Oh really? You're labeling all black communities for the crimes of a few? That's literally bigotry, you know. And flat out racism.
Also, if there's a community or culture that isn't "civil", that would be all of American culture. Our country was founded on slavery, genocide, and mass land theft. Our government has been in a state of nearly perpetual war since it's creation. We have by far the largest incarcerated population in the world, and our police kill more Americans on American soil than terrorists do. And our political parties are always calling for wars and new attacks on any country or foreign leader we disagree with. Yet you have the audacity to call out the black communities as being uncivilized?
Do you have any idea how many civilians the US killed in the Iraq War? There were at least 150,000 murdered in the first 4 years. And that's before the US stopped officially keeping track. How many of those deaths were caused by the black community? And at least 80,000 Afghan civilians were murdered in that war, even though the Afghan people had nothing to do with 9/11. Is that civilized to you? And let's not get on the millions of civilians we killed in Vietnam & Cambodia. Or are you going to blame the African American community for that too?
I suppose that outburst was predictable, given wantsome's remarks.
However, I am not sure how laundry-listing things that are not the responsibility of the "black community" somehow negates the argument/statement that "civility isn't one of the back communities strong points" - whether or not you agree with the premise.
Nice rant though...

Dude, check out the video. He is wearing a ski mask, and I don't see any mountains.
She was right to open up the can on him. Good job

I have this feeling that the mask was not so much a fashion statement as it was a means of concealing his identity.

Well, it didn't save him from the "mom missile" that homed in on his sorry saggy panted ass, did it.
He should take it back for a refund.

A lot of people do that on protests.
I did it twice last year.
Seen the million man march as well...
Thousands of "thugs" all hiding their faces.
Come on now I don't know a single "thug" who gets slapped about by their mother.
She'd get a rock bottom on the concrete for destroying his street credibility.

I know he didn't need the mask for warmth on a cool Spring evening as they started several cozy fires to keep them warm during their "protest" .
I am waiting for the " Spanking is not the answer" crowd to show up and state she should have been arrested for child abuse .

Until the pepper spray starts flying everywhere then you'll be glad to block the airways...
Or maybe you'll be recognised and fired for acting on the 1st Amendment.
People don't just hide their faces for one reason...
Mine was precautionary due to the first one.
Maybe he was a wannabe thug...
Too bad none of us can actually claim we saw him "acting like one".
