You could have fooled me...

Ever since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman on that faithful night, America has been on their toes about the stereotypes that have been put under a spotlight.
There are all types of statistics that are supposed to show that young black men have to be more careful with how they act, and it gets harder when those stereotypes only worsen from it.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, young black men are more fearful of their futures ever since the incident with Trayvon Martin.
A 19-year-old boy named Jaboris Haynes spoke with the Sentinel and revealed:
"Sometimes it hurts. When I was younger, I thought of being a different race and wondered what it would be like. The message I got about being a young black man wasn't a good message. I always felt like somebody was after me, like they were judging me, just because I'm a black male."

Don’t get into a car with a mad black woman.
Maybe his mom was a big fan of the cartoon character Jabber Jaw.
Sometimes a little fear is a good thing. Don’t dress like a criminal with baggy pants! Don’t be all attude and strutting your stuff. I wouldn’t do this in a black or latino neighborhood—they shouldn’t do it out of their comfort zone. We have too many young men lost to the Gangsta Culture and Rap music and Dope. When one goes bad—we all lose. Maybe Trayvon might have turned to education and found a cure for cancer? Maybe he could have become a hero on some far away battlefield or preached the gospel saving young lives—but it was not to be—he was offered few choices by his culture—and he took some bad ones.
If they’re going to behave like “nolimitsnigga” then they should be worried.
There is a flip side to this coin you know. It's almost a weekly occurrence that someone turns down a street in a predominantly black “hood” and ends up shot at or dead.
I challenge any white person to take a walk down a black neighborhood in the middle of the night.
I dare you to do it just once and if you make it out alive....then we can talk but until then, I'm tired of hearing about blacks being afraid because of what happened to Trevon.
Black neighborhoods aren't exactly safe for white people either you know.
I am dude...er...dudette it's always hard to tell thru this fricking cheap scope.
You could have fooled me...
They are but it's not society dude, it's your own peer group who have been raised by single parents, never disciplined or taught respect for human life.......
My advice to not end up like Trayvon—based on having survived 40 some years. Watch a lot of Star Trek, spend a lot of time on the computer, consume no intoxicant harder than a Samuel Adams, don’t go to a “club”, spend lotsa time playing fantasy football.
Killed by an Hispanic Democrat?
If you beat up on people, expect to have many of them defend themselves.
The days of black thugs not being challenged for attacking others, is over.
And, at the same time, my local newspaper website is full of pictures of local criminals, all black, one of whom robbed two white people in the parking lot of a local restaurant and shot his .50 caliber handgun into the air. From my anecdotal experience, a white person is MUCH more likely to be robbed or killed by black person than vice versa. I live in a town that has slighty over 50% black population. I don’t go anywhere unarmed and I think anyone who does around here is an idiot.
Saw it on a hospital chart, I kid you not. Kid named
Syphillis
Pronounced sye-PHIL-is
I’ll let you guess the melanin concentration.
How about Shithead,pronounced Shi- thea.Even heard of a black woman wanting to name her kid Feces because she saw it on a sign at the hospital and thought it sounded like it would be a pretty name.
Oh wow, I wonder if a registrar would allow the name “Shithead” on a birth certificate. . ..
These people. . ..geez.
