[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All lives will matter, the day that black lives matter. That was great. Wish she would have mentioned Tamir Rice, 12 years old, murdered by police. They wouldn't even let his mother hold him as he lay dying. That would have NEVER happened were he not black. Dear police officers, Please stop killing black  people. Thx[/quote]

Dear black people - stop committing crimes.  Thx[/quote]

Dear white people - stop acting like black people aren't responsible for the majority of wealth in this country but are treated as second class citizens. Acknowledge that a group of your white ancestors systematically terrorized black people and repeatedly tried to kill their humanity. Successful up-and-coming blacks were killed or permitted to rise. This shooting down of any progress over and over again got us to where we are today.

Know that you are a product of the hard work of blacks and whites using them as stepping stones.

We don't need your guilt. We need your acknowledge and action.  The superiority (the belief that blacks somehow put themselves in this situation) is ridiculous. Some beliefs that ignore the numerous efforts at removing black progress (which is why there's so few) are counter-productive.

If you really believe that all lives matter, acknowledge that black people have savagely treated and the effects seen today are a result of continued degradation.

I am black and have mostly white friends (as result of where I live, profession, etc). I feel like they are completely oblivious to history and present day circumstances.

Noone should be held back. The world needs to stop holding back blacks then blaming them for their troubles.  Yes, this is systemic. It will only be solves through ACTIVE efforts to move the black people that were held back forward.  Let's start with education.

Just because you provided labor doesn't mean you created wealth. The Africans who sold you as slaves created wealth. See the difference? It's silly to compare yourself to white people, the best you could have done absent slavery was stay in African as prisoners of war.[/quote]

Without the Africans' labor, white people would not be wealthy. Period. They were weak and could only manage to create wealth on the backs of others.

You can pretend that you are superior all you want. One day, you will get a wake up call. Enjoy your stupidity while it can last. [/quote]

Let's be real. America is a country full of people who had the initiative and took the risk to leave what they know and move to the unknown for a better life. That is why the Protestants, Irish, Germans, Jews, Asians, Latinos, Middle Eastern refugees and countless other ethnic groups have managed to rise out of nothing and create success in a new country. In fact, recent immigrants from Africa are successful too.

The only group that constantly failed to achieve success for itself is the group of Africans who lost the war in their own country, then decided to blame all their bad fortune on white people. Because white people should be held accountable for the actions of their ancestors, but not black people, right? Face it, this is just natural selection at work - winners will be winners, and losers will be losers.

But I agree with you. Slavery was the worst thing the US ever did because it diluted our country of go-getters and people with a whole bunch of complainers and people who don't understand how to take control of their destiny like everyone other ethnic group. I hope someone does a real economics analysis around reparations, where we can calculate what would have happened to this group of black people had there been no slave trade. [/quote]
