When someone expresses outrage about unjustified violence against innocent based on a moral/ethical view, it is worth applause. When someone expresses outrage about unjustified violence against innocent based on a race/color/other identity while standing by perpetators of similar unjustified violence for self-interest, such hypocrisy is worth condemnation. This thread is to point out some current examples of the latter.

Celebrities expressed sadness, frustration and disappointment across social media Monday after a grand jury in Missouri declined to bring charges against police officer Darren Wilson for the Aug. 9 shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown.

Amnesty International Accuses Obama of 'War Crimes'
Oct 22, 2013 - ... has accused the Obama administration of "war crimes" in its drone ... peace, violations of the laws and customs of war and crimes against humanity...". ... the media show considerably less interest in amplifying the charge.

Few hypocritical douchebags "celebs" below who expressed outrage over unjustified violence in Ferguson while they have stoodby swc dronegangsta and cannot possibly claim to be ignorant about killing of innocent children of different color by his judge/jury/execution drone policy.

Basketball star LeBron James used the opportunity to harken back to the 2012 shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.












Chris Rock expressed discontent in the outcome.

[h=1]Celebrities Promote Black Friday Boycott in Order to Support Ferguson[/h]By Christine Thomasos , Christian Post Reporter
November 26, 2014|3:08 pm

While many people around the country are trying to raise awareness for social injustice, some Hollywood stars are looking to protest with their wallets by boycotting black Friday.

Entertainers such as actor Jesse Williams, singer John Legend, actresses Tika Sumpter and Kat Graham, model Chanel Iman, entertainment mogul Russell Simmons and television host Terrence Jenkins, have decided to skip out on black Friday after news broke that Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson would not be charged for fatally shooting Michael Brown,18, last August.
A number of celebrities showed their support for the movement by using the hashtag #BlackOutBlackFriday on social media, in an attempt to boycott Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that sees many Americans shop in droves to find bargain deals.

Ava DuVernay, director of the upcoming Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt produced civil rights film "Selma," spoke about the idea of the Black Friday boycott being created by 2013's "Fruitvale Station" director Ryan Coogler.
