Yes trying to start a conversation about black people being killed by the police is stupid and disrespectful to 'the country'.  

As a black person who has witnessed it, I can tell you that wanting to stand up for my life in this country isnt a piss poor reason. It won't stop because black people will NEVER die for you.  Got it.  Nope.  You don't get it.  Lol.  It's okay.  Just know that it won't stop because we think our live are worth fight for.

You are all like "how dare you speak up for yourself"?  

What did you witness?

An unconscious unarmed black man being beaten by cops with their nightsticks. The crowd told him to stop and was horrified.  But he wouldn't.  I couldn't stay to watch.  

But I know that whatever hangups people have with protests is misguided and shameful.  This is not okay and we will NEVER stop talking about it until it is taken seriously. 

Its like this stuff is invisible to people.  I don't care if they cancel the whole damn NFL and people protest by burning their shoes with them on.
