Nothing Like A Nice Family Night At The Ballgame In Baltimore

[jjgold]

Tremendous strategy actually by cops

let them burn down their ghetto

[Kermit]

So this is the guy whom they feel is worth burning down their own city?

Some local woman on the news said that the riots were "Devastating to the legacy of Freddie Gray"

I guess this is the legacy that she was talking about.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Probably no one brings it up because it's not true?

You need to brush up on your history. Blacks could vote in many states as far back as 1788 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution which was ratified in 1870 allowed "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state, on account of race,color,or previous condition of servitude". In fact, the constitution allowed black males to vote in 1870, while woman of all races (including whites) were not given the constitutional right to vote until 1920 (19th amendment).

The voting acts right of 1965 gave the Federal government the power to prohibit the states from enforcing literacy or property as a condition to vote (which was considered as prejudicial). Since many blacks couldn't read or write, many were not allowed to vote because the state or county they resided in had literacy requirements (how can they vote if they can't read the ballots?). This also applied to many poor white people as well, who couldn't read or write. Some states also enforced conditions of residency and or ownership of property.

Im very glad someone brought this up.

The historicity of posts on this board is deplorable sometimes.

Heard some angry black man talking last night...Saying "Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, these are not guys worth burning down a city for, I will agree with the protests to some degree when A black man is pulled over for rolling through a stop sign coming home from work going home to his family with zero arrest on his record and he's shot for no reason, just because he was reaching to get his license and registration. That's the guy we should be protesting about, not these guys that would of ended up dead within 5 years anyways if it wasn't the cops doing it, the streets would of"

Easily the best thing I've heard. But again it's just the media blowing this all up. If this were never covered on the news, it's unlikely any riots would happened, in my opinion.

Ray Lewis went off on them boys today. Someone link the video for me if you find it, on my phone can't grab it.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Nice form by this kid here.

And a leftie.

MLB material?

[RavensFan2k3]

Here is the tally so far.

2 People were shot by rioters. 15 officers were injured. There were 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires, Thousands of windows smashed, dozens of businesses broken into and looted, and nearly 200 arrests.

This in Baltimore or from the riots in Kentucky from when they lost?

[jjgold]

The Ray Lewis video has to be epic where is it… Protesting is fine nobody knocks them for that

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Cannot find embeddable version of Ray Lewis video.

We built this city...we built this city on rock and rolllllllll

[Mcducky]

Gonna be honest...if you aren't literate, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. That goes for now, 50 years ago, or 120 years ago.


Take the last two elections for example; how else do you think Obama got in office twice?

http://www.crmvet.org/info/litques.pdf

Example of your "literacy" tests prior to 1965... That test far exceeds basic literacy, and also exceeds any test given to voters today.

Next you may say all citizens should know the constitution and laws of the US. I for one can't answer all of those questions, most of them yes but I honestly couldn't answer 100% of those questions now, and I doubt there are many other adults on this forum that could, whether they be black, white, latino, asian or any other race.

The reason I am able to answer most of those questions is I was provided an education by the beautiful U.S.A. (no sarcasm). How many minorities 50 or 120 years ago were afforded educations, or even had time to go to school? Not to mention the fact that there were very real obstacles to voting, such as fear of repercussions from Southern whites, much less than 120 years ago.

i'm not going to get into a civil rights argument, but please stop with the nonsense. Blacks didn't elect Obama, we are "13 % of the population" to quote someone from earlier in this post. 13% doesn't win the popular vote, there are plenty of young white males and females, and white women that got Obama into office, who is by the way 50% white, so take some ownership.

[jjgold]

Dumb college whites elected Obama

thank those idiots

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Ray Lewis is fired up.

He looks ready to murder somebody.

Kermit don't forgot about State College where the white monkeys were upset that their football coach was fired for providing a safe harbor for pedophiles fighting for progressive social change.

Cant' deny that at all. Kids looked like a bunch of idiots there as well. Destroying a Satellite dish worth over 100K was probably not a good idea.

Different standard of rioting though. Not really much in the way of looting, extreme violence towards others, and destroying everything in sight.

[omega]

the coordinators of these "riots" are not Baltimore natives

they are obama's associates

top down, bottom up, inside out

blacks are merely the dumbass pawns in this marxist game

[jjgold]

Inner City Blacks love to destroy its their specialty

They do not know how to live unless in a cell

Tired of being treated poorly by police? Have you tried not breaking the law?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

The old folks in that community needed that CVS to get their meds.

Thanks for the nomination!

The next Detroit.

Baltimore was lost a long time ago. Chicago is the next Detroit according to the top economists and sociologists.

Anywhere there's a heavy black population history says it goes down

[nova]

I was a kid during the 1967 Newark, NJ riots and lived in the next town, East Orange. There were about 25 deaths. The mentality then is what it is now, i.e., that Blacks have a collective mind set that the White man owes them. I observe that even well-to-do Blacks tend to believe in a general reparation. This is just based on Black friends and colleagues, so it's not a good sample size. But, it bothers the hell out of me. BOL eveyone.

[jjgold]

Nova excellent point having that mentality is why they do not succeed in life

[BigBusiness]

How wrong you are. I suggest you read up on Greenwood. Here is a little sample

Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As one of the most successful and wealthiest African American communities in the United States during the early 20th Century, it was popularly known as America's "Black Wall Street" until the white domestic terrorists attack of 1921. The terrorist attack was one of the most devastating massacres in the history of US, destroying the once thriving Greenwood community.Within five years after the white domestic terrorist attack, surviving residents who chose to remain in Tulsa rebuilt much of the district. They accomplished this despite the opposition of many white Tulsa political and business leaders. It resumed being a vital black community until segregation was overturned by the Federal Government during the 1950s and 1960s.Desegregation encouraged blacks to live and shop elsewhere in the city, causing Greenwood to lose much of its original vitality. Since then, city leaders have attempted to encourage other economic development activity nearby.

So basically black people were just minding their own business and did good for themselves only to have it all destroyed by jealous white devils. I don't know why any of that is a surprise. White devils also killed off the Indians and have been killing off countless other whites for generations. There are many more places just like greenwood today!

Houston STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!
