You should be saying "we are lost" because you're no different. If you're black, you're black. You think you're a special snowflake, but you aren't.

All of the racial microaggressions on CD apply to you.

And this is coming from a biracial person.

I know sometimes the special snowflakes on here like to exclude themselves, but when white folks look at you, you're still a criminal in their minds.

Actually, a sizable number of criminals don't fear anything, not even death. I've watched enough gangland documentaries to know many criminals don't care if they live or die. One man in Milwaukee asked some gang members where they saw themselves at 30. Their response to him was laughter. They expect to die a violent death, so there is no fear of the police, just hatred.

Well, I have a question for you. You are Black. If you believe that the Black community is lost, what will you do?

I should not be worried about what others think about me based on race. I should only be worried about taking responsibility for myself and making sure members of my family don't act stupid. Sadly, there are those who really do care what many think of them. I really don't see why Black people like me should have to answer for the stupidity of those who happen to be Black. I didn't cause it, I have nothing to do with it, I'm just taking care of myself. Holding the rest of the Black population to scrutiny is not going to stop knuckleheads from acting up. It isn't going to stop those riots. It won't stop criminals from doing what they do. Blacks like myself pretty much know they won't stop, as they won't listen. Bill Cosby found this out the hard way. Black people should call it out because it hurts themselves, not to please anyone else. What I've learned is that you can only take care of yourself. You can only do so much to stop someone else from acting stupid.

No, if you were white you should be worried about yourself, as an individual.

NEWSFLASH: Black people are all the same. Black people are not individuals. Duh. Clearly you haven't learned from the race experts of CD

Honestly, Black people should not have to prove to the whole world that they are individuals. I know who I am and what I'm into.

The race experts of C-D just talk about whatever makes them sleep better at night. They see white privilege slowly slipping away....

Strawman.

No one is asking you to feel anything. You are internalizing the issue.

Blacks simply want to be treated with the same kind of decency as everyone else. We want the same basic rights. We don't get the benefit of the doubt in anything... just slain children as collateral. We have whites in this country comparing black TEENAGERS to animals they can slaughter. Talk about inhumane...
