[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3373791, member: 24577"] Ok Mr. Expert. I never said some black folks don’t get treated bad because of their color. I know some do. But the point of these articles has nothing to do with what you speak. There are people rioting and protesting claiming it’s for George Floyd. It ain’t for him. And it ain’t for black folk. Why are people still doing it when all the officers have been arrested? These people don’t want justice. They want revenge. And to be clear, George Floyd was a piece of trash. He had been in prison for a home invasion where he held a woman at gunpoint. He was also found to have meth and phentanyl in his system which very well could have been the cause of his death. But that still doesn’t excuse what the officers did. Everyone is making him out to be saint like they always do when these black people are killed. Another thing, there are far more white people killed by police than blacks. Where is the outrage over that? Where is the outrage over all the black on black crime that happens all over? There ain’t anyone rioting and protesting over that. What about all the innocent black folk that have recently died because of the riots? Why is no one talking about that? They don’t care that’s why. They want to constantly scream injustice and racism no matter what happens. The same way they did with the Michael Brown case, Trayvon Martin Case and a slew of others. I remember George Zimmerman was labeled a white man when all that happened. The cop that killed Philando Castile was Hispanic. But I’m sure he was labeled white too. Why is it that thousands of poor black folk have been able to rise up out of the ghetto to make something of themselves? After all they grew up in a big city and were as poor as you get. Take Ben Carson for instance. Look at some of the black actors such as Morgan Freeman who grew up in the south during the civil rights era. Yet he was able to become one of the most respected actors ever. The fact remains that no matter where you come from, no matter what your color, or social status, you can do whatever you want. This country isn’t racist towards people of color. Sure there are racist people. But that goes for ALL races. My wife has been discriminated against. She had experienced racism first hand. And yet she is very successful. She grew up with her dad being in prison and her mom ain’t a very good person either. She was poor and didn’t have squat. She never once blamed anyone else for her life. I see articles every day that are meant to drive a wedge in between races. It’s pathetic. But for some reason you see them as cries for help. As I said before, apparently we read different articles. It’s not about some folks having it rough. It’s about blaming other people for their failures. It happens all the time in the black community.
