No one is afraid to say or do anything to black people. They do it all the time, to the extent of calling the police a black child selling lemonade.

Furthermore, this isn’t just about black people. People out there are fed up with injustice period. Then you have other groups with their own agendas out, including white supremacists.

This is the result of the nation that for so long has refused to do what is right.
I don’t have anger against black people. I have anger against certain black people and the liberal whites that use blacks to further their agendas that promotes racial disharmony and hate.

Life was never fair. You cannot legislate unfairness out of society. Basically these Far Leftists and the poor blacks want blacks to be so protected as to protect them from life’s consequences. That’s ridiculous.

Affirmative action, quotas has to be a certain number for blacks, etc. Just about every government program in the last 50 years is geared towards helping blacks.

No other group in U.S history, and probably human history, has ever been treated so preferentially.
How about white men who were allowed to own those black men? They weren’t treated more preferentially? Really? Can you do a deep dive and explain how not even considering that isn’t racist?

Yes, they have received some aid based on race. But it has not nearly been effective enough to consider it an equal opportunity playing field out there. The most basic example being property tax fueled schools. Property tax funded schools are the compound interest of poverty.

How about you try to talk about today, not 200 years ago?

Blacks generally do poorer in academics despite massive spending to help them. You can only do so much to help some people but if they can’t help themselves, it is not because the system is unfair.

no one really cared about kaepernick. it's just that as usual, those that did care, were given the podium and it got blown out of proportion. there's a big difference between a cop killing someone, and a guy kneeling because he got benched.

You do know its 2020 dont you. Do you also know that blacks also owned black slaves, and there were also white slaves. So you really have no argument. Just your opinion.

Blame shifting is not the answer.

I didn't agree with the kneeling at the football games, but it was a peaceful form of protest, and even that outraged the pseudo-conservatives factions.

Being killed by police for jogging, being a forgery suspect and selling loose cigarettes isn`t one of life`s consequences that they should have to be protected from.

So they’ve failed to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and it’s all their fault for any continued race based injustice/lack of opportunity now, is your opinion right?

If you could go back in time and be born as an average black woman, would you? Why not? Feel that people would treat you the same given you are the same “spirit” inside?

Life’s consequences? Consequences for what exactly?

Why was Floyd murdered again?

You know that there are people that predate the ‘64 Civil Rights Act that are like still alive right?

Yep there were some white slaves too. But guess what? That was also disproportionate to demographics....entirely based on race. If only the slavers had been more equal opportunity minded we wouldn’t be in this pickle.
