So the people black lives matter are protesting for (Floyd, Arbury, Garner, Taylor, Rice etc), were armed gang bangers from Chicago caught red-handed during a shootout?
I’m confused.
If you really are confused, it's because you cherry pick a few incidents, and ignore the context of race relations in the U.S. Every year, a handful of blacks are killed by police, usually while resisting arrest. And thousands of blacks (and a great many whites and Asians) are murdered by blacks every year.
Ironically, whites care more about black lives than do blacks.

How do you know? I was the victim of a black-on-white hate crime in Queens, many years ago. A group of black "youths" followed me late at night. I was walking. They were driving alongside me, keeping pace with me. I thought I was about to be robbed or worse. But instead they shouted a racial slur at me, and drove off.
If a group of whites intimidate a lone black man at night, and use the N-word, that's registered by police, the FBI, the ADL, as a hate crime. If it happens in reverse, the incident is ignored. The white is merely relieved he wasn't murdered.

It is unfortunate, and stupidity exists in every people. Now crime is based on opportunity. I was nearly assaulted by white-Americans for speaking a foreign language, (and I’m white passing) and told I was not in my country, do I think all white-Americans are ignorant and bigots? It would be sad if I did, it yeah it gave me a reality check on race relations in this country and the hitler-like breakdown of sub-groups of whites or not exactly whites, or not white yet etc... so yeah I feel for black people, when even I am being rejected by white Americans and the I my “white” friends i have are those with what Americans call “some ethnicity”, or born in “not-really-white” countries.
Asians may be afflicted with anti blackness, but it’s merely a shallow consensus. In this country they express these feelings just to feel better about themselves within the backdrop of white supremacy.
Btw, most blacks are middle class and up. These disingenuous musings here about whites wanting good for blacks etc. are racist deflections. Not based in reality.
Nope, when I say leftist, I mean leftist. You’re just one of those “every one is racist” people. Doesn’t work on me, sorry.
Every one is a racist? Come on man, really? Even you don’t believe that.
I’m not trying to slyly change your world view. When I communicate like this, I do it as one veteran to another. I don’t care about “tricking you”. I realize attempts to realign people who have jumped out of airplanes (as I have) is a fleeting endeavor.
Everything is racist, we get it. Most of us saw the progression of language articulation that started to pick up steam around 2013-2014. You can search my prior posts where I predicted the coming usage of "white supremacy" long before it became the mainstream way to label everything as racist.
The only one I didn't predict was using Nazi to mean actual Nazi's. Who could've seen that one coming? I mean, I really figured that even the left would be intelligent enough to know that actual Nazi's are long gone. Lesson learned: there's no boundary of insanity that the left won't cross.

back in 2017
In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015 in which nine African Americans were killed efforts were made across the country to remove Confederate monuments from public spaces and rename streets honoring notable figures from the Confederacy.
While often successful, these efforts faced a backlash from people concerned about protecting their Confederate heritage. The August 11–12 Unite the Right rally was organized by Charlottesville native Jason Kessler to protest the Charlottesville City Council's decision to remove the Robert E. Lee statue honoring the Confederate general, as well as the renaming of the statue's eponymous park (renamed to Emancipation Park in June 2017, and again to Market Street Park in 2018)
On May 13, 2017, white supremacist Richard Spencer led a nighttime rally in Charlottesville to protest the city's plans to remove the statue of Lee. The event involved over 100 protesters, from various alt-right groups from around the country, chanting "Jews will not replace us!"and "Russia is our friend!" while holding lit torches near the statue, a spectacle which many Charlottesville residents found intimidating, and which the mayor denounced as a "harken[ing] back to the days of the KKK."[53][54] The next night, hundreds of anti-racist Charlottesville residents held a candlelight counterprotest in response.[55] Throughout the spring of 2017, tensions mounted as neo-Confederate and alt-right groups' sporadic gatherings in Charlottesville's downtown parks and pedestrian mall were confronted by anti-racist activists, resulting in occasional scuffles and some arrests.[56][57][58] On July 8, 2017, the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a group from Pelham, North Carolina, held a rally at the Stonewall Jackson statue in Charlottesville.
Among the far-right groups engaged in organizing the march were the Stormer Book Clubs (SBCs) of the neo-Nazi news website The Daily Stormer,[64] The Right Stuff,[65] the National Policy Institute,[66] and four groups that form the Nationalist Front:[60] the neo-Confederate League of the South and Identity Dixie,the neo-Nazi groups Traditionalist Worker Party,[67][68] Vanguard America,[67] and the National Socialist Movement.[60] Other groups involved in the rally were the Ku Klux Klan (specifically the Loyal White Knights and the Confederate White Knights branches),[21][69] the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights, the American Identitarian group Identity Evropa,[70] the Southern California-based fight club Rise Above Movement,[71][72] the American Guard,[19] the Detroit Right Wings – misappropriating the name of the Detroit Red Wings NHL team, which usage was condemned by the team,[73][74] True Cascadia, the Canada-based ARM (Alt-Right Montreal) and Hammer Brothers,[76] and Anti-Communist Action.

Police have arrested a man on suspicion of second-degree murder after a car was rammed into anti fascist protesters at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A 32-year-old woman was killed when a car rammed into a group of counter-protesters at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, police have confirmed.
Horror footage has emerged online of the moments after the car smashed into people.
Early reports have said there are many with serious injuries.
You know how white Americans living in the most diverse place on earth just can’t seem to tolerate any foreign language. It drives them to insanity.
We need to do something about these roving packs of white supremacists that you see lurking around every corner.
The most diverse place on earth?
1- outside of NYC and certain major cities it is NOT that diverse.
2 - who said it happened in a diverse place in America?
3 - you remind me of non-blacks who wanna pretend to speak for blacks like “come on guys, you do NOT experience discrimination”, and that’s what’s amazing with people like you, you don’t know anything but wanna preach everything.
Not racism, but self-defense. Whites don't hate black. But we're increasingly weary of being blamed for black failure and discontent.
Whites don't wish ill on blacks. Whites desperately want blacks to succeed. I mean, we desperately want blacks to succeed. To do well in school, advance in their careers, become productive citizens, with intact families, and avoid a life of crime and drugs. We don't want to live in fear of black crime and hate.
This is why so many whites voted for Obama. Whites desperately want to see a post-racial, color blind society, where race doesn't matter.
But despite 55 years of spending trillions of dollars on blacks, plus affirmative action, positive portrayals in the media, and tons of white goodwill, black crime remains rampant, the cities are burning, and we're told that it's all our fault. For all we've done, it's not enough. Our very "whiteness," our very existence, is to blame.
Can you appreciate how frustrated, unappreciated, and bewildered whites feel?
The only failures of American blacks is how they can't climb out of their vicious cycle of blaming others and never themselves. Every other cultures including blacks from other countries support self-reliance and responsibility for ones actions. I believe if every black American families were given a million dollars they would still live eventually lose all that money and fall back to poverty unless they were given a million dollars every few years. Because they have been groomed to depend on white people. They need white people for jobs they need them to put food on the table.
You ask Asians and Latinos, they don't need white people. They rather have their own businesses and they can depend on their own community. There are two kinds of blacks out there, those that admit that black communities can never be like other cultures and support their own community and the other one that blames white America for keeping them out of opportunities.
