We have amendments and clauses still in law that were meant to subjugate them. We have prosecutors to this day that still seek juries that were punitively punish and convict black defendants because of racial prejudices. Explain to me in your opinion why black Americans can and should blindly trust in a system that has, more so than not, not had their best interest in mind? Whether it was repealing slavery then ushering in Jim Crow right after that, or the beginning of the industrial prison complex in the 1870s to round up those freed men, or laws used to punitively restrict their economic advancements. Or the Democratic Party taking black votes for 50 years and giving them nothing but ruined cities and more plight, when has someone actually had their plights in mind, and not their representation to some sort of fiscal or political gain?

Please show me laws and amendments currently in force that sanction discrimination against blacks or any other group. As a nation we have eliminated lawful discrimination. There are still some instances of individual discrimination and that will never end anywhere on earth.

What the current climate of protest is doing is furthering division between people and making matters worse. Racism was on a natural decline and would continue to decline if people would ignore small slights and protest only egregious instances of racism. The current activities of BLM will only make matters worse, which I suspect is their real objective.

For those willing to listen, it has been debunked that blacks are killed more often that whites by police. Statistics show that blacks are less likely to be shot by the police than whites.

The United States is most likely the most diverse nation on earth and is also one of, if not the least, racist nation.
