Edward C. Lawson was ahead of his time.
we all have access to the FBI and Justice Department crime stats.
he had to go thru some SHIT to get it 25 years ago.
and he was just as right then as he would be right now.

Any white person that starts a sentence saying...I don't think I'm prejudice/racist and etc.....it's always something bad following it.

Racism isn't a belief brother. Its a system and practice.
Between March 1975 and January 1977, Lawson was detained approximately fifteen times, as a pedestrian or as a diner in a cafe, and asked to present identification; some detentions lasted minutes, others lasted hours. He was arrested several times pursuant to California Penal Code § 647(e),[1] but prosecuted only twice, with one conviction (the second charge was dismissed). In 1975, Lawson, representing himself (known as pro se), brought a civil rights action against San Diego police chief William Kolender and others, taking the case through U.S. District Court and ultimately to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor.
The U.S. District Court ruled in Lawson's favor, enjoining enforcement of the law. Kolender appealed the ruling the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; the ruling in Lawson v. Kolender, 658 F.2d 1362 (9th Cir. 1981) upheld the District Court, voiding § 647(e).[2] Kolender appealed the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1983 upheld the Court of Appeals in voiding the law.[3][4] This case is of historical importance not only because the California statute was voided, but also because it is one of the few examples of an ordinary citizen successfully representing himself all the way through the U.S. Supreme Court. Lawson received political support at the time from prominent Black leaders including Jesse Jackson, activist/comedian Dick Gregory, U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters D-Los Angeles, U.S. Congressman John Conyers D-Detroit, and others.
Lawson's Supreme Court brief was accompanied by amici curiae briefs from the ACLU, the National Lawyers Guild, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and others.
In 1983, Carl Stern, the CBS Evening News U.S. Supreme Court reporter commented that this case was the most reported U.S. Supreme Court case that year. Stern was referring to front page newspaper articles in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Miami Herald, The Los Angeles Times as well as articles in Newsweek Magazine, Time Magazine, Fortune Magazine, The Village Voice and other news publications. And additionally Lawson made repeated appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Phil Donahue Show, Larry King Live, Crossfire (TV series), The Ricki Lake Show, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.
Harvard University law professor Lawrence Tribe commented during an appearance[when?] on The Oprah Winfrey Show television program that this case was the last time that the U.S. Supreme Court had decided favorably to a defendant in a civil rights case of this magnitude.
California Penal Code § 647(e) was repealed by the California Legislature in 2008.

who was the brother that was speaking? All I heard was Carl.
Racism isn't a verb, it's a noun.
You guys are confusing the system of white supremacy with racism.
Please, don't change the meaning of words.
Racism isn't a practice. Racism is a belief. White Supremacy is the practice. Don't imply that I'm a dumbass by posting a quote that has nothing to do with me.
Like I've told others, don't bark up this fucking tree buddy.
Yes, the system itself was created by white people. But it's a system that can be used by other groups all over the world, even here. The largest system of racial supremacy is white supremacy.
You can be racist with your thoughts, if you believe yourself to be superior SOLELY based on your race - that colors your interaction with people of other races.
But I digress. I know I won't get any kind of agreement here on such a nuanced topic. It's much easier to just point a finger and shout.
Watching this is very uncanny for me because I came to this determination long ago in my everyday contemplating.
That's why I would be more likely to have respect for a white extremist than the subtle white supremacist.
The neo-nazi or klu klux klansman will simply own up and say, "Fuck niqqers. Damn them all to hell, and I hate them because I just fucking do. Fuck yeah, I'm racist!"
Okay...
But the mundane white supremacist is like a person who molests children but despises being called a pedophile.
They want to practice white supremacy and reap all its benefits but oh nooooo...don't call me racist.

you say this every time and get your ass handed to you every time. lo
Idiots agreeing with other idiots is not 'getting my ass handed to me'
There's plenty threads people just disappear in the middle of conversation only to reply days later or not at all.
Go sit down somewhere snuffleupagus
^^Tell em^^ Hatred with no power is prejudice. Racism is a system engineered to oppress.
Damn... he methodically deconstructed that bitch's ignorance and laid that shit bare. Thanks for posting, never heard of this brotha
Therein lies my point. There's varying degrees and scopes of power, but it's still power.
So it's entirely possible for non whites to have some degree and scope of power and use that to be racist.
Many people think it's solely limited to whites, but thinking that way helps justify it and perpetuate it on the larger scale that affects us.
So to me, the racist belief of being superior to whites simply because we're black is a hinderance and racism.
The system is white supremacy built upon the engine of racism- specifically the belief that whites are superior to all other racial groups.
You guys have taken the whole thing and twisted it simplistically. It's far more nuanced than you think.
Just because it's in a dictionary doesn't make the definition accurate. It's not like anyone black you or I know was asked for input, especially in 1936.
I just have one question? Can you name all the black racists who lived in the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th century prior to 1936 when it entered the lexicon? If what you state is true, you should be able to pull out a folder of names of black racists if that definition is accurate.
I had a feeling someone would take the "don't believe the dictionary because it was written by white people" angle
You also miss the point of my posts. Power comes in varying degrees and scopes, it doesn't necessarily have to be known.
The most pervasive form of racism is white supremacy. This is not something I'm contending under any circumstance.
Im just saying that racism is a belief of superiority on the basis of race. PERIOD.
If you believe you're superior to someone because you're black and they're not - you legitimize the construct of white supremacy. THIS is my point. The moment you feel superior to another based upon race you legitimize the belief that someone thinks their superior to you because they're of a different race, and therefore the entire system becomes FAIR because white supremacy as a system of oppression on a macro is a real thing while black supremacy is NOT. Therefore we would be inferior because if we weren't we would be living in a world of black supremacy on a global scale - but clearly we currently do not.
I know that paragraph may be difficult to understand.
Concepts that aren't simply "racism is white supremacy and white supremacy is racism!" or "context of white supremacy!!" are very difficult for posters to grasp here.

damn shame the way we let our heros go by the wayside...
and emulate fake kniggas we see on tv...
thats why we need our own schools, every young black man should
know his story!!!
its a belief to think you are better than someone simply because you believe so..
its not a belief when its a scientific fact, that dominant genes are superior to recessive genes..
white supremecy runs from scientific fact to create its own pseudo science like eugenics....
You're not worth my time gonzo

Dominant genes as far as skin color, tone, eye color...etc
Show me scientific evidence that the dominant genes are also found in intelligence and physical strength.
Bingo.
You really need attention? Bet you loved that ock thread, despite your cries that it's not you.
This is the last attention you'll get from me, savor it.
I thought you didn't have the time, assclown>
wager...prove that means or get an ip ban.
You dudes have nothing to hold on to. That just lets me know how thorough I am.
Im going to go against my word just to say this - you didn't even bring any points of contention. You simply said
You didn't even engage in any debate. What the fuck do you think happens? A formal throwing of the gauntlet? Seriously, how does that prove how "thorough" you are? I don't even care if that's you in the pictures or not, but whoever it is looks like a fucking goofy clown. You're just trolling now because you didn't add anything to this discussion but an attack...if you want to attack me at least bring something of substance to debate. Instead you sound like a bitch jumping into a discussion among grown men, adding nothing, and simply cheerleading by hurling insults from the outside.
