(7,759 posts)blood. "Thugs" are people too...but some thugs are more favored than others (militias, some bikers, etc.) I still watch in my super market as kids from the high school next door flood the place at lunchtime and proceed to pilfer and steal as much as they can put in their pockets and no one bats an eye (mostly white, mostly upper class families live in my area...the few minorities around are watched with frowns and suspected of every wrong doing. I watched two black teens enter the store and immediately picked up the produce manager as an eye on as the white kids just pocketed chips, cookies, and gum and no one even glanced except me. I told the store manager on the way out what I saw and he said thanks, "I'll pay more attention at lunch time." That was it..
Nothing surprises me any more. A young black teen gets killed carrying a pack of skittles and the children of the elite get away with murder...or at least stealing.
