Absolutely agree with everything said by this young man.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion of the readers and contributors on this site, this how MOST black people think and act.
So stop generalizing when you comment about the current and on going issues in our country, yes yours and mine.
Have a conversation with a black person, you'll find out like we're just like anybody else.
Oh, by the way,my name is Milton Maull, not Anonymous, like so many of you
Mr Maull, I tend to agree with you but the problem I have and maybe others do is that, why don't the black people who are responsible speak out more?
Why don't they organize rallies in support of the police?
Also, Mr. Maull, why is nothing said by "Yo People" when black on black murder and other crime is perpetrated? Why does your population not only allow, but promote criminal activity? Lies, theft, drug sales?
I hope you are talking to Yo people, not mine.
Hello Mr. Maull,
I'm glad to know that MOST black people think and act in this manner. I think the problem lies in the media and the images that are portrayed. I am white and live in a predominately white neighborhood. I truly do not come in contact with many blacks in my neighborhood. I work with several blacks and I have noticed that they feel the same way as both of you gentlemen.
I believe part of the problem is that I don't know how you feel. I know how the thugs hanging on the corner portray themselves. I know what they say in their rap videos. I've seen several that have been made around here. One in Salisbury and a couple that were made in Cambridge. I know that stuff is scary. I know how the looters and robbers portrayed on the television feel. They are pretty vocal that they feel they are justified. I know how Michael Brown's parents feel; they were pretty vocal about their feelings.
But I don't know, and wouldn't without some kind of discourse between us, how the REST of you feel. I don't see many blacks in the media who speak up like Mr. Wilson did or as you did here. I guess in the silence I assumed (and yes, my mother taught me what ass-u-me means, but I am guilty of it) that most blacks were behind the Michael Brown side. Much as most whites were on the Darren Wilson side. But I agree with you, we need to have conversations with each other to bring about change in the on going issues in our country.
I believe we need to discuss God and families and education and safe neighborhoods for all people. I don't know what happened in Ferguson, I wasn't there, but I know we don't need additional things driving wedges between our races. That just divides this once great nation. We could be great again but it will require some work.
The biggest problem with this video is that most blacks won't listen to it. They would rather believe that this young man sold out to whites.
