>>Maybe old-timers like you and Alex are in fact enablers.

old-timer? what does that mean or even have to do with the conversation?

you just posted you went to school in the same generation as Jerry Jones, so evidently you are old enough to be my grandmother... hello??

>>The Michael Brown funeral was so discouraging to me----a parade of "enablers" who managed to turn a young thug into a cultural hero.

A culture hero??... who the F said that? you are making up your own talking points

I didn't tune in to the funeral broadcast... I don't watch any daytime TV... but what's amazing is how some people just constantly label this guy a "thug" and that is seemingly supposed to excuse the fact the he was unarmed and shot 6-11 times and his body left to bake in the sun for 4-5 hours and no real official police report has yet been given

>>The White House even sent 3 representatives. To do what? "Honor" someone who could never be called a role model?

the White House sent 3 representatives because there is clear reasons to think the police officer and his backers are hiding what really happened and maybe there was a greater crime committed other than a shoplifting and pushing a store clerk around... and because it became a national flashpoint... If the WH ignored it they'd get blamed for that also... obviously this is a stupid right wing talking point promoted by the race baiters on Fox News,etc... "Obama didn't send anyone to Margaret Thatchers funeral, but he sends people to Ferguson MO!!!"... Outrage alert!... was Margaret Thatcher gunned down in the street??... jeeze, what a stupid comparison by Fox News, but that's their bread and butter, anything to rile up their base of stupid white racist dumbfucks

As for your statement about young black mothers being total assholes to their kids in public, this I can totally agree with you on... I've seen it so many times... It's sad to see a parent mentally abuse a child who is too young to really know what's going on, it has to leave scars... but to not address why this cycle of dysfunction exists and to simply state all black kids should be removed from single mothers is a bit bizarre and not in the realm of rationality... should we start a national program to round up all young black females who become pregnant and ship them off to "training camps"?... might it be more smart to give them free birth control and educate them so they don't become pregnant?... the idiotic hypocrisy of the religious right who want all people to have as many babies as they can yet they throw them in the garbage can once they are born if they are not "of their kind"
