The problem is they're wrong and they're protesting a non-issue. Facts matter. There is no issue of police killing blacks. 140 deaths last year out of 40 million people. Let's assume 80 of them were cases of police brutality. That puts a black person's chance of being killed by a cop at 1 in 5 million. I'd like to hear
No he didn't. Felons already had their due process. Being black doesn't make one a felon. Michael Brown wasn't convicted of assaulting a police officer.
How does this justify whites enslaving blacks in America?
I don't have to address ****. It takes an extremely arrogant racist ******* to tell black people they are making up their bad experiences with cops.
Look, I appreciate your sensitivity on this topic, unlike dip**** (BlueAlpha1). I have to ask... have you ever actually protested anything?
There is video evidence of Michael Brown robbing a store and assaulting a store clerk, which you didn't watch. At this moment he became a criminal. That's probable cause for Darren Wilson to conduct a lawful arrest. When he ultimately tried to, the forensics concluded that a struggle took place and the final bullet was fired at close range and into the top of Brown's head, rendering the hands up don't shoot narrative a lie.
It doesn't. I'm just asking you to be consistent with your moral outrage. When you express as much outrage over modern day slavery in Africa, or black Muslims enslaving my people (there is no such thing as Islamophobia), or the fact that 98% of slaves in the trans-Atlantic slave trade went to Brazil, then one can begin to take you seriously.
It's not that you don't "have to", it's that you can't. You can't win the argument. Facts don't care about your feelings.
"Bad experiences" does not equal murder. 1 in 5 million.
Inconvenient or disruptive, sure. Offensive is not necessary. The Million Man March, Ghandi's hunger strike, John and Yoko's Bed-In for peace, none of these were offensive but all got their point across. Sitting during the national anthem is just a big middle finger to the country. In fact, I would say once you make it offensive, it becomes more about you than the issue you're trying to protest. It distracts from what you are trying to say.
Yes. He's an anti-white racist.
Just like the racist Isiah Thomas, who said white silence is violence. This guy should get the Donald Sterling treatment and be abolished with all things NBA.
Video =/= conviction. Due process is a constitutional right.
Stop deflecting. You need to own American Slavery. It is part of our history.
Why are you so butthurt?
Sorry bud, that's garbage. Your perception of what is offensive doesn't usurp the hardships faced by underprivileged groups. You don't get to tell others how to feel or how to peacefully protest.
What kind of stupidity is this?
Listen moron, I don't need to own American slavery any more than you need to own African slavery which was much longer and much more brutal. There's a stronger likelihood you are the descended from a slave owner than I am. 1.3% of Americans owned slaves, but slavery has been and still is prevalent in multiple African countries. In fact, there were black slave owners IN AMERICA. It might be you who owes reparations, actually.
Let's face it. I make mopping the floor with you a full-time job and all you can do is come back with JPEG's of strawmen and dopey questions.
There is nothing called an "underprivileged" group in this country. We have achieved the closest thing to perfect equality the world has ever seen.
No I don't, but I am allowed to have an opinion on it, yes? I said in my first post Kaepernick had the right to sit out the anthem.
Malcolm X preached a violent agenda early in his career, although he probably would not be viewed so favorably now had he not softened his stance - just as Kaepernick has. Martin Luther King went out of his way to make his protests nonviolent. I can't think of anything he did that was offensive.
Speak for yourself. The guy who said "if you find any good white people kill them first before they turn bad" shouldn't be looked at favorably in hindsight. Malcolm was an evil man who belonged to an evil cult called the Nation of Islam.
Yea ok.
You can, but you will sound like an ass doing so. Oppressed people are suffering. Colin Kapernick and Barack Obama do not embody the reality of most blacks in this country. It would be like telling someone who is grieving to stop doing so because it inconveniences you. It just makes you the *******.
Nope, that's revisionist history. Martin Luther King and Muhmmad Ali were both hated.
Just admit you disagree with the message.
I'm not attacking you personally, but just for once listen to the perspective of someone who isn't of the same race as you. This is what myself and many (not all) black people see:

Your idea of white people "owning up" is bending over and paying a 95% reparations tax to every black person who was never a slave. You want trailer trash Joe with no teeth in his mouth and a nickel to his name to "check his privilege" and apologize for oppressing multi-millionaire Colin Kapernick. You are never going to be happy until whites are completely and utterly subjugated the way blacks used to be. Just admit it, what you want is revenge and you veil that in cute words like "conversation."
The race issue can not be fixed because of people like you. By that I mean paranoid blacks and cowardly whites. The "coons" and race traitors are the heroes here. They are on one end of the tug of war trying to pull black people forward as you stand on the other end trying to pull them back like crabs in a barrel. They want the national embarrassment that is black crime fixed. They want the family restored. You don't. You like the status quo because you get to blame someone else.
Ridiculous, nonsensical comment. We have a black President, a black attorney general, a former black attorney general, a black Supreme Court judge, black billionaires, black prosecutors, black bankers, black shareholders, and black super athletes.
Excuse me, I was there. Yes, many people hated King and/or Ali, and were resistant to change, but many people liked what they stood for. I was young, but I was always a fan of Ali.
Malcolm X was killed by a black man. No one killed Ali, Farrakhan, Jackson, or Johnny Cochran.
I don't know what specific politicians you are referring to because I haven't heard any who have said such a thing. But if by "be more like you", you mean to be law abiding citizens, yes we expect that.
You gave the black perspective, let me give some white perspective. Yes, there are racists, I'm sure there will always be racists. But I think 90% of white Americans bear no ill will toward minorities, and do not want to discriminate against them, and do not discriminate against them. But I think many white Americans feel like we have "owned up to our racist history" until we are blue in the face. We have bent over backwards to make laws against discrimination, and to help the poverty stricken and people of color to get work and education.
Wow. Get a life. I've never stated or suggested anything remotely close to this in any of my posts.
I'm everything white America wants a black man to be. Young, college-educated, white-collard professional with not even a speeding ticket to my record.
You've made it clear you don't care about fixing black crime and the family unit.
Why are blacks still underrepresented in all those positions you listed?
Yes. You need to acknowledge that it happened and still affects the black community.
