I'll stick with tough luck. You can't 'demand' that a person not cross the street, lock car doors, clutch a pocketbook, etc. if they're wary of black men.

Well, until there is anything that helps me, or gets me a situation where I am treated fairly, then that "tough luck" is a cop out to me. I call it a cop out because Blacks have been hated in America from day one. How do I know this isn't a continuation of prejudice that never died out from the old days?

Of course there's prejudice. What you want me to do. Carry a sign saying Don't Fear Black Men. Sponsor a National Change Color for a Day.

You happen to live where even someone like Jesse Jackson has a general wariness of black men. You can demand, stomp your feet, ask the same question a zillion times, and it's still, tough luck.

It doesn't matter what so ever if they are black or not black. They are losers regardless. This is more of an issue about psychotic teenagers who should have been aborted in the first place.

Well, I don't care what Jesse Jackson has to say. At the end of the day, I worry about me. I've done nothing to warrant other people fearing me. Therefore, I feel that my merit should be my defining factor. My merit should come first. Let whatever some other things did stick to them. Let them do the time for their crimes, do not take it out on me. I am going to continue to think like that because of the history of this country, and because at the end of the day, I'm an individualist. I can't stop some thugs from acting like fools because they won't listen to me. They will either laugh, or beat me up. I have me to worry about.

Thank you. Why not just concentrate on the fact that these are losers who don't seem to care if they do prison time. What do you with anyone with a nihilist mentality?

So even if we all agree that only black people playing this retarded game, does it make any difference?

Even if it were only Black people, it should never make a difference. Lock up the perps who do that crap. You do the crime, you do the time. My philosophy is this. Let what those thugs do stick to them,and only them. Black people who aren't committing any crimes or who aren't playing "the knockout game", do not let the actions of thugs who happen to be Black stick to the Black persons who are doing right.

That is what worries me. There are those who feel like the actions of Black thugs should stick to the rest of the Black population.

I always believed in personal responsibility. You Green Mariner are not responsible for what other black people are doing unless it's you own child. Just like I am not responsible for the crimes of other white people.
But I think people, and you know this, see and hear about this and it is easy to associate a certain race with certain crimes. Like I have a tendency to associate child molesters with white middle aged males. Almost to the point I would not let one babysit my children. I don't like to think this way and it is not fare to anybody sense most of us are innocent.
