@12thmanfan27 If you spend much time on YouTube, you'll see it's still very much alive today.

@DeviousBetrayer LOL, you are a typically ignorant and shallow moron with no grasp of dignity or morality. I am going to assume, due to your obvious stupidity on this subject, that you are a white guy XD

@Delani12 White supremacy is an evil thing...

What was done was horrific. Those guilty of senseless hate crimes born of baseless fear and stupidity should pay through all eternity. That being said, we as blacks need to look at what we're doing to ourselves. From today's rap to the churches. Listen to the self hate and back stabbing directed at each other or those who look like us but believe or simply dress differently. Fake hair, fake friends, spinnin rims all to pretend to be something we're not. To me, thats just as bad and twice as sad.

@dalewormheart3704 no, many white suspects will die.

There is no need to be hateful towards every white person you see, just because of the wrong and hurtful things a few have done to us. They are not all the same, some of them feel just as strongly about racism and violent cruel acts towards blacks as we do.

it's weird that we are at war with fanaticals who will kill anyone who threatens their way of life.

these fanatics see any change as a threat to their heritage or belief system. but in this country american citizens were killed by racist fanaticals whose way of life was being threatened. emmit till in a small way yet violated the "code" that kept intact their belief system of racial superiority.  if I as a white man gave up my seat in a public bus to a black lady I'd be breaking the code and.
