I have no sympathy for a white or black boy who got himself shot by being stupid. It's just the comments that are being made that make us all think of racism. Whether it’s hidden racism or not it’s still alive and well.

Do you see the area actually EVER making enough significant progress to make decent folks want to move back?
I've read that Anacostia is becoming gentrified after many years as a Suicide Slum. Some of the longtime residents are resentful of the gentrification, seeing it as racist. That's how Marion Barry got re-elected to the city council the last time--he's an expert at maniupulating resentment for his own gain.

This forthcoming press conference should be interesting but it will never appease the "eclarks". What has me bewildered is the action of the media. The selective reporting is too obvious when the interviews are only with members of his dysfunctional family also with criminal records. NBC and even worse, the Washington Post, report on the somber memorial and Lyle's sweet character while Fox 5 shows a liquor bottle littered "memorial" and a bunch of illiterate, loudmouth criminals.
That sounds a lot like the media circus generated by Terri Schiavo's parents. I think in both cases, the families' emotions prevented them from accepting certain realities. And the media has its own delusion, portraying issues like this as simple good versus evil, the little guy against the big guy. I think that's sad, because it makes cops look like sadistic murderers.

I'm okay, I'm at the calm before the storm, I know my friend is dead but the reality won't set in until the funeral and my heart will break some more.

:wah:

If you're looking for someone to feel sorry for you, you've come to the wrong place.
