I don't even get the MLP cartoon. She says she likes hoodies. She gives a reason for it. There's no joke there.
Is it just 'this is vaguely related to a topical issue and has a picture of a pony so the brony crowd will love it and think they're being political'?
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Two things. 1 the surgeon warning. 2, Hoodie on different wearer have different out comes... as you have seen the past... say 8 pages?
Though of course a cute pony and a black man should be equal, but in this world we know it is not to be.
Feigning ignorance just for an attempt to get me might not be in your best interest seb

Now I'm just more confused. An attempt to get you to what?

Not answering this question honestly is why we can't have a real discussion about race, stereotypes, and moving into the 21st century.

Is it bad that I want to wear my necktie like a bandanna, stab it to death with a bic pen, bath in its blood and hold its head high in my hands while shouting "the Weather Man is Dead!!!"

I think the main issue here is that 'African American males' gets conflated with 'hood rat gangstas'.
I don't think that Trayvon found heat because he was a young African American male. I think he found heat because he was a hood rat gangsta.
Just to clarify, you think that is how Trayvon was perceived, as a hood rat gangsta? So, you would argue that American (Gated Community) Society consider African American males as hood rat gangstas?
Or
Are you saying that Travyon was a hood rat gangsta, and not just perceived as one?
Thanks for clarifying for me.
