This March, Wendy Bell , an anchorwoman at Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV, was fired for posting a rather bizarre missive to her Facebook page, in which she decided to go all Criminal Minds and whip herself up a profile of the type of people she thought probably committed a recent crime. Her "profile" determined that the suspects were "young black men" with terrible fathers and whatnot.
If it wasn't bad enough, she goes on about, "with a rhythm like a dancer with a satisfied smile." Christ, does she enjoy Minstrel Shows and shuckin' and jivin' too?
This is a common trope in fantasy movies. Mary Poppins is my favorite example of this; boundless joy in underpaid menial labor is part of what makes the most magical characters (Mary, Bert, the bird lady) fantastical.
She was working in the shadows there for 17 years, but then her bosses discovered that she was white! Of course it had nothing to do with her publicly saying stupid racist things on Facebook.
"As a black male, I tell my peeps: You all need to grow the **** up and get yawl's **** together."
As a Black female, I talk to other Blacks, those behaving and talking like fools, and tell them to get it together. So, to you I say: Get it together, "brutha".
Your mistake is thinking that the acts and actions of some Blacks was created by all Blacks ( "we", "us"). I do not feel infinitely responsible for the behavior of others. There is validity in the comments that far too many Black males commit crimes and generally drop out of society. There is valdity in the view that there are underlying reasons that lead some to drop out of society, move toward crime, etc. Some, not all. Anyone denying it is not being honest. Yes, Black crime is a problem, so are your comments, my brother.
This line reminded me off a comment made by the character Julia Sugarbaker to her character's sister , Suzanne, on the series Designing Women! It was something like: " Thank you for that timely comment on race relations, Coretta Scott King" .Dating myself but oh well.
"They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs" So, multiple siblings, multiple fathers - like Bristol Palin? And, is working "multiple jobs" a knock on someone ? She loses her place on the prejudice tower for not throwing in welfare or EBT stuff. She might , unwittingly, be making an argument for a living wage and was just misunderstood. That's it! Right?I can't even address the rest of her nonsense.
"brother, brother, brother" ( sung like the great Marvin Gaye)I found Jools Holland's show and was introduced to a whole new world of music because I rarely listen to radio stations that play current music - I am usually on the classic stations on satellite radio .
I find it useful, as a white northwesterner, to haul ass over to VSB before opening my (very well-meaning!) yap. And OH MY GOD. So much turducken!
That's a dead giveaway for a troll

I bet some of his best friends are Negro so it is A-OK.

Hey kid, " you're gonna make it after all!"What was with the random capitalization of the word 'make'?

They are all such happy people. Always singing and dancing.
Already did the research. Sorry you are so profoundly mistaken. And now I'm bored with you.
tl;dr But I'll take a CDC study over your nonsensical assertions, thanks.
