Wanna hear what pisses me off about SOME Black activists?

This is my rant about Sharpton, Jackson, and the whole TV hog crew.

* They rallied behind a woman whose baby was shot and killed by police during a standoff with the baby's father. When it was revealed that the baby had traces of cocaine in her system, it was quickly swept under the rug as an erroneous test result. Meanwhile, they forged ahead with a lawsuit against the police department.

* In Compton, a 13-year old boy was shot and killed by police at 3:00 AM when he tried to ram them with his car. The activists never bothered to ask his stupid mother why her son was 1) driving a car and 2) out so late at night.

* The activists jump on any non-black usage of the "N" word, but they fail to publicly single out and challenge rap artists by name and demand change.

I know in some rare cases we still do need activists, but lately I feel that they make things a whole lot worse by supporting people who are clearly wrong just because they are Black.

End of rant.

    I agree. I'm really sick and tired of certain activists speaking for everyone else. They need to spend less time trying to fight everyone else and encourage those in their own community to change and lead by example.

    Could it be that they sensationalize to bring attention to themselves? Some people believe everything they say without checking the facts and they appeal to there emotions.

    It's all about their political agenda, not the individual situation or the percieved injustice.
