Im sorry, it sucks, but im just going by what i see on the tv, time and time and time and time and time and time again. Not trying to be racist, i am far from it, but when you see videos like this time and time again AND BLACK PEOPLE ARENT DOING ANYTHING TO STOP IT OR OUT PROTECTING THEIR CITIES it is very concerning. This Looting and Rioting and Burning and Kiling is DIRECTLY HURTING BLACK PEOPLE AT A FAR GREATER RATE AND YET YOU DONT SEE 1 BLACK PERSON OUT IN THE STREETS FIGHTING OFF THESE FUCKING ANIMALS. White people have a 17 year old kid out stopping these idiots, who do the black people have out there stopping this shit?

don't let the TV do the thinking for you. Plenty of decent black Americans in this country.

I never thought of myself as racist until this year. I used to think it was odd how openly racist my grand parents were. And here we are, I have a deep hatred now that will likely never go away. I know there are decent black people in this country. But I don't see them. I don't know them. I live in a down town like Minneapolis. My eyes see what they see, and its all black.

I understand how you feel, and I absolutely see how you get there... but...

Remember that there are concentrations of low intelligence, low personal responsibility, quick to violence white people as well. If you lived in certain trailer parks near me, you could have the same experience, but now with 99% less melanin!

We would be fools if we failed to acknowledge the way that the welfare state, the war on drugs, and Joe Biden's mad incarceration programs have destroyed black communities and families, causing so many black kids to be raised without fathers... Then we allow the violent racist garbage to be labeled as "black culture" and marketed to young black kids as the way they're supposed to be... What do we expect?

We would also be fools if we thought any of that was a reason to ignore personal responsibility. You are responsible for your own actions. Period. None of what's above can take anything from that. We can however, strive to ensure that our policies create conditions (like having a FATHER) that are more likely to result in greater personal responsibility in decision making.

For instance, drugs are bad, mmmmkay? They can put you into a cycle of addiction and depression that can destroy your life. That said, the war on drugs puts nonviolent people in prison, even more effectively ruining their lives, associating them with violent criminals, and ensuring they can never work in a productive job again. In addition, it provides an incredibly lucrative and reliable income source for violent psychos. And a father who smokes some weed from time to time, but still expects you to get up and mow the lawn on Saturday is a hell of a lot better than the one whose jailhouse letter you get to skim over before screaming at your mom that she can't make you and you head out to meet up with your "crew" for some "peaceful protesting" down at Saks.

You're looking at this at too much of a macro level. I understand how we got here. You could gather in a small group and discuss philosophy and theory all day. The things you are saying are right. But you go outside RIGHT NOW and there are roving groups of black males age 15-30 doing all kinds of crazy shit in the streets. Mind you I do not live in the suburbs, I live in the kind of hell hole you see on DC Draino's instagram. I'm downtown. I live this shit. This is a problem for me RIGHT NOW and it demands a RIGHT NOW solution.

That bias is based in some reality, but you have to also see through easy stereotypes and be prepared to have them subverted.

You must be no where near any major cities. The city I live in has been torn apart by these riots and are now a mosh pit for angry blacks to drink, fight and shoot each other. Subverted? What are you suggesting I go out at night like an oblivious retard and try to see the 'good'?

WHERE ARE THEY??? WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY THEN???

I Dont see any black person on TV Defending this country in the middle of these riots and looting and murdering? Show me a video of a Black Person Protecting their Communities. Show me a Video of a Black person at these store fronts when these animals are rushing in destroying a business trying to stop them. Show me a neighborhood of black people confronting these animals telling them to stop burning our fucking country to the ground.

Put your money where your mouth is, show me some evidence of black people standing up to these animals. Show me.

Shit is aggravating man but anyone that tries to get in front of the mob and take away their whole reason for being there, is likely going to get beat to death. There are black people condemning it online and to their local police, those people are not going to be lifted into the spotlight by the media tho. The media wants racists, they have been trying to push people that way. Dem governers letting these riots keep going aren't doing it because it makes them popular, they will likely lose their re-elections because of it. So why do they do it? They have been talking about this mythical population of white supremacists and nazis for 4 years now. They want nothing more than a white shooter taking out Black people in BLM shirts, it would be the campaign ad of their dreams and their sole talking point up to the election. They didn't quite get that in Kenosha but that is the goal of this whole demoralization campaign against conservatives. That kid is hispanic, only shot white people and they still were loaded and ready to go in smearing him as a white supremacist. We need to not fall into that trap, that isn't the path to victory

I thought it was quite hilarious that only white Antifa got shot. Those are our true enemies and I think there was divine intervention guiding those bullets.

There was that former polie chief who was shot to death trying to stop looters in St. Louis. Dave Dorn gave his life doing what you want to see. Funny to have outrage that others are not taking action to make the world the way you want it to be. Calling for more martyrs for your cause is one way of dealing with the emotions, I suppose.

Come on dude, what a fucking weak response. So you are saying that standing up to these animals is worthless? You are saying why stand up to these animals when you could end up dead?

How do you think a 17 year old kid felt going to defend a city he loved? He could have died as well. He could have let those animals kill him and not fired his weapon. We are allowed to have guns in this country to protect our lives, our families, our cities, and our country from these fucking animals.

WHY THE FUCK WONT BLACK PEOPLE SACRIFICE AND GET OUT AND DEFEND THIS COUNTRY ON THE FRONT LINES? What are they scared of? Why do they not see it as their duty to protect their cities and country from this scourge of ruthless animals?

You still cant answer my question, show me videos of black men and women on the front lines pushing back these animals burning, looting, and murdering in our cities? Dorn worked as a security guard at the pawn shop he was protecting at the time (i am very very very sad for mr Dorn, he did not deserve to die that way and those animals need to be brought to justice - over some fucking tvs, over some fucking tvs at a pawn shop!!!). I AM LOOKING FOR REGULAR BLACK AMERICANS OUT DURING THESE RIOTS PUSHING BACK AGAINST THESE ANIMALS AND STOPPING THEM FROM DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THIS COUNTRY.

There are black people in these communities standing up for the community. I think we are just not hearing about that because it doesn't make the news.
