@73 I don’t remembering typing anywhere that a child doesn’t need both parents in their life.I agree children do mimick what they see, but just because you’re father is a good man doesn’t mean you are going follow his lead, and just because your son doesn’t act right doesn’t make you a bad father or lesser of a man. That’s what I was saying. So like I said it’s something that you yourself have to figure out. Because alot people have alot of different opinions in what a man is.One thing about being man is making decisons and choices on your own. You can’t be doing that if your following your dad’s footsteps. I agree with what you said though.

more black men are going to jail because the majority of black parents are a total failure, black people will justify anything and everything even things that cant be justified, i dont believe race has anything to do with it, why? because i`m a black man myself i have never been on drugs one day in my life, i have never sold drugs one day in my life, i have never had a misdemeanor or let alone a felony in my background why? because i was raised not to look for trouble, i was raised to learn how to respect not only the laws but people in general, i was raised to learn to make the difference between what is wrong and what is right, the absolute majority of those good-for-nothing negroes deserve to spend the rest of their damn lives in penitentiaries, white people are not the ones asking motherfuckers to spend the day on street corners selling poison so they can wear $250 sneakers, nothing wrong with sneakers that expensive but just dont do something unlawful to get ahead, every other day burger king, macdonalds, wendy`s, popeyes, kfc are hiring but no! these idiots would rather smoke weed and drop school or just become society-reject than to struggle and live a law abiding life,
to those of you running your mouths about te absence of male figures for these men, you`re just a bunch of morons and part of the problem, because a child can be raised very well by a single father or mother, even if in the first place it has been designed for 2 parents to raise a kid, as far as i`m concerned i have done every kind of jobs you can think before getting to the point where i am now! i have been a busser, barback,dishwasher, you name it but guess what? i have my freedom and i have my peace, we`re not in the 50s so please sqave the race card for yourselves, black female teeenagers are walking around the streets with babies at 14,15,16,17 how is it white peoples fault? black kids in this country are very rude, very impolite,very ignorant they`re just so badly brought and they think thats the norm, when they realise its not, its probably too late, in this country once you have a felony in your background well its a wrap………chances of ever having a decent job are next to none
LEAVE WHITE PEOPLE ALONE

I think O.J. did it and we all know that the man is guilty.

Suge just needs to sit down.

Why is that they always focus on the brothers in jail?Can we focus on the educated brothers?We seem to knock the brothers down so why should anybody care (even the brothers who got something going on in their life)?We seem to forget that MANY of our black men are educated we focus too much on who is in jail, who’s going to jail.You can’t live their life because people going to make their own decisions anyways.

I agree with #70. Honestly, they have a shady past and they were suspects the cops saw at the shotting. I live around the area where the cop killer was shot a couple of days earlier and it was crazy that day. I don’t blame them for being on edge considering the officer was shot while leaving his car (per reports). If it were the run of the mill, everyday thing that happened then yes I would see why people are outraged but given the fact that the one guy supposedly looked like a suspect, I could see why they are on edge.

I do think it was a bit excessive but all suspects have a criminal past so it’s not they were exactly saints like people are claiming them to be. What about the shooting victims? The guys may have not been the shooter but they are just as guilty if they are the people who were there.

There is so much scrutiny on what a cop can and can not do and then you have media outlets cutting and pasting information. If the officer in the above mentioned case, shot at the suspect before anything he would have gotten criticized but he didn’t and now he is dead. Just putting out a different perspective.

