Theres been 500 murders in Chicago. I don't see anybody bringing that up.
I agree with this. It should be more of an issue.
I think the reason the communities are in the outrage over the police and the shootings in because there is an expectation of protection and fairness that the police should bestow to all people. It does become sensationalism which is what gets attention.

what would your reaction be? Seems like this movement is spreading and there's rumors the entire Seattle Seahawks team may take a knee during the anthem.

It's anyone's right to protest but imo it's very disrespectful and I could no longer support that particular player.


The reason they give for the protest is nonsense and it is only an act to attract attention to themselves like a kid throwing a tantrum. They have been victimized by the pied pipers of black cause preachers whose main source of income is drumming up hatred.

The real issue is why black lives are being taken predominately by other blacks and not by law enforcement. Doubt any one of these "protesters" are aware of that so treat them like any other gullible fool you might know and ignore them and their camp followers.

P. T. Barnum was right. There's one born every day.

Do you believe black on black shooting deaths is an issue or not? My guess is that you don't and if you were pressed, you'd say it's white people's fault it exists in the first place.

"oppression" and "strife" hits ALL OF US YOU BAITING SOBS. Not just some of us.
What do black on black murders have to do with police shooting people in the back and head running from traffic stops?

Certainly violent crime is a problem. Black on black crime is a problem. Police using deadly force where it isn't needed is also a problem. The police are supposed to be the professionals in these situations. Supposed to be trained as to when it is appropriate to use deadly force.

Those murderers aren't being paid by the taxpayers to protect and serve. I don't think it is unfair to hold the police to a higher standard.

So, because you post two videos of police shootings where suspects are running away, it makes it gospel that "police shooting people in the back and head" is the norm everywhere? Put your self in the shoes of law enforcement for a day and then come back and tell us how it's "supposed to be trained."

Black on black crime has everything to do with what started this thread, an nfl player refusing to stand for the national anthem and flag because it represents such oppression of people of color. If people like you and the nfl player would stop and just try to figure out where some of these roots of anger splinter off and what groups of people (democratically led inner cities) for years have continued to oppress the inner city citizens with lies and layered poverty, you might be surprised that it's not always the police nor non-black people who are to be blamed.

I personally believe that much of societal decay begins in the home where there are many single or no parent families. Maybe if the nfl player would try to address his personal issues with how his family failed him and advocate there instead of disrespecting this great country and the millions of people who have good hearts and intentions (like the parents who raised him) who try to make it better, he might be onto something.

The biggest "White Privilege" is parents who give a damn.

That's consistently proven by hard working black parents who raise good kids.....and also proven by useless white trash parents who churn out useless white kids.


What's acceptable in black America is the problem, not white America.
