Another shooting in the ATL

Nice sweeping generalization. I doubt you spend much time with anyone in the black community because if you did, you would realize a significant number of them hate it when they see black people doing stupid shit just like anyone does when someone does something stupid that reflects poorly on them. You really think the black community wishes there were more hoodrats on TV getting tased by security guards, getting in fights on buses, etc?

I spend all of my time with people in the black community. I live in a predominantly black area. Most of my friends and co-workers are black. I recognize what you see, but where we disagree is the "significant" number. I have two older black friends and they are two of the smartest people i know. You're right that they do not like black people doing stupid things that reflects poorly on them, but they are very much in the minority. I also witness them being attacked by other black people. One of them is retired military and openly a republican. Black people are not allowed to be republicans....... if you're black and claim to be a republican, you'd be better off putting on a clan hood. Even though this guy is respectful, intelligent, highly literate and speaks his beliefs clearly, all the other black people attack him.

What i witness in the black community is a pack mentality. "you vs the world". It's evident in almost every aspect of black culture. You only want what's good for you, collectively. It's as if the america is a football team.... and black people are it's Terrell Owens.

Also, it runs deeper than just the black community. Black leaders and celebrities who have a platform to speak to the black community, do very little to change the problems. Black people are made to believe that they are nothing more than victims of circumstance. Everything happening around them if of no fault of their own.
