Being a good father “ain’t keepin’ it real.”
From the Second City Cop blog:
Thoughts are simpleThey're rare, but not nonexistent.I am a black man and a product of the Englewood community.
I was downtown with my wife and 3 kids.
What I saw the other night not only was disgusting, it was shameful.
I am a successful businessman and have always believed in giving back to the community but thoe other night that same community let me down.
Here is what you won't hear the media or others say for the fear of not being politically correct.
As we walked down the sidewalk groups of black kids , that's right I said black kids, not whites, not Asians but black kids acting like thugs animals intentionally making comments to older white people and trying to get white younger people to fight and making racial slurs.
The media rarely gets it right but for a change a lot of what really happened found its way into the headlines.
Black youth is out of control and what bothers me even more is you don't hear any of our black leaders coming out and calling for peace.
From what I saw on my side of the glass was a concerted effort from black youth to come downtown and create chaos
News flash Reverend Jackson and the rest of the leaders in the black community make some noise. Your silence is deafening and everything that happened the other night is all on the shoulders of the black community.
I saw people scared and I saw police officers acting with incredible patience and restraint and teens and young adults acting like animals
This chaos as described by the media is "groups of young people"
Really ? More like groups of young blacks acting as if they were not brought up in a civilized society.
What happened the other night is something we should all be ashamed of.
I urge parents of young black kids don't fail your children , it isn't pretty
My heart goes out to the gentleman who wrote this.
