If not then I don't see the big deal here, people can march down the street and yell what ever they want, people can also be racist and express it how ever they want as long as they do it peacefully.

This isn't actually about race though, that's the decoy.
We have to ask ourselves what is the bigger picture here?
What context do political actions like this have historically speaking?
What purpose are actions like this taken for, and who do they ultimately benefit?

Why do people say things like this? It's not true! If your "white friends" did this... Nobody would care.

I used to work in the rent-to-own racket and have a lot of experience in dealing with them.
I have known some older blacks that were scared to death of their own kids, sometimes their very own kids, other times the kids of their own race. I used to talk with them, and they'd tell me things. Their houses look like prisons with all of the security and bars over everything.
If I had to guess at the root problem, then I would probably attribute it to the lack of strong fathers.
Or perhaps it is because they should have picked their own goddamn cotton. I guess that is the ultimate root of the problem.
The problem is, what do you mean by 'strong fathers'? Men who use excessive force and abuse to control children? Or good, morally centered men who use actual good judgment, and real wisdom to guide them?
One major, but unfortunately badly under-reported, series of problems is the severe, non-racism related social problems which do exist in many of the African-American communities in this country, one of which is corporal punishment which seems to be somewhat more prevalent with poor blacks, than poor whites, at least, far as the evidence has shown me.[Before anyone gets all pissy on me, I am NOT referring to spanking; I am solely referring to actual injury inflicted with belts, switches, straps, hickory sticks, etc., usually done with intent to cause harm.]

If you are told enough times all whites are racist then every action you see them do you will look at it from that point of view when in actual fact is it will not be the case most of the time. People are just thick and do stupid things.
The truth is, like it or not we are all racist. It is human nature but we should be at a point of education and understanding to overcome this.
Look around the world. Racism has no colour chart it is just one of many excuses to justify racism.
For those of you talking about the slave trade of years ago, it is alive and well and a worldwide industry run by white, brown, yellow and black alike.
When will we deprive our jailers of this racism key to our cells? By the looks of things not any time soon.
Your base instincts are being fed to maintain separation by hatred and it seems we are not educated or wise enough to refuse to eat all they push into us, we are willing clear the plates no matter what colour the skin.

HUH? whites have always been the most discriminated against race and whites have also been on the brink of extinction just because they are white so many times its pathetic.
You need a history lesson.

First of all, over 60 people marching in a place like Peoria is big news anyway even without the racial angle
But how awful is this
And because it is black racism rather than white racism, the story is not considered big news and will only be picked up in the alternative media. Can you imagine if 60 Ku Klux Klansmen had marched down the street shouting direct threats and chanting about killing blacks? It would be on the front page of every paper in the nation and many around the world.
I'm getting sick of black hate crimes getting the pass while its always the white 's appointed role to smile meekly even in the face of death threats!!!
...Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. Thrush) to the 4 lane main drag (Sheridan). They were yelling threats to white residents.
Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. fights were breaking out among them....

Are you trolling, or do you really believe this tripe?
