Your input isn't made anymore valid than the next person simply because as you state " consulted with your (Black friends)"... lol... WTF are you EF Hutton ? Furthermore the opinion of a few Black people you know doesn't make their opinions fact . Many Black people are taught from birth that there is this racial injustice that Is always present everywhere and is the reason for every short coming in their life ... so when you speak.to your Black friends there's a very good chance their view of things is delusional
Isn't it funny you say a person like myself isn't granted to have an opinion despite living and working in the same world as everyone else day to day as if this wouldn't expose me to viewing these harsh ever pre-sent injustices you speak of...lol... it's actually sometimes the opposite as I've seen persons of color let slide for things that others aren't simply because no one wants to deal with the claims of " racism ".
Obviously it can't be about Floyd he was not a victim of racial injustice...just a career criminal who played in traffic too long and became the victim of crime himself . The sad thing is much of the things are just like Floyd and that's why people like myself refuse to be fed the lies and " educated" . White privilege is a myth...lol... while not many are commenting I'm sure 99% of Naxja viwers are not seeing where they have been granted this so called "privilege " ... class privileges are real white privilege is pure fantasy.
I find it funny you are trying to "educate" me on a topic by your own admission don't have the credentials to be teaching a class in , but then again I always find the calling card of the far left to be that of hypocrisy .
Folks like yourself are killing the country... your midrset is why Seattle has the nation of CHAZ occupying 6 city blocks . It's why every democratic city has suffered riots .looting and murders at the hands of " peaceful protesters " it's why America is going down the toilet .
Never once said you aren’t entitled to your opinion... quit grasping at air man.. like the next few jabs you tried—
*My mindset? That of learning? Removing my self from the equation? Listening?
Obviously I’m here listening to you and trying to be open minded when you crap on anything I say.. *EF Hutton... Nope. I am a Hatten though, so maybe closer than I know? What *credentials did I admit to not having? Life as a black man in America?
I find it hilarious you always take the *”far left” road to dismiss anything you don’t want to accept. My parents are staunch republicans. I’ve only devolved that I’m somewhere in the middle... a gun totn Irish guy who sees all humans as equals and does not judge based on sexual orientation or skin. That makes me a liberal right? The current bigotry and hate of the GOP is not the same I grew up supporting.
Politics aside... your own words paint the picture of disillusion and systemic racism. Were YOU taught that black people grow up being taught of this fairy tale injustice? Were you taught that “Black culture is mostly kids raised by irresponsible single parents who are irresponsible kids . There isn't any responsibility or accountability in that culture.”???
Have you ever seen the bottom of the ocean? Does that mean it doesn’t exist? The fact that you “see no evil” lends to you having benefited from white privilege. Point blank. If you can look at the projects and places like Detroit and blame the blacks instead of the system that took away from property value to black neighborhoods thus impacting the funding for schools, crime rate, and drugs ever since the affirmative action... then That my friend is white privileged. Doesn’t always mean you have a golden spoon or don’t work hard or don’t suffer at all... it means you were systemically put in a place to succeed easier.
Justifying the cop sitting on a man and killing him for 8 minutes speaks volumes about the problems the nation face. Are we an eye for an eye society? Not last I checked... did he kill anyone? Not that I’ve seen.. so how is it acceptable how he was treated by officers of the law? That’s sick. Talking about priors is sick. It’s irrelevant. I’ll gladly post numbers and graphs if you need to visually see the law’s brutality to men of color at a staggeringly higher percentage then to white arrests- for crimes similar in nature.
But again your thoughts are valid (no matter how much you try to take away from mine), and you are more then welcome to go protest the protesters. Might be a good chance for you to hear their side and they yours. Good luck with that
