Reservations are pretty dismal. Would you like what the Establishment gave the Irish settlers, the Chinese , or maybe the Japanese concentration camps?

Tell me, please. Just what is it that you would like from those you view as " us" ?
They were not whining...merely stating facts. Sometimes the facts hurt but you still can't ignore them.

+1.

It's absolutely insane. As others have said, MLK would be ashamed at how they go about this now.

How can anyone justify rolling up on a kid and just shooting him?

Yes Black lives matter. All lives matter but not all lives have to live the life of Blacks. Go ahead I dare you to do some research on the historical treatment of Blacks in the United States. If you really want to get froggy research the treatment of native Americans.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Go get a job. Don't commit crime. Get married and start a family. Go back in history to understand the source. Interrupting a speech doesn't compare to a lynching. Yes Black lives matter... It's about time someone said it out loud...
They don't even treat their own right. Look at the baby mama's who is saddled with kids while baby daddy is off doing someone else. Is he treating his kids as if they matter? How are the kids supposed to feel that their lives matter?

Take care of your own. Be around, raise them, go to work and support them, give a damn about them doing well in school, show your kids you care.

Burning of building would stop, no more rioting and bullying business people would stop. If they got real jobs and stopped following those who want to destroy them, may help a lot. Sometimes people are their own worst enemy!

The problem is they don't realize it and don't want to hear it when someone tells them. For some reason they think bullying others/society through rioting, PC, looting will work. That's the streets... it's how they live and they refuse to understand that others don't live by fear and bullying.

The media isn't helping either, they are putting them on show for entertainment value.

Who said anything about reparations? I just think many need to understand why things are the way they are. People in power destroyed the Black family and now blame what's going on on the Black community? One day I hope equality for all but deep wounds take time to heal. Yet the wounds have to be acknowledged. History is on you tube..

Here we go again. Who is their own? Educate yourself on how the Black family structure for the most part was dismantled. I'm talking about the structure of the two parent homes. You will see the role of the father was basically taken away by society generations ago. How can a family structure survive when a man can't support or protect his family?

The family is set upon and if the man retaliated he could be killed (lynched). What does that do to the family structure? Now as far as jobs and housing well we all know about that. You see there's a reason many Blacks worked for the government or became teachers. When society as a whole wouldn't act right (hire) the federal government steps in. Anyone remember red lining? So before people say the Blacks should______ just understand a bit of history and why things are the way they are.

Once again there's a history of burning and taken to another level bombings. I have Whites in my family who I love dearly so my post are not black verse white. My post are about history and how the sins of the fathers are a direct cause of what's going on in society.

As for getting real jobs have you ever seen the stories about just having the "wrong" name can be a problem? Life can be real simple when you don't have to live it.

Enjoy this little eye opener.

I dont even care that the "black lives matter" boneheads are even around now. But, if they were to disappear overnight, I would probably host a party.