yeah ! i also have to agree with the brotha that stated that sistas are a failure at raising kids, because the majority of these black men come single parent household headed by their black mothers, so the good thing to do is black women just need to acknowledge their failures as well for not giving these kids the moral and spiritual foundation they need to be “men“
its always about absence of male figure this, absense of male figure that, i swear i have never seen a black woman taking responsibility for her actions, its alwyas somebody fault and this is why black women are probably the only women in american who become grandmothers even before they reach 4o yrs old! what excuse do you have? lets not go far, i`m sure among the female who blog on this site a good number of them were mothers by their teens, those who are not probably have kids with good-for-nothing negros based on the choices that they themselves made but who is taking the heat? black men as usual.White america already has an obsession with black men then black women have jumpted ship(nothing suprising there), the only time some of you( sistas) pretend to have any interest in black men is when some of them become successful by american standards, because in america when white people have a problem,……..black women jump ship so its like many of you are so desperate for recognition that you will sell your own just so you can “fit“, i have volunteered at some soup kitchens and i have met black men who asre homeless because they`re paying child support…………..hello ! but tomorrow when these kids fail guess who will be blamed black men ! i went to school white kids who in their majority were raised by their single parent white mothers but why dont they end up in jail like black kids raised by their black mothers? how many white women do you know of or hear running their mouths about white men this or white men that, the funny thing is when the minority of black men who make it succeed in doing so, their black mothers are all over the place they want to take all the credit even in reality they didnt do much for that kid
man its hard, to all the positive brothas out there just keep your heads up

Im surprised nobody has responded to number 9’s response. Look obviously you would think the police had a “right” to beat those three people after a chase because you didnt read the stats right. The stats did not say that white women deal more than white males! It just says that those that do get caught under the law, black men and women are more likely to be found guilty. Back to the beating, it is innocent until proven guilty. Their goal is to get a hold of the men and arrest them…and NOT beat them to their discretion because they put their lives in danger.

I AGREE WITH #15 100% REGARDING OUR BLACK MEN AND CRIME….ENUF SAID. BUT THE POLICE BEATING THE HTREE MEN ARE OFF THE CHAIN ESPECIALLY IF THEY WILLFULLY PLACED THEMSELVES AT THE MERCY OF THE OFFICERS BY LYING FACE DOWN ONTO THE GROUND. DONT GET IT TWISTED THOUGH THESE THUGS SHOT 3 PEOPLE PRIOR TO THIS BEATING…SO I MEAN WOW THESE THUGS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND CONSEQUENCES ALSO….UNBELIEVEABLE ON BOTH PARTS OF THE STORY

No 7 said it all
” however, we know the bricks are stacked against us so why do we continue to play the game. Drugs have never led anyone any where but jail and death” ..
..and I will conclude this by saying this in the words of Napoleon Hill ” If a man is right , his world will be right” Change comes from within.

as for the 3 dudes that were beaten by police, i can’t call it. 4 men were said to be in a car and rolled up on some people standing outside. the men jumped out the car and fired shots at the people who were outside. 3 people were hit. the men tried to flee the scene by getting back into the car and one of them escaped on foot. the police caught up with the suspects and pulled them out the car and beat those asses. i think it is a toss up. it can be either or. the suspects shot 3 people. are the police wrong for fucking them up?? i can’t call it.

we all know oj killed wife. he did not want her to be with anyone else. i think it was a crime of passion.he will reap what he has sown.

First, you black males producing these babies, even if you’re not with the mom, ya need to be a parent. I am tired of us blaming the “white-man,” does that fix anything? Hell no it doesn’t. We can yell racism, they are out to get me and whatever the fuck else we want. Until we take responsibilty for ourselves, things won’t get better.
I am belong one of Magic’s 24HrFitness gym in the L.A., and the shit’s falling apart. Who we gonna blame. A brother said it best, we talk, white folks act.

@BREAK IT DOWN, obviously you didn’t read my post with comprehension. Second what does the police brutality have to do with the above statistic. Your not making any sense. Please just stop. Nowhere in my comment did I said that I condone what those officers did. In fact I even typed a disclaimer in with caps saying I didn’t so please quick trying to tell me what I’m thinking. All I said giving the circumstances of what was going on, I can some what see why they beat the men, I didn’t say I agree with it, but I can some what understand it. That whole innocent until proven guilty is a bunch of crap and you and I both know it. If hadn’t they have ran, been involved in a shoot-out, have a shady pass that the police knew about, none of this would have now would it?

