We have no control over what happens in Africa or in Muslim countries. If you're so concerned about what's happening over there, hop a flight. You can be there in just hours.
"You people"? I have 4 university degrees. And you? In retirement I make significantly more than the American average. And you?
I do treat people how I see them, but I'm not sure you should want that.
Right... and I'm Warren Buffett. If you were really as highly educated as you claim you are, you wouldn't be blaming today's whites for slavery more than a century and a half ago. You would be able to do the math and figure out that aint no one alive today that had anything to do with slavery.
As for your "I have no control over Africa and Muslim countries...", I have no control about what happened here 180 years ago before any of my ancestors came to the US... so do I feel sorry for you whiny people who hide behind BLM, today, playing the victim? no, not in the least bit. Get over it. No one owes you reparations.
I treat people how I see them, too. Pull out the race card and you're equal to whatever is stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
"Black Lives Matter" is a racist slogan. For one, it presupposes that somehow whites and others think that the lives of African Americans don't matter to begin with. Well how dare you. If certain members of the African American community believe that they are being mistreated by their local police departments or governments they should take it up with them, not go around lobbing accusations at everyone else.
Well of course black lives matter, so does everyone else's!
Whiney politically correct man can't handle people talking about their own race .

Ahh but you see, this is people (African Americans) talking about other races and lobbing accusations at them.
Next time someone complains about having the N word lobbed at them, according to you they should be labelled "whiney politically correct man"
You have no business issuing blanket statements that other races don't value your lives. It's beyond dumb and no wonder this movement has gotten so much blowback from society.

Where exactly have I blamed "today's whites for slavery more than a century and a half ago". Show me.
racism doesnt stop happening just because you stop talking about it.
Wholeheartedly agree. To use a, perhaps inadequate, analogy, it's similar to Jean Piaget's concept of Object Permanence. This concept describes a phase in an infant's development, it's the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be observed (seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way). Folks familiar with infants will instantly recognize this developmental phase & will also instantly recognize when the infant has learned or acquired the cognitive ability to recognize that objects continue to exist even if you cover them up.
