[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 13:06. I still don't see one single black person willing (or able) to recognize that when people in the black community protest that they're being mistreated by rioting violently, destroying property, and injuring people they are actually demonstrating the very negative attributes attributed to (some) of them. Isn't there one black person who can say that the riots are hurting their cause - and condemn their actions? [/quote]

You still itching for a response?  
Ahhight I’ll bite.  
Check this out...

It took a little bit more than just Honest Abe signing the 13th Amendment to instigate equality for black people in this country.  
It took work – a lot of work – by a lot of people for blacks to make even the most miniscule gains in this society and there are still gains to be made.  
But little by little and bit by bit and step by step blacks made progress but it wasn't easy...
In order for blacks to make that progress it took bold efforts on both sides of the equation to slowly and steadily inch them closer to equality.
  
It took the calm letters of people like Frederick Douglass and it took the controversial editorials of people like Ida B. Wells.
It took the calm efforts of people like W.E.B. Du Bois and it took the controversial movements of people like Marcus Garvey.
It took the calm voices of people like Dr. King and it took the controversial comments of people like Malcolm X.
It took the calm attitudes of people like Jackie Robinson and it took the controversial stances of people like Jim Brown.
It took the calm courses of action by organizations like the NAACP and it took the controversial attitudes and approaches of organizations like the Black Panthers.

It took a lot of work from a lot of people fighting from all angles to get blacks to where they are today.
It not only took marches but it took riots too and it not only required protest but it required unrest too to get blacks to where they are today.
And the struggle continues...

Having said that – no, I’m not going to condemn a damn thing oppressed people find themselves forced to do in order to advance their struggles because if freedom and equality was so easily obtainable then there wouldn’t so many wars waged throughout history now would there?

Nitpick cherrypick and criticize my comments to your hearts content.[/quote]

You are too smart to even respond to the people who will deny everything you say or minimize it by saying it is not true now, why keep bringing up the past? Some of the white people are fearful that the blacks getting their rights and becoming equal means RELATIVE lose of their own status. But that is just their mind playing games, they are still only as smart or as poor as they have always been. [/quote]
