Cam’ron On ‘60 Minutes’ Segment, ‘Stop Snitchin’

Friday, April 20, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Cam’ronTo snitch or not to snitch – the debate in hip-hop over whether it’s okay to cooperate with authorities in police investigations is the center of discussion on this Sunday’s CBS program “60 Minutes.”

Harlem rapper Cam’ron is featured in a segment titled “Stop Snitchin,” and he explains why he refuses to speak to cops, even when the police investigation is centered on him.

When asked by host Anderson Cooper about his own 2005 shooting in Washington, D.C., which left him with three gunshot wounds, Cam explained why he didn’t go to police for help.

“It would definitely hurt my business, and the way I was raised, I just don’t do that,” Cam’ron said, adding that not snitching is “a code of ethics” in the streets.

“If I knew the serial killer was living next door to me? I wouldn’t call and tell anybody on him -- but I’d probably move … but I’m not going to call and be like, ‘The serial killer's in 4E.’”

“60 Minutes” airs on Sunday, April 22, at 7.p.m ET/PT.

I would say that he could have used the police "blue wall of silence" as a defense to not snitching, but since he is too stupid to pay for a publicist to prepare him for "60 minutes", which is the most highly respected news hour, i will let him stink in the whole dipsh*t bowl.... He could have made a better analogy.... P.s. I do not support not snitching......(lol)

Cam is a F*ck*ng idiot. He said (if a serial killer lived next to me, i would move out) n*gga,,that is being straight P*ss*,if you ask me. Someone needs to put a sock in his dumb ass mouth, cause everytime he talks he sounds like an idiot. He is making juelz and dip's look really stupid as of late.

Snitch when it is necessary! like: when you see ur loved one get hurt or killed. When a child is involved. When you know that person was definitly wrong. You will hope someone snitch for you when someone kills you. Duh.

That's very unfortunate! if someone had cam's mom tied up in a basement...what he want to know? seriously, "snitching" is so childish! if bringing somebody to justice means somebody else gets to keep their life...call me... Mr. Snitchy man! or the snitchinator! or mc snitch-a-lot ...i'll be making songs like... "this is why i snictch" or 1,2 snitch or throw some snitches on it...just bought a snitchalac!

At first i thought yep, thats the norm for cam but as i continue to ponder on the comment. I would not snitch on a serial killer... Im like either this boy is just got no sense of reality in his life and everything is just money cars and women or hes some type of entertainment model of a human. Like the lord put him here to show us what not to do. Hes not real, the lord got skills so he just looks real. Man i dont know what will help cam. All we can do is pray for him. For right now he's bout to make another million for all the pub he's bout to get. While the folks on 60 minutes is laughing they ass off in the back getten they celebration on. At the same time in some ways i think we need cam to continue doing the dumb sh*t. Just so we can feel better bout ourselves. Maybe thats we he does so well he very consistant...trust when given attention cam will act an ass and then we all can say see, im not that bad.

Omg!! are you joking cam? who allowed his dumb ass to appear on 60 min? what ever happened to "oh boy"? now cam is runnin 'round here acting all "gansta". He needs to wake up and realize that this whole "stop snitchin" is old as hell!! if it wasnt for this whole damn thing, then pac and biggies murderers would have already been caught and dealt with. You wouldnt tell if there was a serial killer next door? you are seriously trippin. Leave the rap game, cam....your time is up!!

This goes to show how ignorant people really are. They've taken this snitching thing to the limit. It's idiots like cameron that distort the true meaning of the word "snitch". My question is of all the individuals they could have interviewed they interviewed him.

Can you believe this idiotic,stupid,dumbass,moron!!!! this Bia'chass punk says on national tv, if i knew a serial killer or rapist lived next door he would'nt tell the police or feds he'd just move out!!! yeah n*gga that's what you do best. I seen it you run!!! cam'run, F*ck the hood as long as the psycho don't kill me i'm good. This has nothing to do with "hood" justice!!! aka telling on the n*gga on the corner moving "green" & yayo,heroin etc. I want to see what all the brainwashed "Bia'chset" tipryders say about this, what excuses are they gonna come up with after this?!!!!

A lot of you don't understand the culture and what it's like growing up seeing police do more harm than good. Catching beat downs by the cops, senseless harassment daily. Most of you that are talking grew up playing softball with your police nazi, neo kkk racist ass next door neighbor my dads drinking buddy ing cops and that's your view of the police. Well being a black male my perspective of there asses is much different. Maybe i wouldn'nt go as far as saying i wouldn't call on a serial killer but my attitude is still 'em. They traded those white kkk sheets for them ing cop uniforms 'em all. Like ice cube said there motto is to "serve protect and break a n*ggas neck. I could never trust them it's not my fault cause they never presented themselves in my neighborhood in a positve manner like they want to help so again those undercover nazi kkk racist undercover skinhead s.

Eventhough i think cam is a clown, he is right about snitching. Most people that dont agree with him just dont understand - its just certain things you just dont do. From where i come from once you cooperate with the cops or even be labeled as a snitch u are the walking dead and its just a matter of time before u be missing. So people mind their own business and real street folks handle their own so u dont need the cops. Unless u lived it or dealt with u cant speak on it. So stop passing judgement!

I dont snitch i know that much.... And if a serial killer was livin next to me.... I wouldnt move... I would put him on my team.... If he down with that then..... Theres more serial killers out there...... He wouldnt live long either way!.... And how did cam get to be on 60 minutes... How yall let that happen??

Ok ok, we can all say cam f*cked up on this one. And jimmy should be the new leader of dipset. But that will never happen. One good thing coming out of this is that he is calling 50 a snitch. And thats wat it is. I wouldn't call the alpahabet boyz if there was a serial killer next door to me. I'd handle my biz..i'd go find some pizza outfit get a pizza box, show on the catz door mat asking if so and so lived here and tell him that theres a delicious pizza in the box and start to open the box while my other hand is holding the box witch is cut on the bottom to fit a 9 in and then when he looks just pop a few in him leave ditch the clothes. Go back to my house call the police and say. "omg i just heard shots ring ou from the other house next to mine"..hahaha then let them boyz handle their biz. Never snitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and f*ck 50 f*cking cent. He's p*s*y

What cam did is just stupid. I can understand he wants to be a tuff guy but what he said is pure ignorance. There's another reason for parents to blame rap for the stupid things there kids do. It also hides the positive things a couple of rappers do for their communities

Wow, that was funny did he make that up, or did someone tell him to say that? lol i dont understand how someone could say something so dumb! however, if you listen to his music i guess we kinda already knew that he would say sumthin like that.....party like a rockstar

I can see where people from the streets are coming from about snitching. But just because it's logical doesn't mean it's "good" sense, just "common" sense. (some people will get that) the reason things get worse in the hood is cause we allow it to. The reason we got our rights in this country in the 60's is because we "stopped" allowing ignorance to happen. One of the problems today is that mlk's and malcom x's voices have been replaced with rappers like cam'ron. That's real.
Posted by Wo
I feel sorry for this young generation because of their thought process. It is apparent that god is missing from their lives, and so is conscious. Parents step up lead and teach your children what's right and wrong so that when anyone, rapper, etc. Makes a questionable comment what ever you have instilled in them will shine through. Stop snitchin' is the very reason our society has so many unsolved murders. It is the very reason on mother's day i have to visit my mother's grave.

Posted by Whiz
Ok ok ok we get it don't snitch. Plea bargaining is cowardly when you should just do your own time. There is no code its a myth. People don't talk cause they scared not because of honor. A kingpin will rat on his runners to knock 5 years off a sentence. But even if you firmly believe in never cooperating with cops under any circumstances, isn't there a certain degree of snitching involved to say it on national television? it's not as if gangstas are watching 60minutes and listening to cam. The cops are though and they ready to beat a testimony out of dudes instead of asking. 60 minutes doesn't care about snitching. Cam is just a clown in their circus. 1 black man can make a million black men into ni99as.

Didn't he snitch and say some one threw up the dynasty sign when he got shot... Which unfortunatley was a foiled operation
Posted by s neezy
Telling the police about illegal activities is not snitching. Doing crime with your partner and then you get caught and rat him out as well... That's snitching!

I thought the whole 'stop snitching' movement applied to federal cases only.
Posted by Rico
Wow!! i can't believe cam would go on national television and embarrass himself in such a way.. He looked like a complete buffoon.. Has he ever read a book before? has he ever heard of the civil rights movement? to think of the sacrifices that were made .. The life of martin luther king for one.. So that A**holes like camron could be a voice of black youth.. If anyone's an "uncle tom" stop snitchin advocates are it... They are promoting death and violence in our own community for the benifit of the white conservative upperclass...

