It doesn't take being part of a special group to know that if you don't break laws, you don't get targeted by police.

It's my understanding that the effect of all this foolishness is that the bleakest city centers are becoming moreso.

Good job, idiots. Way to keep yourself down.

Your despotic rulers are surely pleased.

It's funny that the celebrities that are most involved are by all accounts the most detached.

>>>It doesn't take being part of a special group to know that if you don't break laws, you don't get targeted by police.


It's a tad disconcerting that you could remove the words "break laws" from the above and replace it with "think differently".

I've been watching events where peaceful protesters are getting their asses licked by folks who simply do not agree with them and the blame then falls upon the protesters.

The only problems I have with the "Snoop Dog" call is that it is a little male chauvinist, and that it doesn't focus enough on "justice for all".

No problem at all with an organized march, a show of strength, and a DEMAND for constitutional rights and protections.

Snoop has changed gears a lot from when he was a kid on the streets of Long Beach.

He has been dedicating a lot of his own money and personal time into the Snoop Youth Football program, which has helped a lot of kids avoid the pitfalls he faced himself.

He didn't want women and children around just in case his march went sideways... you never know when somebody is going to do something stupid.

Personally, I think he's to be commended for this.

Commended for what? Furthering an agenda based on a false narrative? Stoking the fire of racial animosity?

It's apparent you didn't actually read the article.

Whatever the narrative, the agenda is unity.

It's still news to me that blacks and whites are different species.

I feel like I'm surrounded by societial simpletons, because in fact- I am. Almost everyone I know has an ethnocentric thought or belief in their mind, and the inability to empathize from the points of views of people from different walks of life. This, combined with sensationalistic community leaders that choose to evoke emotions from the masses, create rifts that tear our great country apart at the seams.


I was raised by drug dealers. They were flawed people, but they did spread some good light into my life. I learned from their downfalls, and at the same time- I learned many great lessons from my stoned household leadership committee. One great sliver of enlightenment: I was raised to judge by character, because color is a lie. I'm not religious, but the Bible even fails to tell the difference in color- because there is none.

It is the self-fufilling prophecy. When you raise a child, you mold them to act certain ways, bestow beliefs and traditions, to believe or reject the status quo. In the end, you have created a man or woman with those ideals and ideas concreted into their foundation. The parents are the most important molders of tomorrow's people. And we are FAILING MISERABLY.

I come in contact with many people in my line of work and I have yet to come across a racist. Bigots? plenty, including myself. In fact, almost to the man whether they were black, white or Hispanic they all carried prejudice and conceptions about other races and genders from the benign to the extreme and why? because unless your IQ falls below the threshold of retardation observation will enable your brain to establish patterns and probabilities and thus come to conclusions and generalities based on those observations. Fire burns. Lions kill, etc. It dates back to prehistoric man when fight or flight was essential to survival. Cultures, which have a racial component, are not the same the world over as we all know. Japan, which is very much a homogenious society, has a very low crime rate. West Baltimore, which is also homogenious, very high. Race is not the driving factor of culture but it is a component for the simple fact that people tend to associate with their own kind and in doing so become part of the shared culture. What separates Ben Carson from a thug in West Baltimore? Both are obviously black and grew up in the ghetto. The difference is one rejected the culture of the ghetto and the other continues to wallow in it. The dirty little secret the Democrats and the bleeding heart left don't tell you is they know the inner city black culture sucks ass but they will never publicly chastise that community for it's behavior. Instead, the solution, which is already being implemented, is to change the culture by breaking up the concentration of poor people in certain areas and dispersing them equally in the suburbs in the hopes that by dilution and eventually by cultural osmosis they will fully integrate into the greater American culture. In the meantime, I do not go pet grizzly bears in the wild and I do not go walking about in West Baltimore.

I saw another article that indicated a purpose of the march was to meet with new officer recruits, which is an awesome idea.

SMH... Baltimore hired some shady characters from the neighborhood a number of years back and it was a total disaster. You cant turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. The solution, if there need be one, is not to hire criminals from the neighborhood but to hire qualified people and pay them accordingly.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/15/fe rguson-effect-homicide-rates-us-crime-study

The “dominant interpretation” of the Ferguson Effect, he wrote, is that criticism of the police after the killings of unarmed black citizens causes the police “to disengage from vigorous enforcement actions”. Rosenfeld explores an alternative version of the Ferguson Effect, in which “longstanding grievances and discontent with policing in African American communities” are “activated” by controversial incidents of police violence, and then “chronic discontent erupts into violence”.

Or.. Truth vs. racist leftist fantasy.

Have been thinking. There isn't much racism in the U.S. Certainly not in terms of ideology. What there is, is a very large group of undereducated, socially disadvantaged people and a large proportion of them happen to be dark-skinned. Unfortunately, this makes them easy to self-identify as a group and to be identified as belonging to that group.
Solve the education and social disadvantage problems of the lowest class of U.S. citizens and 90% of race related problems will vanish.

There was a what looked like some sound statistical analysis published recently in the New York Times...

Black men *are* more likely to be involved in a physical act when being arrested than white men are. By something like 20%.

But they ARE NOT more likely to be shot. Not at all. The hypothesis was that anytime a gun is fired, the investigation and paperwork is so deep, behaviors are carefully trained and considered and there just isn't racism present.

This suggests a few things to me (hypothesis, not used by the study)

1) It means blacks probably *were* being killed more often before all the attention and paperwork was introduced. So what is being pushed now is something that is important and that did and likely continues to solve a problem. So it's important, but it's solved so long as we keep working at it.

2) What is causing the disparate violence when black men get arrested? Cops racism? Home upbringing? Cultural values?

So I wish we could celebrate the awesome things America has done without missing that there is more to do in order to be even greater, and that no problems or solutions are simple when people are involved, and with love and thought and submission to a few &^&^%#$%$ facts that may not dovetail perfectly with our ideology and data, we really could improve things.

We think we submit to facts now, but we don't, we took our agenda's and biases with us and use it to mangle the data (on all sides, myself included). When you want to drive an ideological goal, first pollute the pool of science. That way everything becomes opinion.

What we DO have in this Country is a strong, racially diversified group of people that all believe the same thing. That and a whole bunch of others that want to divide and conquer.
What we need to do is focus on our similarities, rather that our differences.
