My deepest sympathy goes to you and everyone involved.

[debo]

yea ur right it was a white boy, nobody cares bout u

[Jason Watkins]

If a black boy was killed in Bessemer we would hear about it as well you unrealistic prick. A family is greaving the loss of their child and you have to come here and place the race card. Get that chip off your shoulder, because that family owes you nothing.

[doesnt matter]

he wasn't killed, he died.

[Amanda]

D.J and I were always close friends growing up,I still go and visit his grave.I miss him so much. He wasn't killed instantly,he died at the scene.

yeah your right because all of you blacks in bessmer aren't anything but a bunch of trash.

[noneya]

blacks that say things such as that are the reason people ARE racist and always will be. I don't believe there is ANYTHING wrong with being racist when you continue to act the way most of you do! We owe you nothing! Your ancestors who were enslaved are dead and gone as are our ancestors who enslaved them.

If you're too lazy to make something of yourself, white or black, or mexican or chinese, then the easiest thing you can do is continually play the race card and blame your unsuccessful lives on the fact that you're "insert race here"

get over it.

[Amanda]

Thank you so much for saying what I wanted to say! It's time for us to stick together just like all of the other races are. This world would be so much better if EVERYONE would just stop and look around them and see what would be of them if they didn't live in the USA. BE HAPPY that you're here and if you can't do that then take a trip back to your "HOME" country. I'm sure that you will come back a CHANGED person.

This family is just comimg up on one year after their loss. It's just about 72 hours after my 22yr. old nephew lost his life in a car wreck and have to guess that it's no less painful today for them than the searing pain my heart feels just after the fact. I pray the Lord blesses them on that anniversary and soothes their hearts. Oh! And yes, we do care about him and his family. Have respect for that family if your human at all.

Drennen Dj's brother is my best friend. They are the greatest!His family is nice but, making smart comments like debo is horrible.

[town]

Drennen Dj's brother is my best friend. they are great people. but making comments like "debo" is disrespectiful.

[Paulding]

DJ was a good friend and I played football with him in high school and he was a good football player. I really miss you so much and so does everybody else. You will never be forgotten.

[nikki]

who cares what race we are you serious your goin to judge him cause hes white im mexican and if some one was to ever say something about my family in a rasict way i would get mad the 1 thing i dont understand is how are you going to say "oh hes a white boy nobody cares" what would you do if some one said that about some one you loved to death they might not be white but you get the idea anyways have some respect for this boy i dont now him but it jsut breaks my heart that we havnt cleared all of the racism..well r.i.p debo and bless the family of debos...

[Alexander]

Shameful conduct for Debo for writing such disrespsctful comments during a families time in tragedy. And also for Amanda and NE.for writing their distasteful comments about BLACKS and OTHERS. It really says alot about the kind of people you truly are. I wonder if DJ was looking down on you with SHAME when you wrote that comment AMANDA. One stupid person comments and you want to take it out on everyone(race) associated with that person. And for the record there is one race and that s the (HUMAN RACE). IDIOTS GET IT TOGETHER. Even though I didn't know you rest in peace DJ. Suppose to be condolences not a DAMN FORUM on RACE RELATIONS
