This could be true, but that is the story of the people who called the police in the first place and the police themselves. Unfortunately, the days of blindly believing the person who did the shooting are gone. I hope they release the video, since this guy was on the phone the entire time, I would love to see just how…

This. If he was a cop, I suspect that outcome would have been very different.

He did stop. That is how he got shot the third time. I honestly wish he'd never stopped running, he may still be alive. I agree with you, if the police tell you to do something, you should do it...but the punishment should not be death if you don't. There are so many steps before death that could have been taken. This…

No way it would have been the same. A man was just shot and killed in a Wal-mart because he was holding an air rifle...that they sell.

Me too! I love them!

Agreed. I have a cousin who was a pincher when she was little. She would do it to everyone, it was agony. She would pinch and twist and her parents thought she was just too cute to scold or spank. One day she pinched my down south granny who is nothing to play with. Granny turned to her and pinched her right back.…

I don't know if it is so much being ignored as it is old news. That particular phrase is used by so many other rappers and no one ever said a word. Gucci Mane used it years ago in "Shirt Off" and Jim Jones has a whole song called "Anna Mae". Not saying any of that makes it okay, but I think people are just over it.

I just LOVE your name. That is all. :)

@Elle W: I too have never had pressure to date one race over the other, I live in a diverse city and I date the people who treat me well, no matter their color. But that doesn't mean that I'm blind to the things that BlackIvy has pointed out either and if you think that the point of her post is as simple as "who…

@designbot:"Terrible response"? Sorry, you feel that way. I simply meant that if you haven't experienced something, in some cases, it can be hard to "get". It has nothing to do with as you said a "pitiful white brain", which is just a silly thing to say anyway. If you understand, great! You seem to be the only one…

@Seidberelt: As for them being "not worth the time", I can't agree with that from my perspective. But there is definitely a segment of females who go for the so-called thugs or tough guys and shun the educated, good guys, really no different that women of all races who seem to flock to the "bad guys" before giving a…

@usedtobesheababylv: I think you and I are in the same boat. I am not in anyway angry about the man in the article, seems like a nice guy. I don't think he deserves hate mail in anyway, nor do I have an issue with interracial dating per se. While we are at it, like the author, I have to admit that I also don't believe…

Wow, what a well written post. As a fellow educated black woman, I suspect that only other black women are going to understand the complexities of what you wrote here as it is very difficult to understand it if you haven't experienced it. That said, I just had to take the time to let you know that you more than…
