I will ask you all politely to stop making this a black thing. I am black. These men are stupid. Its a stupid thing. Not a black thing. We don't have the full story of what happened here but we know it isn't right. It probably isn't political either. But when you say black thugs instead of just thugs, you are missing the point. If you think for one second that this excuses unarmed black men being executed by cops, or other hateful acts perpetuated by racism, you are wrong. I will never willingly surrender my life to a bigot just to make anyone feel good or safe or anything else. So lets call things as we see them without casting stereotypes on everyone else. We don't do it to white people. Stop doing it to black people. We are hard working, we have families and we are Americans.

It's really that both sides are getting crazy.

I am not impressed with Black Lives Matter's conduct at all. I'm all for addressing the problem of the relationship between blacks and cops. However, that doesn't mean you can just start rioting, destorying personal property, and beat up random white people in the streets. That isn't to say all black people are doing this. Most definitely not, but the ones who are causing chaos need to stop. Also, stop calling other blacks who don't subscribe to BLM's type of activism as Uncle Toms, house n****rs, or coons.

Of course, not all white people are racist. Most aren't, though I can't help but roll my eyes whenever some claim that there's a white genocide going on. Being discrimminated against based on your skin color is not equivalent to a genocide. The hyperbolic persecution complex expressed from certain sects of the right wing is rather silly.

The thing is, people, all people have a right to life and we aren't talking about something trivial.  We are talking about someone unjustly ending your life with the biggest reason being the color of your skin.  There is no appropiate way to react when you feel like you may be targeted for execution.  I would expect all people to take that seriously.  So different people will react differently.  Some reactions will be helpful and some will not.  But if you believe that your life is at risk, you have to react.  Period.   There is of course no white genocide going on and people who think that are insane.   We all need to do better.  Period.
