- It was probably over a girl....this won't stop until every Black male 17-25 is dead in every inner city.....were almost there. It makes me wonder if they were slipped a drug and told..."kill the guy that looks just like you especially if he blinks".If you think about it, this is how it seems.— chop1118

I am a black male, 26 years old, a resident of Philadelphia, a native of the Philly slums and more productive than most of the individuals here commenting. I define productivity as educational background, service to community and tax value.
I don't wish you death nor do I hope for long-lived peril in your lives. I just want you to understand that YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME, and that every inner city black male from teens to twenties isn't a criminal. Generalizing is as much as a problem as making excuses and I ask that you do neither. I promise to do the same.- Comment removed.
- Description: BLACK male, who else. Same old same old.
