we have to call them something other than angry humans, they might get even more violent if we say nigger, let's replace it accordingly

you feeling black folks have to be labeled negatively for fucking shit up (especially given our historic treatment) is sort of troubling

that bit about these "thugs" being human is contradicted by your need to label them "accurately"

I dont even want to know what you think the right response to Freddie Gray's murder should have been, I fear you'll reference MLK Jr.
