why is it that black people still......................?

Question

refuse to take responsability for there own actions? every time a black person steals a car and runs from the police and the driver of the stolen car is hurt the black leaders take to the street in protest claiming the cops are the bad guys....Case in point in Chicago cops shoot and killed a 18 year old who ran from the police and then pointed a gun at them. His mother was on the tv screaming the police killed her baby..no..no..no lady you killed your baby by not properly raising your child you let him live a life that put him on a direct couarse for failure and dead ends... Why did he run in the first place? why did he have a gun? why if he is 18 is the only photo you have of him when he was 12? Come on people get your heads out of your asses and try to live a meaningful life. And if you let your child live a thug life the poilce are not the ones taking your childs you are. Work your *** off, get out of the hood, turn off the gangster rap music and stay in school....

Answer 1

blah blah blah

Answer 2

No the police have still killed him you must know that if you grew up in a neighbourhood that was like that you would probably carry a gun too you seem to have no understanding of the reality of these situations
The crack epidemic that has destroyed black communities was actualy started when Regans government imported a load of cocaine from which crack is made from columbia and south America to fund terrorist orgs that were anti communism who needed the money so the US gvmt bought it and then allowed it onto the streets they didnt really care where it went its a little known fact but read a book called "Freakonomics" and its all there.
Regan was questioned about it at the time he did NOT deny it he merely said "I dont remember"
please order Freakonomics you will be surprised I know it sounds unbelieveable but if you do some research it wont take you long to come accross the evidence for this

Answer 3

It really has more to do with the socio-economic gap that unfortuneately has more minorities and blacks on the lower end than whites. Money doesn't solve everything, but it helps with education and education helps people move ahead in life. You would really learn alot from a basic college course in sociology. I realize not everyone has compasion or empathy, but it may help you to be slightly more educated as well. I'm not trying to put you down, but your rant isn't helping the situation these people are in. If you really feel like doing something, mentor someone or volunteer somewhere.

Answer 4

None of this will change until more and more black people realize what most Americans already know. They are more than capable of achieving whatever they wish to achieve if they just stop the "group think" and believe in themselves.

Answer 5

Gabrielle I think he cares because... well maybe black people have an effect in his life? Maybe he lives near some and a lot of violence goes on there? Maybe he doesn't like it that blacks play the race card and win all the time =\

Answer 6

I'll tell this to my friend who's a professor at the university in my state.

She'll be really interested in knowing about what Black People do....LOL

Answer 7

Not only do I find your stamements prejudice, but also hurtful because the term black is offensive to Negroes (the professional term). Black means dark, evil, negative, etc. If you say african american, your saying they came from Africa, and moved to America. I'm not from Africa, I was born right here in the states.

Answer 8

Why is it that you care?? If its our responsiblitys to take care of then obviously its not yours, so therefore dont ask this question, because your trying to take responsibility of our actions.

Answer 9

Drink!

Answer 10

I dont believe putting all people of a color,sex or race toghether is fair
if you look at which group has the most people on welfare its teenage white girls,
I live in seattle,wa
and have seen racism first hand
there are many hardworking people of all races,

Of course race is not a simple topic, and each discussion heads in its own direction. Tiger Woods speaks both of his biracial identity and of how moving it was to see the black staff at Augusta National lined up to see him put on the green jacket as Masters champion. George Lopez talks about the pressures of creating a breakthrough Latino sitcom in an almost all-white industry. Film producer Peter Guber surprises Barkley when he says that he made The Color Purple out of economic self-interest, not idealism. Many of the discussions turn, like Guber's, not to traditional civil rights but to economics, which Rabbi Steven Leder calls the real "last taboo subject in America." It's clear that the audience Barkley most hopes to reach with this book is the young black men and women that he and many of his interview subjects are concerned about. "We're losing," activist Marian Wright Edelman tells him, "and if we don't stop this trend, we're going to be headed back to slavery." Barkley's celebrity subjects can provide some models for success for those readers, but one also hopes Barkley can continue the conversation by turning the spotlight on those struggling with the problems of race outside the sometimes protective glare of fame. --Tom Nissley


Who's Afraid of Talking to a Large Black Man?

Throughout his career, Charles Barkley has always been willing--quite willing--to call it as he sees it, making him one of the most quotable athletes of his era and, many have suggested, a future political candidate. He's as happy talking issues as talking hoops, and for his new book, Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man? he sat down for conversations across the country about the troublesome topic of race in America. We had our own conversation on the subject with Sir Charles: Read it to find why he wrote the book, what he tells his own biracial daughter about race, and why he thinks sports can be a model for race relations.


From Publishers Weekly
Don't let the cheeky title, the byline or the picture on the cover fool you: this is a serious book that's not about Charles Barkley. Instead, this work, edited by the Washington Post and ESPN's Wilbon, is a candid collection of 13 interviews by Barkley with prominent Americans like Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Tiger Woods, Morgan Freeman and comedian George Lopez on the oft-avoided subject of race. Barkley, well known for outspokenness as a player and an on-air commentator, challenges his interviewees to deal with this delicate issue head on. Barkley wisely keeps his opinions brief, letting his dynamic counterparts take center stage. In doing so he gets these stars to open up on how American society fares on such topics as racism, race relations, welfare reform, economic and social discrimination and creating opportunities for minorities. Mixed in with the bigger name celebs and politicians are lesser-known folk, such as Robert Johnson (the NBA's first black owner), the Children's Defense Fund's Miriam Wright Edelman (who laments that there are "580,000 black men in prison compared to about 45,000 who graduate from college each year") and Rabbi Steven Leder. For all the different backgrounds and opinions, all the participants believe the racial divide in America can only be bridged with a combination of reforms to our educational, medical and economic practices and a strong self-evaluation by the African-American community. Everyone also agrees that a core group of strong black leaders must emerge for these changes to be enacted. Surprisingly, this eye-opening book might point to Barkley as just such a
leader

i could go on but, i try not to judge people that
I have no idea what things happened to them to make them do things
anyway good luck to you
