78. Big Mouth Al is a bigger Media Whore than Paris Hilton. He and Jessie Jackson are the biggest Racists in America. I'm sick of their whining and bitching all of the time. If they don't like it here, they should move to Africa. It's hard to believe that those two are "Preachers". Where did they and Jeremy whats-his-name go to school? Bigot University ? How old is Jessie Jackson's illegit kid now ?

79. Everyone focuses on "the shooting". Nevermind that the dumbass brought it on himself. Anytime a black person is shot, all the blacks are suddenly up in arms......like the culprit was some saint. Everyone wants to talk about how blacks are the only ones in prison. Maybe if these young wanna-be thugs weren't standing on the street corner with their asses hanging out and maybe get a job and WORK for a living, there wouldn't be so many in jail. What are the cops supposed to do? Turn a blind eye to the crime and say, "Well, we don't have enough white people in jail yet, so we can't arrest another black until the ratio is balanced". Puh...leeeeeeze ! ! !

# 14 thank you for speaking up for the black Americans on this blog. Most of these peeps here are nothing more than racist arsses.

It doesn't matter whether cops are white, Hispanic or black, they all have the same mentality and should be held accountable for their actions. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour. Cops are now being categorized as being gun toting, drug plant in, "THUGS" !!!

After this situation, and now another cop beating three young black males in Philly. What THE F&^% is their problem, It seems to me as if they have digressed into what they were during the Rodney King era.

83. Bell,
Me personally, I enjoy load music, hevy bass, and vocal clarity. I was pulled over at 7:00 p.m. Pulling me over was not the problem . . . . the problem was the gun to my head. Aside from the gun being pointed at me, I was given a "disturbing the peace" citation and a "no sound amlification permit" ticket. Are you serious? However, I from Houston where White, Mexican, and Asian motorists play their music just as loud (if not louder) . So to answer your question, I dont know why Black people play their music loud.

86. This so called CHRISTIAN is a big huge trouble maker and he has no brain at all. He is a monster. I cant handle even looking at him. He loves to make troble everywhere. LOSER! Get a real job. YOU STINK! You get people in troble and ruin thier lives and protect the criminals just beacause the color of thier skin. You and Jesse Jackson make alot of the people here in the USA sick. Get out and find a place out in the middle of the ocean and jump in soon. Oh! i cant belive you at all. YUK! You are a hater. You are not out for peace ,your out to kill the white man.

87. Hey 5thWardTx:
Well, I don't "Know for sure" 100% of the time.. but when I do hear the car, I'm always one to take notice, and around here, it's usually the same cars, so I'm familiar with them and the people driving them. Some I'm even 'More' familiar with, cause they'll stop and get out to talk to one of their friends, and leave the car on with the music BLASTING.. and yes, again, it's usually in the Super Early Morning hours. So that's how I know.. at least about these guys. And yes, they all happen to be Black.. although, I think one might be a Haitian Immigrant, from his Accent.

88. Also 5thWardTx:
Sorry to hear about the Gun pointed at your head.. that not Right at all.. totally unjustified. I know You Dig Playing Your Music Loud.. by why, may I ask, "That" Loud?.. to the Point where it's Unnecessarily Loud and Disturbing to others?

89. Hey Al, words really arent for you. Someone ought to lock you up for good. You do start trouble at others expence and you put black victims up in front of all and say look at what the white man did to this poor black person. Your sick look around you now. There is alot of white people out in this world who dont even come close to getting down to your stinkin level of the blame game. You deserve jail time for starting trouble and spreading hatred throughout America. You go to far and you think your doing a world of good. NOT! You make yourself look foolish and you exploit people so you can get on television. I hope a bus runs you over. The world doesnt need you and your hate spreading at this time.
