I worry that Blacks are being lumped together as somehow all being responsible for the criminal behavior of such thugs. When I was in 8th grade a Black girl started to push me around. A group of other Black girls came to my defense. So please remember decent people come in all races.
True. In this videotape of the bus beating, I saw a group of sweetfaced young ladies (black) who looked horrified, and their body language showed that they were very upset.
It’s not the black girls so much as the black boys who instigate and perpetrate such violence.
Boys growing up without fathers. 70% of young black boys.
Although I agree with you, I put your response (and my frustration in typing this reply) in the same category as asking the good muslims to stand up and denounce the islamofacists. I am waiting for the majority of blacks who do not stand with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and who agree with Bill Cosby, that the problems in the black community are not the fault of whites but actually the fault of government welfare, the entitlement mentality, and black racism.
When getting good grades is bad because it makes you too “white”, that points to a learned racist response created by multiple generations of confusion brought on by first a demand for integration followed by a demand for segregation. If our mutual optimism is to be confirmed, we need to see a grass roots black effort to denounce the RAP and bling generation, and meaningful movement toward ending the broken record of blaming whites for all of their problems. The animals on the bus this morning were only acting out on the message they continuously receive through the so-called black leadership and black entertainment as promoted by organizations like Acorn and the New Black Panthers.
Patriotic Democrats like JFK and Harry Truman are flipping over in their graves like the positive thinking black leaders who followed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and actually believed in his message.
I’m not talking about the decent ones, there are many, of course. That goes without saying, or at least I thought it did.
The fact remains that if you allow yourself or your kids to get near groups of young, poor black kids you are asking for medical bills.
I’ve seen too many people get hurt.
There is battling racism, which I support wholeheartedly, then there is suicidal behavior.
Take my advice, or call me racist, I don’t care, really. But don’t call me or my kids layed-up in the hospital, or dead.
