And it is not black celebrities' problem to solve.

HE. TOOK. A. KNEE.

So I can’t say that the current reaction to the murder of George Floyd is too much.  Because when the reaction is passive...and peaceful...its too much then as well.  

Bullies hate it when the people they bully fight back.  Thats Americas problem in a nutshell. 

And it turns out many of the more violent “protestors” are implanted instigators who are seeking to make the protests as violent as possible.  Maybe they are working to craft a narrative on behalf of the right wing.  Maybe they are just out for a thrill.  You can find dozenS of video of peaceful (often black) protestors stopping or trying to stop (often white) “protestors” from smashing out windows and setting fires.   Officials in Minneapolis said that nobody they arrested on the first night of violence was from Minneapolis!

Ive said it before.  America is STRAINING to go back to its true nature.  Racism is part of America’s DNA.  We might have spent the past 100 years or so trying to rewrite the code.  But its pretty damn clear to me that too many folks in this country were NEVER outraged at racism and economic injustice or at the very least AWARE enough of it to truly care.  

We have a President (!) who embodies White Supremacy.  He is making policies and running (ruining) the nation based on it.  And he has millions of supporters...and may win reelection.  If this country was what it pretends to be...he wouldn’t be anywhere near Washington DC except as a tourist.

A man was murdered by a cop in full view of bystanders and witnesses.  He did so while nonchalantly keeping his hands in his pocket...and other cops stood by and kept people from intervening.  

This happened in 2020.  Not 1820.  Who the hell is REALLY free around here?

12 times the President had to call in the National Guard domestically. I believe 10 of those were with issues of race.

The cop who killed George Floyd is currently being charged with 3rd degree murder. Personally, that's total bullshit.

If the folks who have any sway of making things better for black and brown people in this country do not step up to the plate, then this is going to get worse.

Unlike white people in this country, me and my family don't automatically get the benefit of the doubt of innocence when eyes are set upon us.

Won't happen. Their identities have been made known. If they escape punishment from the law, they'll end up getting it from the public. At least two of them, especially the one who knelt on his neck, apparently had several complaints lodged against them in the past that were completely ignored. No disciplanary actions or reprimands whatsoever. That particular police department needs a good cleaning out. Heads need to roll.

I do not support the rioting. The rioters are just trash using the situation as an excuse to commit crimes and have even vandalized and destroyed property of people who have nothing whatsover to do with it. 

In another case of a cop who needs to be tossed in prison, a police officer in South Carolina tried to pull over a speeder who ignored the flashing lights and sirens, and followed the car until the driver pulled over. The driver got out and the cop was quick to shoot according to witnesses because the man was making weird gestures.

The `weird gestures' were American Sign Language, because he was deaf.

The power that is bestowed upon us is really stupid. I get to carry a gun in public and have to make decisions in a split second that could take a person's life.

A barber has to go to school for a year to be licensed to cut hair. I hold the power of someone's life after 4-5 months of training with some people that have no business carrying a gun, let alone to have it in their home period.
