Blacks Commit The Most Murders, Police Shoot More Whites

These kids killed her Black son, while he gave him the money without resistance.
He was making money with a real job.
But you are right bro , these incidents aren’t great stories for the media

 

I'm thinking it's the U.S. Constitution that's at fault here

 

@pgabriel

Columbus Police Detective Terry Kelley said thanks to the public’s help, they identified 16-year-old Taywaun Gavin, 17-year-old Jebrelle McClendon and 21-year-old Ke’anu Logan as the suspects in the shooting.

Smith’s grandmother, Shirley Leaks, said he walked down the street to a nearby market to cash his paycheck. Police said the three suspects saw the cash, followed Smith and decided to rob him.

Two of the suspects got out of the vehicle near Argyle Drive and Woodland Avenue. Witnesses said Smith yelled “just take it!” before he was shot. The two suspects got back into the vehicle and traveled south on Woodland Avenue.

“He told them to take the money, senseless. I know the world is wicked, with no conscience,” Leaks said.

 

Your intentions aren't hidden. They've been pretty well exposed.

 

Oh I could, but what good will it do for you....
What you trying to do anyway... Write a book or use it for one of your stories to tell your buddies how you dealt with racism...

Once you have experienced racism, then you and I can have a talk... Until then.. Keep Moving on Stephen...

I feel like this is a great example of generational tension.

I'm guessing, based on his posts, @pgabriel is a bit older. A product of the Cosby/Sharpton/Joe Clark Reagan era way of thinking. I know guys like Walter Dean Myers and most of the dudes who made 90s crime movies were like that.

Most people in the thread are white liberals or white conservatives. And the actual, real dialogue within the black community; one that seems to have been played out from the moment we had free black men until now, is overshadowed.

I'm not black but I've been big on civil rights history and African-American literature since I could read.

Anyway, its summer and I have free time to read. @pgabriel hmu with any book recs. Or film or TV. Same with @T_Man .

 

Im also curious in the way it relates to other groups.

we teach such a sanitized version of the civil rights movement. I know a lot of LGBT Millenials/Gen Z who just think we can all hold hands and make play doh sculptures to move forward.

Hell a lot of people I know get upset when I point out MLK wanted universal healthcare & reparations and that gun control started when black panthers started carrying.

These same white liberals tell me Malcolm X was a radical and that the civil rights act of 1965 didnt do anything.

I dont care if its "bully logic"...if youre not commanding respect and turning the other cheek you get your ass beat

 

Dang Juice... I see you have been studying... Good for you...

The Panthers were portrayed as rebels and that is not what they were or stood for... They did so so much for the black community from food drives to education and cleaning up the community...

Now to be honest X was an individual that spoke his mind in his younger days as he was still learning and studying the ways of Islam... Bus as with any religion, he learned that the teachings of the lets say World Muslims were totally different than the Nation of Islam....

I do respect that you are opening your mind to learn other cultures... Much respect to you...

If you are really big on Civil Rights History than you need to visit Memphis....
1. Civil Rights Museum... Very Educational...
2. Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum...

Those 2 are an education like no other for Civil Rights... Also it's amazing how many whites were actually involved with the establishment of the NAACP...

Happy learning to you....

Im down! Ive been to the Atlanta civil rights museum.

I also have to ask...
a) why are most trans women black
b) why dont they pass like white women try to?

 

Your pattern of posting and topics of choice while lashing out when people offer some things that might help improve the conditions you claim to care about.

 

I noticed you left my comments un-replied to.

Something as simple as being stopped by a cop or store keeper or RA can make a world of difference...

I can tell you Ive never been threatened with a gun shopping in my neighbirhood.

But a teenage girl in LA got shot over a $1 soda...and if she looked like my sister she wouldn't have been shot

 

I can also say I played with toy guns, with electric tape over the orange caps, and "shot" at cops.

I stole the occasional soda or candy.

Ive been busted with weed several times.

I get let go...everytime.
