Who in the hell are these "black leaders" that you speak of???
Do you think that I, or any of my friends of color sit around and wait for some "black leader" to tell us when to eat, shit and sleep? Do you think that black people in America today are "led" by some folks you see on TV who the NEWS outlets freely give out the title of "black leaders"? Who in the world elected these individuals as "the leader of the black people?" When was the election held because in MY WORLD, I am the leader of my own black ass. No one in a 3-piece suit who steps in front of a CNN or FOX news crew determines what and when I am going to do anything. If that is your reality, then you are grossly misinformed.

This ain't the 1950's or 60's. There's a black president in the White House. There are crooked individuals roaming all throughout every segment of every race out there. Should I assume that the only reason white Catholic men become priest is so that they can have sexual liaisons with little boys? I mean other than the Pope, those are the only Catholic priest I ever hear about so that must be the case, correct? This is the logic that you subscribe to right? I've seen my fair share of Catholic churches and not one of them looked anything short of the Taj Mahal so money MUST be prevalent among Catholics, correct? Definitely middle class and higher among its members so that would be a SAFE church to attend, right? Tell me this, why don't the "white leaders" plaster themselves across the airwaves and denounce all these Catholic pedophiles???

So you have went out and interviewed THE MAJORITY of black people? When and how did you do this? Where is your data from speaking with this majority? Seriously? Do you even live around enough black people to get a slice of how most black people feel about the supposed "black leaders?" Do you see how silly you are sounding here?
I associate with enough black people, from customers to my friends to know how we as educated blacks feel. I would THINK that I have a MUCH BETTER sense of what the majority thinks. Until YOU spend enough time in my shoes, you shouldn't speak of that which you do not know or can not prove when it comes to black people.

So you can force feed education now, correct? You can lead a horse to water but it is up to the horse as to whether or not it will drink. However, if you have a way of making some of these idiots WANT to learn how to act, enlighten me. I will pass it on to the "black leaders".

And to that I will simply say that there are not nearly enough black people in your small circle of black people. Let's see you take a tour of those three black universities that I mentioned. Let me see THEN how you feel about your small circle of "black friends".

So what you see on TV is an ACCURATE depiction of the majority of black people, right? Okay, had I known that, I would have never became a cop because all they want to do is kill black people. Yea, the ignorance is seeping out this thread like gangbusters today.

When we discussed this very subject about 6 months ago, (before Ferguson), they both said..."sadly, instead of educating those people, we tend to separate ourselves from that kind of rabble, so we are also partially to blame."

If that's the way they feel, more power to them. I can only speak for myself and I KNOW that I do my share to educate kids on walking the straight and narrow. I can only control what I do and cannot speak for anyone else.
But since you don't see this on TV, you would never know that this is what some of us educated blacks do.

You know, sometimes, I think that I should put your posting ability into moderation so that I can control your idiot ass from looking so stupid. Is THAT what you took from my post? I was blaming the media for your asinine opinion of black people, being you get it from TV. But reading comprehension obviously isn't your strong suit. Because of that, I always keep your poster at the ready.

You know Junk, a few have mounted a running SBC OR BBC IN the Bed of an El Camino.
Front engine & Rear engine coupled together.
Mickey Thompson did it all the time.
500 + 500 = 1000.
500 + 2000 = 2500 HP.
