Yes, tradition.
There's a reason why the same sad stereotypes and negative perceptions and disparaging conceptions about African-Americans remain prevalent and persistent to this day...why they persist in perpetuating from one generation to the next, and it has nothing to do with the actions or attitudes of the people in question. Believe it or not, blacks don't own the copyright on criminal activity nor do they exemplify the essence of violence or decadence as so many so adamantly insist. Quite the contrary, humanity as a whole is guilty of those distinctions not just blacks. Every race every religion every culture and every community across the face of this Earth is all too familiar with war and hostility and delinquency and villainy, but the reason that African-Americans remain renowned as the poster children for such savage behavior is simply because it's traditionally accepted as fact whereas with every other people on the planet it's conveniently customarily downplayed or excused somehow or outright ignored altogether.
So ironic...so sad...
While the customs and traditions of the original enslaved Africans were wiped out altogether the customs and traditions imposed on them by their slavemasters remain resounding and resilient to this day.
Sigh.
Have your fun folks.
State your supposed facts and support them with your shallow observations.
Continue that proud tradition of solely casting people of color in the role of the sinister and reprehensible.
Perhaps your insistent efforts can keep these sick twisted perceptions going for another few hundred years.

PP, yes it does. It's time to stop pointing the finger at White America as the sole source of the problem and accepting that the AA community has work to do. They DO need to change some of their attitudes and behavior. Bill Cosby (just one example) has been saying this publicly for years.

Also, no one on here has suggested that AAs are the only people on the planet associated with violence, or that everyone else's bad behavior is explained away. On this thread, for example, is a discussion of white serial killers. Who is excusing that? The news is full of uprisings in the Middle East. Who is excusing that?

And to your last point: Most white people living in America today are NOT descended from slaveowners. Most of us are descended from subsequent waves of immigration, some to escape persecution and starvation. These immigrants were dirt-poor and never owned slaves, so your suggestion that we whites are mired in some tradition of treating AAs a certain way from the olden days is ridiculous and insulting.

This makes no sense. You are still saying he deserved to be shot. Just like Trayvon deserved to be shot because he smoked pot, right?

How suddenly things change when Brown turns out not to be the angel painted by DCUM and media. Those were some serious 'supposed facts'. Even with video and positive ID, were denying the truth about Brown. Hilarious to watch happen

How is that delusional? It's true of many white people in this country. Why can't you stop lumping US all together and assuming we are all racists?
