No, I’m not. I know who I am and I know that I stand for Equality for All under the law. Currently it does not exist. If you feel under attack, if this upsets you, then perhaps you should reexamine your values. (By the way, don’t explain how you perceive cultural differences, that would truly be embarrassing).

Hmmm...thought burning it did that and "you guys" have been doing that since the monumentally pathetic protests of the 1960's. Sure, you want to equate running afoul of a flag code with being an armed fleeing felon? Knock yourself out but there is ZERO chance I'd EVER get in an airplane that you are in the pointy end of. Anyone who can in good conscience posit that equivalency need not be flying an aircraft.

Same thing when someone attacks a cop. It is justified use of lethal force. All cultures in this country value life. A black family mourns the death of a loved one just as any other family would. Culture comes into play when dealing how different groups react to a given situation. Studies have proven that those from the black culture are by far more likely to be physically combative or to flee when confronted by the police than other cultures. Again, it isn’t skin color that explains police brutality, it’s behavior. Don’t give the cops a reason to be looking for you, and if you do find yourself confronted with the police, act in a civil and cooperative manner and the odds of having the police use force of any kind is practically nonexistent.
No I do not. In fact, I’ll stipulate that all of the murders in your Table where handled correctly by the State. That has nothing to do with extrajudicial homicide under the color of law. I’ll spot you another one: Let’s take your behavior argument: Philando Castille complied. He’s dead. Tamir Rice, age 13, did not have time to comply as that cop was firing before his cruiser was stopped. He’s dead. We all saw George Floyd, murdered in front of the world’s eyes. Breonna Taylor? The faulty warrant cover-up continues. She’s dead. Oh, and regarding “proven studies”, assuming they are credible and exist, and credibility is in question here, I’d run too if it was more likely than not I would be killed by and armed and armored agent of the state. That’s human nature.

Which exact Marxist movement would that be? The definition can be very broad, but has also been quoted out of contest (without proper knowledge). The combination of Marxist and facism is a classic, once again the usage of big words/terms without any facts.

The BLM movement leaders, themselves, said they were trained in Marxist ideology. I assume if you read Karl Marx writings, you would figure out what that is. He was pretty consistent with himself.

labor unions are Marxist. Might as well start relearning history.

There it is. Conservative media successfully changed the narrative so you can justify your hatred.

BLM isn't about BLM. "Truth isn't truth"

This is like when you all decided that Kaepernick kneeling was "hating the troops" instead of what he actually said it was about.

BLM is an admitted marxist organization whose sole purpose is to overthrow Trump and destroy America. This is straight from the organizers. It’s common knowledge now among anyone who isn’t a fool.

Krapernick kneeling wasn’t about troops or the flag. It was a child throwing a tantrum to ruin it for everyone because he couldn’t accept the fact that he actually sucked at football. Looks like EA’s Madden hired him, though. Hope they program him with extra kneepads!

BLM organizers themselves say that BLM doesn’t mean BLM. When asked why they aren’t protesting the 104 shootings in one weekend in Chicago, resulting in 15 fatalities one of which was a toddler, they said that’s not what we’re about. They’re only interested in cherry picking events that can cause civil unrest, protests, and riots. It’s a political organization.

Have you been keeping up with Kaepernicks’ twitter since his exit from the NFL? On every American holiday like the 4th or Thanksgiving, he is sure to trash the founding of this country, the actions of the American military, and basically anything American you can think of. Just because you can’t read between the lines when someone is doing something like kneeling for the flag, doesn’t mean the rest of us are as thick.

So, how would you describe the Voting Rights Act and mountain of other legislation (often coming with significant public resources) designed to redress the issues in Urban communities?

Are you arguing that there HASN'T been over 50 years of significant attempts in both the public and private spheres to fully integrate Black Americans fully into public life? These efforts have bill payers, namely other disadvantaged populations that didn't receive these efforts. What do you say to them?
