Dexter and Webb. Dexter may be the worst street in Detroit.

“.nothing changes in the black communities til “They Change”.”

That’s how I see it too. So long as their child-like behavior remains, nothing will change. And so too their unwillingness to accept the fact that they are not a special case by virtue of their “beginnings in America.” Other minority groups have knuckled down and gained acceptance by the majority, blacks continue to be “odd man out” by their own inability to prove they are worthy of respect.

What I want to know is did the shooter break any gun laws.

The flag should never be flown at half staff for the death of a civilian. Just another thing to piss off more white people.

And people are getting fed up. Five years ago lots of posters on here would have been banned. Not anymore, thank God.

The black community has been under a black President for almost 8 yrs. just shows that Government is NEVER going to resolve their deep seeded cultural condition. They just can't and won't accept the problem is in their own communities.....

The majority do not want to "Grow up" because that means taking responsibility for who, what and where they are in their life......that requires more than they want to do to change.

What we're seeing today is simply the Demorats pushing all theri buttons to distrat from the real issues facing this country....it makes for steady engagement of the press...."show time"....endlessly.

(Soapbox alert)

Flags are NOT supposed to be half-mast for every regular citizen or even evry damn LEO that dies. It is supposed to be for heads of state.

I am so sick of the US and also our state flag being lowered for every damn tragedy, including the natural death of some LEO retired 20 years ago, etc.

I swear if not the US flag, I’m seeing the MD flag lowered every month, and ask my husband if he knows why. We find out some pathetic thing via the Internet.

We might as well hang it up now if we are so stricken by every single death. What a sign of weakness.

This has ONLY become prevalent since 9-11. Never before that did I see flags go up and down so much I start getting seasick.

Listening to the radio this morning. They talked about this, the Philly shooting and the Charleston shooting. They made a BIG point of emphasizing that the Charleston shooter was white. Not a peep about the race of the other two.

Got a big sermon about racism in church this morning. Didn’t mention who was racist, but the implication was strong. No mention of the Philly and Detroit shootings, just the Charleston shooting.

I despise racism of any sort but I am particularly sick and tired of the racism that makes a big hoopla about white on black crime but ignores, trivializes, or excuses black on white crime.

When is the last time you heard of gunfire erupting and people being killed at a peaceful cross lighting ceremony?

That would have been a national story.

Yeah, because everyone knows that black people can't swim!

You know what really pissed me off? When Reagan died, President Bush ordered that the flag be flown at half-staff for 30 days.

As July 4th came nearer, the flags were still flying at half-staff, and I told everyone I knew that I don't effing care what Bush said, that flag is NOT to fly at half-staff, for NO MAN, on July 4th.

The Bush administration realized this mistake and on July 2nd W. issued a proclamation that set the flag to return to full staff on the morning of July 3rd.

Many did not "get the memo" and I saw countless flags that July 4th flying at half-staff. Outrageous.

“just a bunch of youth who obviously if they had jobs wouldn’t be shooting each other”

That is their job. What (H)arf doesn’t understand is that part of the gangster’s job is to kill.

No Whitey to blame. No presidential pronouncements. No 24/7 news. No mass hysteria. No bowing down in mass submission.

we have to ban basketball courts from all public spaces, it’s obvious that they incite violence and cause senseless killings. It’s time for this culture of hate and basketball to end. I demand that all basketball courts be removed, especially the one at the White House.
