Talk about showing your privilege. Are YOU afraid of going for a jog? Are YOU afraid of using a twenty at a store and ending up DEAD because of it?

Seriously...SHUT THE **** UP. Your opinion is NOT based on fact. It’s based on your IGNORANCE to what black men have to deal with DAILY in trumps lilly-white, wet dream of amerikkka.

And **** your feigned “civility” too. A guy tried kneeling peacefully for the magic song of freedom and you lost your collective ****. Don’t tell them to “start a conversation” now because they tried it your way and were vilified and ignored...AGAIN.

They’d rather arrest hundreds of citizens instead of 3 of their own. That says ALL that needs to be said.

The WORST LOOTING I’ve seen happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected 500 BILLION in “stimulus” money while everyone else got a $1200 check and had to decide whether to pay rent or buy food.

Valid point rsp!

Whenever black people protest, they see it as a prelude to a riot. Might as well start preemptively using tear gas.

"Oh, but I have a black friend"

I agree with what you said, rsp...guys like all3 and Dougie have no idea what it is like to be black in America. Then again, neither do I or you or tangplay or laramiebob. Colin Kapernick does. George Floyd did.

Absolutely. As white people, our job right now is to shut up and listen.

I know that statement is going to trigger a lot of snowflakes on the right here. But here's the thing. Throughout history, enemies of civil rights have consistently attempted to strip black people of the right to protest by saying that it isn't the right way. If you put all3 into the 1960's, his arguments now would echo those made by right supremacists. Black people aren't allowed to riot, they aren't allowed to kneel, they aren't allowed to fill the streets, they aren't allowed to chant, they aren't allowed to get in white people's way. It's not a protest if it doesn't offend you. The entire point is to get your attention.

exactly Tangy!

I wasn't defending all3 by any means. Just pointing out that none of us know what it is like to be a black man in America.

^^ we are on the same page.

remember George Floyd
