Some blacks are but many other blacks are quite embarrassed by the antics of role models like Kayne West and very disturbed by the Belleville West Bus beating yesterday.
This is beginning to remind me of Charlie Manson’s philosophy of starting a war between the whites and blacks, waiting for them to kill each other and then come in and take over the U.S.
Barry Soetoro is also quite an embarrassment.
Yes, and that is a shame. It’s like white people being judged for crimes that ignorant white people committed.
We have GOT to get past skin tone.
Although I agree with you, I put your response (and my frustration in typing this reply) in the same category as asking the good muslims to stand up and denounce the islamofacists. I am waiting for the majority of blacks who do not stand with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and who agree with Bill Cosby, that the problems in the black community are not the fault of whites but actually the fault of government welfare, the entitlement mentality, and black racism.
When getting good grades is bad because it makes you too “white”, that points to a learned racist response created by multiple generations of confusion brought on by first a demand for integration followed by a demand for segregation. If our mutual optimism is to be confirmed, we need to see a grass roots black effort to denounce the RAP and bling generation, and meaningful movement toward ending the broken record of blaming whites for all of their problems. The animals referred to in the article were only acting out on the message they continuously receive through the so-called black leadership and black entertainment as promoted by organizations like Acorn and the New Black Panthers.
Patriotic Democrats like JFK and Harry Truman are flipping over in their graves like the positive thinking black leaders who followed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and actually believed in his message.
Really? How about names, or better yet, groups that came out against the latest black or white crime or the constant beat of the racist drum?
