This type of animal behavior will only stimulate the divide between the civil and savage elements of society. How can people help but to have despite for a group of barbaric untamed animals that have invaded our country and ripped the fabric of society into pieces. It is the entitlement mentality driven by the left and liberal media. It is not about George Floyd, It is not about Donald Trump, it is about a festered sore spewing the pus from the soul of scum covered empty vessels of misery. Hatred fanned by the losers in life . It appears the Democrats are using the slave minorities to try to do what they cannot do at the voting booth. They have no ideas or solutions but want to be in leadership roles. Shame on them. You got what you wanted but you lost what you had.

MLK had his place but in reality it wasn't MLK that caused the society to change. It was the fear of Huey Newton. the Black Panthers, the Weather men, the Mow Mow and the SDS that really caused change. Society has pushed MLK because society don't want to admit the truth. We had a revolution and won. Now the right is trying to take back control. Now, our hopes relies on ABITFA to protect what we won years ago.

I don't disagree anti. And once again I am not justifying the violence. Loke I've said, there are reasons why we are here. And it's because people can't understand why we are here.

But he was murdered so yeah..


So was Malcolm X...

I have no problem with a peaceful protest, but there needs to be a clear goal for the outcome. Protesting an issue that doesn't actually exist isn't going to help anything.

And rioting just "proves" the racists right.

Ironically, in an attempt to stop black people from getting killed, five people have been killed in these protests.

I never said nothing has changed. There is still much work to do. Racism is alive and well and sadly there are too many people that do not want to see people of color live fheir life.

You guys are really showing your true colors. You don't get it.

Bull****. People like mich like to pretend nothing has ever changed since slavery. But the truth is, if race relations hadn't improved in just the last 30 years, this morning sidewalks across America would have been littered with bodies and the streets would have been rivers of blood. MLK wasn't ignored. He made progress. Lots of activists have been killed. Not just black ones.

What I'm saying is MLK peacefully protested and was murdered for peacefully protesting. Every form of protest African Americans have ever tried has been ignored or led to more trouble for them.

Which brings me back to my point of, this is why we are here. This is why there is violence. They protest peacefully and get murdered. They protest peacefully and get demonized.

It's just like the comparison to a bullied child I shared yesterday. A bullied child will snap at some point if their cries for help are ignored. That's what is happening. Why is that so hard to understand?

We have nothing to blame but ourselves for allowing this to go on for so long.

The riots are just ignorance in action. Nothing gets resolved and it definitely doesn't bring anything constructive to the point of a protest. Plain and simple. I was talking with my friend today who is black, his statement was it's an embarrassment to his race in his opinion.

Mich,
"But he was murdered so yeah.."

That has to be about the most ID10Tic thing you've said yet, as if the fact MLK was murdered means his efforts weren't successful. Are you saying if MLK had promoted violence instead of peace he would have been more successful in bringing change.

MLK did almost nothing. It was Huey Newton who was the real power behind the civil rights movement. MLK jut got credit because the powers that be didn't want Huey yo get credit. So, they gave credit to a preacher and ignored the warrior.
