If she had half a brain, she would leave town and open up shop elsewhere. Why stay in such a miserable town. What happens when this town decides to throw their next temper tantrum when a decision is made they dont agree with. I guess people by nature are afraid of change.

Why is that?
Because black people are a much smaller demographic here. In Jamaica the opposite is true.

Besides, why get your panties in a twist because someone is honestly interested in your opinion? Sheesh.

thats what MalcomX said when he was a hater of white people, then he went to mecca and saw people of all colors in islam. so when he came back to america he welcomed everyone, of course this is probably what led to him getting shot.

This was justice served. I'd never want to see an innocent person imprisoned or a guilty one walk.

and you should stop generalizing.

who is "They"?
every single black person is "mad at the world"?
do you see how ridiculous a statement that is?
The protesters are trash.

Good luck getting by the NYPD. They do not play around.

These violent protests and destruction are bringing racism back. I have heard the "N-word" and more talk about the ghetto dwellers in the past few months than I have in my entire life. Great work protestors........you are doing a fine job of reviving racism.

Didn't sound ridiculous to me, but I guess that I can understand what I am reading is about the rioters in Ferguson.

Blacks are EvERYWHERE in this country.

If a white person with generational history in this country doesn't have black friends or even associates they can talk to about things that interest them, then it's because they don't want to.

Anyway, in real life I don't discuss race issues with white AMERICANS, because they like to play stupid or have selective amnesia about things.

But I will talk about it with foreign born whites or non-white groups like Asians, Hispanics, Samoans, et.

We all share the same "history" of European invasion, brutality, massacres, and colonialism.
