*Sigh*...Well, I see the point you're making now, perhaps next time you could clue the rest of us on and try to refrain from generalizing like that? Fair enough?
I wrote another piece in another post I don't feel like looking for, but the fact that black culture won't let us forget they are black is certainly part of the problem. Basically what I wrote is that people don't understand the difference between racism and discrimination. Very few cops are racist, but almost everyone discriminates. Ironically the Sci-Fi channels "Through the Wormhole" offered some evidence to what I wrote a few days later with this show:
Are we all bigots that showed that cultural sterotypes help define our subconscince, and when looking at a black man in a hood holding a cell phone (for example) we are ALL more likely to see a gun, including other black people (this was demonstrated by experiment).
There is work to be done on both sides, cops need to clean themselves up. Ironically popular black culture is simultaneously embracing and exploiting violent culture and, simultaneously falling victim to it.
Does that let cops off the hook? of course not, but it should help people understand behavior motivations for discimination, rather than racial motivations.
