Greta75 -> Pokemon Go is dangerous for Black People? (7/14/2016 1:04:55 AM)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/omari-akil/warning-pokemon-go-is-death-sentence-black-man_b_10946826.html Gist of this article is, if people not familiar with this game. You are suppose to walk around and hunt for virtual animals, and catch them, using a gps map base on real life locations. So they are saying, just even having a black man walking round and round in circles hunting for this virtual animal will get him shot. Is this really true? Already one teenager went to break into a house to catch his virtual pokemon and got shot from the old lady inside mistaking him as a malicious break in. I was just thinking that regardless of race, if a chinese person is like walking around my home vicinity suspiciously up and down. I would observe and suspect the person of something fishy too. It doesn't take race. I reckon if a white person is doing the exact same thing in the US, breaking into people's houses, tresspassing their front lawn, or loitering around their vicinity, in circles, they would be suspects of criminal intent too. If it was at night, worst, white or black, they'll probably get shot. I think this article is being completely again unfair. This dude conclusion is, white people can play this game safely and black people can't.

I can't imagine the 'usual suspects' sources you used to find your way to that article, or that sort of thing in general, but I doubt seriously if more than 20 people in the entire US would ever come across that item in the normal course of events. But this being brought to our attention by a rabid Trump supporter, it could only be considered as a situation of 'like seeking like.'

No idea what you are talking about. This is the left media saying this shit. Super left Huff Post.

What is pokemon, I presume it is something that people with no imagination of their own use, and as in your case Greta, are you stupid enough to believe what you read in the media. GROW UP .

Their online front page looks like it's put together by someone on three different drugs at once. In any case I looked at their site and didn't see the article you were talking about, though your link certainly was from the site. Who cares how 'super left' they are by your estimation? They had three other articles about whatever pokemon game that is, which is stupid enough as it is, but everyone of them only pointed out what idiots there are in the US. One of them fell into a pond, looking for whatever it is they've got the worst idiot adults in the country looking for. So why are you reading such a 'super left' publication anyway? I read most any super left or super right thing I could get ahold of in my early twenties, just to get a sample. It only took two or three samples each to get the gist of it. I can't imagine any mature thinking still reading any of that crap well into adulthood, though you certainly are not alone in that regard. At the end of the day, though, all it's about for you and too many others is the soap opera "World Wide Wrestling' approach to politics.

It's a benign interactive kids computer game. Instead of sitting in front of a computer playing video games, exercise is needed to play the hide and seek game. It's like saying a teddy bear is a T. rex. Can anyone say PARANOID. [8\|]

Hey Greta, I have some ocean front property I will sell you in Colorado for 200 bucks an acre, and to top it off, its a prestigious unicorn farm.

Facts are always a better idea...and honest filter might help

This game is dangerous for everyone.

This dude conclusion is, white people can play this game safely and black people can't. Honey....everything is, in some fashion, bad for blacks. Everything is generationally skewed to fuck them over, and....it's someone else's fault. Jews don't feel this way. Asians don't feel this way. Norwegians don't accept this. If the newspaper reads left to right....it's a conspiracy against them in some fashion. Oddly enough....what I've found (hiring over 38 years every color / every race)...those that work hard....in my organizations and in others I know....do well. Those that don't........... Don't. That simple.

Actually he does have something of a point, many Americans would be VERY nervous if a bunch of black youths started congregating in front of their house, but would only be mildly annoyed if it were a bunch of white hipsters (congregating ironically, of course)..

I would have the cops there if a bunch of people started congregating on my property regardless of their race.

If they were geeky white kids, asian kids or black kids. Dressing nerdy. Then they look less threatening. But you can have like yakuza, white biker gangs or whatever black gangsta looks like. Then I'd freak!

Cinnamongirl67 -> RE: Pokemon Go is dangerous for Black People? (7/15/2016 2:09:25 AM)
I guess it's not so benign when people are walking into semi's. I think I would have an alert go off " I am on an interstate... Big truck...walking on interstate bad. Lol. People stupid. Tripping I could see. Wow never thought about molesters and robbers. People bad, very very bad. Game good. Anyway we solved the problem when my son plays I take a double barrel shot gun with me.[sm=yahoo.gif] Looks like it's best to play in a more rural area and have thick nerd glasses on. P.s. If I saw a kid in my front yard walking around like a robot with a cell phone, I would be amused.

We've decided that we'd rather play Chardonnay Go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fldN-0Ndlv8
