It almost seems like they don't care about the loss of life and is using the verdict as a reason to act up for free merchandise by rioting and looting.

They need to stop because it's perpetuating bad stereotypes again.

That's nothing. Did you see the LA riots? Now that is some serious rioting and looting.

Even NY saw some seriously bad looting during the 70's blackout.

I wasn't even born yet when that happened. This is my first experience seeing such anger.

I thought they'd want to make Obama proud, but instead they are just disappointing him and perpetuating horrible stereotypes. This is just horrible. I'd be soooooo scared to even walk down the streets in Ferguson.

OBAMA should just resign. His people let him down.

Just a HOT mess! It's a mess!

I don't know who Obama's people are. He has a white mother and a black father.

As for Blacks, I did not know all Blacks in the world were rioting. I'd wager most don't know where Ferguson even is, or that strongly care. So I don't know what stereotypes are being perpetuated.

Perhaps the one with the problem is you, for making ASSumptions and projecting your own issues onto large groups of people.

You know darn well the stereotypes that are being perpetuated. You wouldn't have responded if you didn't know what they are. Junior high school kids even know.

No, I don't know and I don't believe you have the power to reading my mind. Speak for yourself, or go out and say what you want to say. I don't even know who know you mean by Obama's people.

I assume nothing.
