“We, as black people, we have a lot of crooks,” he said, CNN reported.

“We can’t just wait until something like [the Brown shooting] happens. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror.

There is a reason that they racially profile us in the way they do. Sometimes it is wrong. and sometimes it is right.”

I'd like to hear any of the DUmmies explain why this piece of shit doesn't' deserve to get the living crap beat out of him...

Woman with 3-month-old child in chest carrier kicked in back by mugger in Bronx: NYPD

A cell phone thief kicked a woman in the back, knocking her onto a Bronx sidewalk, but he actually assaulted two people — she had a 3-month-old child strapped to her chest.

Police identified the suspect in the Black Friday attack as Alonzo Brown, 18. He remained at large Monday night.

Surveillance video filmed along E. Tremont Ave. near Bronx Park Ave. in West Farms showed the suspect looking both ways, trying to find a mark, about 12:45 p.m. on Friday.

Suddenly the woman, with her child nestled against her chest in a carrier, passed by. She was also toting a shopping bag. The suspect walked a few paces behind her, according to the video. As she approached a sidewalk scaffold, he broke out in a sprint and kicked her on a run in the back.

Another trayvon or micharl brown in the making?   He is only 18 and has several (I heard 22 on the news) prior arrests on his record including one for criminal possession of a weapon.

I'm not sure what you are looking for here.  I posted the article about the cell phone thief who knocked over a woman carrying so he could steal her phone as a back up to Barkley's claim about black people and crooks.

Allow me to elucidate...
My reaction to the thread title of "‘We as black people, we have a lot of crooks’" is...Duh.
But I am a little disappointed at myself because that's not a very intellectual first reaction.
