To answer op, it is behavior like this attack on the metro which happens often for no reason. I hear about these unprovoked attacks by African American teens almost daily in DC and this is why they have trouble with police.[/quote]

And what about the unprovoked attacks by whites throughout the country. The police in those jurisdictions have to contend with them as well. But I do understand you PP. When a Black person does something that Black person is representative of all Blacks. However, when a white person does something, he is an individual and is not representative of you. Piss off.

Not the PP - but . . .

So then innocent blacks (hard-working yada yada) are pissed at being labeled monolithic b/c they don't want to be associated with blacks who are - as defined by many on these these threads - "thugs?"  Is that the reason?

As a white person, I am not ashamed of being associated with "white trash," which is also kicked around quite a bit on these threads.  I'm educated and live a comfortable middle class lifestyle, but I'm not embarrassed by my "white trash" brothers and sisters.

So it's about embarrassment?  Or is it about lacking compassion for their brother and sisters who face some difficult and oftentimes deadly obstacles in life?

So perhaps you will tell me to piss off, too, which is fine b/c I don't give two shits.  But I'd like an honest answer from someone.

NP. Most of the time white people get to be individuals. Nobody is looking at Dylan Roof and profiling all crazy looking white boys. Or Adam Lanza UMC looking dudes. Those were the exceptions. You rarely hear people say "fix the problem in your community!!" to white people in relation to the mass shooters etc.

But the worst actors among minorities are judged as the norm for the whole lot and that is fucked up. Can't you see that?

Let's all mull over this quote from the speech GW Bush gave yesterday: [i]"Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions.”[/i]
