Is this why?
Yes, it is because of religious beliefs. This is why I don't have sex. I'm not married, so I have no business having sex.

My reason for not having sex outside of married, it is because of my religious beliefs. I actually endorse that. It would solve alot of problems.

Liberals have to keep racism alive. Good forbid African Americans ever become as prosperous as Asian Americans, African immigrants, and Jewish Americans by not letting the past affect our future.

When all else false, just claim racism and the legacy of slavery to excuse the following in 2020:


As you can see, these good Samaritans are being oppressed by the Target self checkout register of their hard earned money because racism and the legacy of slavery obligated them to commit crime.

Underclass behavior. Do you see any Black working class, middle class, or upper class individuals rioting or the like?

What do you expect to get out of talking down on Black Americans as a whole?

It’s basically confiscated. The only people that complain are the ones who miss “the good ol’ days”.
I've heard that theory, but its stupid. its like me cutting off my nose to spite my face. guess they will say im white so i dont get it. or worse.. i am not supposed to dictate to the blacks that using that word is right or wrong by me.

they dont want to have hate thrown their way, but they embraced the word of hate and degradation. i.e. i wont call myself a bad name just so that it doesn't have power over me, or so they say.. its stupid. no matter how they rationalize it.

With body cameras we can weed out the bad apples who still operate above the law I have faith that our police will do better each year moving forward it's going to take time. The best part about the cameras is it can be used for training, and maybe weeding out an officer who is not mentally capable to deal with it.

If you really want to be shocked go look into the lynching's in America many were well documented and photographed in the 1920's-1940's. I think that is shocking to me it happened in America. I always thought as a lynching someone being hanged what really happend was grotesque medieval deaths. If person was only hanged they were lucky IMO.
Alot of progress has been made, but there are still many issues going on. We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. Weeding out bad apples is being made easier with body cams, and other forms of technology. Bad apples within police departments can be weeded out easier and easier. Progress is being made. Sadly, there are still some bigoted individuals, who would defend those bad apples.

I know about the lynchings that took place back in the 1920s-1940s. Many lynching victims were burned and beaten. Some riddled with bullets.. I know what happened to Emmett Till in 1955. That was a very grotesque lynching.

You take the power from the word when you change the meaning. The whole issue with white folks saying it I guess stems from how they’ve used the word.

Side-note, wanna see something weird?

You're avoiding the issue. If you happen to be lost in an area you might normally avoid, and could approach a group of black guys on one corner or white guys on another for directions, would color be a factor ? If not, if it's 50-50, or whichever group is closer, good for you. I'd approach the white group.

If you are black and have to ask directions from a group of white strangers or a group black strangers you have to go to the black group if they are in plain sight of each other. If the group of blacks see a black man who is more threaten by them than whites he becomes their enemy and their is no guarantee the group of whites will have your back. You are in trouble no matter what.
