No one has ever cared about Black people even when we "cared" for ourselves... stop playin They will continue to not care for us even AFTER we show that we care This argument is ridiculous. Why is it that Black people are always having to PROVE our humanity before we get treated like human beings???

I agree with Gkisses and Nita. Although it's sad that ANY child is murdered, single cases don't garner national attention.

Obama will never be able to satisfy all of American and not all AA's when it comes to his effort and what hes doing. Many of the times those who dont think hes doing enough dont even consider him to be black, think he's weak and etc. So when he does take a stand on an issue in the AA community these same ppl then feel embarrassed and feel like he should of been more sensitive to the matter at hand.
The role of president of the US isnt an easy one and being the first man of color in there is even harder. I just wish ppl took this same intensity and these same expectations to their local gov and demanding these changes and see what happens. I never expected Obama's beige hand to wave through the ghettos and make the streets turn to gold..... that was a false reality that was created by individual ppl and media. It has always suppose to be a "We" thing ... and so far a lot of those ppl screaming yes we can...aint did shh since.
To say that Obama wouldnt have gone to this memorial if it had happened in the inner city is just ridiculous. Obama hasnt been a perfect president by any means....and there are issue he should address but Im not sure ppl even understand or know the individuals locally who they should be putting on front street and seaking to remove from office.

By doing what? These people have guns and gangs.. Who's going to protect the people that take the stand.. You all trip me out.. People do stand up, but they need to be protected.. Tell that to the mother and father and five kids that were killed in Baltimore for trying to get drug dealers off their corner. These fools aren't afraid to kill you, your mom, our anyone else that stands in their way.

I'm pretty sure Obama tears would've been shed had 20 babies been massacred in a Chicago elementary school.
In 1963, 4 little innocent girls were killed in a church bombing by a racially motivated terrorist. This incident is what most believed spark a turning point in the U.S and contributed to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

AMERICA did not care for Black people when Black people pleaded the case. Fact. Every "moral change" that has been made in America has started with enforceable action from the top Try getting White folks to treat Blacks indiscriminately without the use of lawful repercussions

By going after these local elected officials who are put in office to do a job. No one is saying take to the street with baseball bats and try to run off drug dealers and gangs. Its not so simple and it is not a movie this is real life. Folks in cities like this let their local gov off the hook to damn easy. If you become a nuisance things will change. It is seen as a embarrassment. This is not one of those situations were u do one thing or write 1 letter or hold one march this is something that needs to be consistent. When you have an agenda it is nothing something you be lazy about accomplishing.
