It happens all over. I never seen anything like it! This isn't an "i'm against black people" post. I'm not against black people. I'm against the blacks who shoot and kill. It's the gang members, like out here in vegas last weekend for the NBA all-star game. They went into a club, and shots were fired. Gangs were involved, and so was Pac-man Jones of the Tennessee Titans. The club owners and managers are getting death threats now, saying "leave Pac-Man alone!"
It seems like anytime there's a party, or a gathering, or a movie about blacks, that gangs show up it, rival gang members flash signs at eachother, and before you know it, shots are fired. It's not only harming gang members, but innocent bystanders!
This crap needs to stop! But it won't, ever! WHY? Blacks have a short temper, it seems. They need to see counseling or something. This is why blacks will never be free from bigotry and accepted as a part of society A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch!

Yes, i should have included hispanic and asian gang members, too. And any other minority group. There seems to be a lot of gang violence all around, but it's mostly black gangs that you see on the front page of the newspaper that blows away a little girl standing in her kitchen, while blasting their rivals with bullets. It's an "i don't care" attitude! They don't care who gets caught in the crossfire!

If this is something that bothers you, perhaps you should stay away from gatherings attended by Black people, and leave when you see one.

I know! I have tons of black friends, and I invited five of them to my daughter's sixth birthday, because they had kids also. I have never been in a gang, and I'm a professional, not the typical welfare teen mom. One of them came wearing a red velour suit, and the next thing I know, my co-worker was getting stabbed! in front of all these little kids at the zoo! Yelling, cussing, making threats to me because I invited this guy, and I never even knew they were into that kind of stuff. I know whites do it, too. But it's usually just a stupid brawl, and then they get over it, and it's definitely not in with professionals at a kids party, I've never heard of it. But with these damn gangs don't care how many kids get shot, what they see and hear, and what there lives will be like after seeing things like that. Hey, they can replace them right? What's even worse is that whites and mexicans have emulated them and tried hard to get themselves into the gangs that blacks made because they hate us. They can turn any nice place into a ghetto. Youwould think that making as much money as we do that they would want to seperate themselves from the "ghetto" that they whine about so rampantly. But with a little money, they can just spread thier actions and lifestyle to every nice neighborhood they move into. I thought "we" were oppressing them. Now I see that people like me, who befriend them and give them the benefit of the doubt because we don't want to judge by color, are made victims. I am now dealing th threats on my daughter's and my own life because I called the ambulance after three guys started stabbing my coworker because he was wearing a blue button up business shirt, and the others were wearing red. Jeez, I wonder why Reverend Al Sharpton didn't come talk about the violence against blacks after that? Oh, maybe because black on black violence is okay, but when I defended my daughter's life, I was racist.

It is usually Blacks because Blacks In GENERAL(stereotyping), don't have as smart a mind as other race such as asians, or italians, or russians... Blacks tend to not care about their life.. they dont' care about prison, they learn to accept it as LIFE, maybe beacuse through all the slavery time, they just learn to say that its LIFE... so, if they dont' care about prison and stuff, dey go all out...
other races, on the other case, such as asians, care about their life, they are smart.. if they dislike someone, they will almost alll THe TIME, do it organized, plan it out, know which way to run when they comit the crime, Have an ALIbai Ready always....
By the way, Asians are the ones that are known to be the most active in Gun violence.. go do some research..... also.. dont belive in everything that the media says (it is 50% bullshit), asian gun violence usualy don't even get reported because it is so organzied and plotted out that they don't want to report to the public because the rival gang might get information.

The way you go about saying this that is a little harsh, but I think I know where you're a coming from. It's good that you don't stereotype all African Americans. However, to assume that all black people have a short temper and to say they "will never be free from bigotry and accepted as a part of society" isn't right. If the underlying sentiment of one group of people is hatred of another, how can the second group grow as a people?
When we stereotype and discriminate a group of people, we only supress them. Thus, they cannot grow as easily, and change is a lot harder.
The roots go much deeper than that though. All lot of it comes from the way that we have treated African Americans in the past. Generally, blacks do not have as much money as whites do. While there are many exceptions, when a most of group lives in poverty, they are more inclined to turn to crime. They are also less inclined to learn culture. After slaves were freed, they were poor as a whole, so you can see how far back it stems.
I STRESS that they are only inclined, or more likely, do learn such behavior. Don't think that it is impossible for people to change. Instead of blaming blacks for perpetuating a stereotype, we need to create and environment for change.

Dude first of all this wil be reported. Second, any parties that have hot women, lots of money flowing, and booze will bring the bad boys from the cracks. The NBA is a predominately black sport so it has a large black fan base. Now note that most of the violence occured with street thugs. Street thugs are violent- black, white, whatever. Now how many street thugs are going to show up to a party hosted by Bill Gates or held at some boring Country Club.
Black people have a short temper????? You are the definition of a bigot

BLACKS are great people . THEIR talents have blessed our lives. BUT their violence between each other has gone on 4 years.I believe that the rejections over the last 100+ years has caused them to turn inward towards each other .Which is a shame.SO that they take it out on each other. ITS been in the last 30 years that they are getting jobs and acting jobs they deserve. I BELIEVE if your talented that no matter what color you are you deserve a chance. BUT i have worked with some blacks in NC. SOME are great. AND some hate US still , enough to attack your cars, and homes, and our jobs. THIS has been my experience with them. TILL now, i just say hello and keep on going.I wish them the best. BUT as long as they keep attacking and blaming us and shooting each other and people. MANY wont trust them. I KNOW I DONT TRUST THEM. I Want to trust them, but i don't.

People in general are violent by nature but i think blacks get it thrust upon them. As a poor white child in rural America, we had 3 non-residential establishments near us: A mom-and-pop grocery, a library and a church and we hung out at them accordingly. We were shown that life starting poor can be worked through and we all did.
A poor black child is surrounded by pawn shops, liquor stores and currency exchanges... showing them that life is for sale, numbed by alcohol, or rewarding if you steal and sell the stuff.
No matter the race, that environment breeds all the same criminal-types.

Ok first off you're talking about gangs and Black people in the same sentence. So I assume you believe all Black people are gang members. Yahoo Answers is not a place for your bigot views!

I can't argue about the gunfire and gang banging, but not ALL Black people do that or even own a gun. Even though it seems the majority of gangsters use guns, so do cereal killers, White men in the suburbs, majority have riffles, have used them for murder. It's a lot to say about gun violence. And I don't think you're against Black people for what you said. Because I agree the majority of gangs are Black, but doesn't make them number one criminals and murderers.

Look who calling the kettle Black?
You just need to relax, then go back and read what you wrote.
Now it is good to write, get it off you chest BUT most people only keep that writing in a journal when feeling this much angry and frustration.
Didn't they teach you that in counselling?

How many white boys have you seen acting it up and trying to be tough gang members, i see a lot of them too.
If you dont hate black people, why put that into your questions, why not ask why do GANG members do this, not black gang members.