You know what, this is the further destruction of the black community at it's finest. If we just simply cannot do one another in by shooing each other, then we'll do one another in by shooting them for being a witness or a victim. Does anyone know a damn thing about the original intent of stop snitchin'? it was because the system had it's corruption. It was when men were beaten and lynched just for being black. It was when a cop pulled a black man over for a crime and simply said, "you'll do." if someone shot cam'ron's mother, he would be sure to snitch, especially if he was there. So now what, are our minds that far gone that we can let murders, rapists, and the very people who are partaking in the destruction of the black community go? the law needs to get tough on people who threaten witnesses to an investigation. I am a friend of several prosecutors - their stance on this is if you shot or threatened a witness or victim in an investigation, you would be found as an accessory to murder, and then prosecution should push for the highest possible penalty - or give that person the same length of time that they give the criminal. That could easily be life in prison. Would you want to spend the rest of your life in prison because of a self-destructive sales pitch? watevernicca - so, i ask the same question to you - if someone shot your mother, would you snitch? would you rat? if someone raped your daughter or your sister, would you become an informant to find justice? black people need to start act

As a teacher in a rural community, my students truly think this is "real". They honestly do not know what real is. Real is the man/woman that goes to work daily provide for their family, is active in the community and loves the lord. That is what is "real." i pray that one day all will understand what being real is.

Once again the media has used a so called brother to speak for the community. Camron has no clue as to what 'ethics' are about. I am sure most of the 60 minute viewers were laughing their heads off at that one comment. Yes he's a millionaire because the company he works for sees to that. Yes, he drives 'hot' cars, because the company he works for provides him with necessities befitting his weak image. What is camron really promoting? is he proving how powerful he is by wearing pink and wathcing to see how many young black men will wear pink because he wore pink? i wonder what his company is saying today after hearing him call them stupid. How arrogant to bite the hand that provides for your bling. You spitting poison and it's killing your own children.

Everyone seems to think cam'ron is dumb for opening his mouth. He didn't go into hiphop because he's a brain surgeon. But at least he's being honest. He makes a ton of money by promoting a lifestyle that gets the young killed and murders go free. You buy into it, so do you.

This "snitchin'" code is made up by a bunch of smart criminals to convince their victims to continue to be victimized. Dumb-sh*t morons don't snitch, because some other dumb-sh*t moron will give them street cred for not snitchin. Wow, what a bunch of F*ck*ng idiots.

Im gonna take all the tracks by these hiphop criminals and post them online. That way, anyone can get them for free. Since all of the morons who like hiphop dont care about crime, everyone will be in favor of that, since i am just trying to get the message out. Plus it will provide an important lessons for these street guys who make money telling everyone else to be a criminal.

I wonder what these rappers would be doing if the whites who hated slavery "didn't snitch", or when a slave owner lynched or rapped their slaves, and again, the white aborlishionists just kept quite? the prision system, some cops, and sometimes justice are bad solutions. However the only way that we moved forward as a society is my noting when things are bad or wrong and try to correct them. "stop snitchin" simply puts those who do not have a voice and are forced to live in fear under the chains of another master. Read your history books. Only when you become more informed you can cast off your mental chains. If you do dirt, don't claim that it is irrisponsible for someone to rat you out. Live life on the straight and narrow and you have nothing to worry about. Snitch, squeel, rat.....

Has anyone seen paid in full? toward the end of the money cameron character is arrested and agrees to snitch on some for a lighter sentence and at the end of all of that he said that when comes home he would still be the king.

I wanted to say two things regarding the "stop snitching" anti-rap phenomenon. First off, rap music is an art form, that is not a debatable fact. You may argue that a portion of rap referred to as "gangsta rap" is poor art, or ill conceived art, but it's still art nonetheless. The concepts found in hardcore rap may be insulting to some people, the same way that the concepts of desperate housewives (adultery, unprotected sex, murder, etc.) may be to others. Once we start regulating what's to be released to the public for their opinion of what's acceptable, we open a pandora's box that's impossible to close. There are many groups in america i find immoral and disgusting but i do believe in their right to exist. Rappers aren't breaking any laws by writing words on paper and speaking them into a microphone. The biggest aspect that anti-rap america is missing is that they are fueling the fire. Every time oprah or o"reily or cooper tells us what scumbags these rappers are, the more children and disenchanted youth feel close to them. The inner city youth gravitate to what they are feeling themselves which is ignored, judged, misunderstood and frustrated. What america doesn't understand is that by portraying these rappers as bad people, they are only adding to their legend. If you'd like to cure the "problem" of rap music, completely ignore it and kids will find more obvious villans to attach themselves to as a cry for help. If you care to place blame, place blame on the parents, the failure of the syst

