I believe academia is brain washing white people into thinking that they should live with white guilt and feel ashamed of themselves for things mostly out of their control.

This is why they will dig for precious infractions and find anything they can to justify excessive force.

“If he just complied, single parent household, etc..”

Nothing but excuses. If they actually put more pressure on police to be punished for their actions we wouldn’t be where we are today.
That is a disgusting accusation, but not surprising from the left.

Pointing out that if he had just complied is not an excuse, it's a reason. I get that you hate cops, but you think a cop should be punished for doing everything they can to keep the community safe, and themselves alive? Because that's what you're advocating here.

Should they have just let Jacob Blake go after tasing him to no affect? After he resisted, when being arrested for violating a restraining order? After he managed to stab an officer? Stab one of his children? Stab a bystander? Get in the car, with children, and flee the scene?

From your statement I guess you would get a bit of joy out of seeing a woman's call to the cops go unanswered. After all, it's just a "precious infraction". Nothing to see here. Ignoring the fact that domestic violence calls are the most dangerous for the cops AND the victim. Why are you defending a career criminal with a very long history of abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and child endangerment?

Most of them are highly educated because when you have no direction in life, just continue going to school. They see their future as mostly hopeless anyway, so what better way for them to get ahead than to break down the "system" and demand their UBI.

Also, this is the everyone gets a trophy generation. When the real world doesn't give you a trophy you get very angry. Your mommy and daddy would always get angry and get you what you deserve. They see the role of the government should be like the role of a helicopter parent.
I do remember when I was that young. I had hobbies. A race car, dirt bike, snowmobiles. In my later 20's , I added a boat and a house to that list. When I wasn't messing around with my hobbies I was out partying trying to meet women. I also had two jobs to pay for all that. Life is so short , especially the period of being young , why waste it hating everything ? I just don't get it.

Look at the BLM terrorists, they always look the same. Militant blacks and white freakshows.
For the most part , yes. These groups are made up of societies undesirables. Although, it seems like the fear of being cancelled on social media , or the desire to "fit in" has brought many college age kids as well. And the odd cases are people that are successful that got into this. Like the two lawyers that firebombed a police car.

One can clearly see a difference in the crowds during the day, actually peaceful protesting and then the **** show after dark.

The year after Apartheid was lifted I visited South Africa. Young white South Africans told me that many of them had moved to Australia because they had enough of the system. They hated the system and that the racist system only benefited the top 5% of the white population. Same here in America today. That's why BLM has many intelligent white supporters. Our streets are beginning look like South Africa during the Apartheid protest.

Sadly, there does appear to be a sizable contingent of younger white people who appear to be avowed nihilists who have been using the protests to wreak havoc and destruction.
They aren’t particularly sympathetic with BLM, they’re just using the moment for their own purposes.
They’ve come out of the woodwork here in the Denver metro, particularly in the past couple of weeks as the original protests have started to wane.
Lest anyone not recognize them, some of them are the younger people homeless by choice who resist every attempt by the city to clear them off the streets.

They aren’t motivated by any ideology other than to cause disruption.

In that, they are most similar to the Bundy sympathizers who took over and trashed the Malheur National Refuge.

Idiots with too much time on their hands exist at both ends of the political extremes.

An American supports personal liberties, the constitution, capitalism......need I say more. Your comments make it clear you do not support these things. In fact you believe people who do support them are fascists.

One part of your post I agree with is the part that alludes to a coming conflict. We are headed for civil war.
Revolution is part of America’s DNA.

The British loyalists made pretty much the same arguments as what is stated in the first paragraph above.

I am in no way advocating for bloodshed in the streets, but one of the things that does indeed make this country great is that the right to effect change via protest is written into our constitution.
Sad that people forget that.

Well which is it? Only peaceful protest is supported in the Constitution, so in effect you ARE supporting violence. But instead the violence is happening against the innocent citizens not an oppressive government. Big difference. So your analogy is not a good one.
