Although I agree with most of what you said I have a small problem with the following.Quote:

How many times do people have to explain, Damn near every tv station is WHITE. Do you watch tv, if so you can see that.Quote:

There's always racist talk about BET already. AMC channel only shows all the classic movies which are all white cast. Lifetime Movie channel's movies are all white family based movies.Quote:

There are white TV stations: NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, ect...Quote:

Take a look at the majority of elementary thru high school curriculum for example. From history to science, the majority of what is taught and learned is "white history". Personally I don't feel that there should be a black history month but, ONLY because I don't feel there should be a NEED for it. Black history is American history and it should be treated as such. The fact of the matter is, there is a need for black history month because without it, many people who contributed so much to the growth & improvement of this country would be otherwise overlooked.
What many people with your point of view fail to understand and realize is that, in this country, white is the default setting. As a kid, I remember asking my teacher why the only "flesh" color crayon looked like a white person's flesh. I remember watching hours of television and not seeing any other race unless we were watching a show that featured other races. The majority of commercials featured white actors, unless the product was specifically for blacks or hispanics. Sesame Street was the ONLY regularly scheduled program that didn't have the default white setting. 99% of hair care products and cosmetics were marked to & specifically made for white people. That very same default setting gave birth to the likes of BET & Black History Month.

Story is pretty sad, espically about the kid bringing the gun into the gas station, then the black kids wrestle the gun from him and then they get charged for theft for taking the gun from him.... absolutely insane.

I just think that ppl are losing sight of the issue at hand which is the kids commited a crime, plain and simple. They deserve to be punished but at the same time, not to the tune of 15+ years.....
No doubt. The same should apply to all of those involved in the other physical altercations that surrounded this incident. To me, this was more about justice. Unfortunately it has been proven time & time again that the color of your skin (and the contents of your bank account) will dictate the amount of justice one will receive.Quote:

Seeing that these are high school KIDS this situation should have been stopped a year ago when it started..
it doesn't matter what happened previous to this b/c they don't charge people on hearsay but on their actions.... i'm sorry but making excuses for criminals just shows how ignorant people can be. "you can't charge them they are black". so basically you and obviously a rally of sheep think it is ok for 6 vs. 1 and to beat someone till they are out cold; furthermore not be held accountable for it?Quote:

I agree hold them accountable but the dispute comes in when the question is asked, does the punishment fit the crime? If so anyone who has been the aggressor in an unfair fight needs to be on trial for attempted murder.. suspend or even kick the kids out of school but significant jailtime for a school yard brawl is excessive.Quote:

All your seeing is, black people marching because they black people cant go to jail.. No thats not the issue.. its being charged and treated equally. like i said before go read the whole situation, and dont go off little small clips you hear about it.

jumping people is the most pussy move u can do
What everyone keeps forgetting is that the one guy facing jail time has a prior record.
PS. I only skimmed this so sorry to all of those that in fact did remember he had priors. :)

what dont you all understand... no punishment is not the issue.. the problem is the punishment.. white black blue or green, hard time for a school fight is crazy.... howm any times have i typed this. and for the 12th millionth time all these incidents are in various police reports.....

But they dont go to jail for months until their trail.. cmon you know this stuff.
i guess cause liek u said he had priors....and catching a 6-1 beating doesnt helpQuote:

When someone joins in on a fight, that is not a fair fight. That is something like a "gang" style beating/fight.
On this being race related, regardless of what Baisden, Sharpton or the County District Attorney say, it is about race. Imagine if this was reversed, 6 white kids on 1 black kid, this would viewed as a hate crime. In reality, it all boils down to a white/black issue.
Just my $0.02cents.

sounds like the wizard of oz. really i undertand your point and a good one at that. but this topic has more things involved than just drive. lol not all black pple think the "white man" is holding them down and not all of us jump on the band wagon of that either. you would be surprised how many pple work for their shit and dont get appreciated, deal with infringement, and other things that involve with being successful.Quote:
