James Ray first in not your honey.. funny you me mentioned "bred" coming from a race where you were taught that the white race is superior.. all my ancestors taught us that we were equal... Back to growing up..not only are we growing up but we are surely on our way to being the majority..I know that somehow scares you that you can't stop it.. especially since I believe we are equal and I welcome every Caucasian girl that my black grandsons date.. I'm sure if they choose to have kids they are going to be a great addition to the black race


Racism is unacceptable in any form, including within the police department. If these officers did send racist text messages, then their actions should be condemned and punished. Police departments are the guardians of our society and must adhere to the principles of fairness, equity and equality to ensure that the safety and rights of citizens are protected. Any violation of these principles should be strictly stopped and punished. For protesters, they have the right to express their grievances and concerns within peaceful and legal limits, but neither violence nor illegal behavior will be tolerated. We should seek to build a just and equal society in which all people are treated with equal respect and dignity.


Susan Swift Teen Takeover" in Chicago sparks outrage online
Netizens were furious after watching viral footage of the teens beating the woman. Many brought up race in the discussion as the teen mob consisted of Black-American youth.A lot of people called it a “hate crime.” Some pointed out that the woman was white, leading to a few others arguing that if a mob of white teens beat a Black woman, it would have been equally disturbing and horrible.However, one Twitter user claimed that CWBChicago’s caption on the post was false and misleading. The user said that the crowd was about to attack a Black teen in a green hat, but the older white woman tried to safeguard the teen and got caught in the fight. The user concluded that the incident was criminal regardless and should be punished by the law.
Does that help?
