I'm Black and 'Well-Behaved,' but I'm Still Mike Brown

No doubt.

White Guilt on a national level.

Mob entitlement and rage, as discussed.

They don't care what Brown did, the looters believe they're owed something.

1. Call it deviant.
2. Reject it.
3. It's social, not racial.
4. I see right through you.

Hilarious.

You're not listening to "black people," you're listening to people who "say they're Mike Brown."

You're the worst promoter of racism and stereotypes, doing it under the guise of goodwill...

So I take it you're a black man Zeke?

Now that you mention it, we did have a lot of Hispanics in Florida.

I don't see that so much in here in Mobile.

Any plans to go to Talladega Raceway?
I would love to see a Cup race there.

Nice -- lame -- attempt to redirect a post that publicly kicked your ass.

Anyway, the blonde was needling her black girlfriend colleague unrelentingly and mercilessly all night over some girlfriend shit I couldn't understand. Finally, Barbara had enough, spun around, got right in the blonde's face and screamed, "Will you shut the fuck up, nigger!!!"

Without question the most powerful total blurring of racial lines that I had ever experienced.

Just another story for the book, eh Pete?

Yep Proves she was accepted for sure!

When I was in the hood it was 'my nigga', or my nig for short. I was my nig, you were my nig, anyone you knew and didn't hate was my nig. All youalls are my nigs
