While Freddie Gray’s family asked that everyone in the city of Baltimore remain peaceful while showing their support of her slain son, 100’s didn’t listen. Instead, looting and violence took over the city.“I want y’all to get justice for my son, but don’t do it like this here,” said Freddie Gray’s mother.“I don’t think that’s for Freddie. I think the violence is wrong,” stated Fredericka Gray, Freddie’s twin sister.For those fighting for actual civil rights, this outburstby criminals is a tragic setback. It will take years andmillions of dollars to restore Baltimore and sadly, more violence is expected in the upcoming days.

That's a good mother, i think she has 6 kids. She's truly black. Raining slaps on the boy like shii.

Now they have to clean up all that mess; riots were ill planned and now render viable stores useless to residents who depended on said stories. Now the residents who chose not to riot, for a good reason, are going to have to find another part of town to shop.

Wow.

Wen dis one happen?

Few days back.

I don't know if you know anything about the history of the USA, but riots do not happen until after the police have beaten or killed a young black man. That is not even considering the stuff that police do to young African Americans that are not even talked about or rioted over. The USA is a very racist country. This just stuff that has happened in large cities over the last year or so. This is not even every large city, this is just Chicago and New York mostly and thing is that there is a lot worse stuff that people never even hear about:

Why cant these ldiots ever learn Now they have once again handed themselves on a silver plate to the Right wing media to be attacked for the next 3 months (just like Ferguson). And now that they have gone violent (again!) they will NEVER get the Justice they are calling for because the Media will not care about the Peaceful protesters out there, they will instead focus 99% on a few hundred thugs and criminals.

I expect Fox News to be on full focus on this, and OFCOURSE Its ALL GONNA BE OBAMAS FAULT (They always have something to blame on Obama every day anyway )

They are already getting it,the officers will be probed...They didnt stop the protest

Maybe you should educate yourself about African Americans before making yourself look like a fool. There are only 45 or 50 million African Americans; 20% of which have college degrees. That is 10 million people and on top of that another 3.0 million African Americans were enrolled in college as of the 2013, which was up from 2.6 million people in the 2010 census. 83.7% of African American had at least a high school diploma as of the 2010 census and 1.7 million African Americans had advanced degrees.

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmcensus1.html
http://www.care2.com/causes/30-percent-of-americans-have-a-college-degree.html

I don't think that those number are that bad, considering that African Americans were slaves and it was against the law to teach them how to read or for them to go to school. Not to mention the fact that African Americans had to deal with segregation and discrimination in higher education for over a century.

Do 83.7% of Nigerians have a degree in secondary education? I already know the answer.

But as a Nigerian you should know that if it wasn't for the struggles of African Americans in the U.S. then Nigerians nor any other Africans would be coming to the U.S. for education. It has been a long fight; black people need to stop fighting each other and start working with each other. If black people would have worked with each othen there would have been no slavery and no colonialism which was slavery too.

It is as much as I try to ignore racism it's existence is evident everywhere you look.
