Turner murdered about five dozen people.

His crime is that he didn't murder enough people.

Blacks seem to support this based on what? Where are you getting this?

There is no reason to be 'ashamed' of your 'race'. On the other hand, there is little reason to be 'proud' of your skin pigmentation (or race). It is like saying "I am proud to be a warm-blooded mammal", as if one had any say in the matter.

Now, I am disappointed in individuals of all spectrum of skin pigmentation. I wish such individuals would act in ways that comport with being a civilized human being. Yet, such is life.

I guess one could say 'I am ashamed of the human race". It seems a bit extreme, and does not profit you or anyone else, but it would be more defendable.

I agree with this. I think one is only responsible for his or her own behavior.

I agree, the human race as a whole can be very shameful, ignorant, arrogant and downright dangerous.
