I don't know. Why don't YOU tell ME? I'm sure YOU would know.
I call everyone by their CORRECT cultural names and NOTHING more.
Again, all of those horrible racist names came from people born BEFORE 1975.
Well you were just telling us that "whitey" is outdated and how they must not have any minority friends and so I ask you what is the current term and you say you don't know and get all mad. So maybe don't lecture people about something you then claim you don't know about?
Lol @ before 1975. You musted have missed the 20-something tour bus operator going off on asians last month. It's on Youtube. The whole "old people are the racists" meme has some truth to it, but there is a newer, younger face of racism and it's changed to keep up with the times.
I understand and can sympathize...however, it would be better if they aimed for a culturally diverse group. Regardless of the outcome, it will be attributed to all members being AA, not the evidence presented.
I found a new jury for the sham trial being proposed here.
Clearly a group of Michael Brown's "Peers".
(I wonder how many stores this set of fine young "oppressed" gentlemen have robbed or how many store clerks they've roughed up. They'd surely understand M.B. and the "struggles" he was going through at that time he just really wanted some cigars and didn't feel like paying for them. Totally understandable.)
As a black man I would say most people would be afraid of these dudes. I would not associate with them.

It is not real. Just an event they planned that is in no way official. The ending has already been decided.
These people do not speak for all 40 million blacks in this country.
I really hate the term "African American Community" as though we are all one huge group of mindless drones ruled by two or three knuckleheads who declared themselves the "voice" of all of black america.
Grand juries are bodies impaneled by a court, not a prosecutor. As such, they are organs of the court, not organs of the prosecutor or the police.
So what court is going to impanel the "African American grand jury?" and won't that risk a conflict with the findings of the original, court-impaneled grand jury?
Someone on an earlier page on this thread made a comment about lack of intelligence among those making the most noise about this case. Sounds to me like whoever suggested a second, racially restricted grand jury might fit that description, or at least someone who hasn't clue how grand juries work.
This just shows that minority's want a different set of rules and laws to abide by then white people. I recall Dr Martin Luther King and other's marching to abolish the two tier system white and blacks had in the 60's. Apparently race equality doesn't mean as much as it used to when it means that black people are held to the same high law abiding standard as everyone else.

No, it shows that some news organizations will print anything they think their audience will bite, regardless whether the looney proposing it actually has any kind of standing.
An "African-American Grand Jury" will only have as much power and authority as society gives it. We already have a grand jury system that's multi-cultural and fair. It does not, however, refuse to hold black people accountable...which is why black people want an AAGJ. If we had decent leadership in this country, we wouldn't have to concern outselves with an AAGJ gaining thrust in our justice system. As Barney Fife used to say, "We need to nip this in the bud!"
If I were born in Africa, and then became an American citizen, wouldn't I be considered an African-American? Why are black people who are born in America called anything other than American? If a black man born in Dominica becomes an American citizen, wouldn't it be insulting to him to call him African-American?
