Cops Held Rapper At Gunpoint For “Stealing" His Own Money

[Axulus]

Derec,

Did you know that the drivers on plantations were black?

Drivers were the men who actually did the day to day whipping and watching of the slaves. Simply saying that someone is black is not enough to make them not work for the perpetuation of the white supremacist system.

Why did the majority black voters vote to instill the few black people that exist who would perpetuate a white supremacist system? And if that is the case, aren't the voters just getting what they want?

Derec, axulus et al really cracks me up... If it wherent so sad....

On the bright side, Blac Youngsta has some new inspiration for his next song.

I didn't know that banks were allowed to discuss either their customers or whether or not transactions occurred.

And being a bank manager this feller ought to know that some of the largest depositors look don't look like James Bottomtooth, III. So I am putting this on someone else.

Derec,

If you insist on that rather strained analogy this would apply to the actual rank-and-file cops like the one seen standing above Blac. Police chief and mayor would be more like plantation owners.

Simply saying that someone is black is not enough to make them not work for the perpetuation of the white supremacist system.

When you decide to see everything as "white supremacist system" for ideological reasons ("patriarchy" is similar btw) you refuse to consider any evidence to the contrary. Sad really.

Athena is identifying law enforcement with "white supremacy", a thing I have seen with #BLMers as well.

In reality though, most black voters care about crime just as white voters do. Sometimes mistakes happen and innocent people get detained briefly until identification can be made. Normally not a big deal unless the detained person is somebody with many followers on Twitter. Doesn't matter to people who see everything through the lens of "white supremacy" of course.

Hey, something like this happened to a white guy once, but it was about a robbery... who was it... oh yeah, Henry Fonda. Turned out they had the wrong man. Granted, that happened back when the world was still black and white and hadn't made the transition to color yet.

What ATHENA is doing is pointing out that simply saying that a person is black means that that person cannot be a part of and working for the dominant system and then dropping the mic as if that were enough is insufficient to prove the absence of racism against black people. There would have to be additional context and proof.

But y'all already know that.

Still, must be black supremacy according to Athena's logic. And if the police chief and mayor were white, all the more evidence for it.

The problem is that you assume "white supremacy" and "racism against black people" and demand some sort of evidence to convince you it isn't the case - as if you would accept any evidence anyway.
In reality, claims of racism have the burden of proof. And I have seen no evidence that detention of Blac Youngsta was motivated by racism or "white supremacy".

There would have to be additional context and proof.

There would have to be additional evidence to show that it was somehow "white supremacy" despite evidence to the contrary, such as most levers of power in Atlanta being held by blacks.

Why did the bank manager call the police?

HE WAS A RACIST ASSHOLE...THAT IS WHY. The guy is lucky he is smart enough to not resist too much. They shoots fellers like them quite often. The bank manager did not think a person who looked like that should EVER have $200K. There is something about this particular situation that points toward ALL PLAYERS not being too bright.

I haven't seen any info about the bank manager. Perhaps you can enlighten us all. Is it a white guy, a black guy, black woman, Chinese person? I know its supertrendy to label someone a racist these days without knowing all the facts, but maybe you can take the more reasoned approach and show us some iota of evidence that the bank manager is a non-black person with racist attitudes.

On another angle, this guy withdrew $200,00 IN CASH to buy a car. Who the fuck does that? That to me is pretty suspicious right there regardless of who you are.

I didn't know that banks were allowed to discuss either their customers or whether or not transactions occurred.

The bank spokesperson only said that Benson was not a customer and as such made no withdrawal. She did not divulge whether anyone else in his entourage was a customer or not.

Black slave drivers did not "work" for the dominant system. They were slaves too who acted under direct threat to their own lives.
That is what makes your analogy a total failure and of no relevance to modern contexts of blacks in the highest positions of power who act according to choice and whatever pressure they are under (which is light years from threat of death) is mostly from the "system" of black citizens they oversee who comprise the majority of those who voted to put an keep them in office.

IOW, the facts regarding the context all undermine an explanation of racism, making it far less likely than it might be in other contexts. Thus, raising your burden of evidence that racism was a factor on the part of law enforcement, a burden you haven't provided any evidence at all for.

No, it goes to FinCEN. (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.)

It depends on the transaction. There are all kinds financial transactions that will trigger all kinds of agencies to start all kinds of investigations.

None of which applies to this case. No one is disputing at present the legality of the money or Benson's possession of it.

Reports to FinCEN aren't always criminal. Anyone with substantial foreign bank accounts or investment accounts files reports with them.

This story just isn't adding up for me. Don't know if it's poor journalism or somebody's covering their ass.

See, that is what I thinking. This was a perfect storm of stupid with everyone now trying to fit under an umbrella of denial.
