Yes. To throw our "wins" in their face. It's as simple as walking around with a happy smirk on your face ... they get it. lol
It's nothing new. Which is probably why they celebrated OJ. Blacks would regularly get killed in the South only for the perpetrators to be set free in their kangaroo courts. But racists keep tally of their "wins" and decent people hate all injustice.
I am outraged at all those acts. What is your point? A bunch of wrongs make it okay? I think I learned that isn't true in 1st grade. None of it is okay and an embarrassment to communities. Whatever though. I just could care less. It is all due to a hyped up media frenzy that has been going on for decades.
What do African Americans REALLY think about the "WHITE" demonstraters marching "With Them" against the grand jury's decision not to bring charges against this officer?
Don't you have any black friends of your own you can ask this question too?
It always amazes me how blacks have been in this country for 400 years and are forced to interact with whites on a daily basis to survive, but the opposite is true for whites who have been here just as long.
What boy are you talking about? You mean the adult that just robbed a store and reached into a cop's car to ty and take his gun and ended up getting shot?
Do you REALLY believe that a kid NOT ON DRUGS and with NO CRIMINAL RECORD (not even juvie) would be crazy enough to do what Darren Wilson said??
Darren is 6'4" feet tall, 210 pounds while Mike was 6'1", 250, but yet Wilson said he felt like a "5 year old child" against this "raging" black MAN with "demonic" eyes. He began shooting him INSIDE the vehicle and continued shooting when Brown ran. When Brown turned around he said he looked "angry". Well was he supposed to look "happy" after you shot him??
Also, Wilson made sure to use the "tried and true" story of the black man with superhuman hulk-like abilities where they believe they're made of steel and can run through bullets to get to their target.
Brown's murder took less than 60 seconds to complete for a man in "fear for his life".
My "thoughts" are that one day whites won't look at black people as feared exotic pets that need to be controlled by brute force and blacks won't look at whites as children of satan who are hellbent on making their lives as miserable as possible.

Point is: Throughout this long winded, multi faceted, highly dynamic thread there has been inferences to how white people don't act stupidly, how white people don't "riot". I guess it's just "celebrating".
If you saw my earlier posts in the thread, you would see I agree 110% about the media's role in stirring the pot.
You're not oppressed. The only people oppressing black people are.....get this.....other black people.
If you want to see change YOU change. It's really that simple.
Tell your fellows to stop committing crimes. Tell you peers to stop robbing stores. Stop selling drugs. Stop murdering people (nearly 400 in Chicago just this year, almost all black, almost all committed by blacks).
I'm tired of the rest of society being expected to cater to black people's "needs". Get a job, make your neglected kids sit the hell down in the classroom, and stop F-ing up all the time. Sure it's not every individual, but we all know the statistics.
I'm tired of having to apologize for living a normal, healthy and civil lifestyle. I make ~35k a year, made more in my early 20's in the Army, but on my current salary I can manage a household, take care of a family, have gotten an education, and have somehow managed to stay out of prison my whole life while also not having three b-stard children out of wedlock.
That's not privilege...that's F-ing NORMAL!
And there's no reason to apologize for it either.
Number ONE answer!
Blacks. You want change? LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Yes it is that simple
No one is gonna change for you. Obama lied, he had hopes, lots of it. He didn't do a damn thing to help blacks or anyone else
A lot of blacks just don't get it.
I am asian, been here 34 years. Came here not knowing one word of English. Not even the word MOM. Today, If you were to meet me out on the street, you ll never know it.
It's hard but personal goals and desire are obtainable.
Well, they've already tried to ask viewers to boycott Black Friday sales, so the progression seems natural... within the context of it all at least anyways.
I don't think believing in due process for criminal suspects is dumb at all.
There was a due process. You and some of the others just didn't like the outcome.
And since they didnt like the outcome, they are throwing the adult version of a temper tantrum.
"DuBose, a single mother of two, poured her life savings into opening a small bakery on South Florissant Road in Ferguson. Sales immediately tanked three months later when crowds rioted in Ferguson over the killing of Michael Brown. A witness saw 3 teens break into a lawyers office next door and throw a chair through her store's window. She was photographed in tears in front of her store. Then something pretty nice happened."
Just when you think the US is going to hell in a handbasket...
