Anecdote. Fifty percent of black males dropout of high school. I'm glad you finished high school and college but you are in the minority of black males.

Black youth have been killing each other for years, but the only time the news media gets involved is if there is a white person involved so Black political leaders can call it racist motivated. The news media is interested in making money and they don't care how they do it.


The killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman is showing how liberals – especially blacks – care more about getting the political upper hand than affecting long-term change in black communities. Blacks are used as props to raise political capital. The shooting deaths of two British students — James Cooper and James Kouzaris — murdered last April in Florida by a black youth received no attention by black leaders or President Obama. Three letters were sent to the President that never received a reply. “It would perhaps appear,” friends of the victims said, “that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.” Why no national attention to the two Chicago men who were wearing hooded sweatshirts (“hoodies”) and were involved in a shooting that left one dead and five injured. This happened in the same congressional district represented by former Black Panther Bobby Rush (D-IL). This is the same Bobby Rush who wore a “hoodie” during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out.

Its getting to the point it might be best to just keep them on their side of town and let them eradicate each other. No hope, as far as rehabilitation. We gave them one of their own as president and all they did was take a four year vacation instead of using the situation to advance their cause in a positive way.
Maybe its best to continue to let them killing each other off.
Bill Cosby said it best and they ran him off.

Do a bit of research. Why is it after ALL these years there's still organizations such as these still around? Hate Map | Southern Poverty Law Center

As for the President he was voted into office by many Americans. "We" are all the people of the United States Of America.

There is a book and here's the movie. There's 10 parts.

One more article. White man who altered himself to look black reveals chilling accounts of racism, oppression | Jet | Find Articles

I hope no one is going to take any of this information personal. No one person represents a race of people or is responsible for the actions of individuals. It's all about understanding why some things are the way they are.

Did the perp in this crime get a free pass like Zimmerman? That`s the issue.

Now its time to get back to the Maury Show, DNA results are IN!
Guess you never watched "To catch a predator".

Why doesn't the media ever deal with the fact white men commit child molestation 10x the rate of blacks?

Do you want a return to slavery?