It’s funny how some of y’all are starting to point the finger at the black man or the black woman. When both are the blame equally. Black people want to use the white man and the system as to why things are so messed up.” This system isn’t made for us.” You know what it doesn’t matter because if you do what you have to then you wouldn’t have to worry about it. The government(Now that is because they probably did back in the day) don’t just randomly pick a black man or black woman or any race for that matter to go to jail. No, the people get caught doing something wrong and they get arrested and are sent to the courts. Now here’s where the racism comes in. True a black man might get a harsher judgement than a white man, it don’t happen all the time but it does happen. But doesn’t that person still have his own self to blame? I mean if hadn’t done what he did in the place then he wouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place. Look you can’t look for perfect government when it’s run by imperfect people and that the truth. There’s always going to be injustices. Just make sure your doing everything you can do so that you don’t have to be put in that situaution. You are in control of your own actions no one else is. Like someone else said let’s pay more attention to the good things .

Why is y’all acting like the single mother issue is a black only issue? This happening worldwide. Some many solutionsand yet not one of y’all is willing to put in the work.

i think people are missing the point with the drugs statistics. its not about who gets lock up more. its about our people selling and promoting selling drugs. this is a wake up call to all the young jeezy’s and jay-z’s of the world. your not helping black people, you are destroying us. stop promoting this street and drug life, for your own selfish gain. we as black people should strive for better and stop supporting this trash and letting our kids fall into a life of drugs, stick up crimes, and jail time, because when you get locked up young jeezy and jay-z wont be there to bail you out and no ones going to give you a break. this is where the stigma of young black people carrying guns and or drugs comes from, and the way things are going it becomes more true everyday.

p.s number 28 is right 1000 percent.
also im a black nypd cop.

FUCK EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU JOCK JAWED BITCH ASS MUTHA FUCKAS WHO TALKIN SHIT ABOUT ME. I’M GON MURDA EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU NIGGAS. Y’ALL CAN SUCK MY DICK!! I DARE ANY ONE OF YOU MUTHA FUCKAS TRY AND RUN UP ON ME. I’M GON LAY YO ASS SIX FEET UNDER BITCH!! I’M GON HANDLE THAT MUTHA FUCKA MYSELF. I AIN’T THE TYPE OF NIGGA TO GO RUNNIN TO NO POLICE. I AIN’T NO SNITCH ASS NIGGA. IN THE STREETS, WE HANDLE THIS SHIT STRAIGHT GANGSTA. WE’LL SEE WHO THE PUSSY ASS NIGGA IS WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT MUTHA FUCKA!!

As much as we don’t want to admit, the cold truth is we do commit more crimes than any other race. It’s just sad how dead beat black parents don’t nature their kids and they grow up to be low lifes mugging and sticking up innocent people even for a nickel or even killing for a nickel. We really need to get involve in our kids lives and educate them about what to do and what not to do. It’s just pathetic. Even if you go to the market a few doors down the street, black senior citizens will act a fool and immature more than any other race.

How was this proof? He didn’t cite any sources and concrete evidence that OJ actually said this to him.

Just playing Devil’s advocate.

Notice how Cochran has died and so has Kardashian, both two major players in the case.

Yes, all human beings eventually die of old age LOL.

