[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that they do teach their kids to be respectful, but they are teenagers. Teenagers do what they want and are frequently stupid. Difference is a white teenager is unlikely to get shot for it. [/quote]

I'm wondering if there is a dialogue going on in AA homes that is very blunt saying -- we think it's unfair this kid was killed but that's how cops are sometimes, so if you are ever stopped, do exactly what they say. Because the dialogue going on publicly is how terrible this is. It is terrible but the notions about black teen boys aren't going anywhere any time soon -[b]- so why not drill it into their heads how one must act as a black teen?[/b] Why not tell them it's unfair but that's how the world is instead of giving them ideas that protesting and demonstrating will change the underlying attitudes. I feel like this should be drilled into their heads the same way you drill in things like seatbelts every time you get in a car.[/quote]

Yes, drill it into their heads to become complacent and listen to what massa says. Tell them to keep their eyes looking down and move over off the sidewalks when a white person walks by.  Oh shit, they tried that and it didn't work then. [/quote]

It doesn't help to take it to the other extreme either by taking up the entire sidewalk when walking down the street. Or talking loudly and crudely just so you can challenge someone who might look up and you take it the wrong way.[/quote]

Lord, have you been to Bethesda when school is dismissed. Those are white kids talking loudly on their phones and taking up the entire sidewalk. I guess you only notice when the black youth do this. It's not a race thing, it's an age thing. But you only see race, one way. [/quote]
