Should we blame the parents, for unwanted pregnancies, and their lack of drive out of despair, their lack of educational opportunities and role models, their broken homes, their poverty??? We could. But would it be entirely fair.
Folks are so willing to say, they don't like to work...or they steal...or they cheat...we could say the same about the Michael Millikens of the world...or the Dick Cheneys..but then we'd be labelled "racists"....oh, but not you! It's because you can't see your own racism...because when you've been wet for so long, it's hard to remember what its' like to be dry. Pinochet! Freeman! Rugonnacry!
Just remember when you point fingers, a big ol' thumb points back at you!
I'm kinda glad I'm over sports....oh I like gymnastics, tennis, ice skating, the olympics....but football and baseball are probably the gayest sports around...think about it. Oops, that's gonna bunch some underwear.
Yep....the writer of this article, is obviously an "oreo", white a.. kisser....I can't think of anything lower than castigating the victim. He's dead, for godssake. And he was in his home...not out in the streets, slinging drugs, balling, or pimpin'.....what if it happened to you? Would you want somebody to say..."he should have left those "whores" alone.....or he should have known better than to get his coke from some unsavory types", about "you"????? And all of y'all ain't angels. So, somebody cast the first stone....oh, I just did.
I thought your response was very interesting, right up to the point where you managed to find a way to blame "white America" for this crime. As if the White Guy from "Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood" came along during the burglary, popped Taylor, and crossed him off his list as he tossed the weapon to the innocent black youth.
You know, if you constantly blamed eskimos for bootlegging Al Capone would have never been caught. In that same way you will never find a solution for black on black crime by blaming white people. In your mind there exists a paradox wherein whites care nothing for blacks and yet take time out of there busy schedule oppressing the world just long enough to convince black youths that solving social problems with firearms is a good idea.
It couldn't be "gangsta rap" could it? I can spin my FM dial and within 30 seconds find a black man rapping about the glory of violence, drugs, and degrading women. Black youth's are emulating them; Sean Taylor wasn't killed by a Black guy wearing hunter's Orange and firing a shotgun ala Dick Chaney. He was killed by a young man wearing clothes you can find on Snoop Dogg, carrying a handgun you can hear 50 rapping about, while committing a "Jack Move" you can hear Dr Dre rapping about.