@Ms Mac

I’ve always addressed the weakness of the black male but people read everything and retain what they want. I’ve had numerous debates on this site with effeminate black males and I’ve dealt with them accordingly. The black man will always be the lynchpin but the fact of the matter is that America is predicated off of a strongly feminine vibration which needs to be addressed. You cannot deal with the black man and his issues until we analyze that fact. You can’t catch fish if you don’t know which way the stream is flowing. This is why I SPECIFIED that my issue was not with one demographic but with the purposeful societal construct because I anticipated a response like yours. This is a extremely deep issue which cannot be resolved with simple black male mentorship because there is no gurantee that a “working” black male is qualified to be a mentor. The children can’t be taught until the adults are re-taught because contrary to what many black college and graduate school alumni believe, the majority of them don’t really know a damn thing (Heb 5:12-14). Once again, that subscribes to the societal view, held by many sisters, that a black male with a job is automatically “successful” and thus qualified. Legal employment is integral and duly noted but it is a branch, not a root. Many sisters stress it to the point where it’s obvious that it is the prime mover. In my opinion, the fact of the matter is that many sisters feel that they are completely above reproach so when their laundry is aired out to even a percentage of the degree that the black males’ dirty laundry is aired out, the response is usually incredulity that 1) a black male has enough of a thought process to see what’s going on 2) that he would dare address the black woman or the white establishment when his “shit ain’t straight”.

Everything that I think and say is through the prism of the Lord’s Word and I know for a fact that the things that people say, particularly in regards to the condition of blacks in America, is through the prism of putting hope in the future of America. Thusly our outlook and plans will be diametrically opposed. I don’t speak in “theories” because they are speculative and subscribe to the vanities of people. The scriptures speak expressly, in all honesty, that the sisters are against black men and against the order stipulated by the Most High (Ecc 7:26, Isaiah 4:1-4, Micah 7:10, etc.). The goal of the sisters and black people in general, from what I can glean, is this strange fantasy where both black men and women take over American politics and corporate America, essentially taking the place of caucasians (proving that whites are the idols of black people in America). Please correct me if I’m wrong because if the goal is to be equal, it’s not going to get any better than it is because according to the laws of the land, blacks are already equal so I have no idea what our people are shooting for. No two things are equal in the universe so it’s obvious that the doctrine of “equality”, which is an offshoot of socialism, was contrived to seduce the simple and the disenfranchised.

In regards to the “fairer sex” the scriptures tell us that everything that is written aforetime is written for our learning (Rom 15:4). When you read Genesis 3rd chapter, it’s clear that Satan is dealing with the woman at a higher level and that she is in turn used to seduce the male. Our people fell into slavery on the slaveships because they refused to keep the laws of God (Deut 28:68, Isaiah 5:13). The black male has fallen because for any people to fall, the men must fall because the Lord deals with the men (Prov 8:4). From antiquity, to destroy a people you destroy the young boys (Exodus 1:16,22). The same men that are worshipped by many sisters, like Dr. King, were the ones that helped to disenfranchise the black male mentality by seducing blacks into a belief that white was better. In any society, if the women are in an elevated position over men, it is indicative of confusion and an adherence to satanic doctrines (Isa 3:12, Jeremiah 31:22). This is not “misogyny”, it’s predicated off of the Word. I hear sisters complaining about the “solidarity” of the black male but the fact of the matter is that the confusion that black men find themselves in allow women to exalt themselves and play both the victim, conqueror, and “savior” of the black community. This is why, since you brought up welfare and these other programs, one of the “incentives” of these programs is that there is no male in the household.

KMT!!!! as if we dont no already. NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH U DONT SAY. whoeva dat realeased dat statement wasted their time.

we get blamed 4 everything!!!! why?

@81

The black male is the most hated creature on the face of this earth by far.

“virtually nothing to do with race; it has to do with crime.”

LIAR!!LIAR!!!!LIAR!!!!!!!

@76>>>Redbone, I completely understand where you are coming from. I know there are no guarantees in life. I understand that once a person gets to a certain age, they have to take responsibility for their actions, but guidance at a young age is very.

@81>>>Pete, you can talk all that shit all you want to, but after a certain age people have to take responsibility for THEIR OWN ACTIONS. Quit giving black men a pass. If you’re a grown ass man, it’s time to stop blaming mama for your issues. If men would quit hittin and leaving, maybe these black boys would be taught something. Grow the hell up! What about the successful brothas raised by black women? There are a lot of them, ya know? You obviously have a stick up your ass when it comes to sistahs and it’s so typical of someone of your ilk to blame the mother when his black ass couldn’t control his hard penis and decided to have sex. Get the heck outta here with that nonsense. I’m sick to black men like you who always want to blame the women. Yeah, I said it and I DON’T take it back.

