Who's fault is it that few blacks visit the National parks?

[Vern Humphrey]

If you are respectable to people and follow the laws, like the majority of most of black, white, or others people do.. you would be treated with respect. When you don't do so, don't blame anyone but yourself.....

I'd like to make another point -- if you TOLERATE illegal, violent and thuggish behavior, you must be prepared to accept the consequences.

The point has been made over and over, that with all the brouhaha over a few incidents involving police, HUNDREDS of Black-on-Black homicides are simply ignored. Where are the demonstrations against Black-on-Black crime? When have the neighbors of the victims marched through the streets telling the gangstas this will no longer be tolerated?

Failure to act to end Black-on-Black violence has resulted in a climate where anyone in certain neighborhoods would feel threatened -- and might be hypersensitive to threats and react accordingly.

Not worried about reporting it, just letting it go what ever they want to change the subject matter to.

You're not just discovering that's the way most internet forums work much of the time? One topic leads to something related, which leads to another one, & so it goes, often ending up far removed from the starting point. However, nobody is forced to follow them, nobody is prevented from initiating their own if the original subject gets lost in the shuffle.

My advice is, if you don't like thread drift, don't send your post. Keep it on your hard drive, and every time you think of a cogent remark on the subject, pull it up and add it. You can even give yourself various names so it looks like you're having a conversation.

But this is fun, I did change the direction of this thread! I will not change my name, I want you know who you are talking to, not a fake person!
