All the crap that we as a nation must deal with today can be traced to the decisions of these two cases that I listed. What say you to that, sir?
Probably nothing, but if I were to take a stab at it I think that somehow a rich cokehead beating a murder charge is a far worse tragedy in some peoples books. I will not go into the "cultural rage" certain people experienced then that causes them to keep going on and on about that stupid trial that has more to do with the union of said cokehead and murder victim than anything else. Most especially murder.

As am I. To my friends, neighbors, co-workers and various other associations none of them think or act that way. I don't associate with trash no matter what color it is.

Exactly we are people regardless of what skin tone. There have been white gangs that have attacked blacks. It happens, its the country we live in. Unless the people change its not going to change.


Prime example .

It only can can happen where a certain demographic is omnipresent.

I'm certain this has been said somewhere before in this thread but I assume that the teens involved lack any sort of structure/stability at home.

'Should'---lots of things should have been different for so many people--including several in my own family.

I can only conclude that this group chose MARTA because it would be 'easy'/easier to find victims than anywhere else. Therefore, it would seem that some effort to make such an attack more difficult would follow.

I can't help but think that someone in law enforcement, social services or education has more detailed fyi on likely suspects---who are likely highly skilled in covert strategies.

I guarantee you the kids on the train that did this do not know who Dred Scott is nor do they care. Technically the 14th amendment ratified within 15 years of the decision negated Dred Scott.

I see this type of arguments from defensive blacks but the problem with this narrative is that the actual Blacks who had to live with the current affects of these policies did not randomly assault people.

No they worked, married, and raised their kids to be honorable and respectful in a harsh, hostile environment.

Frankly many of our ancestors would be flabbergasted and a shamed of the behavior of their descendants.

It seems like history is repeating itself just in the other direction.
