Man, those neighborhoods were fukked up BEFORE the damn "riot". Whether I agree with their actions or not, this shyt needed to happen. This woke up OUR people. The same motherfukkers out there helping with clean-up was throwing their damn mcdonald's trash and beer bottles out on the street yesterday. They love to sit and talk about how these areas were still recovering since the riots from the 60's, but tell me why it took fifty fukking plus years to do so when you've built a casino and other shopping and residential areas in less than half that time?

So what? If my house is fukked up should I destroy it some more because I'm mad at my neighbor? I live there. I need to go fukk up my neighbor.

The media always looks for any angle to say we're savages but hide their bloody hands, and a good percentage of brehs subject to the same prejudice eat up the storyline the white american media feeds them.

Maybe I'm just reaching here and trying to put 2 and 2 together, but follow the money the next couple of years and see who really benefited from this fukkery

They do the "deconcentrating poverty." thing all the time. I think some of the ways the counties block it is by allowing only so many rentals per neighborhood. A lot of places won't take section 8 vouchers either and I'm assuming if they are in a higher rent area they would need some sort of supplement? I don't know but i know it happens.

None of these movements; radical, political, or prayer, are working together effectively nor willing to step out of their comfort zones. It needs to be a coordinated push from all sides. I'll expand when I get to work.

Don't understand simple analogies breh.

It is always the youth who buck the system and spearhead change. Just like the youth of the 60s in Chi, LA, and NJ that prompted the govt to create the Kerner Commission. 30+ folk probably praying to Jesus/Allah that the Whites on their "good jobs" wont judge them for this. Salute to my young homies. Putting in blood and tears to fight this wicked regime.

Ima have to educate myself on this "kerner commission"

The analogy was a shyt analogy. What are they burning down 'their' CVS? Burning 'their' police cars?

My point was that why did it take a riot for people to notice that the neighborhood was fukked up? Why did it take the death of ANOTHER black man before people noticed? If you let a pot boil over you can't be concerned where it splatters.

The same CVS that wouldn't employ them.

Yeah different history. Maybe in the Caribbean but they weren't enslaved. They were exploited laborers.

there was slavery in the caribbean (some of the most vicious kind too, the story about the master hanging a pregnant slave from a tree and cutting her open for all to see as a message to the rest didn't happen in america). and brazil.

black america doesn't have exclusive ownership of slavery.

Woke our people up how? What do you expect change going forward? What change did the youth that did this bring?


Towson is right up the street, they could of at least taken it there. Mondawmin mall is a 99% black mall, so who is hurting here?

I was referring to coolies (Indians and Asians) who migrated there.
