Thank you! I wondered how many of the black race were upset with BLM?

Until 51% of blacks vote Republican or third party, we remain an overall detriment to society, a burden on the general population (due to our collective vote), and an affront to this great nation and the vision of our great Founding Fathers. I am personally thankful that low level blacks thin their own herd so effectively. Same logic as with abortion, which I find abhorrent, but I am thankful for the result at the ballot box.

Are you calling yourself "bad"?

Just earlier today you were talking about how your community is model citizens, excellent students, good employees (all true, BTW), so why are you now accepting the cloak of "bad"?

I'm technically Indian (dot not feather) but my skin is darker than most American Blacks. I get mistaken for Black sometimes and that's what embarrasses me about BLM that people would associate me with such an organization. I do know a couple of Blacks that were raised upper middle class and one of them feels the same way as me and the other one supports BLM.

Yes.

It's not just criminals getting killed and being affected. Innocent people in those communities are being terrorized as well. And it's a terrible reality that so many inner cities in our country are so unlivable and that so many children have to grow up around that. We know the cycle will keep repeating itself and it should be a national disgrace, and yet we keep allowing it to happen.

Doesn't help that we have a disingenuous media that props up the gangbanger lifestyle and treats the violent people in that community with kid gloves or ignores them completely. And then has the nerve to act like cops are the main problem.

It's very sad.

What can we do as a Society to help? If they won't help themselves??

There's racists on both sides. I've seen plenty of black racists and plenty of white racists.

I'm very big on Children. Nothing worse then seeing innocent children being murdered. Innocence lost for what?? I cry for all children. It doesn't matter what color they may be.

When You lose a child, you never come back from it. Especially to violence.


ALL LIVES MATTER...

When you work in the Medical Field - you tell me any different. I will try and save all.

I met a guy and he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and he looked Hawaiian. He later admitted that he was Indian and he did not want girls to know he was Indian, so he wore the Hawaiian shirts to look Hawaiian. Is it harder for Indian males to get dates? He told me yes.

I don't know you or even thought about brothers killing you. You can the white dwight , black jack or any color and if drug dealers and thugs and killers wanna kill each other then i am fine with it. Clean up the country and let em all kill each other bother.

I don't care about somebody when they say "I'm going to smash my face with this hammer" and fail to listen to advice such as "I wouldn't do that if I was you".

Why? They're obviously stupid and need to learn a lesson.

I don't care if black folks shoot each other by the bushel, if they're that stupid then it's doing us a favor. I don't care if heroin addicts OD in a ditch, if that's how they make choices then have at it. I don't care if protesters play ******* in heavy traffic and get flattened. I'm through caring about idiocy and idiots.

Okay, but he's from India. Not the same as someone who is black by race, posting this opinion.

Black skin doesn't = the same experience as someone who is African American. I don't see people from India exactly oppressed here, yet he posts that he's black every damn day.
