I seriously don't think you care too much about any issue that primarily affects black Americans... So this attitude isn't surprising..

When did I put my foot in my mouth? You're F'n delusional.

We're still waiting on the Black Lives Matter movement to show up and start helping the black community down here, we're still waiting on the Black Panthers to show up and start helping these poor black people. Until then we'll keep taking care of everyone regardless of skin color, because that's just how non-hyphenated Americans are.

You act illogically and unpredictably, you burn your own communities while griping about not having anything, you shoot each other while crying about people getting shot, you blame everyone but yourself for your problems and you fail to understand the root problems in your own communities. You respect no laws and you even kill the police officers who are trying to protect your already fragile communities. You attack those who try to help you, you kill your brothers and sisters over petty arguments and you have the nerve to wonder why other people are concerned with you?
Do you even know any black people? Co-workers? Friends? Neighbors?

Because, yes, there is an inner city hot mess, but you can't go around painting everyone with that brush. My black friends are firefighters, IT experts, medical people, etc.

As much as I could financially and more than most physically, I'm heading back home to Houston tomorrow night but I'll be back on Thursday to pick up where I left off.

I've yet to see a single BLM or Black Panthers member helping anyone here in Baton Rouge, I guess they're all busy burning down another black community or something like that.

How about you? How much did you donate?

I think a better question along those lines -- because it has more actual meaning -- is do you have Black friends and associates that you invite to your home, or whose home you go to?

Who (not names, obviously) are you donating to and helping?

I'm helping various family and friends who live in the affected area, at last count I'm connected in some way to about 38 flooded homes in some way or another. I primarily came to drop off my camper so my sister and her family had a place to sleep while we get her home gutted and ready for repair, there isn't an open hotel room for 50 miles of here and that's just going to get worse.

I brought my trailer/truck bed full of food, clothes, and cleaning supplies with me. About $700 of that came out of my pocket and the rest came from friends and neighbors nearby in Houston. I also donated cash to a local church who has been feeding tons of people since the flood took place.

Would you like to make a donation?

I know quite a few black people, some of the most upstanding people I've ever known are black.

I'm not friends with, associated with, acquaintances with or neighbors with any black person (or any person of any color for that matter) who supports the Black Lives Matter movement. My black friends are engineers, police officers, medical professionals and things like that as well, what's your point?

Much like Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers, I guess my friends have disappeared when reality came around.
