First it was Aunt Jemima. Now it’s Uncle Ben. Both are being renamed.

What I don't understand is.. why did the bf who knew police was knocking AND then opened the door and fired a gun?

What possible wrong doing would a guy open the door, whether it was a quick OPEN + CLOSE and fire, or open.. had a chat with the cops and pulls out a gun.

Again, maybe I didn't read the entire article, but something doesn't add up.

It's America its crazy, like this case

Officer claims he followed a guy cuz he thought he was speeding (he doesn't have radar) followed him all the way to a convenience store.

Officer ran the guys plates, and the cars owner has a warrant out, officer decides to arrest the driver, and ends up beating the driver in the head several times bcuz the officer claims the driver balled his fists.

officer ends up breaking his own hand on the driver's face, and charges the driver with assaulting a police officer (for his broken hand) and resisting arrest.

Judge dismisses the resisting arrest charge, but decides the assaulting an officer charge is deserving of a trial

Only just saw this story, agreed its not the best way to garner attention to your movement. As an aside, I never knew the rock was painted white, thought that was natural

Painting a white painted rock black looks good to me. They should leave it, or sandblast the whole thing if it's an issue

It’s called white rock, not Caucasian rock. Tearing down and defacing statues of slave owners in America I get. This is a rock.

Painting a rock of any color should be considered graffiti. :lol

Anyhow, the city should've considered embracing it and said we'll paint the rock black for X time. You fend off the vandals and make a social statement. Win for everyone. And c'mon, we're talking about a rock that gets painted on a monthly basis anyways.

Butt, but, it's a sacred first nations rock.

It was put there by the gods......... took 10,000 raven to drop it off there. All kidding aside, the boulder was deposited there from a long gone glacier. The white was from the bird shit........... I shit you not!


Now it's going to take another 1001 years for the seagulls to shit on it to keep it right.

huh? caucasian rock?

Almost looks like the guy tried painting it black with a sharpie and gave up part way :lol

I think what he meant was

"White" Rock as in the colour, white, as opposed to "White" Rock as in a "white man's rock. Hence caucasian rock.


White is right and wrong is wong........... a coworker at the fish plant used to say to my buddy who's last name was Wong............. or was it Wong is wrong. BTW, the guy's last name really was White, so it really wasn't a racial comment............ or was it?

I do not agree on painting the rock. No difference than someone vandalizing properties. Where do we draw the line, do we paint BLM on art pieces, do we paint free HK protestors (done on the mermaid at Stanley Park), / Falungong etc ....

I think we have to be careful about bad actors within the political movement here.

How do we not know that the person who did this was a bad actor looking to make black lives matters look bad to a community of mostly white people?

Historically the rock itself has no alignment to a racist ideal, so I think it's silly to paint it black or anything else, the damn city is named White Rock :lol

I have a feeling this is simply a bad actor trying to stir up a counter reaction, as usual.

Ahaha... right, when the "protest" makes BLM looks bad you believe that it's a bad actor.

And all the looting and rioting is perfectly justifiable.

Gotta love the lefties... such a double standard.

Is Jussie Smollett considered a bad actor (not referring to the silver screen)?

The hell are you talking about?

Have you not seen the videos of looters? They're primarily white kids. Have you never heard of the concept of agent provocateur? There have been many reports of protests where masked men are running around creating chaos for the purpose of de-legitimizing a cause.

You're so damn simple minded in your arguments that you act as if there aren't reports detailing this very thing. The very practice is as old as time, the same tactics were used during the civil rights era by police and the FBI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

Give me a fucking break, how is that a double standard? We don't know the person who defamed the bloody rock, no groups have taken credit for it.

If this wasn't a bad actor, then the person is a fool for doing such a thing in the name of BLM. They're directing their ire at a tourist attraction that has nothing to do with civil rights.

I's consider him an opportunist. Guess what? He's a fool, his actions affected no one but himself.

On the other hand, the countless white men and women who have committed crimes, or claimed crimes were committed against them, while blaming a black man for doing it are innumerable.

But yes, lets talk about Jussie Smollett, an actor that the black community have vilified and essentially cancelled for his ridiculous actions. You people are so damn predictable with these tired ass arguments.

There’s idiots on both sides. As of right now since we know nothing, it’s a 50/50 split. Either way it was stupid and ill-thought out

Are you for real?

I just typed in BLM looting on youtube... these are the first 3 results:




I can't say I don't see caucasian in there, but minorities definitely make up the majority.

The problem is that you lefties are nothing but opportunists. No one is willing to take any responsibility whatsoever.

When looting happened, and the general consensus is kinda letting such action slide (as in acceptable), you come out saying all the lootings are justifiable and a way to make your voice heard.

Now someone paints the fucking White Rock's rock, and the majority of posts seem to be condemning the action, the best thing you can come up with is they are "bad actors" and nothing to do with BLM?!?

You can't have the cake and eat it too. If you are going to justify the lootings and riotings, you'd have to take the White Rock graffiti too.

Oh... I'm sorry... but it makes the BLM looks bad... it doesn't fit the BLM's narrative... so it definitely got nothing to do with BLM.

Got it... :thumbsup:

Christ stop calling everyone you disagree with a "lefty" it makes you seem like a tool.

No, the black teenager from the ghetto is not a "lefty" because he joined a riot. He probably doesn't even know what the political spectrum is

That's the concept he's not getting.

I've broken it down for him numerous times here.

Fuck, remember the riots and looting during the 2011 Stanley Cup finals in Vancouver.

Some idiot kids broke some stuff, including the infamous Asian kid with the hockey stick, so I guess I'll use his same monolithic mentality and say Asian kids are violent opportunists, and that the Canucks and NHL should be blamed for inciting a riot in Vancouver. See how stupid that sounds?

This guy man :lol

Look at this douchenozzle waiting to catch something with his ...wait for it...LEFT HAND!

Damn lefties ruining Vancouver again :lol

Lol. This photo makes my heart skip a beat every single time I come across it because I think its me. I looked nearly identical to this guy during that time and have had more than 3 friends ask me.

So we're still comparing a national months long rolling riot that's left dozens dead and cost over a billion in damages to a sports riot that lasted a few hours and was contained to a single city?
Alrighty then :lol
