RE: Black Lives Matter Shine at Pro-Trump Free Speech Rally

in #steemit7 years ago

I agree 100%. I want to make it clear that I neither support or defend the BLM movement. I just can see it from their point of view and think that answering their grievances, which can be legitimate at times, with their terminology would go farther than pure logic and rationale. Basically no one suffers today, based on race, anywhere comparable to early 1900's blacks. I think their feelings of being undervalued should be addressed, but not incentivized. I should say that I think any problems with law enforcement and the system that surrounds it are true for all races, but I can see why black people would be more suspicious of this system, given the history, than whites would.
