What's really the story here is how a bunch of tweets gets the attention of the mainstream media; but racially motivated assaults on whites are overlooked.

Black folks feelings are more important that white folks lives.

Not with the same intensity of emotion or anger. And none of you in the black community is willing to go out there and beat up on the blacks who are assaulting and killing other blacks. If anything, most of you don't want to break that code of silence and be labeled a "snitch" and go help the police investigating those crimes.

I am black, and I happened to know one of the organizers of the "Stop the Violence" movement. google James E. Davis when you get a chance.

And by what measuring stick do you gage emotion and anger within the black community? Having attended many meetings, marches, and demonstrations I can tell you what was absent from most of them THE MEDIA!! If its not news worthy, or further perpetuates a negative stereotype about our community then it doesn't make the news. Have you ever noticed whenever something negative happens in the black community be it a crime, fire, flood, or other unusual occurance they (local T.V. news) almost always get a quote from the neighbor who can barely speak proper grammar, and this is the person they use to give an accurate account of what occurred? The voice of our community is once again represented by someone who barely finished the 6th grade. Anyone watching that newscast automatically thinks black community=uneducated, and concludes no wonder why this type of thing happens in their neighborhoods.

That's the best you have? I completely destroy your argument and call it what it is. I treated your classless post with the respect it deserved.

How would you know? Most black people that I know don't even believe in the no "snitch" rule. Like I said before you are speaking on things that you don't know too much about..

Let's forget about your meaningless classless emotional remarks. I'd rather hear intelligent response to my last post regarding assimilation.
