Moreover, Trump has a history where blacks are concerned. He violated fair housing laws by discriminating against black applicants for his rental properties. Many feel that his "birtherism" with regard to Obama was motivated by race (though his similar attack on Cruz might negate that a bit). Also, he has made questionable -- and not so questionable -- statements such as:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/592910662424223744

"Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!"

And:

"African-American youth are at a point where they've just about never done more poorly, there's no spirit, there’s killings on an hourly basis virtually in places like Baltimore and Chicago and many other places."

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-says-african-american-youths-have-no-spirit-10342030.html

He then went on to blame Obama for that. While there are far too many killings of and by black youth in many parts of the country, it is wrong to say that there is no spirit among black youth or that they have never done more poorly. Trump unfairly stereotypes a very heterogeneous community.

Cop Killings ! Laughable considering most victims are white. Skin color has nothing to do with all the bad incompetent pieces of shit cops in the Departments

Just to get this off my chest. My great great grandfather a Union Soldier with a New Jersey Volunteer Unit was killed in action outside Atlanta while attempting to free slaves. I want to know where my reparations are and scores of other whites that died to free them. Idiots. BLM is nothing but a hateful totally racist group with some very ignorant dumb shit white people thrown in.

This is why I'm voting Trump. No more PC. They want to call me cracker , I'll call them N

So much ignorance, so little time. Even if someone is killed as a result of self-defense, it doesn't mean their life didn't matter. It is a tragic loss if even a justifiable one. Moreover, there have been many documented cases of "self-defense" being very questionable. Why is it that in an open carry state such as Ohio, black people, even children, are shot on sight by the police?

It is funny that you believe "racial tension" started with Obama as if there had never been racial tension in the history of the world prior to that. Apparently in your mind, slavery didn't cause racial tension. The civil rights movement didn't provoke racial tension. The Republican "southern strategy" that explicitly evoked white fears didn't involve racial tension. The Willy Horton ad run against Dukakis had nothing to do with racial tension. Jesse Helm's running a campaign ad showing a white man losing a job to a black man was about something other than racial tension. South Carolina Republicans who ran a smear campaign agains John McCain for having a black child weren't counting on racial tensions. Nope, no racial tensions anywhere, ever, before Obama. In particular, those people who were calling Obama a Kenyan Muslim before he was even elected were not feeling even a hint of racial tension.

Brown didn't repeatedly attack the police officer. He was 20 feet away from him when he was shot multiple times and killed.

It is the sad history of the Civil War that the Union did not go to war with the aim of freeing the slaves. Whatever family mythology may have developed around your great great grandfather, the military for which he fought was attempting to end a rebellion and reject succession. While we appreciate the service of all who have served in our military, I'm not sure why you expect any special consideration as a result. If your great great grandfather had been a slave owner, you would not accept any special blame.

I think your true feelings regarding race are clarified by your last sentence. You simply can't wait for an excuse to use the n-word. The fact that you can't do that now must be particularly aggravating to you.

If so, BLM's main issue seems to be that they don't want to see any police around, ever. The Wild West was so much fun!

Perhaps if they adopt truth in advertising, BLM should rename itself ThugLivesMatter.

Only if they are black.

#BlackThugLivesMatter

Perhaps simply

#BlackThugsMatter

Can any of you PPs tell me why any black life, even a black thug's life, wouldn't matter? Even a criminal has the right to due process.

Easy. Self defense.

And, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is where race-based policies and cultural obsessions is taking us...

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in 2007, “is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”

No way you're so stupid as to suggest that prior to Obama coming into office there was no racial tension in this country.
So obviously you're merely suggesting that the racial tension wasn't as prevalent in the media prior to President Obama's election and subsequently every single thing he says and does being examined under a microscope for traces of potential race-pandering to (GASP!!) someone other than the traditionally privileged pale skinned people of this country.

Different poster here:
1) It's pretty obvious that racial relations are worse today than in 2008
2) It's pretty obvious that a white-majority country voted twice for a black (OK, biracial) President
3) It's pretty obvious that the Presidency gives you a lot of influence and power...which Obama misused, leading to 1) and despite 2)

Add to all that Trump chanting All Lives Matter at his rallies.

That is plain horrible.

Why exactly? Don't all lives matter??
