Pete observed:
"Think for a minute what is says for what passes for "black culture" that they would idolize a man who was a life-long thug, and criminal without ONE single redeeming quality (other than skin color,that is) to the point where they would put up statues honoring his life in public parks."
It should convey to whites just about everything they need to know about the state of "black culture" today.
There is nothing of such "culture" that is worth emulating nor should any of it be a part of the mainstream American culture.
Sorry if you don't like that.
