Fresh perspective from a Baltimore Native

[Archer]

A little profanity-ridden, but I respect his views nonetheless.

Yup. Had some good points.
Might have thrown in some other examples, but he kept it short and to the point.

That young man has his head screwed on straight.

He said more truth and logic in just a few brief minutes on a you tube video than
any "Professional" speakers in the last week.

His only agenda is peace for his people.
Politicians have put all this in place for us and now we are reaping what they have sown.

A bit profane for my tastes, but there is some good sense there that I wish some of the "protestors" would at least consider.

If you want the audience to listen, you speak their language.

That's a great video!

I agree. It's easy to generalize everyone in a given area when things like this transpire, but it's important to see the other side of the coin.

 

[Bfish]

He obviously isn't an idiot despite what some people may say... It would be nice to see a few more with his thought process.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

He is spot on! Acting like criminals to protest being stereotyped as criminals is like screwing to promote virginity. It gives the racists out there more ammo to say, "See? We told you so!"

well put sir

Sounded to me like his only issue with rioting, looting and destruction is that it didn't 'get us anywhere'.

It's also, you know, wrong. Even if it 'gets you somewhere'.

Just my two cents.

Yeah it sure did sound like that. "I am all for f***ing some s*** up if it got me closer to a solution."

Well, that leaves all kinds of immorality on the table depending on the perceived injustice. Can't endorse that.

 

[churchmouse]

Listen to the whole thing. You can pull the negative out of it sure. There is some positive.
It is a start gentlemen.

Well, there's a man better screwed together than almost any other person we've seen on television from since this incident took place.



Personally, don't really care about the 'colorful' language, learned to ignore it at the old jobs. Actually, this young guy kind of reminds me of a Will Smith character!

I don't have issue with how the termed it. If rioting and looting makes the powers at be take notice of your legitimate concerns, and mobilizes those of like mind, it should be considered an legitimate, albeit illegal, form of protest. However the bar should be extremely high in choosing to do so, and all other avenues exhausted.

Wtf?Will Smith???? You know we don't all look alike right? Lol

WHAT???????????
Crap.
Now I know.

 

[ModernGunner]

Listen to the way he phrases some of his sentences. Can almost hear Will in "Men In Black" and "Hancock", LOL...

We don't all look alike? Actually, we kind of DO.* Typically two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears...

Never really look at a guy, whatever his skin color, and thought "Oh look, an aardvark!"

*Note: This observation obviously does not include Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, or Miley Cyrus!

A joke... no need to get defensive.
