They need to take responsibility for their own actions. You should be doing that no matter what your race is.


You must have some idea of what it is like to be white these days. It sure is nice reading about how all old white people need to die for others to get ahead. Everyone hates the white cops and look at you funny because you are white.

Who said I wasn't? Not explain nothing else. Take a AA Studies course online or something and get out of the news headlines. Better yet, seek black blogs and publications online to see the umteen other million of us that are focused on other things than the 1% of hoodlums out there. Very Smart Brothers comment sections and article is a good place to start.

Your snarky comnents are based on an opinion you have formed from what the media has fed you. Learn yaself something then get back to me for conversation.

You do that. Stay black and be miserable until you change your status. Black folks are entirely responsible for their own condition.

Hey Im a Pharmacist man so my life isnt that miserable along with most Black folks in this country. Graduated from a top HBCU about 7 years ago. Your far removed sir. I suggest you read. Where do you live? Or better yet how old are you? You sound really jaded so Im guessing your not a Millienial or Gen Y and if so you must be REEEEEAAAALLY suburban or in an area where there arent many black folks.

I'm 38. Gen X. I live in Aztlan. I read a lot. There are lots of black folks in my hood. They don't get along with the majority Hispanics.
