Why don't THE DEATHS IN CHICAGO draw more protesters? Free speech has to be protested against, but DEATH is OK?

The lefties seem to have their priorities significantly f*cked up. /SMH

Actually, since there's no way to verify that number, it could be even higher!

You've truly demonstrated that BOTH blacks & whites were complicit in the slave trade.

Well done.

I don't see how. Which White African tribes captured other Africans and sold them into slavery? List them.

If Africans hadn't captured other Africans and sold them into slavery, African slavery in America wouldn't have happened.

Just like if the drunk driver in this accident had not gotten behind the wheel and driven his car, this accident wouldn't have happened:

That's weird. You kept mentioning experts. I quoted your expert.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. suggests that we

Quote:
...publicly attribute responsibility and culpability where they truly belong, to white people and black people,
on both sides of the Atlantic, complicit alike in one of the greatest evils in the history of civilization.
In that regard, you've been persistent.

Again - good job!

I agree and let's keep it at black america. You can't have a black lives matter where everything is hunkydory. Every group of people have issues. So if blacks demonstrate outrage, it must come from somewhere, it must be addressed and tended to.

Let's not play this, "well, I have never seen it" or the worse one, "it's not all black people". Beech please! Black people call each other out all the time. The one way to get anything done in life is to acknowledge it.

Russians and eastern Europeans wear black leather jackets in the winter same way as black folk are loud and love them some air jordans and rims, as well as mexicans love them some gardening and some tacos. Oh, and the same way Okinawans love them some dark skinned GI...

Love and appreciate the good along with the bad.

Of course, it updates. And of course, there will be MORE shootings. Frankly, I'm stumped as to why Chicago Black on Black KILLINGS aren't being protested, while a political candidate who may not even be elected, is. WTF is wrong with liberals? Politics matters MORE to them than Black LIVES?!? That's DESPICABLE!

Well, this is how I see it. There is alot is anger and distrust between different ethnicities. I'm seeing outrage all over. Some of the bigots attracted to Trump rallies is evidence of this.

Most of those so-called "whites" were Jews.
