Or do you get to pick and choose your victims, the Michael Brown's and the Trayvon Martin's of this world? What about the rest?
This proves you don't actually hang out with black folks. Every young brother I know is the first one to tell you that they're killing each other off faster than anyone else. It's what the preachers preach about. It's what their mothers say. Its what the guys in prison say. Its what the guys that made it off the streets say. It's what the guys still in the streets say. It's what the sisters, the girlfriends and the fatherless children say. It's literally what EVERYONE that lives in the hood says. It just doesn't make the mainstream media. But just like you feel like the mainstream media doesn't cover the point of view YOU have, likewise do they feel that way. They ALL care what's happening to their youth, because they're ****ing living there. It's THEIR children, THEIR brothers, THEIR fathers... YOU are the one who has dehumanized "them" and decided for "them" that the only black deaths that anyone cares about are the ones that come by way of white hands.

You're ignorant. And I'm argumentative, but NEVER inflammatory on these forums. This is an instance of someone with NO firsthand knowledge of a situation pretending like he knows EVERYTHING about it. Walk a mile in the shoes of a mother who lost her child to street violence and tell me:

And then go look in the mirror and ask yourself who's more ignorant, the ones who "only" care about Trayvon's death, or the people like you who have been JUST as duped by the mainstream media?

The typical excuse that comes from the majority to justify what suits them. This mantra is similar to cops' excuses: "I shot the victim because I thought he had a gun." "I feared for my life." "The job is very stressful."

Watch the film, Zulu. It is about the clash between two polar opposite cultures. Disregard skin color if you can. Over a century later a friend of mine wrote: "Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be, if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass."

The good citizens of Keene who were the victims of a raid by progressives should reconsider their options before the next raid. A few years ago in Los Angeles, ethnic Korean shopkeepers did not suffer the same losses that other social groups suffered when attacked. Ethnic Koreans understand progressives and chose not to be victims. As our country devolves, many will be faced with these choices.

Plenty of them here on C-D.

What an absurd comparison.
That is especially true to those of us who have experienced a race riot first hand.

I doubt a black guy would get beaten or killed just for being black with a bunch of drunk idiot white kids. However trying being a white guy during a black race riot and see if the same holds true.

And some have a "live by the sword, die by the sword" mentality. It is the Black people who don't behave like criminals who care the most.

Why is it OK to stereotype all whites as RACIST when not? The actions of very few are chosen to represent over half of the population of the USA. Whites are depicted as gun toting racist control freaks who hate all minorities and poor people.
If that were true oganized groups of white racists would be hating on their own.

One of the biggest. bloodiest riots to ever take place in the U.S., back around the Civil War, was staged by the Irish in NYC, which all but destroyed the city!

Why so angry? We had instituted the first Military Draft, to get recruits to fight in the Civil War, to abolish slavery, and? The Irish were pro-slavery! They knew if the Blacks were freed in the South, they'd head North and take their jobs away!

More anger!!! Back then, the rich could get out of the Draft by paying $300 to the Government!

There was so much bloodshed, anarchy, arson, the Draft was suspended! Who says violence/rioting doesn't accomplish anything!!!

It's not ok. All whites are not racist. But it feels awful that some people think they are doesn't it? Makes you angry and/or frustrated?
