I am at a lost for words. Watching the YouTube footage provided by this website, actually made me cry. This horrifying foootage has giving me, a brief glimpse of what our ancestors must have endured. My heart goes out to the people living in New Orleans. For the two African American men in the video: Thanks for sharing your story." "Keep your head up and don't lose your faith... God is in charge!"

I watch this video and I see NOTHING that justifies the claim. If you want to see racism. Let a white person walk into Harlem after dark and see what happens. But you know the thought that exists; what was a white person doing in a black neighborhood? You got what you deserved. That is the mentality, which is in essence, saying, black are violent, look at their criminal behavior, look at Africa, since the British let Mandela take control. Mandela is an idiot and hasn't proven his worth, but no one calls him out. That's the black way, DON'T HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE

This footage is once again very very disturbing. To see people with the mentality to Shoot to Kill someone over some Material Things is so Un Reasonable until it just makes me Pray More that we as Human Beings would come to learn and to know the difference between that which is Right and that which is wrong. Anyone and I do mean Anyone can replace some THINGS OR POSSESSIONS, but no one can ever replace a life or a body part. And to shoot anothe Human like you would an animal over some things which can be replaced is just WRONG AND VERY MUCH MISGUIDED! And in the end Every Man, Woman has to answer to their Concience whether they want to or not. You Concience will be your very own Judge, which no one can escape. So please all you people who think oh it's okay to do whatever I want and especially when I have all my friends and neighbors backing me up. Just be careful because just as sure as you are born "What goes around Comes around" and it usually comes back to us when we can least afford it and much much more than that we put out. So all you Algierean Neighbors may be Haleluahing it up now, but just as sure as I'm writing this comment It Will come Back To Haunt You and sooner than you may think. GOD HAS A WAY THAT IS MIGHTY SWEET AND PLEASE DON'T EVER FORGET IT.
