There's where you are wrong sister/brother......I once lived in the hood in NJ. I don't need to go to goggle to search out what I already experienced in my own lifetime. Gang Initiation week, drug dealers outside the door. "F" rated schools, Obama phones and the reading is white mentality. These imaginary community crime stopping groups never existed and still don't in my old neighborhood.

Reparations! You are still harping on that hold over from the 1970's. Wake up! Stop waiting for handouts that only belong to those that suffered actually slavery.

Of course, the mainstream media covers Black riots because it feeds into the media stereotype that all blacks are violent.

Has it ever occurred to your that many generations of Black people respected police officers. Many Black men became and still are police officers.

Use your head, not your feet!

Worked his way at farm hand,laborer ETC..........in 1917 just after becoming a citizen he was drafted into the army and fought in France. He was too frigging busy to even think of Jim Crow..........and no he was not racist..........


My Maternal Grandfather returned to new York from Nova-scotia. His family had fled there during the revolution because they were tories. They lost everything they had.


don't be so "sure" Madam..........I would bet my ancestors had it worse than yours..........

lol @ you scoffing at reparations...how about white america give back the handouts they recieve from black african slaves? See, silly people like you like to start history at 1970 and act like blacks just ended up where they are own their own. Even if you start there, the war on drugs basically targeted blacks and destroyed the black community even more. See you can try all you want, but all roads lead back to white supremacy.

To me, this has nothing to do with Trump or anti Trump. I don't care about who wins this or that election that much.

And I'm not going to any cotton fields. I'll die first...and I'm taking folks with me.

Well, of those who did vote, a larger percentage voted for Trump than voted for Romney in 2012.

At least Lil Wayne can think for himself. Unlike BLM followers.
