that Derec is angry... because those are horrible words THAT WERE SAID BY THE PIECES OF SHIT THAT ARE DEFENDING HIM.
You on the right page now?
That you can't get what's wrong with this thread title is a pretty good indication that I'd be wasting my time by engaging you about it.
Needless to say, if Derec wants people to respect him he should consider not being an asshole all the time.
Making fun of an under-privileged, under-educated family who's defending their family member who got shot by a citizen of your insane country is sign of being a prick.
I presumed the lack of privilege was inherent in the dude feeling the need to burglarize someone else
and the thread title indicating that they don't have money.
Who else here is unaware that the "privileged", black girl in the photo was the one who literally said, "how he gonna get his money" in response to why he robbed that woman?
Anyone? anyone?
Does ANYONE in this thread actually know anything about this case, or is there nothing left of this board but a bunch of SJW kneejerks that have no ability to reason?
If you haven't seen the video of this person speaking, either do so, or fuck off because you don't know what the fuck you are talking about (as usual).

fucking READ. what a dumbass response. What part about, "the thead title was a quote" are you incapable of understanding?
Prove you should not be completely ignored by any and all posters on this board by repeating in a reply to this post the following:
"I understand that the title of this thread was taken as a direct quote from what the criminal's cousin said to justify his robbing people, and I apologize for Derec for responding without even bothering to read anything about it".
You have until the end of the weekend, and then you shall be ignored (possibly by many people here that are uninterested in uninformed "non-responses" from thoughtless people).
Being a quote makes it fair game when discussing attitudes of some people toward crime.Yea, it being a quote is the entire point of me ridiculing it.
Well "privilege" is such an oft misused work that it is perhaps best avoided.Actually, the person you show here, which I assume you just randomly picked off of Google images, might lead a perfectly privileged life. 'Having Little' is not the equivalent of being under-privileged.
I would say the late Trevon probably had a lot more options than the hut dweller. He could have looked for work. He could have gone to (community) college. He did not have to burgle houses.Privilege has to do with options. People who live in a society that's obsessed with wealth but who live on the bottom rung of the socio-economic ladder don't have options. They can't get good jobs because of their socio-economic status and often times their race. In terms of quantity they might have more than someone living in Africa, but in reference to the world that they actually live in they're destitute and actually pretty confined. Add to that the perceived poverty of rich people flashing their shit all over the media and you get a situation where people believe their situation is dire and so do things like commit burglary.
So privilege == knowing things aren't so bad?Maybe if these people had a more privileged life they'd be able to recognize that things aren't so bad, but that's kind of the point, they aren't and so don't.
I would probably argue with you about it if I had the foggiest what your definition of privilege is.In any case I don't care about arguing with you about the definition of privilege,
I am not belittling her for being on the "lower end of the socio-economic ladder". She doesn't even appear to be that low on that ladder to be honest.the point is that belittling people who are on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder is typically not a good idea.
She doesn't seem to need a hand up. If she is hard pressed for cash, maybe she should skip the hair appointment next time.Give them a hand up, don't be a fucking cunt.
And your public posts make them fair game for deconstructing the bigotry and nastiness out of them.Being a quote makes it fair game when discussing attitudes of some people toward crime.Yea, it being a quote is the entire point of me ridiculing it.
Please, how about showing you can speak smart language?How about showing you can speak smart language?

Nothing to indicate a particular lack of privilege. Particularly, there is nothing to indicate they are so desperate that their family members need to resort to breaking in.All I see here is a picture of two women, nothing really to indicate privilege,
People should live within their means. If that doesn't include hair styling appointments or make up or false lashes (?), so be it. It is not a justification for burglary. Beauty services are not a necessity. Neither are Adidas warm up jackets.unless you don't believe in poor people being allowed to purchase and wear make-up.
No, him feeling the need to burglarize someone else could be simply due to a sense of entitlement. The thread title is about him "getting his money", it it no way shows that they don't have enough for their needs. Photos of Trevon show him sporting bling.I presumed the lack of privilege was inherent in the dude feeling the need to burglarize someone else, and the thread title indicating that they don't have money.
What bigotry? What nastiness?And your public posts make them fair game for deconstructing the bigotry and nastiness out of them.
This is largely a matter of simple minds not accepting the complexity of human situations and not making the slightest effort to understand what is happening in the lives of others. Somebody quoting somebody who is nameless and faceless does not actually constitute "fair game" to people who are not in the business of playing games. So many of us here seem to revel in the pathos of their enemies, using it to justify inhumane attitudes toward them. It is because we fail to recognize it is that very pathos that is making the enemy relation a reality. We can, if we want, to always justify about anything we do, no matter how wrong it may be, no matter how cruel it may be and use about any pretext including one like the OP. It proves nothing except that we are capable of pathological behavior using our emotional frustration as our justification. The thief is totally in the wrong, but his actions are in response to other wrongs. We are not very good at picking a path and a set of behaviors that minimizes the overall pathos of the situation. That would require a little empathy...a little logic...and a will to have better outcomes from our interactions with our fellow men. Is that too much trouble? Is that too hard to do? The answer to both of these questions is in my opinion NO.
You think those were "two random women" right? You have no idea that one of them is the robber's family member that literally said those exact words that make up the thread topic, do you?
The thief is totally in the wrong, but his actions are in response to other wrongs.
I suspect he's mocking AA speech patterns.

OK I got what you are saying... all prisons are filled with victims only. no one is responsible for their own actions. everything is a consequence of someone else's failure to do something differently.
Got your point.
...and dismissing it, immediately, as a bunch of liberal SJW bullshit.
I suppose you are on the side of Nautika Harris (see directly above).. you support her views here fully, correct?
The thief is totally in the wrong, but his actions are in response to other wrongs.
