Wake-up Cupcake! As a white man I am responsible for giving my life for the cause! Are you?
I'm willing to put my body between black people and cops gun's. I'm willing to risk my life attacking a bad cop trying to murder a black person. Are you princess?
This work is about not having to do this work ever again. Everything I have, everything I can get, all my wealth and white power , I will give freely to anyone who asks for it. How about you sweetie?
White power is very effective in a white supremacists nation. I will win or die!
Life is endless, take risks to be love! Be the change !
That part about reparations literally made me LOL! Yeah I'm not gonna go without so some entitlement minded fool can live off my sweat. Never gonna happen.
This insanity.....I can't even comprehend it. It's so hopeless. If even half of all black people did or do think like this...how will we continue living together???? Seriously. It's gonna end up like Sunni vs Shiite or Palestinian vs Israeli.
Utter insanity! The quote that stuck with me was (paraphrasing) "Why should white people come to a BLM rally when THEY are the oppressors"?
So.. this is literally the definition of racism and stereotyping.
Any white person, even one who tries to stand in solidarity with this cause is considered an oppressor automatically.
The SHEER ignorance displayed in this screed is mind boggling!! She talks about "reparations being non-negotiable!"
I have to wonder if the author of this or people who think like she does are aware that 1/3 of the transatlantic slave trade was African kings and rulers who actively participated and profited from it!
I wonder if she is aware that there were many BLACK slave owners in the United States as well.
Then there is the inconvenient fact that not many white people actually owned slaves
Blacks were never close to a majority in America, so it's mathematically impossible for most whites to have owned black slaves. But Hey!! We are ALL oppressors simply by virtue of our skin color.

Was that for socio-economic reasons or ethical reasons?
I do think you can think that black lives matter without supporting Black Lives Matter.
MLK was as great man, a man that doesn't come along very often. He'd be ashamed of what is happening right now with how BLM is handling things... he really would be.
I admire him... he had courage that I couldn't imagine having... truly... to go against the system the way he did and how he did it. Truly admirable.

It's already happening Jack!
They have been living off your sweat since even before their births.
Who do you think pays for their housing, their food, their clothing. their cell phones...their everything?
You do and I do, along with every other typical taxpayer in this Nation.
High time we turn off that welfare spigot...see how they like that reality.

The " writer" of this article is also working on her M.A in Africana Studies . Makes you wonder how much of this hateful mentality was indoctrinated into her by her Universitiy professors.
It's sad when people can be so " formally educated" yet so very ignorant . I wonder if her goal is to become a Professor and spew this hate speech to the next generation .

You're not taking social security and medicade, right? Wouldn't want any of that welfare spigot water getting you wet. Don't want to pay for your retirement and your medications.
