The racist race card is all they have left to play.

A divergence in African American culture has made it easy for people to categorize "good" and "bad" blacks separately—and that's a huge problem
My parents sent me to an all-white elementary school when I was 4. I speak and think differently than them because of it. This is a small, common tragedy of black life that we don’t talk about: the best way for me to find success in my own country was to be immersed in a culture entirely different from my parents’ and adopt it as my own. But that experience taught me lessons that I now find intuitive–how to find common ground with different people, how to come off as non-threatening to others, how to chalk up racist statements to a misunderstanding. You could probably label me clean and articulate, like my President.
There are a lot of black people like me now who grew up straddling two different racial worlds. Blackish, the only comedy on broadcast TV featuring a prominent African American cast, is centered on this increasingly prevalent concept of black identity. I don’t want to paint my experience as some painful upbringing. I had a big, loving family and, eventually, great friends of all races. But I fear some people are learning the wrong lessons when they meet black people like me–that I am somehow more acceptable or less problematic than other black folks. That Mike Brown, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin should have behaved exactly like me to avoid being killed.

As a pig, I am deeply offended. Please do not compare that obese drooling moron to us pigs. He's one of yours, puny human!
“Typical white person.”
Is the author also concerned with the rhetoric that some Black activists are contending that all cops are racist and actively looking to hunt down Black people? If you have a problem element in your own population don’t rationalize their bad behavior and make excuses for it. Diassociate from them and let them be the losers in life. Why is that so hard for so many people to comprehend?
I won’t post their pictures, but we also have Dr Carson, Jesse Lee Petersen, Larry Elder, Voddie Bacham, and others too numerous to count in the “no thug” category.
He has it just backwards. It is the inability of the black community to condemn one of their own as a “thug”, that results in their community being labeled.
And this same rule applies to all other groups. Your group must be *first* to condemn one of its members who violates a person outside of the group; or the entire group will be tarred with comparison.
“They protect and shield their own from justice, which means they despise those outside of their group. So why should they expect respect from outsiders?”
OK. That settles that.
says=said
Looks like the author failed to learn logical thinking, or a respect for the truth. “”
More Likely just chooses to Ignore Truth and Logic, He already self identified as a RACIST in the Article.
A Hyphenated American is by “Definition” a RACIST!
That moronic thug doesn’t even know how to flip the bird properly.
The racist race card is all they have left to play.
Is the author really going to assert that fighting arrest and assaulting cops is part of black culture?
Why should we accept that?
How is this wrong, Victor? Look, if you start wearing your pants on the ground, smoking dope, robbing and committing petty theft, etc. and etc. believe me...
Your life expectancy will be really really short. And like 93 percent of blacks who are murdered? It will be another black who kills you.
Hey Vic. I'm sure it sucks to be called an Uncle Tom or an Oreo just because you know how to read cursive. But at least you're educated.
And alive.
In a free society with a rational culture, life is the standard of value.Blacks need to learn the difference between good and bad. Bad is the type of behavior that leads to increased risk of death, and good is the behavior that leads to the ability of the individual to stay alive without having to be a parasite who has to depend on others. This knowledge of objective values is a requirement.
If these gentlemen had blond hair and blue eyes, they would probably still be dead now.
And nobody but their families would know about it. Or care.
IF the noose fits............ WEAR IT... ‘
I guess I hate myself.
...that apparently got hold of some bad cocaine laced with shrooms.
I'll be the first to say 'bullshit' on this one. There are plenty of well-bred young and old black men who have NEVER been looked on as a 'thug.'
The liberal left continues to believe that if you dress, look, act and talk like what has commonly become associated with 'thugginess', then people are going to make that association, no matter if you really are or not.
One simply cannot do whatever the hell one wants and not expect there to be consequences.
Oh, wait! This is Obama's America.
Never mind.
>>When You Condemn One Black Man as a ‘Thug’ You Condemn Us All
Well, as they say, “One bad apple spoils the barrel.” That’s the difference between blacks and whites. Black say, “This is my barrel and those rotten ones are my homies.” Whites say, “I’m moving to a better barrel.”
I like that logic.
“Please come with me while I take some magic mushrooms and fly off that cliff.”
“Nope. I’ll stay here in reality thankyouverymuch.”
