The people I know of Latin, African , Asian and European decent all want the same thing I mentioned above. They want to work, love their country, have families etc... Yet, honestly the more PC people try to be, the more it perpetuates racism. We are people and should be judged by how we treat others not how much melanin our skin has. Race difference is there as preservation and protection from the elements of our origin. Without races developing, people would succumb and become extinct.

You have to understand that in this country there is money to be made by keeping people divided and bickering at one another. As long as this continues it is easier to manipulate/control the population as a whole. If you notice that the most ardent Obama attackers rarely if at all mention that the Senate and the Congress are complicit in the the ills of this country as far as laws are concerned. Is it because of ignorance of the roles of the branches of our government or is it a planned attack on our collective intelligence?

The sad thing is this. Pop culture controls people more than sense does. The ones with their time on the couch and not reading books, well, there are many things I have thought about.

Usually, many teenagers who do that might disparage other people who are into that stuff. I am not saying don't speak to those persons, because Michelle Obama should do so. However, many people are afraid to do it.

When Michael Nutter, mayor of Philadelphia, made his speech condemning the teens involved in the mob violence of August 2011(where he said "you have embarrassed your race"), he made his speech in church. He was received in a great way. He was respected. I would say start where Dr.King started. Start in the church, then take it to the schools.
But here's the thing...many people actually really LIKE Michelle Obama so they might be more inclined to listen to her. She does need to take this message in to schools where it needs to be heard. I don't fault her for her speech she gave and where she gave it but it is almost like talking to the peanut gallery.

Take it to those schools that need to hear it. Many people LIKE her and respect her. So use that! Use that respect and admiration and deliver the positive message where it needs to be heard!

I wish more Black people would "act White". There certainly would be a lot less violent crimes in the Black community.

You do not see extremely White washed Black men joining street gangs, selling drugs, shooting people, or participating in knock out games for example.

You don't see too many blackmen who destroy family's lifetime savings through bank or mortgage fraud either. Oh btw, whitemen are better known for TRANSPORTING large amounts of drugs. Shooting people? What is the ethnicity of the majority of police officers that shoot and kill innocent people? Who do you think authorizes this?


So you keep your silly racist games to yourself until you realize that no one group is any better then another. Because no matter how bad you try to make blacks look bad those who look like you are doing the same thing just on a different level

But it is unfair justice system pushed by the prison industrial complex who are corrupting our law makers to fill up the prisons with bias laws, which in turn leaves alot of young males with fathers and guidance which leads to the violence.

Another thing is that it is not a racial thing that promotes violence it is the lack of hope and employment which leads to desperation.

One of the few intelligent things I've heard her say. Perhaps next time she'll stand up and tell blacklivesmatter thugs to quit calling on the murder of cops and to get a job. Or not.