Judah,

I won’t get into a back and forth with you because I know you got STAMINA. lol
Let me just quantify all of my points and address some of yours:

1) “Once again, that subscribes to the societal view, held by many sisters, that a black male with a job is automatically “successful” and thus qualified.”

I never said that success was solely based on the number of zeroes behind a paycheck or a college degree. I did say, specifically, however that a person should define their own success, whatever that is. This means that even if you don’t have a great job or earn a lot of money, the fact that you overcame some sort of challenge in your life (drugs, poverty, etc) is enough reason for another Black man to share that with a Black boy/man who may be able to benefit from that knowledge, experience, insight or wisdom. (Ahem, didn’t YOU just say something about people reading and retaining what they want? Geesh. lol)

2) “In my opinion, the fact of the matter is that many sisters feel that they are completely above reproach so when their laundry is aired out to even a percentage of the degree that the black males’ dirty laundry is aired out, the response is usually incredulity that 1) a black male has enough of a thought process to see what’s going on 2) that he would dare address the black woman or the white establishment when his “shit ain’t straight”.

The pot can’t call the kettle Black, especially when that pot is BURNT. Many sisters do act with incredulity when their shit is called on the carpet. However, why don’t we focus on the issue at hand. It’s not always as easy to put the mirror up to one’s own face and see the Devil within. So, the fact that a Black woman is quick to address a Black man’s flaw doesn’t make that man’s flaw any less real. And, being that you’re a Black man, instead of focusing on the fact that Black women are flawed, why not try holding up the mirror to your Brethren? If Black men have the thought process, USE IT. Stop going back and forth trying to convince us how much our shit stinks when yours is just as putrid. Instead, work on making your shit stink a little less.

3) “The goal of the sisters and black people in general, from what I can glean, is this strange fantasy where both black men and women take over American politics and corporate America, essentially taking the place of caucasians (proving that whites are the idols of black people in America). Please correct me if I’m wrong because if the goal is to be equal, it’s not going to get any better than it is because according to the laws of the land, blacks are already equal so I have no idea what our people are shooting for. No two things are equal in the universe so it’s obvious that the doctrine of “equality”, which is an offshoot of socialism, was contrived to seduce the simple and the disenfranchised..”

Interesting, I don’t seek “equality” because I know it’s an unattainable goal. What I seek is balance. There’s a difference. I’ve never believed that man and woman could be “equal”, and I certainly don’t think Blacks and Whites can be equal. I strive for a sense of understanding, as it relates to Black male/female relationships. Example: Understand that you (Black man) can’t successfully dictate what I (Black woman) do if you (Black man) haven’t established your own standards of which YOU adhere to. That whole ‘do as I say, not as I do’ is what has led to the destruction of the Black family to begin with. If a Black man doesn’t stand for anything or have a clear definition of who he is, wouldn’t it be foolish of me to follow behind him? Brothers and sisters need to understand their roles and act accordingly (however they define those roles for themselves). But I can’t be schooled by someone that has never been taught correctly. As far as taking the place of the Caucasian, I don’t seek that either. This is not the Black man’s land so that too is an unattainable goal. Anything we’re given is merely akin to throwing a dog a bone. I don’t fool myself with that so on this we can agree. NEXT.

4) “When you read Genesis 3rd chapter, it’s clear that Satan is dealing with the woman at a higher level and that she is in turn used to seduce the male.”

So, to be seduced, doesn’t one have to make themselves susceptible to seduction? And, if one allows themselves to be seduced, doesn’t that speak to one’s inability to remain strong? So what’s really good Judah? Are you saying that nothing is the Black man’s fault because he has been led astray and seduced by the Black woman? Are you serious? lol. I’m merely asking a simple question: When responsibility does the Black man have as it relates to the position he is in now? Does the Black man have any responsibility? I really don’t think you’ve answered that one pertinent question.

