walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Cracker]

I agree with her post, I believe George was scared, I believe that neighborhood is probably my idea of the ghetto and they do see drive bys & violence daily. Were the people she was posting with disagreeing with her opinion?

Yeah, they get PISSED! That's the problem with struggling cultures, nobody is allowed to have a differing opinion that places the blame on the culture. You have to have the common enemy or you are excluded from the pack. It's the same in poor white communities. If you try to do better or try to understand some of your own failings, the rest lash out and accuse you of trying to be uppity or rich or whitey or whatever. You know a culture has some problems when being seen as successful is a put down. Crabs in a barrel. That's why we have West Virginia.

I think the reactions to that post are stupid.

It gets worse. That place is the Black Mock in some ways. Pretty sure many of the posters are from ATL. You think I'm bad with my bullshit, they are way worse. And it isn't just one Cracker-like-poster there, it's a majority.

I just don't think y'all realize how much hate is out there. That hate keeps them from fixing things. Some people try, they talk about absent fathers and ratchety ghettoness and hair (lots and lots and lots of discussions about black lady hair), but then the discussion will turn to slavery and any good intentions vanish.
