The question isn’t if there are good black people, it’s if black society rallies around and celebrates these good people or only rallies around the useless criminals.


I agree, but also good people generally don’t need anyone to rally around them

But in all the TV commercials, they’re always peacefully camping, successful financial advisors, or smelling their clean laundry, while bragging about their 850+ credit score.

Career criminal and drug addict.


Thanks. I just looked him up and yep. Damn. Apparently California was soft on crime way before it became cool to be soft on crime. Dude only served 1 year for armed robbery. At least 5 owi arrests and the only one that led to any sort of jailtime was when he was going over 100mph, with pcp in his system, and crashed into a house.. he only received 120 days in jail for that.


Of the 4 times he was arrested for domestic abuse, he was only jailed for two of them, for 90 days each.

Democrats NEED the black product of a failed culture, lack of parentage, lenient law inforcement and judges with agenda - Democrats cannot compete in a field defined by actual productivity, acceptable moral pinnings, allegeance to maintaining and strengthening the strength of the American culture.

Nailed it. I'll add the LBTQXYZ crowd to Democrats need list. The Democratic Party basically has 3 elements. Wealthy elite with a thirsts for even more power, misfits of all shapes and sizes, and the white guilt crowd mostly composed of middle class women.

They seem to choose the absolute WORST cases to agitate around. It’s pretty remarkable how bad they are at finding worthy symbols for a cause.


That’s because the goal isn’t advancing justice (racial or otherwise). The goal is promoting tribalism and increasing racial tension.

They purposefully choose thugs to lift up. If they chose good people who were actually wronged, we’d all say, “Good point. Here’s $5 for their GoFundMe.” That’s not what they want.

I haven't seen this particular conspiracy theory.

Upon looking it up, I assume you're familiar with the fact that black people's version of it has "white people" as the villain instead of the left. White people made up the conspiracy to keep Cosby from purchasing NBC, to be specific.

In either case, they got over 60 women to lie? And none of them leaked anything and all of them stuck to the fabricated story?

A social media post by a black man hit post hit my page. He basically tore up the American African culture saying they are low IQ and defend the most violent black criminals and think a black man going to prison is racism. That they are vermin and he does not stand with them and will separate himself from them.

The comments were interesting, with one saying even Malcolm X said to separate from this type of culture.

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I would remove Rodney King from that list and move him to a level right below. He was a drunk and a drug user, but he did not deserve that beating that he got from those cops. The other 4 were POS.

He was a career criminal. In 1987 according to a complaint filed by his wife, King beat her while she was sleeping, then dragged her outside the house and beat her again. King was charged with battery and pleaded "no contest." He was placed on probation and ordered to obtain counseling. He never got the counseling.

In November of '89 King, brandishing a tire iron, ordered a convenience store clerk to empty the cash register. The clerk grabbed the tire iron, causing King to fall backwards and knock over a pie rack. King swung the rack at the clerk and fled the store with $200. King was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree robbery, and intent to commit great bodily injury. In a plea agreement, King pleaded guilty to the robbery charge and the other charges were dropped. He was sentenced to two years in prison, but was paroled on December 27, 1990.

He had 5 more arrests after his famous altercation with the police on March 3, 1991.

Black people who work hard or lift themselves up in society are the worst thing that can happen to black leaders like Jesse Jackson. There is no grift if the people you are leading start leading themselves. They need failure so they can scream and cry and keep their role making money of their people.

Weak straw man. Weaker than usual for the mid brains on this board.


Like the midbrain that just labeled Tamir Rice a thug/bad apple? Breona Taylor? Sitting in her apt, minding her own business. To outright blame her death on the cops on the scene is at least misguided, and to lump her in with Karmelo Anthony is just plain stupid - no other perjorative needed since there's not much one can do about mental deficiency.

Lot of truth to Walsh's statement, but then you and your ilk want to take it oveboard, as usual.

If you cant realize the guy is a grifter, that's not my problem.

He is no different than any of these media figures. He just says what he thinks will get him likes and views.
