Exactly. My son and I had this same conversation. I know he wasn't shot, but we were talking about G. Floyd. If he would have been white no one would care not even white people.

Well, in hindsight, they are only throwing gays off the roofs. Probably should throw trannies off, too.

An inconvenient truth is that a percentage of these people that claim to be offended have absolutely no issues with young black folk being murdered in the hood over drugs, reputation and the colors they wear as long as it's other young black folk doing it.

The lifestyle is not only allowed... it's encouraged, condoned and embraced. "Thug life". Music, movies, television, self proclaimed "black leaders". All complicit. Ask Sharpton when was the last time he was publicly outraged when a POC raped and murdered a white girl?

It's sad.

It's a combination of perpetuating/reaffirming their victim status, in their own minds, and opportunism.

I think by and large the majority of black folks view people more as groups rather than individuals. That is why you hear terms like "my people," "your people" us and them so much. Why would you view some random crack head criminal as "your people" just because they have the same skin tone as you is baffling.

people talking about holding back tears, expressing their unbridled anger and disgust etc.... It does not make sense to be so emotionally invested in some random person on the other side of the country.


Most of those participating in the show don't have enough sense to get in out of the rain. Stupid people do stupid things like get emotional over events unconnected to their own existence. Best to just ignore them like any other pest.

This is true. I work with several well educated black coworkers that truly have bought into this hype. There is no rational conversation around the topic for them. None.

I don't care if its a street person or the guy has a PHD from Harvard, every single black person I know thinks the cops treat them differently. Whether its true or not, that is the way they feel about it.

The destruction of White identities has been a top priority of the system, and is reinforced by all media and all major political parties. Democrats say White identity is racist, but reinforce Ethnic solidarity of all other races in order to attack Whites. They minimize the astronomical rates of violent crimes committed by Blacks and other ethnic groups against Whites, and even justify them. They exaggerate, omit, and create entire mythologies around "hate crimes" as far back as hundreds of years ago, characterising every single one of them as "Whites hunting Blacks down to murder them!", despite the actual facts NEVER supporting these narratives.

Republicans say "identity politics" is the problem, and complain about the weaponization of highly exaggerated non-White ethnic grievances, but above all demands Whites focus on taxes and "free markets" rather than form an effective political coalition.

For this reason, Whites have no incentive or support for unifying around even the most grotesque crimes against them, such as the Cannon Hinnent murder, or the torture, rape and murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom by a group of feral black thugs in Knoxville, Tennessee.

This will continue until Whites are a fledgling, hated minority in the country our forefathers conquered, or until we abandon the liars who tell us that the authors of Western Civilization aren't the most valuable resource in the world.

Give a shite I celebrate when White trash with a criminal past gets gunned down. Why do I care?

Same with these gang shootings....I don't care how many are killed in Chicago...just dont hit Granny and kids in the crossfire.

For some of the old school that truly lived through genuine oppression and disadvantage, I fully understand.

But, for the majority it appears a leveraging tool for freebies, and college/job entry concessions,etc..

And for some of learned hopelessness, it's just a vehicle to lash out from their despaired lot in life..and claim foul.

NEWSFLASH: The Coastal Elites & Corporatocracy enforced by an infiltrated partisan failed Government Bureaucracy, is f@cking us all, not just homie from the hood. Back away from the low hanging fruit. Think less myopic and more macro. Don't be a sucker for divide and conquer.

For the same reason that women get emotionally invested, they have the highest estrogen levels.

frick this bullshite narrative. Whites in this country have been so generous with other ethnic groups in this country that White people are now fair game for virtually all other political and social classes. It's hard to even imagine another society that has ever been this good and tolerant of people who hate them.

Because they have been told that white people are hunting them down and everything is set up to hold them down!

Shelby Steele: Blacks in America are the only people he can think of who routinely put the lowest common denominator of their group on pedestals.

He’s not wrong. I don’t see white people lamenting when white trash gets killed. I don’t see Hispanic or Latino people do it. Asians? Haha yeah right.

Only blacks will rally around the biggest piece of shite postmortem and elevate said piece of shite into near saintly status.
