Being an American, that is mixed (Black and white) I couldn't agree with you more. Instead of protesting try keeping your children out of the streets be a great example for your kids. Stop showing them the only way to make money is to "hustle" and sell drugs. Teach them proper English and how to be presentable. Teach your son to wear a tie and your daughters to not degrade themselves. All I see from minorities are the same thing you see in rap videos. Glorifying of murder, drugs, and degrading the very women they will eventually marry. That is no way to raise a family or live life.AJSully421 wrote:If protesting anything made a difference, then they would outlaw it...
I guess that they feel like the "have to do something".
If I were black, I'd think that my time would be better spent teaching youth classes at the local YMCA about getting your hands up and obeying police commands and not reaching for your waistband. Other topics might include "obey the law" and "pull your pants up".
I carry a gun daily and I have zero apprehension about any police contact while carrying. Know why? No, not because I'm white, but because I don't look like a trouble maker, I don't act like a trouble maker, and I speak to the police with respect... and the strangest thing happens... they treat me with respect right back.
You want to dress like a thug, act like a thug, and show the cops how tough you are by talking like a thug and disobeying the law and law enforcement... then you reap what you sow.
It really is that simple.
I have never experienced prejudice from any officer because I am respectful. While I do agree people are allowed to express themselves in a way they see fit, if you dress like a thug you will be treated as such. Rant over..
