wow, i just saw the video of Alton because of your post. thankfully, they have the tape to prove it. the cop purposely shot him "execution style." all i can say is, those cameras mean everything these days. i think it is no accident that they exist everywhere now.

i had heard about freddie grey last summer or spring. you mentioned Baltimore several months back, and i had told you i didn't know about it but that's because i didn't know Baltimore was the city his death took place in, i was only familiar with him/his name and was sort of aware that it was near the New York area. (i don't pay attention to certain details sometimes, just general info.)

i didn't know you noticed these things about the black community over here. (we're good people. we're more kind and fun than lots of people will ever know. very sad, that video.)

Thank You, you get it i wish i could hug you the news is so depressing today i almost cried. Thank You for your understanding.

Am I the only person who isn't a really big fan of dogs or people with dogs? Every person I talk to who has dogs has some major issues with commitment (either they cling or they're really distant) or just end up being rather sensitive if you say something about the dog or that you're not too crazy about them.

It's not that I hate them, I just don't really like anything about them and I'm really allergic.

Every owner I run into have to constantly apologize about their dog all up in my business. I don't mind it, but they always look so embarrassed by it. The only dog I'd consider getting would be Husky, if I lived in a cold area.

Man you're lucky then, because the people I've been around expect me to let their dogs tackle me and such. I don't get angry or anything because thats what dogs do but the owners should be more responsible. Also, Huskies are pretty cool I'd get one if their hair wasn't like poison haha.

i wanna tell you something, professor. at the elementary school i went to growing up, almost all of my teachers (and the principal) were black and they were kind and respectful and they showed how much they cared about us by being protective. it was a very calm and peaceful environment. no one would have ever thought in a million years that they came from a generation that grew up in the '60s will all of the violence against blacks. i look back on them and realize how strong and kind they were to bring that kind of peace to us, and we weren't even their own kids. i'm just amazed at how strong they were to not let the past get to any of us or decide how their lives were going to be.

and now, the civil rights marchers who were protesting in the '60s (people like John Lewis) are leading us again with those sit-downs in washington over the guns. that generation is stronger than us and teaching us how we're supposed to do things, i feel. i'm just amazed by it and trying to learn more from them.

And the shocking realization is that this isn't something new. It's been happening all along and it's only thanks to widespread smartphones that victims now have proof, and these stories finally have gained attention in the past few years. Before that it was just the words of the officer... vs a dead victim.

The guys that complain on here about how tough it is to be Asian because dating is harder... they don't know the struggles other minorities have to face.