Not surprisingly, I didn’t expect you to see my point. But why should you? After all, I am a female and we all know how you feel about females (inherently temptress with low morals and Devilish tendencies, who goes the way of the White man). lol.

I have no problem learning and understanding a different point of view. It’s just a shame that you always think there’s only one correct point of view (yours). It’s always interesting reading what you have to say either way. I look forward to your response.

Peace

First, let me say that this very much have to do with RACE. How can you just dismiss this fact. We never here about black males in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, China and even Africa. Only in America, the failure of the black Americans, a targeting scheme to emphasize the hatred that is already embedded in RACISTS. Black Americans were used as test tubes for vaccination. Now their being used for prison, there is a big $$$$ for running prisons. I’m not contesting that the statistics aren’t true, it’s more or less a daily reminder for Blacks. You can look at several ways whether it be good or bad.

Second, I may sound offensive, but why do Blacks even stay in America after the evidence of hatred. Last, I think that integration was the biggest mistake of all black lives and we’ve become trapped in a system (government) that controls us. I know I may catch a lot heat for saying that but look at Haiti for example, they are not the richest country but they will not allow America try to run or govern them, Period.

#96 not by white women

WHAT I FIND A LITTLE DAMINING IS HOW SOME OF THE COMMENTARY SOME OF THE VISITORS HERE ARE MAKING AS PANTING THE TEENS GUILTY. AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME IT’S STILL THE POLICE OFFICER’S WORD AGAINGST THE TEENS. THEY STILL HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT, GIVE THEM THAT BEFORE YALL SAY “THEY SHOULDN’T VE BEEN DOING X-Y-&-Z…” OR WAIT FOR HARDCORE EVIDENCE TO SURFACE.

Okay…So, what are we going to do about all this? It’s not like we didn’t already know this!

LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE SAID, NOT MUCH WE CAN DO AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AS FAR AS RACIAL ISSUES IS CONCERNED, THE LAST REALLY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION I CAUGHT A PIECE OF THIS YEAR THAT WOULD BEGIN TO BANDAGE OR BRIDGE THIS LIFE LONG DEVICE KNOWN AS RACISM, IS A DOCUMENTARY CALLED “MEETING DAVID WILSON” EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE IS THE PANEL DISCUSSION THAT AIRED ON MSNBC LAST MONTH ABOUT THE FILM. THIS TYPE OF FILM NEEDS TO BE SHOWN IN ALL SCHOOLS, PLACES OF BUSINESS, CHURCHES, ORGANIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT, ETC…

no police officer should be kicking anyone, i don’t care what they did.

I think that its great that everybody is giving out an opinion without getting nasty.

Blacks & Crime:
Like many you have said its nothing new in our community and its a shame that we know this and we’re not doing anything about it(myself included). Now i have a disagreement about the role of fathers. Now it would be nice if we could have fathers in the household but its not a part of our reality. I was mainly raised by my mother and grandmother; my father didn’t really have a hand in it especially when i was going through puberty…………….well the point is I turned out all right. I’m getting ready for my senior year of college, I don’t have a record of anything, and I take care of business. Everybody is pointing the finger instead of seeking out a solution to better EVERYBODY in our community. We are our greatest ally and enemy. Remember that. Also shoutout to #63 cause that was truth you typed.

Police Beating
Ugh if your eyes remain closed to the fuckery after this then we’re doomed.

OJ Simpson
This dude is throwing dirt on my nickname lol. This is a prime example of when connery goes wrong. He has a history of drugs abuse and violence against women. Everybody and their grandma know he did and he let us know how with the book. If thats not arrogance to the fullest I don’t know what is. So may he go jail and live out the rest of his life as an infamous z-listed asshole.

People Please.. The Justice system in the United States is NOT about Race or Racism it’s about MONEY. if you DON’T HAVE IT then you’re GUILTY. if you HAVE it then you can PAY to get off. sad but true.

