well yeah it does matter in which statistics you're looking at me..i'm talking about incarceration rates based off federal stats. bm are more likely to see jail time per x-thousand of people, and make up nearly half of the prison population. That could be due to a variety of factors (racism, biased trials, corrupt systems, etc..or just due to mothafuckas being criminals), but looking at that from a glance could lead certain people to stereotype and fear. the media/movies don't help either. you see so many roles for blacks as the typical jailhouse perp, drug dealer, whatever. but again..that doesn't give you the right to aggressively follow someone and kill them. If that was the case, we'd be allowed to kill wm for fear of racism.
Exactly and based on the statistics argument I guess I have the right to go question any white man over thirty who happens to be alone at anywhere since they make up the demographic of serial killers, rapists, and child molestors. Or call the cops anytime I see a white woman scold her child in public since they are more likely to kill their kids. And no matter what the statistic says it makes up ridiculous low percentage of the amount of people who actually do anything. Less than 5% of the black population gets arrested and/or incarcerated yet that demographic is the face of the entire race. Does that make sense to anyone?
definitely worth looking into like i said tho...the media is to blame as well as a focus on certain statistics, instead of viewing other ones ive seen countless movies where the main guy is white, but has a friend or enemy that's a black criminal it boggles the mind why we'd be reflected in such a light

toure apologizes for meltdown against pierce morgan. I saw this and I was like ................well you read the story http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/toure-apologizes-piers-morgan-meltdown-152149682.html
Looks like Juan struck a nerve huh? Juan Williams is usually spot on and I agree with him here as well. Where is the outrage over black on black crime? http://www.theatlantic.com/national...eople-protest-black-on-black-violence/255329/
Reports today FBI is doing a parallel investigation can only be a good thing. More eyes less chance of coverups.
yeah really that sanford PD seems good ole boy through and through..especially with zimmerman's dad being a judge or whatever tbh..a warrant needs to be issued for his arrest/detainment..letting him run wild and possibly leave the country is fucking ridiculous
Its not about black on black crime which is just crime when any other race does it btw. Its about equal justice under the law. It has less to do with a white hispanic killing a blsck teenager and more to do with him basically getting away with it despite mounting evidence. Wish you guys put the justice system under the same microscipe you do the entire black race. It really is unfair and illogical.
Thank you. This wouldn't have even been a story if Zimmerman had been taken into custody to start with. Naturally this is too complicated for many right-wingers. They've been going around posting every black on white crime they can find in the news in response like the entire thing boils down to tit for tat. Completely missing the point. Like always.
Not true. Keep in mind I think Zimmerman is probably guilty but I'm just looking at the bigger picture. Black males' worst enemy isn't white guys or "white hispanics"...its black males.
no our biggest enemy is white-hispanics that kill a black every now and then, and skirt the system who cares about the endless brothas murdered at the hands of other brothas at least they're getting locked up..fuck a death toll
You two crack me up. So whats your solution? You and Ness want us to do what exactly? And as Jase pointed out the violence is a problem but this case is about miscarried justice.
Pssst. You know your black ass is not going to move back to the hood and become a leader and role model in the community to help stop any of that black on black crime, because that's one of the biggest and best steps we as black men/people would have to do to counter a lot of the negative shit. You aren't concerned enough to possibly get a cap popped in your ass to stop that shit so quit playing..........
shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet i'll leave that for TDK..he seems to have some fire in his belly to right wrongs he can take his marching ass and bring justice for all our brothas :smt043
What don't you motherfuckers understand? This ain't about white-on-black crime. It's about the police response when a black person is the victim. When black people kill people, even other black people, they go to jail where they belong. I see that Juan Williams' masters over a Fox told him to go out and obfuscate the issue for people who can't think critically.
don't worry about the police response to this there'll be plenty of brothas getting killed, shot, and banged upside the head regardless if the police respond appropriately to the shit or not carry on youngin
Best joke you ever told in your life. My parents didn't leave one slum to have their kid live in another. Staying my black ass in suburbia and watch those savages from a far distance thank you very much. Mama ain't raise no fool lol.
