“OK, in that case: The blacks need to be liberated from the horribility of economic freedom and evil white people”
Well, let the transports to Africa begin.
No hate crimes here. Move along.
Seriously, some people are animals.And like predators, they need to be dealt with in the same manner that predators are dealt with.
Midnight basketball is not going to do the trick.
nothing much happened with it , if your in a 75% black school , with a black principle , well it must of been accident and left with that ,
its not all black people i dislike , I have a friend that was good , but he also said he had to get out of the hood , he was good worker , he was respectful to me ,
but when he talked to his boys on the phone i could hear the instant change in the way he talked ,
did i trust him to work YES did i give him the keys to my car NO
YES, THEY CAN!
...and get away with it.
We can thank all WHITE liberals for this sad state of affairs.
Nope. Don't buy it. Not for a second.
I'll bet they're not black lefties. Blacks of every political persuasion know better. They've lived it.
That still doesn't help most blacks to see that the root cause of the degraded state of the black community is liberalism/socialism. Most continue to believe that the community needs more help from Uncle Sugar to heal itself.
You can even point out to them that Billions have been spent on the so-called "War on Poverty" with no corresponding rise in the quality of life for blacks, and they'll just look at you like you're speaking Martian.
I've given up trying to talk sense into my family members. They're grown people. If they can't think their way out of a paper bag, then I'm sorry for them. I've just used up too much gas going down that road to try anymore.
True, and you don't see that on TV either.
And Jackson - Sharpton Inc. only make it worse by blaming the victims of this heinous behavior. Notice that they (of all people) never go to bat for the majority of blacks when these incidents happen. Never do they point out that these awful incidents are being perpetrated by a small segment of the black community.
I'm telling you, I really hate those men. They've done nothing but pimp black folks since the end of the Civil Rights era.
Interesting question. My family (on both sides) has had to fight the charge of "acting white" for as long as I can remember. Even when the charge wasn't overtly leveled at us, we got the message through ridicule, cold shoulders, and other subtle ostracizing.
My siblings and I were Army brats from birth, so didn't start out life inside of a monolithic black community. The only community we knew was one where people of every background and state of origin were represented. In short, the culture we came from was the military sub-culture, which in my time, was uniquely all its own.
I guess you could say that we were foreigners in the black community, even though our extended family were all from there. Both of my parents graduated high school in Watts, California (in '48 and '50).
However, their parents were strict disciplinarians and very much of the very old school. They moved out of the Deep South, partially to give their kids a better shot at life. Because of that, they set really high standards of conduct for my mom, my dad, and all my aunts and uncles. They were all made to speak standard American English, too, despite the fact that they spent half of their childhood in the Deep South. My parents tell some hair-raising stories of hell they went through because of that.
Anyhow, short answer is that I couldn't fake who I was, and that brought me grief for a long time from my peers.
You think I'm trying to pull a race card, or defend these animals? NOT.
All I was trying to point out, is that these hoodlums don't just stop at attacking people of other races. No, they're much worse than that. They also attack their own.
Are they also racist? You bet your ass they are. I read the article too.
Sure they will, but most of the good people of this country now realize that the MSM is a mouthpiece for the race hustling industry, and will read it for what it is.
You've got the right attitude.
Spending my teen years in the ghetto caused me to grow eyeballs in the back of my head, and to develop a level of heightened awareness that was almost animal-like. I also started making sure that I had a firearm within easy reach nearly all the time. Don't know how many times I almost used it.
In time, I just got the hell out, and life became a lot safer for me. One thing that hasn't changed is having some firepower within easy reach.
The First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Oakland, California (3726 Telegraph Avenue) has a banner outside stating, in large, bold letters, "STOP Black on Black Violence."
Sure, the vast majority of whites will be able to employ discernment, but the knuckle-draggers and even not-so-knuckle-draggers will condemn blacks in a more universal manner.
Everybody loses.
Good insight there, Triple A. It's spot on.
It used to bug me that white people seemed to ridge up when I'd approach them. Even in my professional adult life, I've had to deal with that reaction, which always melts as soon as I begin talking. I've had to be discerning, myself.
Thanks for posting that. Unless people spend time, or live in these communities, they may have no idea what a crisis is going on there, and that most in the community want it to stop.
~ Thug Report ~
Ok, so I looked at your link. There's a collection of horror stories about violent thugs there, many of them black.
I said that "most black people don't commit these sorts of heinous crimes" and you responded with that link and a well-placed snark.
Are you suggesting that most black people are violent thugs?
You've not only just offended me, but you've also offended Justice Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, Lt. Col. Allen West, Star Parker, Bob Parks, Lloyd Marcus, Alphonzo Rachel, JC Watts, Michael Steele, Lynn Swann, Thomas Sowell, and every uniformed black person who ever fired a shot in the defense of America, including my father and my brother.
"whatisthetruth", indeed.
