RACISM

How is BLM asking for charity any different than any other organization? And I know that people within the group are condemning those who are talking shit and making the group look bad. You simply don't hear about it. You hear about the ones that got away.

as for the BBQ, you mean this? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/police-black-lives-matter-activists-barbecue-wichita-kansas_us_578cf018e4b0fa896c3f4a0a

Ok... can we go at this one at a time? The BLM BBQ that wasn't official, what's your point? Did you read the article or watch the video? They explain everything. The ending was kinda fucked up, but they have a point. I didn't even know about that until you just showed me. I thought it was nice that they had a BBQ, but what did that solve? The BBQ was the invite to get the ball rolling on having the community involved with police more and talk over policies in their neighborhood. No one talked about that. They only said that BLM & Police had a BBQ and it was great! not that BLM and WPD had set up a meeting to discuss important issues within the community. I'm actually glad you showed me that link

As for the whole hiring and what not, you have no clue how hard it is for someone with the name 'Treyvon' to get a job in Accounting in a big business firm that does more than get coffee and sweep floors. Or Rashanda. Or "Watermelondrea" or any other "ghetto" name. So yeah, they're demanding you hire people like that. I get it. Luckily for me, my name is Greek so I'm good to go.

minus "career criminal", I agree with your statement. They do believe the judicial system is inherently racist. If they believe that, and it's not just one person, it's a LOT of people, well, where there's smoke, there's fire. There is now video proof that Police are overly aggressive and target people of color and instead of saying maybe they have a point, let's look into this, the response is 'stop bitching'. This is not just some shit that was made up. They're are countless stories on how cops doing shit just to mess with people of color and white people, for the longest, ignored it because there wasn't proof. Now there is and there's an excuse for everything. The cop shot him cause he was acting suspicious or The cop shot him twice in the back cause he was struggling. The man was under arrest for resisting arrest. How the fuck can you arrest someone for the sole reason they were resisting arrest? White people don't deal with that on a regular basis like POC. You know who do? criminals, scumbags and POC. That's how they're viewed. simply cause I'm a lot darker than you, if I walk down the street smoking a cigar people automatically assume it's weed. If I walk with a hoodie on, I'm on my way to rob someone. If I play in the park with a nerf gun, I'm likely to get shot. Everyone has stories. And everyone has breaking points.
