Why is this story so publicized? Let the story die. Why is the family being interviewed so much? I hate how it's all just a ploy to demonize black people and make them look bad.
This type of logic is so stupid, the reporters know this but they know it will draw attention so they put it on display.

it's not because they're black it's because they're stupid

Edited by A Syrian Refugee: 3/21/2016 2:34:13 AMBlack people make themselves look bad enough as it is. The media has nothing to do with it Im from detroit. I see it firsthand so dont try to label me a white boy from a gated community. If anything the media goes nice on you guys. Im yet to hear the medai point out the fact black males make up 6% of the US population yet commit 50% of the murders in the US annually
-
You dont wanna be labeled yet you just labeled all black people. Nice. I would talk about that stats but you got them wrong. Black people are more than 6%. When you get the actual stats right we can talk about it.
-
My stats are right buddy. If you could read I said Black MALES make up 6% of the US population. Black people as a whole are 12-13% Black males are basically 1/20th of the population yet account for 1/2 of all murder in the US and 3/5 of all robberies. I know its probably hard for you to understand this because I didnt blame duh racist white man but please try
-
Ha 3/5s of robberies for 3/5s of a person.
-
That was good lol
-
Pretty sure they make themselves look bad, media just publicizes it.
-
Yes but then these little white kids from their gated communities who never seen black people before build uneducated perceptions about them.
-
Lol, you truly believe that's a thing ? I feel sorry for you mate.
-
Can confirm, five year old me was afraid to touch black people because I thought I'd become black.
-
The people who don't live anywhere near black people are the least racist
-
TRUE!!!!!!! Its the ones who have to actually deal with black people who are racuist. And for good reason The whites like Jon Stewart who arent racist live in 99% white towns far away from black people so they dont understand why someone could be racist towards them. I urge any white person who thinks they like black people to stay a month in detroit, no a week and guarantee they leave hating them

We're having this problem where i live. In the last 10 years a neighborhood close by started becoming predominantly black. We hadn't had a documented murder in 150 years, now we've had 7 in the last 2. Overall crime is going up and housing prices are going down. As a community we know poverty and education are the culprit to blame but damn its a slow road helping anyone that blames you for their problems. In my state you can now go to community college for 2 years paid by the state and in my town enrollment for blacks has stayed the same.
-
I would love to agree and say it does have to do with poverty and education but if thats true then how come the poor uneducated Premoinantly white Kentucky towns arent as dangerous as black cities?
-
My guess would be different life and upbringing. I cant say what goes throught anybody's head. You have to remember a lot of blacks that were alive during the civils right era are still alive. These people seen a lot of hate towards them, and hate breeds hate. I still stand behind it starts with educating, not just academics but the way a person thinks. The bigots of both sides are getting older and will soon die off, so there's that to look forward to.

I live in a 98% white town and I'm not a racist
-
Exactly because you havent expierenced what its like to live around black people. After the 2nd assault, 3rd robbery, and 1st person you know being murdered by a black you tend to become a little racist. You living in an all white town have no chance to expierence this. The differences between white people and black peoples lifestyles are huge
-
Because black mean green to them.
