People love to deflect. It's hard to talk about things when people would rather dodge and change the subject immediately.
That's not a partison dig either. Both sides do it.

The reason that Auschwitz has not been leveled by the Jews is it stands as proof that the Holocaust actually happened.
Tearing down statues is either a mistake or a work of genuis.

It's a victim mentality. You can constantly think "poor me" and ask for help. Or you can hustle and go make it happen.
If there's one lesson a parent can teach their children, it's that. And it doesn't happen enough. There's cultures that just languish in "look what they've done to us. You'll never make it out...". And that's a problem.

Why is it so hard for some people to say black lives matter
The reason is because over 7k black lives are murdered every year by other black lives and not a single protest or anything is done but when the rare opportunity comes along of a white officer killing a guy who probably should have still been in jail comes along they burn shite to the ground. Hard to have sympathy when you don't want to fix the major problem within the black community.

You know what I have the biggest problem with? It's the fact that all my damn life I've been taught again and again that we should observe MLK's message and try to live it as best as possible. Decades of laws we were told were to follow MLK's message were made. We accepted them because MOST whites were brought up with sayings like we all bleed the same color blood and we're all people. It turns out that we're the only race actually believing to judge a person by the content of their character instead of their color.
Turns out, they don't want equal. They want to try and literally reverse history and progression except this time they will play the white part and we'll play the black part. Sorry but I'm not going to accept that.
Ever been on a jury where a black person refused to vote guilty just because the accused was black? I have. There are plenty of persons of color who have been hugely successful and many living the middle class life. It's time for the civilized people in the black community do what the civilized people did in the white community did and that is expose racism and promote togetherness. Until this happens, there will be zero progress. Slavery isn't the problem. Having a culture of violence and lawlessness and mocking education be the standard for their race is the problem.
The biggest sign of racism is the fact that successful rich black people feel they have more in common or consider themselves part of the lowest thug part just because they are the same race. They literally share a whole upper and middle class civilized lifestyle but still can't embrace MLK's vision of equality.

The last known public lynching in the United States was in 1958.
Probably would have looked much like this photograph that was taken in 1930:

What do lynchings have to do with slavery? We've moved past the Jim Crow laws that segregated many parts of the south that allowed those lynchings to occur.
Absolutely, when were talking about slavery. Segregation is a totally different thing.

The reason slavery is cited to, even today, is its dehumanizing nature. Public lynchings were simply a continuation of that practice. Their purpose was to show that white people had the ultimate power over black bodies, whether they technically owned them as property or not. Spouting the "slavery was 150 years ago, get over it" rhetoric is to ignore that public, extrajudicial lynchings of black people were still occurring for a decade and a half after the first Baby Boomer was born.

And yet those people changed society and became more civilized to not accept that sort of life. We basically shouted it down through teaching and made it unacceptable.

I'm not blaming Boomers. I'm simply pointing to signposts on the timeline to illustrate that brutal, inhuman fricking racism wasn't as long ago as people like to pretend it was.

Until people have the will to move on it will always exist. It’s what some want anyway.
