I just saw a picture (on CBS Sunday Morning) of two whites on top of an overturned police car, and one of them wearing a facemask and carrying an AR-15, with a pistol on his waist. (not sure the state) and that is another example of white privilege during a riot.

The white punk thinks he is exercising his 2A rights, while a black punk who wants to riot knows if he is carrying an AR-15 he is likely to be shot and killed for it. Just another example in this country of who truly has "rights" when it comes to the 2A. (Again, if you're stupid enough to take part in a riot while waving a gun around, you pretty much deserve it if you are perceived a threat to police and are shot because of it)

Odd that we still have racists calling for segregation, but here we are.

My solution to problems is always becoming stronger than you currently are, whether it be in regards to knowledge, health, economics, physical, etc. That is always the first sphere of influence. As such, a way for blacks to grow stronger is through unity and consciousness. Blacks embracing, supporting, loving and lifting up other blacks....strengthen blacks.

I don't think people really know what it will look like if blacks actually "solve their own problems" as a people, like we are often told. It will look like racism and blacks discriminating to favor blacks. Blacks cannot solve black problems....without being racist (in the eyes of whites who will see blacks targeting other blacks for favor as racist).

Blacks will never be able to win in the eyes of many whites. Regardless of what path we take to promote our socioeconomic parity and uplift, whites will find offence and attempt to discredit it.

Quite a stretch. Again, perceived racism. What if that white punk is married to a black woman and has mixed kids and is a socialist liberal? What if he graduated from Berkeley and secretly is a member of Antifa? What if he's also Moroccan? What if he's leader of the local BLM movement?
Would you still feel the same way?

You have no available balance on the race card.

It has been declined, cut in half and the maitre d is demanding an alternate form of payment.

Sorry....the bank that issues the card is black owned. We know that white owned banks have been attempting to close our accounts. That is why it is important for communities to have their own banks.

I disagree. Most of us don't think blacks have black problems. Only a few race baiters out there are beating that drum. If you turn off the media, you will find that most people are living their lives, having babies, going to work, and paying their rents, spending time with their kids, and feeding their pets.

Regardless of the levels of their pigments.

Of course, if you start to direct your attention to a portion of the population that is on government subsidies, welfare, is under-educated, etc, and that's where you choose to focus your attention, you're going to find trouble in those segments of the population.

I ask you this... in those segments, who holds the power?

If there were no whites protesting along with blacks, we’d have SOME people complain how whites don’t care about a black man being murdered in cold blood by a white cop. Now that there ARE whites protesting, we have at least one person complaining that they want whites to butt out of their business.

Note: This applies only to actual protestors. The rioters acting like savages should all be arrested.

All this mayhem, in the end, is going to be rooted and blamed on blacks having the inferior mentality of “the victim”. Sure, blacks looted, we will own our bad actors for that. However, all the other mayhem here is coming from whites. Black protest usually burn out after the 3rd night following a police incident. This mayhem, here, is being fueled by whites.

Let us speak and demonstrate for ourselves!
No, they're not.

How do you know what most people think? If that is what most of you think, then most of you are just uneducated about the black experience in America. Ignorance can be the root of racism as much as, if not more than, hate. Why don't you spend some time LEARNING about the black experience.....instead of playing an expert on it on TV?
