To never have any white person tell any black person what to do ever again.

Trump is out of office. They can't explain what they're fighting for.

They think that kneeling during the anthem will somehow end inequality. Its actually kinda sad that they think that those in power are going to change bc they took a knee when in fact whoever these people are dont give a shite about the people kneeling.

You know whats going to stop inequality?
-People caring about education enough to not want to live off of welfare and portray the thug life.
-Teenagers having respect for life and not having children out of wedlock.
-Males actually caring for their families instead of leaving as soon as he finds out his girl is pregnant.
-People having respect for law enforcement when they are pulled over and questioned.
-People showing respect for each other no matter what race they are or political views they have.
-People getting their heads out of their phones 24/7 and actually having conversations with others.

Kneeling during the anthem, tweeting your displeasure, blocking roads and highways, and//or rioting during "peaceful protests" will not do shite except piss off the people you want to listen to you.

The complete eradication of the police's ability to enforce the law and possibly black supremacy

I would assume it's mostly about injustices for african americans related to law enforcement.

I'm fine with them trying to promote awareness or whatever for that. Sure, there are some bad cops. Sure, black people are absolutely profiled in some cases.

However, it would go over a lot better if they stated that they wanted to work on the issue from both sides, and admitted the african american community has to do a lot better on their end too (committing less crimes, listening to police officers and not thinking every cop is out to get them, Michael Bennett not making up fake stories about the Las Vegas police, etc.).

Exactly. The protest was dying out and the Great Pumpkin decided to throw gas on the fire.

They are pushing for serious violence in an attempt to bring this Country down. Rewrite the Constitution, completely dismember this Country as we know it, the statues are part of this. It is attempt to erase the Country from existence as it is known now.

There is a large portion of the black population that are taught from birth to hate white people and police. There will always be racism. It's part of the human condition. The best way to minimize it is to never even bring it up. Eventually people would forget it exists.

I honestly have no idea.

I also wish both sides would STFU about it. My Facebook feed looks like a moron ate a political Mad gab and then vomited it onto my screen.
