Those people you're fighting so hard to convince that black victims should be treated like victims because all blacks are perfect....

Are not gonna be convinced regardless of negative media attention

They hated Mandela and MLK

They're not gonna love you bc the lack of black teen fight videos on YouTube/WorldStar

I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you really telling me that in your mind, refraining from promoting shit like what is in that video is the same as saying that all blacks are perfect? If that's the case you got some twisted reasoning going on in your head that frankly just doesn't make sense. There is a big difference between not portraying ourselves as irrationally violent people that will mob up and attack others over the smallest provocation and portraying ourselves as perfect.

As for the rest of your sentiment, it's patently false. If it was true, we'd still be slaves. This isn't Haiti or Jamaica. We didn't fight wars with the white infrastructure and win our freedom. We, along with the whites that we could win to our cause, simply made enough of a fuss to the point where the system changed because that option was the easiest way to go. Not all whites are extreme immutable racists. A lot of them are moderates that will either support our cause or at the very least not oppose it if given cause. Look at many of the early BLM marches, there were plenty of white people out there. The problem with these people is that they are fickle and easily led away. White people are gullible when it comes to racial issues, and that's why its so easy for enemies of our causes like FOX News to disrupt progress we make. We can't really change that, but just because we can't change it doesn't mean we should contribute to it. If the narrative is that blacks are violent and that's the reason police have to be heavy handed with us, why should we go out of our way to do things that reinforce that stereotype. And if we see others in our community doing those things, isn't the responsible thing to speak out against it? I mean, I just don't get why you and others have such a problem with me saying this. When protesting in the way that BLM and other groups are protesting, public perception means everything, so these considerations are the cost of doing business.

Think there's more to the story...

But ppl of all races do irrational, crazy, violent shit all the time...even on video

Why make it about race when it doesn't need to be

Let's just condemn their actions and keep it moving

And what i really take issue with that this idea that we should constantly be vigilant of how we are going to be perceived by Whites rather than just being, living ...

And that this will somehow help our cause because Whites will finally “like” Black people

...

Otherwise any slip up or display of our humanity can be used against us

U seem well intentenioned but feeding into that leaves us no room to make mistakes or in other words be human

I feel what you're saying, I do. But shit like what happened in that video was not a mistake. Putting that shit onto the net was not a mistake. At some point we have to start calling shit what it is and speak out against it. Ultimately that behavior doesn't hurt anyone but us. Hell, most of the time it is black people attacking black people. Why do you have such a problem with condemning. Yeah, I make it a race issue. Why? Because I care about what happens with Black people. If White people do that stuff, I don't give a fuck, it's not going to hurt them. But it will hurt us now and in the future. No Black people don't have to be perfect, but there is no reason we should be doing senseless shit like this. And when people do happen to do shit like this, there is no reason people should be breaking their necks to put it out there for all to see.
 
Local fairs hire pretty much anyone to handle controls on a ride. Didn't seem like it was over a long line but words were being said and he was throwing up hand signs at the end. Probably some beef over some street shit. Slick shit was said. Sounded like he was calling them girls hoes.

He held his own, though. Seemed like he got mobbed rather than jumped.
 
I'm just trying to figure out what homeboy thought was going to happen when attacking dude on the higher ground.

Also I'd be pretty embarrassed if I were that cat with the hi top fade and no shirt on. You see him trying to throw them bitch jump hits from the side out of harms way. And then you see him again run around from the side to try to get some hits from afar in. Suddenly the white dude jumps in there to break it up, High top starts to get in his face and just when I thought he might prove me wrong......He didn't do shit. I could just imagine the story coming from his mouth.
