Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old shot dead by a police officer

Is this POS forever going to have the word "unarmed" attached to his name?

Those POS “celebrities” wouldn’t have given Mike Brown nor any of his homies the stinkin’ time of day until this event permitted them to get their frackin’ faces posted all over tv and internet...

They’re “looters” of a different sort, using this man’s death as a way of “looting” news coverage and visibility. They couldn’t give a rat’s a$$ about this dead thug, his family or his homies...

Suge Knight sends his regrets. He is unable to attend.

Seems he too was just shot 6 times by a white cop. Cities to burn in 5, 4, ....

Wait, what? Suge was shot by a black thug? Oh. Never mind.

Okay, I have no use for any of these bozos in the first place. I think their work sucks and I would never willingly contribute to any of their crap...

Having said that, which was a pre-existing condition, if I now boycott them, am I a racist?

Or am I a racist for not caring for their work in the first place?

Maybe the good right Reverend Al Tawana Sharpton can help me with my problem, for I surely would not want to knowingly be a racist.

After all, as a white man, I was born a racist and until the good right Reverend Al Tawana Sharpton dies on the cross for me, I will never be racist free.

Oh, the decisions we ignorant poor white folks have to make.

Seems NBC is still repeating the lie.

Can't say Brown was unarmed. When two individuals are fighting to get a weapon BOTH are deemed to be in possession of the weapon. Hence, Brown was ARMED.

But NBC lied about Zimmerman too. Lies. Its what they do.

When ever you see Brown’s name ,it is always accompanied by ,” UNARMED “,if he had no arms he would still find a way to attack people

This is all so weird

“Black Celebrities” which in fact, means the likes of Snoop Dog and Spike Lee, continuously seek to beatify certainly flawed and failed people - Rodney King, Crystal Magnum, Michael Brown....

What tragic events that have covered TV and all information coming from this place. The world goes up in flames, people die and all this community can do is play to the likes of Snoop Dog and Spike Lee? Tragic!!
