Ferguson, Missouri Community Furious After Teen Shot Dead By Police

Something similar happened to me and my family in Lynchburg back in 04. Mofos rather turen away business than have black people in them.
Its really weird.

 

Lol

Most people I know got the hell outta dodge once they started making paper

It's a sad reality that doesn't really help black neighborhoods when your successful people take their wealth, education and whatever else they can contribute away

The poor just keep getting poorer, so to speak

Well

It's called 'Lynchburg' after all

Ur lucky they didn't take you out back and string you up

 

Very true and its unfortunate but we're there only group in this country that doesn't trust anyone who looks like us. I empathize with a lot of these people but when I don't feel comfortable parking my car or walking the streets its not place for me to live. I'll take my sleepy clean little suburb any day. We have pumpkin festivals and hay rides. Yonkers has detectives and crack houses no thanks.

 

It really is crazy, isn't it

I definitely extend a hand and courtesies when I can now, because growing up I was taught to fear/not like my own people

Working with blacks has really changed me because over time, my coworkers started to feel more like family and less like a negative stereotype perpetuated by the media

So, if I can do something to help brighten a day or forge a bond in the struggle, I will, because I know how shitty a hand we were dealt when it comes to race in America

 

Shit, my mother couldn't wait to get me out of Cabrini when I moved back to Chicago with my dad.

I'm glad she did.

 

As you should be. All the people who flee here from worn torn and broken countries were never expected to stay and fix it yet there's this unfair burden put on blacks to fix neighborhoods destroyed by drugs and income inequality.

 

Blacks don't have to fix their own areas

Just leave it to whites

As you guys move out to the burbs and decrease their property value, the whites are running back to the cities

It's like the ultimate game of cat and mouse

 

What will those lyin bastards think of next...........

I'm not denying that one bit. My parents worked to move out of those neighborhoods, not because they were predominantly black but because they were predominantly dangerous. When someone knocks out the power in the neighborhood and your father comes into your bedroom telling you to sleep on the floor tonight. That is not a healthy environment for a kid to grow up in. Many people aspire to what they are exposed to.

That said, I agree that we need to improve conditions in our communities or we will continue to lose 'our' neighborhoods. However, I certainly cannot fault anybody who looks to improve current conditions for themselves and their family, especially where opportunity and safety is concerned.

Successful blacks do and will continue to leave black communities. It does not mean we cannot still invest in those communities to make them more desirable. Blackonomic consciousness is at an all time low. We need more black owned businesses, circulation of the 'black dollar' through those businesses, and improvement in our schools for starters. You don't have to live in the community to contribute to its improvement, problem is it is all too easy to leave and never look back.

 

Very insightful post. :smt038 Well said. 98% in agreement.

You beat me to it.

 

Slam Huey Newton all you want

He didn't have his people hiding their faces

He wanted you to know who they were

 

Video of the cop....no bruises visible. Cops said his face was swollen....

 

But everyone (on the right) said he had an orbital blowout fracture caused by a severe, brutal beating!!!

U mean it wasn't true?!?!!!

Wat about that pic circulating of him laying in the hospital bed with tubes in him n shit????

 

He healed quick. So quick he had the union atty the same day.

 

Someone cue foghorn, leghorn and his stuttering ass

Lol

Seriously tho so many news sites actually ran with the orbital blowout story like it was legit, that it made me sick

People were lying to justifying the killing of a black man.....Jim Crow, here we come baby!

 

To be fair NBC ran that 911 call where they said Zimmerman said coon and later we found out he was saying cold. The old news outlets are desperately trying to hold our attention that's why they do that bs. If we don't watch they don't exist.

 

Lol...funny tho....

Georgie's ole friend says that Zimmerman was indeed a closet nazi
