Sorry he couldn't be finding they pdfs that be proving white people they racist. That's why he resorted to quoting boyz in they hood. Oh wait, he be a white person his dam self??

When I said that Boyz in the hood didn't even cross my mind. Not resorting to anything. If you truly want me to send you pdfs, and some papers I will. It's my birthday today so I am not going to sit on my lab top searching through hundreds of papers to send them to a person who I feel won't read them and call me, the researchers, and sociologist fools. I will do it though, but not going to go out of my way on my birthday to do that right now. That's why they haven't been posted.

Our social media is a ******* joke. A white man yells at a black man and the media yells for racism. This is the exact reason why racism is still a true problem.

There are two different eye witness accounts. One says Brown had his hands raised the other said he was lunging at the cop. Honestly, these could be mistaken with each other. Getting shot 6 times is funny you ask? Have any of us been a situation where someone is charging (or you think) charging you down? Are you going to aim carefully, or are you going to shoot to kill.

The rioting is ******* ignorant. The only people getting affected by it are the people who are innocent in all this. Declare martial law on the place until its settled. Lets see rioting with actual military patrolling the streets.

Its a huge cluster **** and I am sick of hearing about it.

I didn't read entire thread, all I'm saying is it's a waste of a protest. As bogus as this sounds, the looting and riots are about the only thing associated with this that makes sense

Marc?

It's from boyz in the hood lol.

I really hate the blaming of the white man bs. Sure you can go ahead and say the white man has it easier, but you can't blame the white man for black thugs acting like animals. I'm from sacramento, and in south sac (ghetto and mostly blacks) the people call it "south sac Iraq. In the first 3 months of this year there were I believe 12-15 shootings on a street called Mack Rd in south sac. Mack Rd isn't a long street, few miles at the most. Black on black crime mostly. Is that the white mans fault? Most "bad neighborhoods" are black neighborhoods, and they blame whitey. How bout stop sellin drugs, robbing people, pull your pants up and stop acting like the world is against you. That would just make me want to work harder to succeed. Yes I'm white, and married to a black woman.

I don't like how some non-blacks in society blame blacks for their problems. The black man's current status is a result of both external and internal factors.

When you get more money for every kid you have, that's an external problem.

When a black woman makes the decision to have 5 baby daddies for the money, that becomes an internal problem.

I wasn't going too do this, but.... As a black man, I am truly appalled by the behaviour of this particular community. We do not know ALL of the facts, and can someone please tell me the point of the looting. To me, atleast , it seems that it's perfectly fine for us to kill each other, but god forbid anyone else do so, especially the.police. When we, ourselves, turn our backs and become less than law abiding citizens, how else can we expect the police to treat us? Where is the civil unrest when innocent children are killed as bystanders? We have become our own worst enemy, we don't have to be concerned about others doing us in, our own are doing a fine job of that for us. Some will, and some won't agree, your choice. We need to remember all that has been surpassed, if you want to be treated as a member of a positive society, let go of the 'thug' life mentality, pull up your gdam pants, and act like you belong. Yeah, this became a rant, sorry about that. Just sick and tired of the same old same old. I work everyday, do my level best to be a positive role model to my kids (my job to do, not any athlete or celebrity), and at the end of the day, hopefully I was able to make somebody's day just a lil bit better. Nuff said, I'm done, peace out.

If I'm not mistaken this isn't the first time you've been a voice of reason on this sort of issue.

I can tell you right now nobody has the balls to say it, but a LOT of white folks would read that thinking "Jesus, I wish all black folks were this sensible".

Ok michael Moore. What about ruby ridge and waco? What about the huge disparity between black on white violence versus white on black violence? Your few carefully selected examples are very telling.

How does Ruby Ridge or Waco compare to young black man being murdered for jaywalking? I will read your PDF if you provide one. Waco followers believed Koresh was Jesus and were willing to do whatever he said. Ruby Ridge deal, if my memory serves me correctly, this guy had a shoot out with DEA or US Marshals.

What person of any color for that matter wouldn't read that and say well done Sir. Anyone who doesn't think this way is a waste of citizenship imho. One of the reasons upper income mixed or Caucasian neighborhoods are less violent is simply they take their community responsibility seriously. You won't see some duchebag outside someone's house dealing drugs or pimping a 12 year old. If more lower income neighborhoods gave a sh*t about their community any time other than when a cop kills someone they'd all be better off.

This is through the eye of the beholder, if you want to see racism everywhere you can find it

I'm standing at the bus stop in an ALL WHITE INFLUENTIAL neighborhood waiting to get my kid off the school bus. Within 20 minutes, 3 cops roll up (one with his hand on his weapon) and say they received a call that a black male is stalking the neighborhood. I happened to be buying a home on the same street in question. I'm a well-dressed, clean cut guy at all times. I don't believe in the big saggy clothes. Why do you think the cops were called on me? Help me understand my ignorance.
