Wow your so cool. But notice young man where you fail. The men who migrated north from subsaharan Africa to the coast and to Europe and those to the west in Asia established civilization and technology beyond belief. While in Africa there was neither the invention of the wheel or the sail let alone vast civilization . In other words, the ones who stayed lived the way they lived for thousands of years before. Doesn't really say much now does it?

OK, why do you think investors WON'T invest in those areas?

Why do you think insurance is high there?

YOU do the "math"!

And I agree with your other post, contrary to what people my assume on here I don't think shooting and attacking LEO's is the solution.
The solution is STOP COMMITTING CRIMES...and when asked to put up your hands....do it. There ya go! Problem solved.

Cycle of Insurgency: What does Milwaukee mean? – The Fifth Column

This idea falls entirely in the lap of law enforcement and those who control law enforcement. Over and over we have seen officers lie and get away with it. When one is fired we see those pulling the strings reinstate them.

This is only going to get worse until we decide that no one is above the law.
Over and over we have seen officers ACCUSED then later after the investigations and court trials we see them found NOT GUILTY.

"that no one is above the law." The rioters SHOULD be charged and taken to court.

Those inciting the "protesters" should be charged with "inciting a riot". No one should be above the law.

I don't perceive people who loot, destroy personal property, and murder police and are influenced by the BLM "movement" really give a damn about "police reform".

You and others can proclaim over and over BLM isn't inciting people into doing these horrific things until blue in the face. I think they are. Your denial doesn't make your statement true.

Civilized people don't act this way. This is what we are dealing with in this country now.

The problem with that is not because they are not guilty. Once again, the officers in the Tamir Rice case LIED. They lied. What was done? Nothing.

Those who break the law and are caught are charged. They are charged. Once again, they are charged. A cop does something and they get the system to cover for them.

Civil disobedience is something that the founders understood had to be allowed to flourish where need be.

It's why we got so many of our rights protected.

Go out there and ask why they are rioting. You probably will hear them say something about law enforcement and police being able to shoot and kill black people because they are scared or they are ego tripping.

Just because you write something doesn't make it true.

Without reform the answer will be violence in return. It's how the United States was founded.
