Since 1976, 15 white men have been executed for killing a black person, but 243 black men have been executed for killig a white person. That should make you think!
even if you are right that this is more so with black people than white people, there is a reason for this. If black people would have gotten equal opportunities as white people, this wouldn't be the case.
Now aside from that. This has absolutely nothing to do with what the man in the video is saying. Black people that have already been convicted for rape are 11 times more likely to get the death penalty. this has nothing to do with whatever critique you can come up with against black people.
maybe you racist people will relize that crime has nothing to do with this video, its the statistic that a black man who rapes a white women rather then a coloured women is 11 times more likely to get executed and a white man who rapes a white women is 20 times less likely to get executed from that we get 30 times if she is coloured. now u racist white men can ignore all of that and say look the niggers hiphop or u can accept ur hypocrasy and injustice.
All I can say is "MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING GHETTO"!!! If those are the only types of Blacks that you associate with, then I guess that would explain your perspective here. Have you been to trailer parks and poor white communities? They are just as screwed up as your community appears to be. No community has the market cornered on good folks or fools. I know good responsible minority folks and dumb shit white folks, and vice versa. I'd suggest you move or at least travel more my friend!
You do have a point. In my community people look at me and giggle or chuckle because I don't dress like how they do( Ghana made slippers, cargo shorts, jeans that fit...). Born and raised Ghanaian and now living in America, I find the "gangster" lifestyle distasteful and horrible. It only lands many youth in trouble. wearing oversized shorts with no belts is not fashion, it's ignorance.
