>I think that NAACP and other "black civil rights groups" would spend their
resources more effectively if they focused on changing the behavior of
certain black males instead of crying "wolf" each time these males get in
trouble with the law. I understand that there is a lot of racial prejudice
in this society, but these males work very hard to keep that prejudice alive
by serving as examples of it.
It is not that "the NAACP and other 'black' civil rights groups" cry "wolf"
every time an African American male "gets in trouble with the law," it is
that these groups take legal action when police power utilizes obvious
excessive force, usually resulting in the death of the arrested.
You are right, prejudice is alive and well in America, and your post is just
another illustration.
This is very disappointing.
