Well lets see Jilluser, 80% of people in prison are black, that may be. But what in the world does that have to do with the big man who died while being apehended by the police? That nurse went on about an incident involving her husband and a black man, has he not had any problems with white inmates. I think you should try to be more attentive to what people are actually saying, instead of jumping to your own conclussions. Do you know that nurse personally? I thought not, you formed your opinion about her from her comments, just as I did. At what point did I say "it was good thing her husband was attacked"? I did not say that at all. She made her statement, I replied. I am sorry if my opinion is not up to par with yours.
As for being racist I am black, my husband is white, so dont you try and tell me anything about discrimination, I get it from all fronts. You dont know me. I am intitled to my opinion, and if that nurse can say 80% of inmates are black and that explains the cries of police brutality, I have a right to answere back to that. As I said, I do not think that crime is the way to reach your goals, (did you not read my statement?) but the poor who see no other way out for them selves see it that way, and that is sad. Black people only comprise less than 16% of the population, so I have to say, no not many blacks can be lobbiest or Corporation heads, when 80% of prison inmates are black. I think we need more programs to get people back to work, (all people of any color) especially minorities. Also we need to help build their sense of self worth through education and work programs, more earned incomes, and less handouts are needed to accomplish this. I also think we need less judgemental people, you and that nurse included hummmmmmm. I will continue to read your comments, they are insightful, but you are wrong sometimes, and this is one of those intances.
