You're not serious, are you? I feel a tug on my leg.There isn’t any systemic racism in this country. There isn’t any denial of human rights. That’s the big lie that Black Lives Matter is propagating. That’s the big lie that the media is advancing to keep the country divided. We have more laws against prejudice and racism than any country on earth. We’ve passed scores of affirmative action programs and anti-poverty programs. We’ve established Enterprise Zones in our cities to promote businesses and investment. We even have laws that establish financial support for single black mothers who are raising kids alone. The black middle class has been growing for years partly due to some of these laws, and we now have more black-owned businesses and black millionaires than at any time in our history. There are more opportunities for blacks in America than any other country, which is why blacks keep coming here from all over the world.
This idea that police forces around the country are out to get blacks is absurd. In 2019 there were a grand total of nine killings of unarmed black men around the country, and 19 instances of cops killing unarmed white men. In most of those nine killings of black men, the cop was in danger for his life. Look it up. It’s all a matter of public record. The ridiculous neck hold that Chauvin was applying to Floyd has been used on other races of criminals with the same disastrous results. It not just something these bad cops do to black men. They do it to everybody—black, white, asian, hispanic, you name it. It’s bad policing, but it’s not racist.
In a great irony, the number of people killed due to the riots exceeds the number of black men killed by bad cops last year. And the property damage done by the rioters in urban areas across the country, including the destruction of a new low-income housing building in Minneapolis (you can’t make this stuff up) is much worse than anything supposedly inflicted on the black community by white Americans.
Yeah, I figured I would. You can’t challenge the lie. The lie is sacred. The lie has to be propagated. It’s how the left keeps black Americans in line. It’s all pretty sad.You lost me RIGHT here!

You want someone to answer this question for you then you might not know who you are to begin with
I have black friends and I stand with them for social justice and opportunities. They believe we as country have taken good leaps in in racism but still have a ways to go. They also think opportunities have improved, but still a aways to go. We just need to consider reforms and community growth and opportunities to keep things propelling the right direction.
Some in here might label that gentrification. I call it what it is....opportunity.

Typical whitesplaining at it’s finest......https://nypost.com/2020/07/04/trump-not-biden-has-helped-make-black-lives-better/
......I personally do not agree with everything President Trump says or does, and I often find myself on national TV as a conservative pundit saying exactly that. But I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that Trump has been one of the most impactful presidents for African Americans from a policy perspective — and that’s what matters......
Thanks for the laugh! Happy Fourth of July!!Why aren’t blacks able to do the same against an oppressing capitalist government?
Binx, the challenge is self evident.Yeah, I figured I would. You can’t challenge the lie. The lie is sacred. The lie has to be propagated. It’s how the left keeps black Americans in line. It’s all pretty sad.
Isn't this a repeat of another post?
