Present to people the image of a lawless gangsta, be viewed as a lawless gangsta. Simple as that.

I was raised by a man who broke the color barrier anyway he could in the 40s and 50s. He was white. So I assumed that I had no prejudice. And then someone I love was severely beaten by a black man and his girlfriend. Now I don’t think it’s prejudice. It’s street smarts.

" I do not understand how the black community can continually blame police officers without balancing it with the need for black males to make some changes on their part."

The whole US LEgal System is racis'.

It is based on mostly logical, objective rational thinking rather than the emotional thinking of most 'rats.

The 'rat proletariat want a different system compatible with their "thinking".

Uh, bms? I know that is a generalization but the youngsters that try to achieve something and succeed are vilified by their, well I can’t say peers, but are accused of selling out or trying to be white or something. The thug mentality and rapper persona a lot of (not just black males) try to take on surely doesn’t serve them well in the long run. “Hands down. Pants up!” If they knew what the saggy pants look meant, maybe they’d pull ‘em up. Or not.

Peoples’ perceptions are what they see and hear. Take a white guy and have his car break down in an all-black neighborhood and have a black guy break down in an all-white neighborhood and see which one gets a tow truck and which one gets an ambulance. More importantly, ask who’s racist based on the outcome of the experiment.

I could care less about Blacks anymore. It's been thrown in our faces so often the
actual point of Blacks being LAZY and Criminals, is missed completely.

And I don't give a damn if I "don't get it" or "understand". FUBO!

What I do get, is propaganda.

That would be black men themselves.

So I'm in a Dunkin Donuts yesterday getting a $25 gift card and a coffee. A clerk was getting the card ready, while another was getting the coffee ready. In walks a black guy, he gets in line and yells- “Why the F*** are you holding up the F'n line???” So I turn around to see who this polite gentleman is, and I'm not surprised. I don't say anything as there a couple of other Ferguson types in there, and I did not feel like getting knifed. Had I been in there with a few friends, it may have been a different story. I did however proceed to finish up my tranasction at a much slower pace than usual.

They have been raised since birth to hate Whitey, mooch the system, and are completely devoid of manners or respect for authority. They have made a mockery of their entire race. Brilliant!

...It is open season on black men...

A provably false statement if you actually look at the numbers. More whites get killed by blacks than the other way around. Also, most (over 90% IIRC) of blacks killed are killed by other blacks.

But hey, what's a lie if it supports the liberal agenda and narrative, right? We've been told that by libs too: truth/lies don't matter, only the message.

White folks are confused as to how their racism plays any part in the massive amounts of black on black crime.

Burning and looting their own businesses in honor of Mike Brown’s death is a little confusing also.

"....police officers have such a negative view of black males.....Now, there is no evidence that supports that claim. However if that is the case, how did the police officers come to view black males so negatively in the first place?"

I believe this whole the-cops-are-at-fault thing started with Obama proclaiming in the Gates-Cambridge police case, that, "It's pretty clear that the cops acted stupidly", before he knew the facts of the case. That telegraphed his mind set on law enforcement and set the pace for the cops being blamed for everything bad that happened to blacks.

Those words mattered, but Obama, being the intellectually dishonest man that he is, would never admit that. He and Holder have spent a good amount of time during the last six years dividing this country into opposing sides. And in this case, they have successfully pitted the cops as being against the blacks.

Sad day for our country when it is our own president and his attorney general, who are the racist bigots, and not the American people or law enforcement.

How young black males are viewed can be a learned response.

I have had three times where I was targeted for crime.

First - downtown Milwaukee. A young black man tried to wrestle my briefcase away from me on the street. He was unsuccessful.

Second - LA Airport. A young black man grabbed my wife's bag off the baggage carousel and ran for the door. He was unsuccessful.

Third - my home. A young black man broke my car window and stole electronics from my car. I caught him on my video system and the police identified him and tracked him down.

These are the facts. It has nothing whatsoever to do with racism. It has to do criminals trying to steal from me.

They are.

Back in the late 70s and 80s, I never remember seeing the type of gutter culture among blacks. In fact you look at TV ads with blacks of all ages during that time, and you see people that were as all-American as anyone else.

But somewhere around 1988 hip-hop music joined up with black militants and inner-city gangs and became this ethnocentric/thugged-out trash that made black culture go right into the crapper. And it has been digging down ever since. Toss in the trash movies by Spike Lee, along with gangsta rap and it likely will never recover from that change.

As long as people are focused on "race" as the measure of themselves and the reason for any and all of their troubles, nothing changes.

There will always be something to "justify" whatever negative one chooses to focus their attention on, just as there is always something to justify being grateful.

Unfortunately, it's easier for most of us to focus on the "bad" rather than the "good" and easy for many to then get stuck in the rut of self-fulfilling prophecies of how life sucks no matter what you do and how other people are against you because you're "_______".

As such, in many a mind "bad" is easy to spread around to cover all a person sees in their world, much more so than "good" is.

It's also easy to find others who share that "bad" view, as well as those exploit it for their own purposes, such as race pimps and race hustlers and other assorted politicians, as well as family, friends, co-workers, etc.

If your thoughts are saying that white people or cops hate you 'cause you're black, the music and people on the radio you choose to listen to say the same thing, the Sharptons and Jacksons are saying the same thing, the stuff you choose to read on the 'net says the same thing, what are your thoughts telling you when you come face to face with a white cop or a random, lone white person or white potential employer or white teacher or any white authority figure or etc.?

Change your thoughts, change your world.
Nothing changes until the stuff you tell yourself changes.

In a heated exchange, PBS host Tavis Smiley told Sean Hannity that "racism is still the most intractable issue in this country, it's a part of everything we do still."

It's definitely a part of everything Travis does.

Misspelling intentional.

Answer 1-Black males who PROVE the stereotype that causes the generalization.
Answer 2- Black culture that excuses and celebrates said black males who reinforce the ‘thug’ image.
Answer 3- Black mothers who raise children to BE the very same kind of black men who use and abandon them; who teach their sons to ‘get theirs’ and reject any kind of blame or responsibility.
Answer 4- Greater society that tolerates all of the above because it is paralyzed by PC.
