from my friend, a 40-year old black dude from detroit (who lives in nj):

Ok; so since once again, all this racially motivated stuff is on my feed I'm just say one thing. Don't worry; I know many won't "Like" the status cause it's not drama based; a fight or dead people video or something ratchet but anyway here ya go:

1. Most black men who were born before 1990 are traumatized by the police from the 70's and 80's; there's your answer to "Why aren't there black police policing black neighborhoods?"

2. DON'T RUN FROM THE COPS IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE! If you're dirty; just face up. They caught you! Think of it this way: What happened when you had the stones enough to run from your parents when they tried to whip you when you did something wrong??? EXACTLY! And they loved you; it's not the cops job to love you!!! And if your parents didn't spank/whip/beat you then you're part of the problem (Sorry not sorry)

3. STOP BLAMING THE HOOD!!!!! You mess up; you face up! Simple as that.

4. Looking the other way is not the same as turning the other cheek. We act like ALL these people getting shot up by the police didn't do anything to be on their radar in the first place. Until we turn from our wicked ways God does not hear from Heaven. Like the meme said; "We talk about free Ray Ray but Ray Ray done killed 10 people. Let Ray Ray stay right where he at!"

5. Are you a victim or a victor????????? No job where you at? MOVE!!!!!!!! We need to stop accepting when people say "Wasn't no jobs in my community so I sell dope" Biggest garbage I ever heard! No excuses!!!!

6. Stop babying these boys and girls; I mean these men and women! You make the mistake; you fix it. You can help, but don't fix. Not your place. I would have NO RESPECT for my stuff if I didn't pay for it with my own money from my own job that I get myself to and from.

If you're uncomfortable by what I've said, I'm really not sorry. My page, my words; I can say what I want. I'm sick of hearing and seeing the nonsense. Please unfriend me if you're mad. Don't inbox me just delete. No love lost; I can love you from a distance as proven by this media outlet. Honestly I probably wouldn't even notice. IJS

PS: Be thankful the streets aren't patrolled by ACTIVE DUTY soldiers; think about that for a second