Em and the lack of education and opportunity that surrounds the inner-city. Pointing the finger at someone who's name is "killa cam" and drives a pink lamborghini is the same lazy blame game that has gotten america in these situations in the first place. If these children (who eventually grow into men who turn to crime) ever had someone to educate them that music is never a place to look for role models or morals, the majority of these problems wouldn't exist. To hold rap music even partly responsible for this trend is lazy, unintelligent and irresponsible. -zachary

Once again--the media has done a great job of filtering the population to find one of the least qualified dudes in hip-hop to echo what is supposed to be the voice of the people. It's great that now when u think of police non-compliance, witness intimidation, and its place in pop culture--we will immediately think of cam'ron...thank u cbs (constant bull $#it)

This is a prime example of how people give rappers too much power or idolization. Since when does he become representation of of all of those people running the streets. He cannot and will not speak for me. Oh and cam'ron please think about the question before answering it :o. (take your time sugar)

Really, whats the big deal? this isn't just an issue from todays generation. Ever since you were little they told you 'not to tattle'. When you got older police was always last resort. Nowadays, especially for rappers, atheletes, and celebs it is pretty much the same ol'. Granted, cam's example was outrageous, but i feel him though. It is hard for a young black person, male or female, to approach law enforcement because of fear of retaliation or even to avoid incrimination of themselves. Overall, i think this was a big publicity stunt and cam's gonna go plat again... Dipset

I think cam is right for some reason the mafia or italians can do this in real life and on t.v and america loves it and feels it's entertaining and when a black person does it it's wrong u need to check yourself america

Finally someone who doesn't snitch and actually follows the code of the street. Isn't that what rappers right about and then they cooperate with them wow since when was snitching good? but you should snitch i guess if there's a rapist next door to you or a child molester that's ok but if you live by the code of the streets and you hustlin you shouldn't rat someone out because you F*cked up because you got caught or made a mistake you don't snitch to lesson your time harlem stand up for your man camron someone who living it not just writing it

Im against the stop snitching to. If you will snitch on someone in the streets you will snitch on your friends.

It's not just hip hop it is a movement. This came directly from a school website, which pretty much perpetuates the same myth. " if your child get's a reputation as a stool pigeon, he won't be very popular, both teachers and children may shun him" teach tattlers better ways to solve problems, get attention when toddlers tattle, they do it just to report the events of a day. But when elementary-age children tattle, it’s more serious. They do it to get attention. Or they want to get another child in trouble. It’s more than just irritating. Such tattling can have long-term consequences. If your child gets a reputation as a stool pigeon, he won’t be very popular both teachers and children might shun him. And they won’t pay attention to him when there is a real problem. Explain what tattling is. It’s informing on others to tear them down. It’s not done out of kindness or concern. Explain the difference between tattling and reporting important information. Say you want your child to tell you if another child is hurt or in trouble. You want to know if your child is scared or upset. Discuss the problems snitching on others can cause. Don’t give your child special attention. If it appears your child is tattling to get noticed, say something like - "telling on other kids isn’t a good way to get my attention. Let’s think of some better ways." teach your child how to solve the problem himself. Children sometimes tattle to get an adult to solve a problem. Ask your child what he might do the change the situat

Snithing is for sure wrong to do when its not your time to step in. Cam'ron is cam'ron he says what he says if people didn't stay true to who they were they would be like everyone else. Certain people have their own morales they live by what they believe is write. If this crazy ngga will take a bullet just to keep his stuff, and not go to the cops for help. Why would anyone be suprised if he says this. Everyone lives and dies by their words.

Maybe if apple would drop the racist, sexist n-word, h-word crap off itunes, maybe if people would delete these "songs" from their ipods. Then maybe, just maybe these "artists" would wake up when their money stops flowin' in to rent their hos and buy their bling. These "rap artists"are supressing their neighbors to keep them "in the hood" - to keep them down, workin' as their hos and dealing drugs to them. It's time to stop Bia'chin' about whites and slavery and all that - 'cause at this point now you are doing it to yourselves and need to take responsibility for screwing your own "community". Maybe rev. Jesse and al can guide you...

