Why is it in this country

[Robbins]

we care more about people being killed In middle east than about young black men being killed unarmed by Police?

Something Is very wrong indeed.

1. You are not speaking for me.

Maybe you feel that way. I don't.

2. I believe the OP is generalizing.

I may be wrong, but I think this is about trends, as opposed to all.

[SheilaT]

7. Yeah, I know, but I am heartily sick of generalizations like that.

Like the ones about parents not caring enough to make sure their kids stay in school and do homework, or the ones about an entire generation being too lazy. In all such cases it is only a minority of people that fit the complaint, and I wish it would stop.

SOME people care more about kids in the ME than black teens in this country. If that's true of the OP, then he should explain why he feels that way, not try to include everyone else.

8. That is fair, in my opinion. nt

3. i think the FAR bigger issue is that we don't care how many people of color die

in whichever part of the world they maybe

[msongs]

4. or people of no color either for that matter nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. no, we care about that for the most part. nt

9. "We" (as a nation) certainly appear to put more value ....

... on the lives of "white" folk than those of people of color .... however, there is another tier .... "we" do not appear all that fond of poor white folk (appearing as a third tier)

5. I care about both. nt
