Why do both options include being angry?

I’d say at this point I’m a B


I am angry that people have used this mans murder as an excuse for their bad behavior and violence against business and people who had no part in his death....

C. His death was a totally avoidable and inexcusable tragedy. I stand with those affected by this but firmly believe that people burning down bars and stealing TV's do not actually give two shits about the cause

B

Cop was arrested and charged.

VERY few black men actually are killed by cops.

Looting/rioting is not legal and what I would expect of Somalia.

Pretty prejudice to think minorities don't live in Prairieville.

The cause is based on false beliefs, so I have zero sympathy to begin with.

too complicated for that

I'm still annoyed by the absence of truth. Black people aren't systematically gunned down for no reason. Black kids playing in white neighborhoods aren't in mortal risk.

But sure, it does draw attention to a lot of shitty policing and the difficulties that poses. The example I think is genuinely true are the black guys who will say they won't go for a walk without their dog/kid/wife. Now, I think the consequences they're concerned with are highly unlikely, but I don't blame them for wanting to avoid any type of hassle.

But then it raises the question of where prejudices arise from and whether some of them are from real-life stuff instead of just imagined/fabricated fears, and the country is way too immature for that conversation.

Thanks, I updated. I realize that what I said is probably racist. I can only hope that I will be forgiven.
