Face book and news media are full of Racism. Maybe we need to protest that. Hardcore right wingers exhibit racism constantly and get cheered on. Where is their honor? People are suffering. Where is the love?

That is a common conservative pratice..to hold others to task and fail to hold oneself to the same level of scrutiny..look how everything wrong socially is discussed from the premise as attributed to black behavior...even when others clearly do the same things...

In many cases Whites want Blacks to be humble and "stay in their place". even in the face of injustice.

The same as i said about cops and black men goes the same between others...starting with a mutual respect for differences:

The thing (problem) with cops and young black men is twofold on both accounts-inherent bias towards the other and the lack of education on what is appropriate in a given situation. I am referring to specific actions that work to de-escalate as opposed to exacerbate a situation that has the potential to go wrong.........

Yeah...even in OPP if a black does not subscribe to their BS then they are on the plantation...even if they are doing better than the ones saying that nonsense........that is the problem with discussing race.......blacks are supposed to "know their place" by not ever saying anything regarding the status quo...no matter how blatantly obvious the inequality is.....

Hillary does not seem to understand that most blacks die violently because of black on black crime, much of it drug or gang related. Just look at the statistics in Chicago, which has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. The long term solution is education, understanding that school and good grades is a positive thing, that being a good and productive citizen is a good thing, that living on welfare is not a good plan for life, that getting married before having children is a good thing, that aborting over half of the black pregnancies is not a good thing, and so on. Taking responsibility for one's own actions cannot happen until these other things happen first. Relying on excuses like being poor or being from a single parent family or bad companions for criminal activity cannot be tolerated any longer. There is no valid excuse. One's life circumstances does not excuse criminality. Being law abiding makes life a lot easier to navigate.

Regardless...the police issue is a separate issue. They are not supposed to be criminals and since they are not, they are held to a different standard. That is the same as Ghouliani's weak ass argument. A crime committed is not supposed to be a death sentence unless warranted. All that other shit is a white thing also, so act like it.

Nailed it. All I can say is a person needs to be proud of who they are and what they are. I am not quite White and I have suffered for it. The more they tried to beat the Indian devil out of me the more they just beat it into me. I have to live with myself and I cannot live a lie.

There are some people that just don't seem to understand that the hungry belly of a minority child is just as important to feed as the majority child. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. A Republican said that. We are all born good hungry and naked and we all shall die. We can't escape the way it is.

Tom, I have to disagree with you here. We hold these truths to be self evident was said looong before there was a democrat, or republican party.
