Ferguson, Missouri Community Furious After Teen Shot Dead By Police

Right. I was a teenager in the 80's. I would drive in to Detroit from the suburbs to hang out with my cousins because that's were all the fun was. The most that would happen was a fight. Every now and again you'd hear about someone getting stabbed. But, for the most part, it was safe. It's a lot different now.

Case in point; a friend of mine caught some kids in her apartment building doing shit they should not have. My friend asked the little girl about what she'd done, give her a chance to come clean. Just as the girl was about to admit and apologize, the child's mom yelled down from the balcony, "Don't you ever admit shit!" Turns out the mom had been watching the whole time her daughter was fucking up and never said anything. Wasn't her property. She didn't care.

Another time, cousin came over and brought her toddler. My cousin and her mom lived with us for most of her teens. Lil' dude kept acting up and would not listen to his mother (my cousin). So, I stepped in and said, " Boy, you better listen to your mother and sit down." And, that's exactly what he started to do ... until my cousin stepped in and told him he didn't have to listen to me. I wasn't his father. So, he immediately went back to clowning.

That's the kind of thinking and behavior I'm talking about.

 

Being a kid in the 80's, I saw the same thing, too. A lot of the white boys carried Buck knives in leather pouches slid on belts with their blue jeans. The school only allowed this because some of them were in the FFA(Future Farmers of America). I once carried a knife in school(it was a filet knife and it was not the best choice for a camping trip I was taking with the NJROTC). No one carried a Bowie knife. And I saw a lot of fights go on behind the stands at football games(home games). I had heard of fights on Prom night and someone spiking the punch.

 

Well fuck me

Black Friday is quite smooth in Homestead, FL. I guess everyone is calming down because they have to let thanksgiving dinner digest a little bit longer or they can't afford to go shopping this year.

 

I never had any of these issues in the 90's. Bringing a knife to school was a real no-no. Had issues with just getting toys in.
The problem is that most of us are insulated by leaving in cities that had a black government or police department. It is different with folks in st louis county or Ferguson. The stories that I heard were about the police beating on black people in st louis.

 

This is beyond sad and pathetic, and all too common, unfortunately.

Symptom of kids raising kids but the parents have no wisdom because they're kids themselves.

It's like if their children don't figure out the deal on their own, they'll never get it straight from home either.

 

This.


And this is why it's so hard and frustrating to figure out how to break that cycle because it's become the norm that has lead to the current state of many black communities.

 

No shit!!!

Way to divorce cause from effect and absolve the oppressor of its sins against the oppressed.

We see you.

 

I lived in a small southern town where the rumors of some folks involved in the KKK. There was no such thing as a black government. There were black cops but no leadership other than teachers and preachers. My mother told us many sad stories about lynchings along the Suwannee River and other stuff. She simply told me that I didn't have the freedom I had when I lived up north. I had developed a dislike for the town I had to go to high school in. But for my mother's sake, I had to follow the unwritten rules of the south.

 

Was the town mostly black? was the mayor and council mostly black?

 

I'm assuming he's being pretty literal about 'no black government'

You people have it so easy today...I mean shit you have a black president

 

I hate to be Cosby and pontificating in this bitch, but the crowd trying to make a Martyr out of Michael Brown is a joke. He aint no gentle giant, he is no saint. Out of tons of blacks experiencing injustice in America on a daily basis we choose this robber, c’mon. He robbed a fucken neighborhood store, then man handle the owner, then jaywalks, then argues with an officer, then allegedly charge toward him and trying to attack, this is no innocent kid. I am sorry for his family who lost this kid, but the kid brought the issue upon him. Yes his crime does not equal death. But he was not an Eagle Scout black kid who got caught in wrong neighborhood and lost his life, he was trying to win confrontation with the police, unfortunately he paid for it dearly.

Also this case does not equal Travyon Martin in any shape of form. That is false equivalency. Travyon was minding his business when he got attacked by pathetic self appointed neighborhood watch Capitan who can’t even qualify to be a mall cop who murdered that kid cold blooded.

 

Yup. Black people just get your shit together and quit whining. Accept that you're a second class citizen in the country that your ancestors built, accept that all though you didn't create the poverty and drug issues in your area that you're responsible for it, and for the love of God forget about slavery already. Even though every other group wears there hardship with the words Never Forget just accept anything done to you and still being done is suppose to be ignored.

 

Did you read the ME's report? It's online as well as his testimony. I direct you to pages 34 and 63. Read that stuff and then come back and talk this bs.

 

Put up the link fool.

 

What kind of moderator........

 

Do I look like your mother? I ain't spoon feeding you lol

Seriously? You read that whole that report? I agree with VT. Brown didn't deserve to die, but he wasn't innocent of wrongdoing. No comparison to the events in the TM case.

 

Read the part I highlighted page 34 and 63 of the ME testimony please. This shit sounds fishy, I know the theft makes it plausible that he was violent with the cop but just because a woman is a prostitute doesn't mean she can't be raped.
