Beyond that, I agree with the section in blue, but just forgot to add that into the mix.

Still the morals/values that use to exist more in many black communities seems to be going in the opposite direction. Whether they are not getting it at home, in school, in church, or a combo is something that needs to be figured out and corrected.

That last word should be affected. Many poor white people rely on a lot of the benefits that poor black people do as well. Its kind of like medicare. Republicans claim to want to cut it but Bush expanded it and Romney blasted Obama for the cuts he wanted to make. These are just talking points to these politicians. They are not looking for real solutions . They only want to get there side riled up. Both sides want thier constituients to feel under siege.

Seriously I don't know how people can see so many videos of bad black behavior every single week and still come to the conclusion that these kinds of incidents aren't a daily occurance all over the US. As I've asked numerous times before, how can there be so much video of blacks acting like this exist and yet non-blacks which are at least SEVEN TIMES the population of blacks in the US produce only a tiny fraction of videos that show them behaving badly? With cameras being everywhere catching everything these days that's literally IMPOSSIBLE unless blacks are indeed behaving like this on a daily basis.
Since you're bringing up mob attacks, Jesse Washington a teenage African American farmhand was attacked on this date in 1916 by a white mob in what became known as The Waco Horror. 10,000 spectators, including city officials and police, gathered to watch the attack. Members of the mob castrated Washington, cut off his fingers, and hung him over a bonfire. He was repeatedly lowered and raised over the fire to delay his death. After the fire was extinguished, Jesse Washington's charred torso was dragged through the town and parts of his body were sold as souvenirs.

When neo-confederates bring up a violent people there's no need to look too far...

You should read the comments on that video's page. Those affluent blacks in the video are only a small fraction of the town's population. There's plenty of ghetto blacks. Blacks are actually moving out of DeSoto.

And it's not just black males, it's females too. What's worse is that several blacks on this forum blame whites(!) for this type of black behavior. Crazy isn't it?

When, then. Don't act self-righteous and criticize blacks for not "helping" other blacks if you aren't doing anything to help the violence issue yourself.


Just so you know, you don't have to be that race to do things to help issues impacting certain communities.

While the violent perps unfortunately appear to have escaped identification and arrest, I am at least pleased that forever more when someone Googles Don Balmain, the gleeful photographer shouting out to "Kill him!" towards the attackers of the innocent bystander trying to break up the initial fight, this precious snippet of his life will pop up first to define him. Such as, say, a prospective employer.

Sorry Don Balmain, whatever career dreams you might have had just went down the drain as the whole world now knows of your evil and violent heart.

Not that I really ever patronize McDonalds or most any other fast food place, (or even a suburban Chucky Cheese, by similarily posted videos), I certainly now know to absolutely never set foot in one in the inner city, especially near a high school.
