RE: Taking a knee on crime by criminals that are black

in #crime7 years ago

I get the basics of what you're saying, but if you'll take a bit of criticism...when we say "the blacks do this" or "the whites do that", or when we (everybody) says we and them in reference to race differences, it automatically sets off folk's race alarms.

There is a lot less differences in white folk and black folk than is portrayed in the media...especially when black communities and individuals are outside the influence of the democratic party!

To me, it's cultural... a person understands the base values of America are liberty and personal responsibility, or they aint American.

Race is not a concern for me except in it's use in Cultural Marxist identity politcs

Sort:  

using those terms no doubt sets off alarms in peoples minds.
but for me i have very little information to define my starting position from so i must generalize.

most people in America if educated understand that for the system to work everyone must buy in. but when you go to history class learn that your races slave labor played a large part in building this country or later learn that your teacher skipped that lesson, you start to form your own opinions, or say you learn how all the African-american soldiers from ww2 left racism at home to fight for America only to be treated as inferior soldiers and return home to racism even after fighting and dying for the country like a good citizen.

when you learn your people have been historically mistreated by people who still exist, the average human thought is "get even" not try to understand why.

it's an easy thing to do, and it's sets folks off b/c race is such an emotional issue for most people
