    Did you ever wonder why "disbarred" doesn't mean "thrown out of prison for misconduct"? :unuts:

    You mean like the way the Black Panthers posted up in front of a Philadelphia polling location in 2008 in a blatant attempt to intimidate voters and the DOJ investigation was dropped by Eric Holder during the Obama administration?

    Meanwhile, non white protestors are dealt with in a far more expeditious manner...

    They're afraid the oil might pollute the sacred lake built by the Army Corps of Engineers.

    actually, they're trying to defend the underground water supply (aquifer)that feeds water sources for about 5 states...

    keep misrepresenting and minimizing the issue though... reinforces the lack of need to take you seriously.

    But they're perfectly happy with rail cars spilling ten times as much oil in that same aquifer. :dayton:

    The verdict was dumb, the race baiting some people are doing here is even worse.

    That's called "reality". The oil is currently moving on rail cars that not infrequently derail. Until the pipeline is complete the oil will continue to by train. On those North Dakota rails travel about 600,000 barrels of oil per day.

    You'd have to be a special sort of blind to not see the obvious difference in how different racial groups with different politics are being treated by both the police and the courts. :shrug:

    If by "special" you mean "completely," then I agree with you.

    Yes, that different sort of blind is "no race based comment can ever point out racism". That's how he maintains he's not a bigot. :yes:

    People who obsess about race are likely racists. You obsess about race.

    It is called jury nullification. There is very clear evidence they conspired but the jurors say they do not see a conspiracy and the bullets do not matter. Translation: we like them so we will just say not guilty and have the only opposing jurist removed.

    It is small town bullshit. You can get away with it in certain places because the jury pool is not diverse, and possibly fixed. If they did it in a more culturally diverse location like a crowded blue state they would never find enough solid white trash to make jury nullification a possibility.

    Chup is not a racist, he is a classist. Chup looks down on the lower class because they are the lower class. It is just a coincidence there are a lot of black ones. He looks down on poor white people in the same way, and he would certainly pay his respects to a black person who had gained status and wealth in society. He is also narcissistic and arrogant so he thinks he is better than everyone. That is not racism, that is being a pretentious snob.

    That's a logical fallacy.

    And calling you out as a bigot does not equate to "obsessing about races". :jayzus:

    I've always admitted to being a snob. So thinking you're trolling me with it isn't going to have much effect...and given that I was born working class it's a bit silly to say I look down on poor people.

    You know, I have to laugh. Since you've been here, how many posts and looooooonnnnnng rambles have you devoted to analysing me and others without really knowing a lot about us? Countless, and those are just the ones I bothered to read. If there's one person who is judgemental above all others, it's you! :lol:

    Except it hasn't worked since the day you started labouring away at it. Why are you taking credit for me disagreeing with a mod decision? What role did you play in that? :unuts:

    Here's the thing about this: It isn't like yesterday some Eeevil Oil Company Fatcat woke up and said "I think I'm going to build an oil pipeline." This was years and years in the works. There were public comment periods, meetings, environmental impact statements, permits. All that happened with nary a peep. Then, after the decision had been made, suddenly it's a big deal and can't be allowed. Tough. Should have said something when you had your chance.

    It's like people who worry about getting shot while in a room full of gun toting extremists. What's to obsess about? When has anyone ever been harmed because of their race?

    I don't know if that's entirely true... WHile I agree that he'd treat his socio-economic peers with due courtesy and without regard to race, I don't think he's one to dismiss those of us occupying lower strata based simply on that measure.

    Chup's one of the few forgers I'd likely meet up with if he was in my city, and I'm probably in the bottom 10% of the WF 500.
