    I completely understand the general anger and frustration within black communities, and am not at all surprised that these feelings continue to boil over. Rightly so. Do I think this particular case of an armed man fleeing from cops and supposedly with gun in hand being shot by cops is specifically something the community should be angry about? No, of course not. To me, it seems like a justified police shooting and the dead guy was a criminal and I don't care about him. I am not sure if these specific riots have more to do with general anger about racism from police an now they are just on a hair trigger, or if they have more to do with a bunch of assholes looking for an excuse to loot and destroy. If the latter... hey, white people should be able to relate, since most of their riots are based solely on that very thing, since they don't have anything real to be that angry and frustrated about like black people do, which was the whole point of that other thread.

    Couldn't agree more.
    White people have absolutely nothing real to be angry or frustrated at all.
    Period.
    Forever and ever.

    Rightly so? There is not one good reason for people to loot and riots like that. So because they're victims of racism, they have the right to burn the city? I hope I'm misunderstanding the Rightly so part.

    Sorry, I meant that their anger and frustration is justified, not that it's right to riot. I believe in peaceful protest and civil disobedience, not destruction and violence. But I understand their level of anger and frustration, and I don't blame them for feeling that.

    Not at this level they don't, as a group... well, not white men, anyway. White women have had a raw deal too throughout history. But anyway, yeah, white people in North America do not have anything like what black communities are angry and frustrated about. Slavery, horrendous bigotry, attacks, discrimination and abuse coming from the side of the law, unbelievable, shocking injustices that white people have never been victims of. That is a fact, not an opinion.

    Hillary is a big supporter of BLM but do they realize who will be doing the fighting over the next 4 years as Hillary fights countless wars at the behest of her boss, BIBI.

    How us white guys are victims:
    We're expected to be respectful toward minorities.
    The government steals our money and calls it taxes.
    Our commute times are longer.

    the whole BLM movement is just an opportunity to commit crimes and riots, the dumb bustard's don't care about human life, theirs or anybody else's and that's very apparent.

    There have been threads about police abuse and its been discussed, but I don't believe the issue is as desperate as many make it out to be. With over a half a million cops in the country, finding a small handful of police abuse cases does not prove "open season" or a pattern. There's a similar percentage of NFL players running dog fighting circuits than cases of proven police abuse. But no one says its open season on K9s.
    I do think it is obvious that there are many BLM protesters who don't care what they are protesting and use it as an excuse. Ferguson is a great example, they looted and rioted many shops, who weren't even owned by white people or had anything to do with the matter. They even looted the liquor store that Michael Brown robbed because "that is where it all started." About as lame as you can get.
    But this clearly does not represent everyone, and probably not even the majority. Many feel there is a serious issue for various reasons and do protest in the proper ways.
