Comment Title: To my ignorant white brothers and sisters
It has come to me as no surprise that you have traded in your white sheets for the CPU. You now use this comment section to post your ignorant comments on something that you know little to nothing about. There is no single man or group of men that represent the entire race of any people. These young black males do not represent all young black males. Neither does your ignorance represent all white males or females. Your ignorance is yours and yours alone. I guess at some point you will find a way to blame this one on Obama as well... Meanwhile you are still stuck in the Bushes. I have traveled the world and seen people from all walks of life and the one question that I get asked the most is why do Americans call themselves White Americans or Black Americans? They then say why not just call yourselves Americans. The world sees you as Americans. I have no answer for that question other than "Ignorance".

Comment Title:
Here we go again 99 percent giving the other 1 percent a bad name. The truth is the black race world wide is prone to failure. There is not a single country on this earth with a black majority that is not disease ridden,crime ridden and supported by the rest of the world. So clean up your own race before you start jumping on mine. By the way blacks in the USA have a higher standard of living than anywhere on earth and you know who is paying the bills for that.

Comment Title: Black Pride
Don't you see, this IS the fruit of years of preaching about 'Black Pride'. Don't work hard, study, marry the mother of your children or earn what you want. Being black is enough. - And if you don't have what you want, it's the white man's fault. - These poor young black men have been fed that guff since they were little ones, thanks to the agenda-prone liberal 'teachers'. Now their lives are aimless and they are driven to crime, murder and even suicide.

That's an unfair comment. A) You're innocent until proven guilty B) These people that have been arrested does not represent the many of black law abiding citizens in Aiken and around the world.

Comment Title: Wow
There sure have been alot of pictures of black people in the paper lately who are wanted for violent crimes. I guess our irresponsible political leaders figure that after they spend a bunch of tax dollars on the African Museum that this will instill a sense of pride and lawfulness into this segment of the population.
