So not only our the black community choosing ignore the real problem, of the self destruction almost, self genocide going on in many cities. (Baltimore, Detroit,Chicago etc..) Where alot of the crime is Black on Black.
We rather ***** about a white guy in Florida. Let's ignore the hundreds if not thousands of black youth dying in the streets yearly, due the actions of fellow black individuals.

These protesters who are supposedly fighting racial profiling yet, while they are out bitching..I mean "protesting" they are choosing to flash rob 7/11's, Walmarts, damaging other innocent stores, and basically trash the streets..

While harassing other people who are moving on with their life. Shutting down streets, blocking cars

Oh yeah if you are black you better be on Trayvons side, otherwise be prepared to harassed like a criminal. They respect Freedom of Speech, and justice unless it's something these people disagree with.


These people are making themselves look legit....

I've given up trying to understand my fellow Black people. I just sigh and keep it moving. I'm kind of over it really.

You should learn more about your history and why some black communities are in the condition that they're in.


There's not only black communities like that.

The drug war, min wage laws, welfare and government schools all conspire to keep people down regardless of race.
Get rid of those things and most will be too busy working to engage in such unproductive endeavors.

I lived in some rough neighborhoods when I was younger. I'm 25 and can see why they are in poor condition. Some Lack of responsibility, Willingness to blame others, Full of Excuses. That's not everyone in those communities, but I believe it's the majority or close to it.
That's from my time living in certain areas.


I just don't get the logic. You are fighting profiling so what do you do?
"Hey lets go burglarize some stores."

Brilliant.

How bout behave in a way so people would have little reason to profile?

"They" are a group numbered in the hundreds out of 42 million. Attitudes such as yours contribute to the racial divide in our nation, IMO. If we are going to paint a group of people, we should do so with a much smaller brush.

The people who are rioting, are already the ones (for the most part) who are criminals to begin with.


Your issue is the image they are portraying.

I agree, you can talk to a lot of people who have legitimate arguments, and don't take this approach. I actually have a friend who went down for a protest defending Trayvon as well as many other youths who have passed before their time. my biggest concern is that this isn't about race (Zimmerman not white btw), it's a problem that goes way beyond. Unfortunately until this stigmatized idea of what a criminal looks like is gone nothing is going to change. The problems falls way beyond race, gun control and even class; lack of education plays a big role as well.

The criminals are some of the greedy bankers, corrupt politicians and corrupt Police.


They don't even get indicted.
