you're trying to put a lot of words in my mouth here while insulting my ability to even have an opinion to begin with. that pretty much makes my point for me at this stage :p

anyway, I don't even have any strong/outrageous opinions on this issue to begin with. you're really grasping at straws if you think my comment about it not just being a bunch of isolated crazies being up to no good but rather a culture of institutionalized racism in some places means there's a conspiracy to kill black people. I didn't even counter the point that there are a lot of good apples to the bad as I generally agree... I moved on to the camera discussion when I came back to the post. But that doesn't mean there isn't fluff that has to be worked out.

reading through the thread again, if anyone is using hyperbole, sensationalism and the incapacity to form a wider view it's been you. you're just not an enjoyable person to converse with. I'm sorry.
