At least I got my laugh for the day.
My laugh yesterday was people comparing a shooting by the police to a shooting by criminals in Chicago and wondering why there weren't protests over that as if they are the same thing.
Would the reaction had been the same if a black cop shot a white kid - absouletly not. And this is b/c there are very few instances of black cops shooting white kids. From the black perspective, this is far too common. Was the shooting justified? I tend to give the police the benefit of the doubt so I think it prob. was. But I don't have to deal with a history of being discriminated against to color my opinion and anyone who ignores that history is naive.
If the cop car had a camera this prob. wouldn't be an issue.

That's a pretty large list of excuses.
I will guarantee you that not one of the thugs or looters have experienced any of it. What I will guarantee you they have experienced is handouts, excuse making, opportunities created especially because they are a minority and constantly being told there is a reason they cannot succeed.
There are plenty of other minority groups in this country that have succeeded. You think it was easy but my great-grandparents to come to this country being Irish?? They were not given any handouts . They relied on family, and pride.
The black community needs to find a sense of self-worth and pride. There are plenty of examples of blacks that have succeeded to the top. The list is long, mostly conservative but for the most part vilified by the liberals. I cannot for the life of me understand why liberals claim to be on the side of the black man but do everything they can to keep him down
