You're right, Detroit gas stations seem to be dangerous places.

I'm sorry was not good enough for a man, who immediately got in Holloway's face. Surveillance video captured it all.

Oh well suspects have been caught.

In a press release issued Thursday, Winans said the incident highlights the need for better parenting.

"We've got to do a better job raising our young men," Winans said. He added that if they "would have asked me for the money, I would have given it to them. "

"Our young people have to find their purpose in life. It has to be bigger than sitting in a gas station waiting to rob innocent people," he said.

I agree the blame must be put on African-American parents for the disproportionate amount of criminality in the African-American community.

I think that the blame should be placed on white America because it was white America who disenfranchised the African Americans who moved to Detroit by changing from district voting to at large voting for council in order to eliminate the possibility of African Americans from gaining a seat for the district to which they were moving.

African Americans in Detroit were disenfranchised and abused by the system and were refused decent educations. The white people are at fault for all of it. They did it.

Not a bit. I lived there and I've done extensive research on Detroit, and what white America did to African American Detroiters is absolutely despicable. It is so backwards that it took me years before I realized that having a fence that divides a white neighborhood and an African American neighborhood is strange.

Here's the skinny: the rich do as little for the lower classes as possible. The working class in Detroit got unionized and made some real money. However, the working class abandoned the African American community. You would expect that with all the money coming in that the schools would be nice. But the working class whites participated in the disenfranchisement of the African Americans, and left the African American district to rot; all these people who were from the South and not very smart in the first place because they were only two generation out of slavery, were then pushed into the sewer section of Detroit and were still not educated.

However, they were educated in police brutality, but when they resisted that education, white flight skyrocketed. The whites of Southeast Michigan gave African Americans a choice: be our punching bags, professional semen repositories, and drug consumers. In return, we'll give your criminals housing, your hookers money, and your druggies distraction. But, we'll never give you an education because our conservative whites don't care that much, and our liberal whites want you to be dependent.

And now America has no real workplace discrimination that protects those who make it through that filth? And who do you blame?

Why does it have to be about race? I'm pretty sure ALL posters are against ALL violent crimes regardless of race.

I agree Pastor Winans many of your people have been reduced to savage behavior hopefully you can help address this issue.
Please specify who pastor Winan's savages are and how they have been "reduced" and by whom. That might contribute something. Your disdain is beyond rational - speaks of an agenda.
Too many posters know they don't have to be accountable for what they say, and so they take advantage of that. Gets old!
