[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]well, unfortunately, I'm guessing 90% of the robberies in that neighborhood were committed by black teens wearing hoodies.  that is the unfortunate reality.  so while it means nothing with respect to guilt or innocence, it was not totally unreasonable for Z to think the victim was up to no good.  Right?[/quote]

I can't believe what I just read. From what you are saying it follows that a straight A student with perfect behavior, high SES family, wearing a hoodie while black walking though a nice neighborhood, can reasonably be assumed to be up to no good and shot to death. I just wish that people who think like this can be more easily identified as i would not want to have any kind of friendship with such people.

My 10 year old daughter said to me "is it okay for someone to shoot a kid and say he felt threatened by the kid because he was black and wearing a hoodie? Does hat mean that black kids cannot wear hoodies? Even I know that is wrong and if the police did not arrest the man or investigate then they didn't do their job"

Is that what you taught your child to ask? Or if his twitter name should be "no limit n****"?Is your child also asking you if it's ok to get suspended from school for possession of stolen jewelry?

Don't be so sensational. Just teach your kids to be good people[/quote]

Yeah, I wish I could.  Except that my black son, who walks to the store to buy candy and Arizona iced tea all the time, [b]has been suspended too[/b].  I cannot imagine him getting killed by a nut and people offering this information.  So what?  He's been suspended.  He also makes straight As and has an extremely high IQ.  Unfortunately, he is a kid.  A sweet, but sometimes dumb kid.  BTW, they never proved that the jewelry was stolen.  [/quote]

Curious. What for?[/quote]
