not exactly judged by their clothes. but the way you dress, is a consequence of the way you behave!

and yes judging people by there behaviour is normal and relevant

Ok, right now I'm in my office working in short cargo pants and a T-shirt.

So, please tell me how I ought to be behaving.
 
So I havent read thru this whole thing, so I'm not sure how it ended up going from race to dress...but IMO this is really sad. I get that a lot of these people in Baltimore and other very poor areas don't have the best chances of good education and family ect. I spent a lot of time in Mobile Alabama and that is a ghetto place, and I alwasy felt bad for the kids that had poor odds of getting a great education and having a stable home environment. With that being said, to me it's sad that this is how the people of baltimore react. They claim the police are racist and target african americans and kill them...so to make a point they riot the city into a state of emergency, instead of peaceful riots.

I get that not all of the protesters are violent, just saying its sad that in 2015 this is going on
 
it is about wanting change, whats the best way these protestors can get that change?

seriously they want change i get that.
but how do they plan to accomplish it.

how are they taken seriously when part of protestors riot and burn **** down?
distance yourself from that group. how do you do it. it could start with a wardrobe change.

i just dont get the feeling that they are willing to work for change and a better live.
but they want handouts from obama. obamacare, "free" education, this isnt the american dream

You've missed the point of every post I've made in this thread. No one planned these riots. This is not a broad strategy amongst black leaders to riot every time something happens that they don't like.

This was an organic emotional reaction by people who put up with police abuse on a daily basis. It wasn't a good idea. It isn't going to benefit them in the short term, it's going to harm them.

But hey, let's sit on out high horses and turn up our noses so that they know we don't approve. Sounds like fun.

well then u misunderstand me.i am just saying whats the point of these protest/riots. and why are they rioting/protesting? they want change?
why should i or the world sympathize with them?

i am just suggesting they should better themselves, if the system is holding them down, protest in a serious construct-full way.
If they wanna reach accomplish something. if not by all means loot riot and burn. wait for the obama handouts
this is just ludicrous

Okay so we're not having the same conversation. Lesson learned.

I'll try to avoid such interactions with you in the future.

More demagoguery from the 2nd best Jazzfanz troll in GD. This post is such a sad response to the reality of this situation, that it honestly doesn't merit a response. Not sure why I'm bothering to bite.


Ah man, This reminds me of the economy discussion we were having in the other thread. Was busy with finals, I should see what your last response was.

I think in order to comment further people need to actually do 5 mins of research about Baltimore. Wikipedia will Suffice.

The town has been through hell economically. One of the largest employers, Bethlehem Steel, went out of business. What took its place? Prostitution and drugs. The town, like Detroit, has seen entire neighborhoods sold for pennies and abandoned. Many neighborhoods lack even basic water and electricity.

This honestly isn't about the young man killed. It's about the 21st century America. The growing divide between the rich and everyone else. And the economic devastation of a country adapting to 21st century economics. Our manufacturing base has been gutted, leaving behind places like Baltimore, Cleveland, and Detroit in the wake.
