This what that kind of thinking will lead to.
The rest of my post doesn't even pertain to your comment, homer. Just some things I've been thinking since this thread began.
You know it's been said before but there's good and bad in all races. As a jailer, one of the first inmates I ever got to know was a white guy name Lloyd that shot a black guy named Reginald (aka Disco) in the face and killed him. There was no uproar or anything. I never saw it as anything racial. Just a case of a bad guy killing another guy. We place these labels on things but in the end, it's just bad people doing bad things.
If it were me in the place of that white guy, they would have done the same thing, no doubt about it. All they were looking for is somebody that doesn't belong and was an easy victim. They found him. If that guy had been acting like Eminem from 8-Mile, he wouldn't have had any trouble and he probably would have gotten laid. There are some bad people in this world and when they are surrounded by other like-minded individuals that boost them up, the result is always ugly.
I go on youtube and see how many anonymous users think that bad people are so bad. That you can't seperate the good blacks from the bad (which applies to all races, really) and other nonsense like that. That we belong in Africa or that we're some sort of wild animals or something. I don't like how a minority taints the public's perception of the entire race. The vast majority of black people I know are hard working, honest, proud, and very religious. Of course you have your knuckleheads that get all of the attention. It sucks. But at the same time, the public seems to embrace our athleticism, style of dress, our music, our "cool", our comedy, and (in the case of many females I've encountered), our penis. You can't just condemn all of the bad along with the good.
