Should Black Males be Mad When Whites Stereotype Them Because of Their Higher Crime Statistics?
The black crime statistics are what they are. Yet we can quote statistics until we are all black and blue, but the reality of the matter is that, me being a black male, and there are millions of blacks like me who have never committed a crime, who have never been arrested, who have never been on parole, who are bascially law abiding citizens, and yet no one addresses that statistic as well—-HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM? But, unfortunately, a black male like me, who has two degrees still falls into the stereotype, because of my fellow black brotha’s inability to obey the law in proportion to whites. Should I be mad at that brotha for making my life hard by allowing whites to justify stereotyping me when they say blacks only make up 13% of the population yet commit 50% of the crimes? Should I act a fool every time I run into a person who is suprised to see that I am articulate, educated, and non combative? The reality of being black in America too is that we seem to give many reasons for whites doi