Ok cam has once again proven to not be the most intelligent artist in hip hop...is he even a rapper still... Since when is sounding like a baby gangsta...googly googly..dipset...i think the news people know what they are doing when they get him to come on the show...
Posted by Block718410
Cam is just wanting a lil attention folks. His career is suffering and as a last minute attempt to salvage his career, he pulls this stunt. As my man flava flav said, "dont believe the hype". Cam knows good n well he would sing louder than a mockingbird if he got hemmed up by 5-0. Hes done it b4, so why is he lying now? remember you are just as wrong as the person that committed the crime if you dont report it. But in the end, be sure to cya, because 5-0 definately wont!!

First of all, why would cbs interview a rapper like cam'rofn? if they wanted to interview a rapper that is well respected in the hiphop community then they should have interviewed someone like chuck d, ice t, ll cool j, queen latif, common or even jayz or nas. Someone that has a set of brains and knows how to put together a statement that doesn't make him look like an ignorant negro. His statement was completely ass-a-nine! his statement basically said that it was ok for someone to go out and commit a retaliation murder. If you witness a murder and you know who did it and you don't report that info to the cops, the day may come when that same murderer murders the person in your family you love the most. Then how would you feel knowing that you had a chance to stop that person after the murder you witnessed before hand? in the black community we always talk about all the crime that goes on, but we won't even take the correct steps to eliminate the crime elements. All because we don't want someone to call us names, or we go along with the flow to look cool or claim that we up in da game. Cam'ron said that's just the way he was raised. Would it be ok for him to make that same claim if he were a child rapist? we have all types of hiphop music, but what gets the most airtime...gangsta. Perhaps one day people will wake up and see the effects gangsta lyrics have on children in the black community. But to take a stand against it means you gotta grow some balls!

This guy is a moron....and for cbs to even waste time on him is ridiclous!...i'm sickened and definately will not be watching! he is like those people that don't buckle up thier kids in thier cars and then when something happens they cry "woas me"

If a black commits a crime, then a black will not snitch. If a white commits a crime, then a black would snitch and snitch and snitch! do not be fooled about where the real racism thrives!

Posted by boywonder
Everyone calling cam a dumbass and stupid for makikng those comments are just ignorant. First of all this whole topic was bullsh*t because it was a way to place blame on virginia tech shooting. Besides that, not talking to the police is something that has been institutionalized in the black community because of lack of faith the police to help us out. Police have always looked the other way about certain issues and are always quick to be on some racist bullsh*t with pulling people over and stoppin em for no reason. What about the people getting killed for snitchin? police dont even help the people that come forward to help. The whole interview was bias against him and i bet a lot of what he said to the guy interviewing him was left out. I say let the n*gga cam speek his mind and his outlook on police. I believe in handling things on your own sometimes and not getting the police involved too. White people wanna always get upset when they hear black people speak out about the police or other sh*t, but dont care about us or want to help out our situations or even care about our treatment. I feel cam but feel that he really didn't get to say more on his look.

When i was a nyc cop i got paid the same no matter how many rappers killed each other. I used to laugh when witnesses refused to cooperate; none of us gave a damn about how many illiterate, rabid, sub-human parasites killed each other. Not reporting crime made my shift easier and it made my precinct c.o. Look great at compstat. Neighborhoods get the society they invest in. A community that despises its police better learn to tolerate the criminal elements depredations.

Cam be sayin some off the wall stuff sometimes but he is right on that code of etchics sh*t...but anywho-"catch a snitch,blast a snitch"-words from the great flizle..(ha ha ha ha)

Why the f*** would they put cam on the air to speak on the "code of ethics"?!?!? not 2 play cam' 'cuz i'm a fan of his music, but he's not that bright! u see how the system is? they put an ignorant minority on the subject just to put a depth of negativity on our hip hop culture! if cbs was try'n to get some real info on the "stop snitchin' rule, they should've politic'd with artists as styles p, nas, talib kweli, mos def, dead prez, guru from gang starr, jay z, or other artists with an intellectual state of mind. Even papoose! they should've just settled 4 40 cent (50 cent b4 he dropped a dime to cops; ah-haah!) since he is true snitch on the street life. At least 40 cent is somewhat smart. All these political mawf***as always try 2 bring our community down. Just think of the show "i love new york". That's there way of portray'n the "average black female". F*** the authority because u can't trust them neither. Most of them are crooked cops, so how do you expect to turn to a crook 4 help? *oh yeah* they're more concern with lock'n brothas up then find'n the real solution to the situation. Thanks cam. Now u fell in the media's trap. Damn shame.

