Ok, Buck, you asked an honest question

[ag-man]

Now let me ask one.

Man robs a store, manhandles the clerk, and leaves. Walks down the street with stolen merchandise , is confronted by police, he then assaults police officer and in the process, gets killed.

My question, do you think looting and burning businesses is a reasonable response that will help your cause , or hurt it?

You seem to be wondering why the "thug" word is used so much. Do you think the behavior exhibited explains this?

I have no doubt black people have been discriminated against. Will this behavior help racist to see your point, or just reaffirm what they thought?

His dead body was left in the street uncovered for hours, I don't know of Darren Wilson used excessive force or not and wont act like I know for sure.

What I do know for sure is white people especially conservative journalists enjoy using the word thug to describe young, black men. I find this disingenuous, I wish they'd just call them what they want to call them. What they likely call them behind closed doors.

I don't hear them call white "protesters" thugs, don't hear them call women regardless of race thugs. Been watching Fox News for a very long hour and have heard the term thug thrown out no less than 12 times...is it racist? Maybe not, sure seems to be the subtext of it though.

As I have stated, don't watch Fox News so I haven't seen that. Do respect your honest answer to an honest question.
