WTF is it about brown skin????

That drives this hate?????? White hate, Asian hate even to the point of causing suicide. I read an articles a while back about some of the brown skinned mixed race children that were left in Vietnam and the despicable treatment they received. I am from a German mother and african-spanish father. I grew up in the 50's. Pure hell from americans. And, FUCK!!!!!! It's still here today in all its malevolence.

NOT every POTUS

has ever been disrespected and reviled because of what race he represents in american apartheid thinking. While your statement about accusation is true, SOME of the names this POTUS has been referred to by.....definitely NOT part of the territory. Just open hate. This last 6+ years? Unprecedented hate shown toward this POTUS.

condescension

is always the typical fall back of the privileged when they KNOW they don't have a leg to stand. Now, "that's nice" when I see it.

your response

is typical of those....who want to spread the Conservative perception, that black people, in general, are violent thugs. A simple, obvious attempt, like yours, at painting a violent picture of living in what I presume, are black neighborhoods does a continuing disservice to the AA race. First, I want to be clear on this especially. The violence that you are pointing out to prove, to yourself and other like minded progressives and liberal on this board/OP, that being black means being prone to violence is VERY transparent and that I abhor black on black violence/crime and that I speak up on the subject whenever and wherever it comes up.

Despair, poverty, racism does create a climate such as some people have to live in as you are obviously trying to point out. I know this for fact as most thinking people do. Your attempt at broad brushing a whole race here is understandable seeing as it, I presume, is coming from one that has never had to face living in america as a person of the AA race.

The words published here, in the link, describing a night in bmore cannot begin to cover the harm done to a whole race of people by others who live in a society with all privileges granted without restriction based on their skin color . This attempt at painting black people as violent does not paint a fair picture overall of black society in general or the black community specifically. WE DO NOT hear of white violence because it is not published. Period. There is white on white violence everyday, zimpig and his stalker the other day is one good example. Only because of zimpigs infamous murder of Trayvon Martin dd it make it into the press.

White people have perpetuated violence from their very first generation in this country, against the First americans, but that is never talked about much in 'polite company'. Is it? That the white race tacitly, implicitly and religiously approved, in great numbers, of the american slavery institution and of the marginalization of POC, pre and post Civil War, is fact. That historic and verifiable marginalization, economically and racially, of POC continues, even today, in 2015. And there is no excuse for it other than racist ideology being so firmly rooted in american culture that many have come believe the truth of the unreasoning hate and lies of racist white culture.

Why are black people so angry? I hear this time and again. I usually don't answer when that answer is pretty obvious. I know that hate breeds violence and that if that hate comes from outside the community, it continues creating the age old self hate that ALL black people must deal with at some time in their lives. Some are lucky enough as children to have parents, caregivers, whomever, that will show them their worth early enough that one respects ones self and others. Yet many others are lost in a cycle of psychological, economic and sociological despair and frustration that keep the violence perpetuated.

Your post is obvious in it's intent and I cannot, will not, allow you to continue to push the Conservative meme you're trying to perpetuate. It is a sad attempt at disparaging a whole race of people, yet is typical. It is a continued distraction from root causes of black despair and violence and borderline......., I feel.

that is the truth

people DID elect them. Period. They got who they wanted, to lead them....

well that took care of that

oh, didn't you know????

violent, thug, demon, erratic, threat and threatening are all words used consistently to justify murder/execution of young black males. I've seen the word used countless times in justifications of shootings of unarmed black youth, men and women. Michael Brown was called that, violent, demon, threat. Hell, 12 year old Tamir Rice playing with a toy gun was seen as a "threat" by the racist clown who called the police on him and he died for it. John Crawford looking to buy an air rifle for his child was seen as a threat and died for it. This young man was killed in his apartment. He didn't have a gun and the poor police officer was "justified" in a shooting that was not his first. And the circumstances of this shooting were obvious and listening to the 911 call makes it clear that this police officer Kenny shoots pretty fast, doesn't he? This cop got an award for heroically shooting a drunk man. And the man he shot here was of his own race. I know a black kid didn't stand a chance. Come out of your cave/bubble every once in a while, you might learn something...geez

+1000

well

that took care of that

The truth speaks for itself

another young black male 's life snuffed out because he probably was struggling with trying to make sense of life. I know how I struggled at 19 and I had war to deal with also. I know my son's struggles at that age in life, You are entitled to your opinion. Means zero to me. Notch? YES notch!!!! And I have no doubt in my mind it won't be the last. I trust no police officer around young black people, especially if they are not from the community they are policing and of a different race. Period.
