No, perhaps I was unclear. This was not a conspiracy theory documentary, I'm not sure where you got that Idea. The film in question actually won an award at The Sundance Film Festival. Here it is below, just to be more clear. It is actually a very well made piece and if anyone is interested in the effects of US drug policy this is definitely for you. The House I Live In (2012) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125653/ Also, I do not know where you got the notion that drug users do not go to prison but that is just plain false, drug possession is punishable by imprisonment in countless countries the world over. I know you are anti Muslim and anti anything that is not white christian wtv. Hell you are even anti Greek (if they might be left of centre). You can believe anything you desire but please do not pollute a serious topic by purposely trying to derail the flow with out and out lies, if you can be so kind.

The movement is not about abortions or George Soros. This is disinformation. The movement is so simple and plain that in any decent and sane society it would have no need to exist.

Thankfully, you do not speak for white people of your generation.

Ethnikos why do you think the continent of Africa is a mess?

Who made that argument?

Living next to a large black community does not make one an expert on black people. High school experiences are not representative of an entire social sub group. It's not about feeling guilty for being white, it's about acknowledging and addressing a serious and very real problem that millions of people live with daily for their whole lives. I know this will vex many here but the truth is some of you have no idea.

I don't see the relevance. I live in the Americas currently.

The 99% stat is horse poop, and I really doubt that you are a person your black mature people really would consider you their friend if they knew how you felt in your above post.

That is not true, I am not aware what the exact punishments are but sale and possession of cocaine or any drug are certainly not the same. Is that what you understood from the post? Mea culpa.

I was watching a documentary recently, (if you like and can track down the source of the claim), it said that among people who do illegal drugs, Caucasians were more likely to get high than any other group. But prison populations do not reflect that. It could be because whitey is smarter than the rest, it could be because of social affluence or class. Whites live in neighbourhoods where they are not frequently stopped and searched or patrolled heavily. They have maybe dealers who do not operate on the street but do house calls. You might or might not be aware of the discrepancy between sentences for possesion/consumption/distribution of powder cocaine vs crack rock cocaine? These laws are directly the result of a racist legislature, law enforcement agencies and society in general. I don't see why crack should be punished exponentially worse than powder. But these crazy black crackheads are scary, the white college kid, or the stock trader, common, he's a good old boy, don't ruin his life go easy on him.

Chicago and the obscene murder rates there is a whole other issue that is complex enough. We can discuss further if you really want, let me know. I am not for the demonization of police, I think most are good honest people who would like to serve their community and go home in one piece every night. But it does not mean they should be free to shoot away any time they get scared of a black man. There are non lethal methods that can be used surely. But the militarisation of the police is out of control and this is not helping anyone. About people living under the scourge of their own failings, that is a broad and vague statement, but in this context its clear what you mean. It goes back to the Chicago murder rates. People do not (for the most part) choose a life of crime and violence. It is something desperate people or hopelessly poor people with a severe lack of good options or opportunities for a healthy and honest decent life get mixed up in. It is a socio-economic problem. But these are just poor black thugs and ho's right? F*** Tyrone and Teesha. They're all the same, a black guy stole my dad's stereo, I know what I'm talking about. I'm not racist I work with a black guy and we're cool. I base my opinions on what I see, in the news, in the books I've read, by the discrimination I have seen, in person or online. And I get all in my feelings because these things evoke a reaction that should be the same for many I think.

If you guys don't get it, you are just not aware, either by circumstances or by ignorance or by malice. I said it is revolting because I feel that aek66 is more than smart enough to know better, this issue for me is pretty black and white (pun intended), and it not an isolated case it's about any group of people, being treated less than fair, or being judged or stereotyped, or their lives mattering less, due to their skin colour, sexual orientation or identity, religious beliefs etc.

Lazaros Christodoulopoulos ‒ (Now Playing for Aris)
Tzatziki replied to js1000's topic in Greek Players Abroad
I'm surprised he has not been snapped up by a club by now, maybe I have overestimated him by the looks of things, but I think he would be an auto starter on any Greek team. -
Your lack of acknowledgement or semblance of empathy for the plight of black people in America is revolting and truly disheartening.

The way I see it this is a big picture issue. Your own personal experience will obviously have an effect on your paradigm on any issue. Your life experience is not necessarily an the same for millions of others, I think this is a given. On the whole, most people will manipulate any given situation to work for them rather than against them. So yes, criminals will use the race card and play innocent to benefit, but it does not mean every single cop is right and every single person of colour is a gang banging criminal. If you can't admit see abuse of power, racism and murder when it is recorded and on the record for everyone to see, well you're not alone, but you're in some special kind of backward thinking company. I'm not talking about any one specific case in particular like the one you brought up above, but the countless, cases over the last few months where cops are on film shooting people like it's a f.ucking arcade game.

YG's new album getting a lot of praise from critics, have not heard it yet, but this track slaps.

Yup, Ibagaza and Modesto have joined the club staff recently.

Don't waste your time brother, some of our Green friends have a very rare cognitive disorder not too dissimilar from CTE from the years upon years of sfaliares and fapes from the Red Empire. Pray for these kakomirides that medical research might one day find a way to slow down the degeneration of their mental functions, because at this point a cure is no where on the horizon.

3 Coaches already and the season has not even properly begun, what a mess...That being said best of luck to Mr. Bento, you have a hell of a task ahead.

You know that these generalisations are not a fair description of what the reality of the situation is, I think. You gonna hurt your back carrying all that unnecessary baggage.

What would any major player honestly have to gain from Greece besides a place to enjoy the summer months?
