  Officer Wilson not indicted in killing of Michael Brown

  after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.

  let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .

  "1) The sentiment you speak of is not specific to black people, and is a sentiment that aligns with low income areas." - okay, so pacopoolio, for all the poor/low income areas that happen to be black, because it's a low income area and the sentiment is that education and advancing is too white or somehow negative, do they have a right to claim oppression and discrimination for being poor when they frown upon doing anything to get them out of that situation? What is the solution here? Are they doomed for generation after generation to be poor and welfare if the sentiment is not to get education?

  Okay, so if in low income black areas, those who try to improve are called acting 'too white', what is the sentiment in low income white neighborhoods? What are they told? O wait, I know, 'a nerd' right?

  Pacopoolio - As a JW, I had made a lot of black friends. One of the only good things about JW's was the cultural diversity. Anyway, quite a few of them remarked to me about the comments and attacks made to them by other blacks while they were in school. Then I've seen news reports and stories too online from general black people who do good in school, move into a nicer neighborhood, etc, told they are being too white, traitor, etc. Blacks who try to better their lives are very much discriminated against by other blacks. Are there any blacks on this message board who would disagree and say these other blacks who have told me these things are wrong or isolated cases?

  Lisa - " how many generations past slavery" - slavery is NOT what has held blacks back today. The jim crow laws and discrimination are, so it's not slavery but how long after the civil rights in the 1960's were passed. If it was just slavery, they would have caught up (provided they took the same opportunities everybody else had)

  lisabobeesa - My black american history professor who when speaking about the problems of the past and then the problems today (and he grew up in during the discrimination years), he brought out how all of those still alive are still angry and will never get over it and they pass this down to their kids, so his generation must die off, when all of those who experienced the real discrimination have died off, then they may really start to catch up. But you have their kids now who were told everything from their parents who directly lived it, so my personal thoughts are it will start to really improve but probably take a couple of generations atleast for the whole culture to catch up. (assuming the kids realize nothing holding them back now and they must take control of all the opportunities they have), if the culture as a whole dropped the "don't do good in school because it's too white" stigma today then it would be much quicker.

  "ARe there any biologcial differences in African Americans as a group that would prevent them, if they worked very hard, to achieve equality with whites as a group in terms of wealth, education, poltical representation, ect?"

  Absolutely not! The biggest thing I see holding it back is the culture and those who try to excel at those things being labeled as acting 'too white' or a traitor to their race/culture. Holding back their own culture from advancing then blaming everybody else for the consequences. And I'm talking about today, not talking about 40+ years ago.

  "In the United States, it's estimated that sickle cell anemia affects 70,000–100,000 people, mainly African Americans."

  That is a scientific fact, that is a biological difference.

  Are all breeds of dogs biologically identical?

  For math, that would be a cultural thing.

  Since it seems most on this board are athiests, then from that standpoint it would make sense that cultures in different environments for thousands of years would have some biological differences because of evolution.

  So for math and smarts, if a culture puts more emphasis on education then another, then their beliefs and pursuits as a culture are responsible for their smarts.

  For something like sickle cell, chances are a person in the USA who has it would be because of biological reasons of being black. Other races can get it, but black people get it more.