It’s funny how some feel they know the scriptures, yet they don’t actually get the sense of them so they throw the scriptures in whatever they feel that applies to subject at hand. It’s funny to me.

@82 nowhere did i condone the actions of the police officers. What does this have to do with the statistic above? Please just stop while your ahead. Obviously you didn’t read my comment with comprehension. all i said is that giving the circumstances, i can some what, i don’t agree with it, but i some what understand the beat down. had they not been invloved in a shoot-out, have a shady past that the police knew about, and ran from them, none of this would have happened now would it?

It’s funny how some are blaming the black man for our troubles than there are some who are blaming the black woman for our problems. I guess it never occured to anyone that maybe they are both to blame equally.people be killing with this whole white man conspiracy theory. yeah there’s racism but not every white person is a racist. let’s not forget it was a white man that freed the slaves. last time i checked the law doesn’t throw any ol’ body in jail no matter what is the color of their skin. ( Correct me if I’m wrong with some hard evidence) No is there racism in the courts, YEAH!! but then if that person obeyed the law they would’nt have to worry about that know would have? people want to blame everyone but themselves for their struggles, it’s really sad.

Another thing too, AGAIIN I’M NOT CONDONING THEIR ACTIONS. But I would love to see how some of you would handle the situation. everybody is right when they said they shouldn’t done that but they’re imperfect. y’all saying i don’t care what the person done, nut yet if this was your family member that was shot you probably want to kick their behinds. now again i’m not condoning all i’m saying is that it’s easy to judge someone elses actions.

Anybody can make a claim and write a book, it does’nt make it true or false. I think Dr. Dre should write a book and say that Suge Knight took some pills and got drunk and told him that he had 2Pac killed LOL!!

its so sad that our young black men are continuously the targets of this country’s judicial system. Racial profiling and and blatant racism will always be a problem..those rates are not new, no matter how hard we try, we were dealt this hand a long time ago..a lot needs to be done, but we have to help ourselves evoke change, no one is gonna do it for us.

suge is so irrelevant.

as is this oj debate. WE ALL KNOW HE KILLED HER, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, ITS THE COURTS FAULT WHY HE GOT OFF, AND ALSO THEIR FAULT WHY THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT BLACK MEN GO TO JAIL AND THE PEOPLE COMMITTING THE CRIMES ARE WALKING AROUND FREELY. Only a fool would aquit OJ, damn well knowing he did it. But whatever, whats done is done, he cant be charged for it again, so stop wishing justice will be done for this, because it wont.

I must say though, that that Cochrane line is and will forever be infamous in getting a guilty man acquitted for a crime we all know he committed!

“IF THE GLOVE DOESNT FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT!!!!”
lmao @ the theatrics behind your judicial system.

here’s a novel idea…if you want the police to not arrest you, don’t commit any crimes. It works for me!

BAN GUNS IN AMERICA!!!!!! How can we fix the problem with the police. Police need to be feared, less they are viewed as jokes. How r they to turn their aggression off when thugs r challenging them? Its a loose loose affair. Unless we BAN GUNS. TAKE OFF THE STREETS. Drug use should not be punishable by long prison terms.

@ Janell, what country do you live in??? What crime did Sean Bell commit???

MOded = The Whole OJ situatIon

POLICE OUT THEYYYYYYY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally a Chief that Agrees that the situation was at Fault with those officers solely!!

about TIME—dont defend the assholes.

shout out to the dude that knocked suge out

Well I think the reason we as black get arrested more then whites is because of the way the police department are set up. It is not a race thing it is a class thing. They view us a low class in the ghetto’s across this land. When our white peers do the same thing it is done in the Middle class area and police are not used to seeing such things go on. I work in law enforment but not as a cop so I see how they think and are trained to think. Now some may call this racist but I feel if you put yourself in an area where the police is looking for crime and you continue to do this you will go to jail. It’s funny the Latin jail % was not given…..I wonder why. Take care and I’m gone.

