Last Thursday, the rapper Nelly went on the air of his hometown hip-hop radio station, St. Louis's Hot 104.1, to announce a college scholarship fund for local teens in honor of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old killed by a policeman earlier this month. Nelly also took the opportunity to mock the looters who have flourished since Brown's death, saying, "We don

Looters will be shot.

If that were the rule as once it was, the riots wouldn't even start for the most part. Every generation there would be one or two rioters somewhere shot breaking through store windows. That would end it for another generation. To the Left, though, it is more humane that many be killed in huge riots with many millions of dollars of property destruction every couple of years than that one looter get shot.

Yeah and how much is a young boy going to learn about being a good man from an irresponsible single baby momma on welfare?

Zero, Zip, nada, nothing.

If Gates had been a white man breaking into some house and had no ID to prove it was his own house, the police certainly wouldn’t have questioned that. They would have gone away and left him to go about his business. Clearly they only arrested him because he was black. There’s no other explanation possible. /s

****Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old****

And not only that, I'm thinkin the whole country knows who we're talking about when we say "Michael Brown" now. Enough with the "unarmed black teen" etc., etc. descriptors.
How annoying. d:^)

In America,if you behave and dress in a civilized manner, you get treated in a civilized manner, no matter what your race. If you don’t, your treatment may be different.

“In America,if you behave and dress in a civilized manner, you get treated in a civilized manner, no matter what your race.”

Like the two couples that went to the University McDonalds in Texas. Decent kids and two ended up dead.

I just looked up the Gates story. He had his I.D., but was arrested for disorderly conduct for actin' a fool, and yellin' "yo mama" and assorted crap like that..

He was in a house belonging to the university that he was receiving use of under the table if I recall correctly. After the beer summit he wound up having to pay taxes on that perk.

Cops didn’t know he was authorized to be there.

I must have seen an early report on the incident. While I thought it was a lack of ID that caused the initial ruckus, his apparent breaking into a house would have certainly raised police suspicions whether he was black or white.

How would the average African-American have fared, over history, if we had never brought their ancestors over to this country and they therefore ended up born and raised in Africa?

Cassius Clay...errr...Muhammad Ali once said he was glad his granddaddy got on that boat.

There's a crazy website, the < a href="http://www.electricferret.com/bozo/> Bozo Criminal of the Day. which bears this out.

Checked it out, it is entertaining.

In actuality black people are allowed to kill black people that they think are about to hurt them or are hurting them.
Kinda like the N word.

I would guess that none of today’s African-Americans would ever have been born. Highly improbable that all their previous generations of parents would have met. Never in a million years. Met then married. Many would have not survived to maturity. My guess is tat every African-American descended from slaves owes his life to slavery.

That is the definition of “prejudice”.

Blacks think they are the only ones who ever get pulled over by the police but they are wrong.

They say they are stereotyped, but every stereotype is based on some truths.

Blacks do commit a disproportionally large percentage of crime - especially young black males.

If they don’t want people to be suspicious of them they could clean their act up, stop acting like criminals and stop being criminals.

If black adults spent less of their time wailing about racist whites and being stereotyped by police, and more of their time building families with a mother and a father, and raising their own children to be good, honest citizens their world would change for the better.

Blacks live in a world they create and perpetuate.
