For one, when anyone of ANY race causes destruction and violence in public streets, I look at them in disgust… whether it’s angry black people tearing Baltimore apart over one guy, or crazy white sports fans going wild in town after a game. Skin color has nothing to do with it. Every day for the past couple weeks, each time I turn on any news channel, I’m bombarded with this Freddie Gray crap. What about all the other events going on in America and the world? The government is trying to distract us– and divide us– using this man’s death as the main focus. The mainstream news itself should be renamed because all they ever report on is the problems blacks are having with police. Continue complaining, causing havoc and terrorizing your cities, guys, you’re not making your fellow African Americans look any better… :/

I’m an American. I don’t have to shut up even if I’m white. I do however have a responsibility to obey laws (legally) and treat other people and their property with respect (morally). I don’t support police brutality but I don’t support crime and terror either.

This piece reminds me of the “have you stopped beating your wife” diversion. How does a stupid act by white sports fans excuse a stupid act by black protesters? Stupid is stupid. And trashing your neighborhood beauty salon is definitely stupid.