@Ms. Mac

Sis one thing that you have to realize, and many sisters don’t grasp this, is that it’s nothing personal. It’s all business.

1)When you look at what you quoted from me, you’ll see I said “many sisters”, not you, not all, so I don’t understand what counterpoint you’re trying to make about retaining what one reads unless you actually are one of those sisters I was referencing. The statements that I make are usually aimed towards our people, not an individual. The only black men that should be doing any mentoring are the one’s that can address the spiritual issues that our people have. This is why the children are jaded now. They tired of hearing the same idealistic bullsh*t from people that don’t really know what they’re talking about and can’t answer “why”. They’re left to fend for themselves and each other and develop their own life codes which metastasizes into gang culture.

2)It’s not that I don’t address the issues of black men. It’s that it’s not addressed to your liking or satisfaction which is irrelevant to me. This was my point about the salvation of our people having nothing to do with the plans of man or woman. When you see my original comment in post 61, you’ll see that in my last paragraph that I addressed what the black man has to do, the few that have their sanity. The Lord will not save all our people. Our salvation will not come how man or woman wants it. It will come how the Lord has stipulated it. This is why whenever a question is posed like the one that J.Dakar posed, everybody has some idealistic response that will NEVER come to fruition. No disrespect to you, but the reason why many sisters are detached from the black man spiritually is because a certain portion of this society has been allotted to cater to them. The sisters are still suffering, but not to the degree of the black man mentally and spiritually. These black men are literally out of their minds due to the constant affliction (Deut 28:28-34). The Lord’s indignation with the black man is being played out right now in this society believe it or not. It’s obvious that the black man must work to support his family and raise his kids and all the other banal things that others claim the black man doesn’t do and must do. The fact of the matter is that even the brothers that are upright are treated like feces and receive no respect so spare me (Ezek 5:14).

3)Sis, I’m not dictating a damn thing to you lol. I could care less how the sisters choose to conduct themselves because everyone will do what they want regardless. Many sisters are so paranoid that they will have to listen to a black male, which reveals their love of this society, that they concoct hurdles that the black man must attain to deserve the right to be listened to. Like I’ve already said, the majority of black men are not in their right minds, but honestly speaking, those are the men that many sisters gravitate to because spiritual and mental standards won’t be set. The sisters can be “free and liberated”.

4)Lol, that sounds like the white man when he says, “You people sold each other into slavery….don’t blame me.”. Once again sis, this is why the few sane black males must be taught the scriptures properly, like I alluded to in comment 61 so that he can combat ridiculous assertions like that. Once that happens they will have to teach the sisters and the children. Adam listening to Eve was necessary because through that, death was brought forth to mankind which necessitated the death and resurrection of Christ (I Cor 15:23-26, I Tim 2:12-15, Heb2:14). This was the point of showing Satan attempting to tempt Christ and Christ rejecting the temptation (Matt 4:1-11). He redeemed Adam’s weakness (Rom 5:14, I Cor 15:45). No disrespect to you, but the fact that you read the story of Adam and Eve and all you gleaned from that was to glorify Eve in consort with Satan and their ability to trick Adam, it says something about you sis. Never have I said that nothing is the black man’s fault, which seems to be a sticking point with you, and the story of Genesis illustrates that also. Note that even though Eve listened to Satan and seduced Adam, the Lord rebuked Adam (Gen 3:9-12,17).

Lastly sis, let’s establish that these thoughts are not mine, they’re the Lord’s (Jer 1:7-10, Ezek 3:8-11,27). It has nothing to do with you being a “devilish female”, lol (well maybe a little….). In all seriousness sis, most people that think that they have a problem with me and what I say actually have a problem with the Word of the Lord (Prov 13:13, I Thes 4:8, etc.).

@117

That’s right. They don’t mention the hispanics because they want the hispanics to believe that they are above blacks.
