Slavery was a bad thing, but again no one talks about blacks owning blacks during slavery. Must be hard looking down on the white man from your pedestal.

Also what would be your solution then in this case of systematic racism? Not make it a jury of your piers anymore?

And yet not a peep about how badly the general public, pick a color it doesn't matter which one, behaves.
Should we hold police to a better standard? Yes.
Should we hold the general public to a better standard? Hell yes.

I don’t understand your points? What happened last time we ignored racism from any race? Everyone needs to be held accountable regardless what generation or race. You can’t use racism to defeat racism

Welp you clearly win a few MAGA hats for that one
And I'm not black either but nice that you assumed that.
You clearly don't understand the deeply rooted affects of slavery, systematic racism/oppression, poverty, how the odds are stacked against people in low income communities, etc.... Anyhow have a good day.

Identifying the problem is the first step, and the problem is an intricate one that has to been seen from a historical perspective to understand how we even got here in the first place. I never said use racism to combat racism, but if what is happening right now is what you guys are referring to as racism I don't agree. If you're talking about something else then I don't know what you're referring to. Racism across the board is wrong but to be honest it's impossible to have this kind of convo on here without getting banned. I'll just leave this be.
I'll finish by saying the system does need change and that's why all this is happening.

We need to be smarter than to believe fantastical organizations like Anonymous and Q.

I wouldn't be remotely surprising if it is true. He's such a horrific person to begin with.

There are people out there telling others to stop looting,
https://www.worldstarhiphop.com/vide...8mWS7x1iZ233x9

There are many condemning those looters and people setting buildings on fire.

I would put a "hell" before the yes on your first question as well as the second one.

Not sure how to link a video. If someone can do it I would appreciate it.

Kaepernick takes a knee to protest and white people were calling him Unamerican and should be fired on the spot.

Tommie Smith, John Carlos and Peter Norman were protesting how blacks were being treated in America. All Tommie and John did was raise their fists in the air. White people lost their minds and they had their medals taken away, fined, death threats and kicked out of the games. Peter Norman wore a pin and received death threats.

Lebron and other players wore a "I can't breath t-shirt" before a game and white people were saying they should keep politics out of sports, they should be fined or suspended and people were burning his jersey.

Rosa Parks protested just by sitting in the front of the bus and white people lost their minds.

How about doing it before they start burning down buildings.
This isn't a black or white issue. It's a general population issue in my opinion.
People are all about themselves and don't give two shats about anyone else nowadays.

Mandatory jail minimums are higher for crack cocaine than powder cocaine even though it’s the same drug.

Can you imagine if the tickets for speeding were 10x as expensive if you were driving a Suburu. It would be ridiculous.

As others have said most of these videos come without context. Now with what I have to go on I would say some of these clips are disturbing but most of them appear justified. Order needs to be maintained right now and you are still having people violate curfew and block the police from doing their jobs. They sometimes need to use force in order to protect themselves or get things accomplished. I fully support people's right to protest but there are lines that cannot be crossed when doing so.

My wife and I were up until 4AM waiting for our son to get home from the bar he works at.
This is the picture he sent us. He was worried about leaving for fear of getting attacked. Then he couldn't get to his car as it was parked by the courthouse.
Thankfully he finally made it home safe and luckily no damage to the car.
I'm a tad less sympathetic to the cause today.
I'm betting I'm not the only one.
That's the thing I just don't understand. What happens changes opinions, and not in the direction the protesters stupidly think it does.

You linked it correctly, everything he said was sad but true.

You're confusing criminals/thugs with actual protesters who cared about the real reason behind the protests. People are behaving shitty right now under the veil of protest, those are not people down for the cause.

Dang that's a shame. If I was a millionaire musician or actor and saw that I'd find out who he is and send him some $$$.
$100K is tip money to someone like Russell Simmons but it's life changing for that guy.

That still doesn’t solve anything we just went over. Whites are the majority of crack and cocaine. That doesn’t explain why blacks are being convicted at higher rates

My statement said nothing about your skin color. Anyone can act superior to individuals and that is what my statement was suggesting towards you.
