Saying BLM is implying that somehow white people don't think that they do matter. BLM is a hugely racist and offensive slogan

Implying? That's directly saying white people don't think they matter. That's true of some white people and you KNOW IT, without even taking matters with the police into consideration.

Some blacks are some of the worst racists, so Racism has very little to do with race, but it has to do with politicizing the matter, and trying to incinerate the society.

So stop feeding fuel to the fire. We are the most tolerant society in the world. You want to see discrimination? Go to Europe.
You contradict yourself. You claimed you would feel threatened if a Black teenager approached your daughter, just because said man was wearing a hoody.

Those are your words.

And now you try to say otherwise. There's are other adjectives you can apply to yourself. If being called a racist pains you so much, how about being called a hypocrite? A liar?

Back to Trump. Trump entertains people. He is an entertainer. Issues and their consequences which are complicated are instead oversimplified for entertainment value. It all comes down to him running for entertainer and chief.

How many Trump supporters as New Yorkers would be comfortable with a Arch Conservative like Cruz as President ?

Thank you. No politician will be able to do anything about race anyway. Whoever can create the highest paying jobs while keeping inflation at bay will do the best on race relations. To me, that is definitely not the democratic party.

I like Cruz, but wouldn't vote for him because if need be, he might let us all burn for his beliefs. But I wouldn't vote for an aristocrat either. They'll be someone else on the ballot that no one has ever heard of that I'll click on that day.

so now we're supposed to accuse all whites of not valuing blacks because "some" do not? Yeah that's not a definition of prejudice all or anything lol

Like I said, the whole "Black Lives Matters" slogan is extremely racist and offensive

Your point is noted and appreciated. One can feel that way about the BLM label and not be racist. The name they chose was meant to be provocative. It was meant to provoke a debate about what the hell they are talking about and why. One can disagreewith good arguments and respect. Used to be debates in the US on issues could do that but with the Trump and other hyper conservatives since the Tea Party has diminished decorum. People of good will no longer talk to each other. Talking points and not ideas are the entire party plank now.
