what about trey von?
Although that is de able what happened to them, I don't think individual acts of crime cons utes a race war. They were motives for their own will.
what about trey von?
lmfao wtf inspired that video, WTF is he talking about
of course most hoodnukkas aren't marksmen but this is out of left field it seems...are their other videos of him talking before and/or after that segment? need some context
There's always a straw that breaks the camels back. Remember the black girls that died that really got the civil rights movement going? There's a breaking point... eventually it will get reached.
The media telling blacks people that they should hate whites is ridiculous. You're like 10 generations removed from slavery and nobody alive today even has great grandparents who were slaves. Thanks To affirmative action and liberals you now have more advantages in society than whites. Quit crying and act like men or else you'll be like the guy in the video terrified of "12 year old white girls"![]()
Is that what you used to tell all your hard ass gangsta friends back when your shtick was reppin' the 'hood?
It's those who participate in race wars that lose, on both sides. Those of us who strive to be colorblind are the winners.
While slavery it's self was terrible, those here in America because of it need to be thankful they are here. What Afro American would want to return to western Africa? So many more opportunities for success$$$$$ here in America than in Nigeria etc.
Stupid OP video is stupid.
There isnt going to be a race war. Isolated riots and so on, sure, of course actually.
Full out race war? What a joke. The word war requires two willing and competing sides. Contrary to popular belief, white people dont want to kill all black people. I would believe, in my limited experience, black people dont want to kill all white people.

I get your point but I have to disagree with quite a bit of this.
Even though slavery was abolished an incredibly long time ago Jim Crow laws were still in existence as recently as the 1960's. Legislation designed to prevent minorities (and black people in particular) from getting ahead in your country isn't something that African Americans were just making up during the Civil Rights Movement that many people can still remember participating in.
If I had to guess I'd argue that a lot of those past experiences have helped shape the perceptions of people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson - and I'm saying that as someone whoevery time I see them on television.
The fact that the majority of American blacks have been able to work their way out of poverty in such a short time period is proof that most of them have taken advantage of the opportunities that are available to them in America.
You need to differentiate better between people from the ghetto and people who have a particular skin colour.
And if your complaint is mostly about the ghetto then I can tell you straight on that they live in a subculture that has completely different priorities than the current mainstream one. Well, actually, the priorities are the same but the way people go about getting what they want isn't. Some of that is backlash and some of that is simply not being raised to know better.
Lastly, it isn't exactly whining to complain about people associating you with criminals when you're a hard-working person who abides by the law. I can't tell you how many white people I've seen who say stuff like "I didn't sell slaves and I don't want to be held responsible for the bad things white people have done in the past...". To suggest that somehow black people shouldn't get the same benefit of a doubt is disingenuous at best and really isn't equal rights.
The stats I was looking at still show that black people are more likely to be incarcerated, more likely to be stopped by the cops, less likely to get hired, and on and on it goes. Between the otherizing that African Americans go through and the fact that many of them have to deal with at udes like this on a regular basis, there's clearly a lot of progress that still needs to be made on both sides.
Stupid Op Dark Reign? It's the le of the video I didn't make it up I posted it purely for its entertainment value.
oh wow i've incited the s fury. run.
Not to be an ass, but did you ever stop and consider that maybe it wasn't a huge conspiracy? I have plenty of black friends, and in my experience my black friends ARE more likely to sell drugs especially pot. Studies show that there IS a correlation between races and IQ which would lead to more ability on the job. For instance, Jews are never unemployed and usually wealthy and it's because on average they are the smartest people in the world, boasting an average IQ of 112 compared to 102 for asians and 100 for whites. Hiring/arresting people in equal amounts just to appease people would be racist in and of itself. It should never be about race at all, just individual people which I think is the case in America.
Basically my point is that sometimes there is a bit of truth to the stereotypes and certain statistics don't mean that the deck is stacked against a particular race. As long as it's mostly the white and asian kids going to college, why wouldn't you expect to see whites and asians getting the jobs? It makes sense. And please don't say that it's easier for whites to go to college than blacks. My family doesn't have thousands of dollars in discretionary income to finance my education, i had to take out the same loans that any black kid can get.
You make it sound like the they are being wrongly accused/incarcerated.
If you didn't, my apologies.

Great article. Highly suggest reading this..
No, I meant/mean the video was stupid, not you. Sorry for the confusion.
Where the have you been?
We need you in the NHL thread
For the tl;dr of the link I posted:
Basically, whites and hispanics are stopped too much (relative to their crime rates) and blacks aren't stopped enough in NYC's crime prevention initiative.
Uh ya, 9 out of 10 exoneration cases are African American. Another reason why the criminal stat sheet is complete bull that people like throw back in our faces. Didn't a black guy just get exonerated from a rape case a few days ago?
Black people are represented poorly which plays a part to the high conviction rates.
these white folk are blinded by their white privilege, of course they're not gonna empathize with the plight of black people. they think everyone is on a equal slate.
whenever we(black folk) express our frustrations with society its always " stop crying" or ":eye roll" or some other bull excuse for them not to take what we say seriously.
this is New York, not many people own vehicles and the ones who do (clear skins) don't live in the inner city like blacks. so of course ya'll will get stopped more.
