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.

 

 

Obviously blacks aren't bad people. however these types of actions do nothing but worsen the already complicated problem 

 

Similar to how some Palestinians or Israelis choose to be violent, I think the black/white issue in America reflects a less severe tone of what's going on in Israel and Palestine. once we get rid of these trouble makers from both sides, we will see progress. unfortunately, they're like cancer cells, impossible to get rid of once it appears.

 

Sometimes its hard to ask for peace when people feel like they are being threatened.  Thats reality.  If you are acting out of fear and fustration, does that make you cancer?  And I understand what you are saying about both sides.  But ultimately one is killing people and the other is being reactionary.  Its a complex situation that deserves real analysis and thought.
