Here is one story from this week. I wonder if these 3 are obama sons!

March 27 (Reuters) - A third man is facing a murder charge
after the fatal shooting of a student at a Mississippi State
University residence hall, authorities said on Tuesday.

John Sanderson, 21, of Madison, Mississippi, died after
being shot Saturday night in a dorm room on the Mississippi
State campus. It was the first campus shooting in the school’s
history, the university president said.

Trent Deundra Crump, 21, was being held by authorities in
Gainesville, Florida after his arrest on Tuesday on a capital
murder charge, said university spokeswoman Maridith Geuder.

Two other suspects, Duntae Harvey and Mason Perry Jones,
also both 21, were arrested on Monday on the same charge,
officials said.

Shouldn’t it be “representative” of the 8 to 1 ratio?

Obviously, blacks are committing murder at a much higher rate than whites, since the gross numbers are about the same, but blacks are a much smaller segment of the population.

But of murders committed by blacks, 83% of the victims are other blacks, but only 14% are whites.

The inter-racial murders are the ones that wind up on the front page, but both blacks and whites kill each other at a much higher rate.

He was not arrested because the police thought the shooting was in self defense

Actually they thought it was "NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER - UNNECESSARY KILLING TO PREVENT UNLAWFUL ACT"

Actually it is. I used to think that the “n-word” could be used in the generic as a term of endearment, but it is truly unique, because its context is exclusively one of servitude and inferiority.

As such, it reinforces opinions of victimization and incapability among black people, in any context.

This has been recognized in other circumstances as well, such as parents who frequently call their children “stupid”. At a deep, psychological level it hits hard, with children often growing up defining themselves as stupid.

Comparatively, individuals who call each other “A-hole”, may indeed do so in a state of camaraderie, yet even then it is still tinged with passive-aggressiveness.

“Actually it is.”

You have a right to your opinion.

This article generalizes the situation without bothering to examine what really happened: eye witnesses state that it was self-defense on Zimmerman's part.

I was referring to your post about him being fatherless, not the earlier post.

Unfortunately this friendly banter affects the rest of society, at which point it stops being private. And while it is only a small part of the problem, it is part of the problem.

Black Americans have been pushing the rest of society so hard, and for so long, it is becoming intolerable. Eventually something far worse is going to happen unless they get their act together and stop raising hundreds of thousands of criminals.

And whatever this is, it would be a lot harsher than telling them to quit calling each other by the “n-word” and a hundred other such things.

Statistics show that children of single parents are 60% more likely to become social problems. So why don’t black leaders say “no babies unless you are married?” Some, a few, do. But it’s not enough.

Seriously, things are now so bad I would not be surprised to see a law by which all black children would be taken from their parents and raised by the state, unless the parents are married, have good jobs, etc.

“Unfortunately this friendly banter affects the rest of society,”

Especially where there is no sense of humor but whose fault is that? I am not responsible for other people’s lack of a sense of humor.

It wasn't Racial so the entire article is self flagellation.
