re: Provide me an African-American view on something

Blacks just want the opportunity to fix their community without prejudice or police brutality.

I understand it and I talk to my AA friends about it.

What they want to stop is the racists jokes, the "pearl clutching", the looks they get by white people, and to have the same opportunities as everyone else.

The reality is they have to take responsibility for their own communities in the end. The police are only there because there's crime. This doesn't absolve the police from being shitheads or profiling.

What do they think about people like David Dorn being beaten to death and left to bleed to death in the street? He isn't going to get the opportunity for much of anything from here on out.
