– we must remember that we are powerful and full of potential, and yet we must also know that others may not see us that way.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given the crime stats I know blacks are powerful and full of potential ( harm). Sorry, but blacks, themselves, have given me good reason to be cautious.

Toure Niblit. Why does this guy conjure up images of a poindexter bureaucrat in a sub-saharan nation, slowly draining the country’s coffers?

Toure never met a race pimpin’ photo op he didn’t love.

She's some kind of bureaucrat in Miami. Looks like they've given her some kind of sweetheart deal of a sabbatical because of her special status.

"But when Sybrina talks about her late son — not the idea of him or the abstractions swirling around the memory of him, but of the flesh-and-blood boy she raised"

You failed.

Just responding to the headline as I can’t stomach the whole article: Martin was a wannabe gangster thug. His dream involved purple drank and ho’s. He got what he had coming. Enough about that punk. I am over it.

Almost everything said in this article is demonstrably wrong or misleading.

If people have fear, the fear is based on reality. Sadly, I might add.

One of the stats Toure uses to mislead is the fact that most murders happen between people of the same color. That is true. But, what he doesn’t say is that when someone is murdered by a person of a different color, black on white crime is exponentially higher that white on black crime. Those figures are bad enough, but would be much worse if the FBI actually reported the stats about perpetrators and victims accurately. For offender stats hispanics are lumped in with Caucasians making the number of white perpetrators seem much higher than it actually is. Hispanics are recorded separately as victims.

I really don’t like pointing this stuff out. I am sick and tired of all this race agitation by liberals seeking electoral advantage.

" we must remember that we are powerful and full of potential, and yet we must also know that others may not see us that way."

Reads like a quote of Screwtape to Wormwood.

“No man who says, 'I'm as good as you,' believes it. He would not say it if he did.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Anti-racism educator Tim Wise points out that white people are six times more likely to be murdered by a white person than by a black person.

Telling that the author leaves out the statistics of the likelihood of a black person being murdered by a white person.

The biggest problem in this country is guilty whites like Tim Wise.

As far as Trayvon goes, if he didn't slam George Zimmerman's head on concrete, he would be alive today. He's a Darwin Award nominee because he's a DUMBASS.

The probability of black people killing black people is MUCH HIGHER. Why aren’t the Community Organizer and the Faux-Reverands doing something about it? $$$

I see a day in the near future when almost everybody will be openly wearing a pistol on their hip. Never thought that before this administration came along.
