Or just plain enjoying the feeling of being the BIG MAN because life's made it so they don't feel accomplishment or achievement or pride in anything BUT "look what I STOLE?" <br />Can you blame these kids? <br />I blame their parents.<br /><br />"deep rage in minority communities"..>You bet. And that's nothing like the rage a lot in the white communities feel when they see black kids doing this kind of thing, refusing to get educated, accepting the rap lyrics they emulate, refusing to dig deep and get the best out of themselves that they can. <br />I support THAT. We need to help kids learn their parents have screwed them over and to show these kids they have something to offer other than becoming another crack parent.<br /><br />Thank God for policemen who'll arm themselves and protect us in spite of the ugly accusations about ALL OF them...one cop shoots a black kid and all hell breaks loose.........if it had been a black cop, we'd have never heard the name Michael Brown. What's that say? Is this about the black community enraged their kids are getting killed or enraged that it's all about racism from white america?

We point to dysfunction in the black community, but 'white' culture is devolving into banality and depravity before our eyes.<br /><br />I understand the frustration of minorities in this country, but the leftwing "check your privilege" crap won't fly with the majority of working class and middle class white people.<br /><br />Ferguson was not a festering slum. It is a bedroom community for St Louis and is a mixed-race community, like much of the surrounding area.<br /><br />Go to Google maps, zoom in on Ferguson (N of St Louis, just south of Florissant)<br /><br />https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ferguson,+MO/@38.7489375,-90.289063,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x87df49e36de09f05:0x7b87d2fc9ee09289?hl=en<br /><br />Use street view to see what it looks like there. This was a community where whites and blacks lived next to one another and all got along, although whites have been fleeing over the past decade and crime has been rising.<br /><br />Is there any doubt a group of black youths will be looked at more suspiciously than a group of white youths?<br /><br />Look at the crime statistics: Blacks are way over represented, as both perps and victims.<br /><br />But we have a history of racism...<br /><br />It's a chicken and egg argument. At one time, I was hopeful...<br /><br />On the other hand, in the top 80% of society, we see blacks and whites living, working and going to school side by side with no problems...<br /><br />We have problems in this country, and I'm no sociologist, so I can't figure it out. All I know if Al Sharpton should be sitting in jail for his past incitements that resulted in death, and people like make the situation worse, not better.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-89759049576712226742014-11-26T09:09:49.842-06:002014-11-26T09:09:49.842-06:00Let's not allow Ducky to obscure Z's excel...Let's not allow Ducky to obscure Z's excellent point: What people said to TV cameras did not stand up to the scrutiny of judicial examination.<br /><br />It's one thing to shoot your mouth off to the press, quite another to give truthful testimony under oath in a court of law.Silverfiddlehttp://westernhero.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