“if i knew the serial killer was living next door to me? i wouldn’t call and tell anybody on him -- but i’d probably move … but i’m not going to call and be like, ‘the serial killer's in 4e.’”...........right there kids, thats called being an ignorant idiot...instead of having 2, 4, or even 33 people killed why wouldnt you jus call the cops n tell him you kno a serial killer lives next door..havent you ppl learned from virginia tech and other massacres like that...that sh*t doesnt need to happen and people need to stop being ignorant...camron is by far one of the biggest idiots out there..i watched his debate against bill o'reily and he made himself and our culture look like fools. Thank god dame dash was there to hold him down...
Posted by Unsignedhype
Nah, y'all are dumb. Why would you turn to the cops who are out there pulling people over for the color of their skin, violating the hell out of your rights, and even murdering people. Y'all are just pissed because cam's real, and when something happens he mans up while you call the cops. And how many times do you see some rapist or child mollestor get out of jail after like 2 years or something because of good behavior.
Posted by fucky'all
This is simply criminal thinking. The code of the streets is what is getting these young men and women gunned down in the streets, addicted to substances, and destroying families. I hope for all our sakes rationality and logic will greatly dwarf this stinking thinking.

The only reason he didnt snitch on who shot him is cuz he knew it would then escalate the situation and every mutha F*cka in new york would be after him... But if theres a serial killer next door, and u dont let the police know, then u are hella stupid cuz they might just get u next!

I think that the black community puts too much stock in the g-code or trying to stay street. That's the reason that you see so many dumb a** millionaires getting in trouble like they still live in the hood. People may hate 50 for whatever reason, but he said it best, nobody in the hood wants to be there. Nobody in their right mind want to live check to check, see their mother struggle or stand on the block hustling for the rest of their life. Why should anyone be allowed to get away with a crime just because they live in the hood? wrong is wrong.

The stop snitchin thing is so out of control that a son, husband, father and friend has died in vein and no one will come forward. I love busta as an artist, but i really don't understand why not one person has come forward. That man died for nothing. Oh yeah, cam'ron is retarded!!!!

Cam was just tellin everyone that he is loyal and he wouldn't snitch but everybody needs to slow there role because its not that serious!!!!
Posted by seven
What is the big deal?? i honestly didn't think cam came off sounding all that ignorant. While his statements may not have been that well thought out or expressed, he was just being honest. I'm a 31 y/o professional college educated black female with a six-figure income and a million dollar home, but i'm from the hood and a lot of the time that's exactly where you'll find me. I know and am cool with everyone from prime ministers and nobel prize winners to dboys on the corners, neighborhood crackheads and the dude who actually run things. Even though i'm educated and have grown as an individual, i know that any situation that pops of in the hood or having to do with anybody out there will be handled in the hood. Most of that stuff is personal and it would not cross my mind to talk to the police. It sounds bad but it's true and unfortunately, in certian places, not snitchin' is the best/only way to survive. That said, i'm sure there are times i'd talk to/cooperate with the police but i'm smart enough to know when to keep my mouth shut.

I think its not cam' ron, its the hood that forces that line of conduct...i mean, it aint really his business if the person next door is a serial killer, he'll eventually get caught....and there is no reason to talk to the police unless you're a cop.....stop snitchin
Posted by DipsetAllDay
I respect cams' point of view on this one...the whole snitching thing is blown way out of proportion first of all..to me its only snitching if you're not directly being harmed....like cam said if he was living next door to the shooter just move away and let the proper authorities handle it...snitching on the wrong person makes you a target its sad but its reality........dipset all day!!!

Why have blacks in america become so stupid? is this the reason so many civil rights activists lost their lives to secure black freedom? i wish mlk and all those activists had saved there breath and their lives because the handful of sensible blacks living in america is pretty limited. Everyday these morons murder one another for frivolous reason ex: he looked at me wrong. When will blacks wake up and see they are only make up 13% of the population and commit 50% of the crimes. I guess you are saying,what does this have to do with snitching? it has a lot to do with it. When has it been acceptable to kill someone? and on top of that know who did it and keep your mouth closed. All i can say is remember the golden rule and karma is real. Can you blame police when they harass you or even whites for not liking you. How can you like people with such low morals, "stop snitching", and the sad thing is the people that push these slogan are so-called snitches themselves. I guess it's that stupid durag that is squeezing these morons brains or the stupid gold arounf their neck thats squeezing their neck. Whatever the case is, chances are if you are black and you don't make use of your life, you have two options: jail or 6 feet under, you idiots choose. And i am proud to be black, just not black in this country where these A**holes make decent people like me look bad.
