***Weekly Internet Foolishness Awards Runner-up***
Deep sigh....it really irks me when ignorant people try to judge an ENTIRE RACE of people based on the actions of a few. The guy who posted this is as ignorant as he is racist. Then he has the nerve to ask, is he racist? His ass already knows he is or there would have been no reason for him to post this in the first place.
Over the last several years, my people have been told and made to feel as if our lives mean absolutely nothing. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and now Mike Brown have me fearing for my teenage son's life. Obviously, because these boys didn't live picture perfect lives, they didn't deserve to live. But what gets me is the internet thugs/racists use these young men as a means to judge the ENTIRE Black race. Not only is this truly horrifying, but Black people AS A WHOLE have had to endure hateful, racist comments on almost every social media outlet...being treated unfairly because of the color of our skin. I've lost count of how many times I read comments like, "Those n***ers deserved to die...," "Black people only survive off welfare anyway...my tax dollars pay for THEM to have nice cars/phone/clothes...," and the one that really get's me is, "YOU PEOPLE are always blaming upstanding white people for your misfortune..."
I could go on and on, but I don't have that kind of time. The point is, not ALL Black people are on welfare, don't work, are deadbeat parents, are uneducated just like not ALL white people are racist or serial killers...it is unfair and ignorant to assume everyone is the same because they share the same skin tone. I won't even get started on the war on Black boys because I get pissed off every time I think about it. I don't give a damn what the young men aforementioned did wrong in their lives, at the time of their deaths, they were ALL innocent, UNARMED, teenagers, acting as teenagers of ALL races act. None of them were a threat to their murderers, yet all three have been labeled as thugs and animals who deserved to die because someone else was offended by them or their behavior. And even with this, I still don't hate or judge ALL white people...I don't think ALL white people hate me because I'm Black. I am so glad the person in the post responded in the manner he did because it should teach people like Ryan Carr a lesson....nobody is perfect. Only God can judge ANYBODY!
Ryan Carr earned the Runner-up spot in this weeks Internet Foolishness Awards for Dumbest Tweet/Facebook post.
