It could mean getting followed around in a store. So much to think about.

On the other hand, it isn't healthy. It isn't stopping anyone from disliking Blacks. It isn't stopping criminals of any race from behaving stupidly.

I am just tired of having to care what anyone thinks. I am tired of having to worry whether or not someone will follow me around in a store. It's no good for anyone's psyche, and no one should have to have those kinds of burdens.

With this incident of rioting, I don't ask why. I sort of expected it to happen.
Oh Lord, just got a breaking news....another officer was involved in a shooting, didn't say who or what happened....however, all it stated was, it was 3 miles from Ferguson.

I am so so so sorry you've had to spend a good part of your life worrying about all these things...and none of us know what that is like...and no, it isn't healthy...

and I agree, no one should have those kind of burdens, for certain!

Yes, actually, when Trayvon was killed, I worried the riots would start again....

I also worry when people make comments about getting even with cops...
I worry what things are going to be like for my Grand daughter....

But certainly do not have the worries you have....

caribdoll Many white Americans have a sense of entitlement. They get mad if other people get benefits only because they want it all for their own. Not because they are really against it...
No, your wrong, many Americans are upset with the fact that people actually live on welfare....
why? because that is Money we worked very hard for all our lives...that is what upsets white Americans.

Everyone at some point in their lives needs financial help...but to live on Welfare and collect food stamps your whole life, is dispicable, if you are able to work.

And to have more children so you can collect more money is even worse.....
If you worked all your life, since the age of 13 years old, you'd be upset to, if you knew people were to lazy to go out and get a job...instead of having baby after baby...I could understand that culture, years ago, but not today....

Now, how do you think we could fix that?
