[QUOTE="chuter, post: 3383512, member: 13693"] This nation needs a moral leader (and I don't mean religious) that can articulate the nuances of what is going on. The problem is that the mindless mob would find it hard to listen. There are black youtubers who do a great job of explaining what is going on, and how BLM is using blacks, how the fake racist outrage and hoaxes are not helping, and yet that there are abuses by police that need to be addressed. Explaining how the BLM victim message, that all problems come from white supremacy and systemic racism, ignore the personal power that black people have to improve their personal situations. I get how resentment can build in a community that feels, and sometimes actually is, targeted and harassed by police. Social media and the MSM have reduced these issues to soundbites and trash talking contests. Nuance is lost and people don't want to spend the mental energy to think long enough to understand. I'm waxing philosophical today, and no I'm not smoking pot, or drinking. [/QUOTE]
