This whole “every race has bad apples” completely misses the point. Every race does not constitute 50% of US murders while only being 14% of the US population. We, black people, are the only ones.

That attitude goes so against everything BLM wants people to believe. They will tell you that you're a self hating black, when in reality, you're one of the few that actually gets it.

Yup, you can have all the legislation in the world to make it illegal to even arrest a black person, but if you don’t stop the self-destructive and self-sabotaging behavior, nothing will change.

Asian Americans and African immigrants have shown us it’s possible to proposer through education. Not politicians, looting, rioting, handouts, and reverse racism.

I can't imagine being 92 years old and living in a large urban area like NYC (and yes, I have been to NYC several times). It's obvious from the video she has trouble walking and keeping her balance, she needs to be somewhere much less hectic.

60 years of liberal social policies made this. Boys are feral and need strong men to help raise them. This transcends race. But we live in an age where we can't even define what a "man" and "woman" are.

That's fantastic! I wish every state had this.

I don't discount statistics. However, I have a question. Why do you make it a point to air out every bad thing about Black people to the world? We're already looked down on more than any other group and we have more to deal with. Why do you want to keep telling the rest of the world "we suck"? How does that help Black people? The individuals in the Black population committing all that violent crime don't care.

Your Facebook friends would ostracize you for denouncing a horrendous crime? They don't sound much like friends from my perspective. Perhaps you could widen your circle of friends?

You have repeatedly described yourself as Indian with dark skin. It is unlikely that anyone mistakes you for African-American yet you continually present yourself as black. Why do that?

You have a right to feel like that. But can I ask you how you feel that no race is mentioned? I ask because anytime a white cop kills a black man we hear about race. It's only fair to mention it for things like this.

Or we could not judge every race by its worst actors. Isn’t that what everyone is asking for?

Also shines a light on the race baiters in this forum.
The same applies to all white people not being judged by the actions of a few rogue cops.
