While i don't agree with Sharpton, a lot of my fellow Vets have died for his right to say it! Im not a Democrat nor a republican i take offense to anyone that think because i am a Afro American i can't think for myself and that every time a black child is k**led by a white male im automatically going to r**t and destroy my community!I was in the US ARMY for 13years and was very good at what I did i was a E7 Sfc (Sergeant first class) I left the military and became a paid coach for the county for the next 20 years coaching kids in the intercity ages 6-14, coaching basketball, football, track & field, took kids overnight camping, field trips and helped them with homework and during the summer i spent every weekday with them from 9am to 5pm! To make it short it would seem the only thing you really know about black people is what you see on tv!Actually as long as people like you keep complaining about something that maybe or maybe not racially motivated, people that make blanket assumptions like Sharpton remains relevant! Sorry you will never see stories about people like me in the news weather it's fox news or nbc news!
The only thing worst then a i***t,is a bigoted i***t! SFC Keith Howell (13 yrs US Army)Coach Keith (Economically disadvantaged youth coach (retired 20 years)
First off i watched all the news it even fox! For some reason people blame an entire race or political background i said the guy was a thug!Believe me i know thugs because i worked in the intercity with economically disadvantaged youth for 20 years (notice i didn't say black) my problem is the way the media throws the word black around! Were rich,poor,thugs educators,Doctors yes even good guys,they put the word out to the world we are nothing more than lower class welfare receiving thugs and we are not! When Fox news or CNN or any news organization spends as much time talking about the hard working law abiding black men and women maybe they're wouldn't be so much drama between race's!Im am not angry at anyone about s***ery or even about prejudices that are here today(it's hidden,but still there) What does piss me off is anybody passing judgement or making blanket statements about me because of my race,how would you feel if the tables were turned and people defined you simply because your white and all the media ever says is your violent,and a dope smoking thug! Even better how would your children feel?Bitter a little bit huh?
Hey middle class white guy, I think you watch Fox news to much! As a poor disabled black Vet(neither conservative or liberal) I want to personally thank you for blaming and entire race for the actions of the few!Personally i thought the guy was a thug as well,but i didn't watch any of the trail coverage or l**ting coverage as well! But their needed to be a trial! Personally the r**ting which i don't agree with either is know different than the r**ting you see in some cities after a sports team wins a championship!I also believe any news organization that provide news 24/7 cant afford to not keep stirring the pot! I believe in the legal system and totally satisfied with its decision,but there's no fox news coverage of that is there? (No money in that)The only thing I don't understand is why was there footage of the kid (thug)robbing the convenient store? I have never seen law enforcement do that to any other shooting victims and what the fuck does that have to do with the police shooting him later? That is the kind of thing that angered a lot of people not just black people!So before you start criticizing and entire race because of a few thugs please word your statements accordingly, Thank you!
O you have forgot about the white kid that shot all those innocent children at school? That is the point! But nobody blames an entire race for something but you!(what was it called Sandy Hook?)
Im glad your not black too! Blaming a entire race for the actions of a few is a stereotype bigoted reaction! And if it were tru you could blame the entire white race for going to a Elementary school and shoot and k**l a bunch of 6 and 7 year old kids, real tuff guy huh? Do you get my point?
Im sorry but saying b****s that v**e with GOP are some how smarter then black that are liberals is in it self the most r****t statement ive every heard other than being called a n***a! Im sorry politics does not make you any smarter than you are! Your comparing b****s like trained animal not as a human! I haven't heard comparing GOP w****s or asian or Latinos being talked about the same way! Remember of all the races were the only ones forced to come to this Country! Just get over it!
Its called freedom of speech!While im in the middle about politics, just a question why is the right so head strong on constitutional issues that they feel strongly about but don't support constitutional rights of non gop?
That's your problem im neither Dem or Rep i takes some ideology from both parties to make a great America it just so happens sadly we don't have a candidate that fits that category!
Sorry answered wrong post! But why bring up his heritage important?
Well old sarge your saying he's not considered black well i disagree and scrutinized because of it, for some reason people like you and your beliefs which have a right too under the Constitution have never been judged simply because of your skin color! Obama has gone through more scrutiny than any President before him ( i wonder why)
What? That Republicans can't live with the fact there is no way in hell a American black male should have beaten us so badly in a general e******n not once but twice?
Tell that to the 1950s and 60s that had signs saying white only bathrooms. Im a veteran as well and cannot find any make since and fair legislation v**ed on!
