But it's amazing how you're saying what I'm saying is "petty", but you have absolutely nothing to say in regards to the blatant racist insults he directed at black people with the ebonics as our "first language" and the so-called "crackhead" names he mentioned.

Talk about freaking double standards.

Saying something to Chris will accomplish nothing as he clearly said he was not participating in this thread any more. Carry on.
You and I were writing at the same time because I immediately went back to add a sentence. This is all silly and came about from the thread on the fake grand jury next month.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson et all DO NOT speak for me, nor do they represent what I stand for.
Am I alone in having an issue with this nonsensical generalization?
I'm always concerned about the white community and white on white crime

Exactly. I know what his point was, but average black isn't going to understand. Too busy hanging on to the victim label/status.

You probably should be. Those whites roaming cities with Hammers are a real problem.

Once again, the AVERAGE black doesn't feel this way. The media, loudmouths, and some of the ones who hold a degree of "status" make it seem as though they speak for "us" all. Certainly not the case.

This could be the equivalent to people saying that "All Muslims/Islam are/is evil, barbaric, etc." because ISIL claims to speak in the name of Islam. The average Muslim is not running around trying to take over the world, just like the average black is not hanging on to a victim label/status.

Have you ever tried to stop his race baiting? Have you stood in the crowd when he is on TV spewing his hate and booed him? Have you ever told him to shut up because he is causing problems?

I'm sure that there are millions of Blacks that wish that he would just shut up and go away...But I'll also bet that there are millions cheering him on...

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have both made their living off of race baiting..... And they aren't going to stop any time soon......

No, because most of us are too busy with work/raising our families to have time running around with their crowds of unruly supporters.
