Since when? A thug has always been a person who engages in (or flirts with) criminal behavior. It has nothing to do with skin color.

Go figure.
That is what happens when there are people who are more interested in histrionics than a civilized conversation.

How am I going to "answer" something when you didn't even ask me a question? You didn't see SuperWoman1's post above yours? And obviously the Murica statement wasn't meant to be taken literal.

It's also obvious that you have selective memory also, or you aren't paying attention in these race related threads.

Take a look at the Huge Brawl in the HS and other threads where the perpetrator was Black and you'll see how Whites on CD claim they want to deal with the issue... From behind their keyboards.

"i will continue to not capitalize anything i feel like not capitalizing, and there's nothing you can do about it."

If you want me to take what you're saying seriously it would help. Ironically enough, I'm willing to bet you probably up-vote or make comments criticizing the "Black community" for the large amount of uneducated people.

Any video that shows disrespect should be banned. This video makes me angry whether it's fake or not/ white or black. It shows disrespect.

So as an African American, to some non-blacks, you're in one of three groups:

A) Hood rats
B) Non-hood rats who would rather a black person be a hood rat than an Uncle Tom or sellout (whatever the hell that means)
C) Non-hood rats who enable the behavior of the previous two groups


Oh and in typical C-D fashion, you ignored my questions, like the rest.

It would just be easier if you all would just admit you can't answer the questions you all keep dodging.
When blacks stop having the same monolithic views on politics and other social issues like cheering on a double murderer getting away it, then they won't be viewed as monolithic. It's that simple. I saw in some precincts that Obama got 100% of the vote. Even Saddam Hussein only got 99% in his rigged election in Iraq yet some places in Philadelphia and NYC Obama got 100 freaking percent! This is pathetic and shows blacks are not maturing politically among other ways, but actually regressing into group think. How much more monolithic can you get that 100%?
And the few blacks who don't follow the line are viewed with suspicion.
I remember there was discussion on ESPN about whether Washington Redskin quarterback Robert Griffin lll was authentic because he had a white girl friend and there was suspicion he might be, wait for it! a Republican. The same issue has come up here in the Seattle area with Russell Wilson. In 2015 blacks are really still having these kinds of discussions?
Ridiculous.

80% of the YouTube videos must be banned in that case . . .

Hey, they have to counteract the votes sought by GOP in trailer parks and Walmart, no?

Ridiculous.
38 million African Americans voted for Obama? 38 million African Americans were glad when OJ got off? Is that the best you can come up with? If you think the majority of AA's care who The Dangerous Russ Wilson and RGIII date or vote for, then you're completely clueless and should probably stop commenting on a subject you clearly know nothing about. Blacks have been considered a monolithic group long before Obama or OJ.

Oh by the way, I'm not a liberal or a democrat and I was like 5 during the OJ trial, so that pokes a hole in that already stupid argument of yours to justify monolithic descriptions of blacks.

"Enough" will NEVER justify or equal "all". Amazing how "adults" don't understand that.

And once again, you ducked the questions I asked, in typical C-D fashion.

Yeah, "ridiculous" is the correct word, here.

I spit out my soda from laughing so hard. OMG

ATG already touched the political side, so I'm going to finish destroying the rest. Where are you getting this data from? *gasp* You saw something on ESPN? So if I saw something on ABC where they were talking about a video showing a corrupt police officer does that make them all bad?

If you honestly think all Black people are Republicans because of what you witnessed personally then there's no hope for you, and you should check this out...

"In 2015 blacks are really still having these kinds of discussions?"

Yes, because in 2015 Whites can't seem to comprehend that Blacks share the exact same brain.
