Eaker, you're argument didn't have enough substance to warrant a bullet-point response.

What were you expecting? Something like this:

See Jena 6.

So because those kids got a slap on the wrist for beating that boy, you expect the same verdict in Baltimore. Because they're black. Got it.

History does.

History tells us a lot of things. You seem to have more in common with Al Sharpton than I do. You both love to bemoan past injustices and further widen the existing rift between the races.

Do some research and get back to us.

I'm pretty sure you and I have a difference of philosophies here. I don't think it's just a matter of me not having read the same articles you have.

Okay you have proven that you cannot debate.

I'm pretty sure you and I have a difference of philosophies here.

Fair enough, you condone unpunished racial beatings by black gangs and I don't condone any beatings.

I don't think it's just a matter of me not having read the same articles you have.

I do more than read articles. I have seen the world in person not just out of a basement window.

If you know so damn much and are so progressive why don't you go ride the Baltimore buses for a few weeks and "dialog" with these misunderstood "youths"? Perhaps you can discuss things over dinner with the maggot parents that defend them.

THEN get back to us.

Note, I stated that I would disown my son for this behavior and you skipped that point too.

Let's just say that there are reasons why many white folk in the urban northeast/upper midwest prefer Latinos, legal or illegal, to the urban dreck (which does NOT mean all black people) such as those described in this article.

Then again, you are from Calipornia, so your take on racial issues is rather naive.
