Do you think a young black male dressed in a suit is viewed the same way as a young black male in baggy pants and tattoos? I don’t think so...this is coming from someone who use to look, dress and act like a thug. But people grow up.

It’s up to you to not be prejudiced you have chosen to be

Some of these ****ing cops have made it a point to show that they won’t be made to relax their mother****ing way of being dicks.

America: Protesting police brutality will get you some police brutality.

Finally hit the ignore button on some posters and it feels good

I suppose the cops should do nothing and just let the people loot

My point was that it's not just more than "many". That it has more than the one definition.

But check out today’s headlines for that interview:

Real Clear Politics: “Cornel West: America Is A Failed Social Experiment, Neoliberal Wing Of Democratic Party Must Be Fought”

FOX News: “Cornel West traces US unrest to Obama failures: 'Black faces in high places' couldn't deliver“

This is part of the problem though. Why is it on Obama to prove that an entire race of people are capable? Even if you're of the mind he did an awful job, that shouldn't be an indictment of the capabilities of every other black person. There's no pressure on German, Italian, British, etc. people to have their actions be considered representative of millions of people.

All cops are pigs tho

I was born and raised in a very rural area just off a reservation. I literally have no memory of even seeing a black person, other than on TV, until well into my teens...strange but true. But I saw native Americans on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the ones I went to school with mostly struggled with school, wore raggier clothes, and had poor hygiene. At the same time, the only adults I saw were either going into a bar, passed out behind it, or we'd have other reasons to either have poor perceptions of them or fear them. I was a kid, it's what I knew, what could I think natives were like?

I've learned and times have changed, but there's still far too high a percentage of them that continue to live out the stereotype I learned growing up. it never completely goes away.

people say 'I don't see color', and I call bull ****....we all grew up with our own set of circumstances and at least subconsciously that continues to play a role.

That was not West’s point (though based on their skewed headline, maybe that what FOX News wants you to think it was). He was saying that as bad as the Republicans are and have been, the Democrats have not delivered either, even when Obama was President and Holder was AG — which is one of the factors in why things are boiling over now (there were others West mentioned).
