you are all doing exactly as the Media wants for you to do, remember without having a mission (that being, to put us "the people" at odds with each other) they, the media, would be out of business. Oh yes and let us not forget the politicians using the exact same "cause", it certainly takes away from all their political finagling, and puts the onus on "racist America" on "the people". When in fact, if has nothing to do with race, but a mentality, a mentality of "I can do any damn thing I want to and I should not be held accountable", and should those racist pigs decide to blame me, then I'm gonna tear up the town. Its the mentality of I can litter anywhere I want, because hey someone else will clean it up. I have seen it first hand when that "welfare mentality" moves into an area, that area, within 5 miles of where they moved becomes a trash bin, and thats putting it nicely. I think Don Lemon, (IMHO, a treasure for the black community to follow) said it quite succinctly, "Respect where you live. Start small by not dropping trash, littering in your own communities. I’ve lived in several predominantly white neighborhoods in my life, I rarely, if ever, witnessed people littering. I live in Harlem now, it’s a historically black neighborhood, every single day I see adults and children dropping their trash on the ground when a garbage can is just feet away. Just being honest here". […]
Oh yes, one more thing, The People's Power Assembly (sounding a tad like The Black Panthers to me) using social media to incite gang crowds and/or flash crowds of those who know nothing about nothing, except that they want to be part of something.

Here is ALL of what Mr Lemon had to say, thank you, because if a white man/woman says it, we are considered racist:
“Here’s number five. Pull up your pants. If you’re sagging, I mean — I think it’s your self-esteem that is sagging and who you are as a person it’s sagging. Young people need to be taught respect and there are rules. […]
Number four now is the n-word. I understand poetic license, but consider this: I hosted a special on the n-word, suggesting that black people stop using it and that entertainers stop deluding yourselves or themselves and others that you’re somehow taking the word back. […]
Now number three. Respect where you live. Start small by not dropping trash, littering in your own communities. I’ve lived in several predominantly white neighborhoods in my life, I rarely, if ever, witnessed people littering. I live in Harlem now, it’s an historically black neighborhood, every single day I see adults and children dropping their trash on the ground when a garbage can is just feet away. Just being honest here. […]
Number two, finish school. You want to break the cycle of poverty? Stop telling kids they’re acting white because they go to school or they speak proper English. […]
And number one, and probably the most important, just because you can have a baby, it doesn’t mean you should. Especially without planning for one or getting married first. More than 72 percent of children in the African-American community are born out of wedlock. That means absent fathers. And the studies show that lack of a male role model is an express train right to prison and the cycle continues. So, please, black folks, as I said if this doesn’t apply to you, I’m not talking to you. Pay attention to and think about what has been presented in recent history as acceptable behavior. Pay close attention to the hip-hop and rap culture that many of you embrace. A culture that glorifies everything I just mentioned, thug and reprehensible behavior, a culture that is making a lot of people rich, just not you. And it’s not going to.”
