re: Another teen shot by cops in Missouri - close to Ferguson

I am in health care and work in the black communities. I go to places where idiot white people think they would get their throats cut if their windows were down. I find these places friendlier than white neighborhoods. I love black people. Everything I said above stands, though.

Not all black people are like you think or even think the same way.

I agree. But i think the problem is there is an inconsistency with how the black community (in large) wants to be viewed. When something happens to a black person (especially by someone of a different race) it happens to all black people and affects all black people, because they are a people with great empathy/unity for each other.

The minute a black person (or even a large percent of them) does something wrong, thats an individual. You cant attribute that to them. They are no longer a unified body.


You cant have it both ways. You cant wear shirts that say "I am Michael Brown" and then call me racist when I view you as someone who might rob a convenient store and assault the owner. You told me over and over that you want to be associated with him. That he was your representative and you his.
