I'll be home in my basement piddling on some projects not giving two shits about anything else except my family, my $, and having a few beers!

Maybe you and others misinterpreted my intentions or maybe I didn't do a good job getting my point across.
I'm not trying to be a race warrior and I know discrimination comes in All shapes, sizes, and colors. All my post was demonstrating was that there is absolutely no compassion at all for others if it's outside their little bubble. That goes for both sides. I rarely see many white people where I live go inside the black communities and help bridge the racial gap the m that exists and the same goes for black folks too as I rarely see them reach out to white folks. Everyone stays within their bubble and don't give a damn about anyone else outside of it. We are all Americans and we should at the very minimum care enough to listen and hear each other's concerns. In 2017, it's really sad to see this go on.

I spent years in central city, upper 9 and lower 9, 7th ward, etc doing Katrina recovery work. Not a lick of problem while we were working, but we were explicitly told to shut down work when sun first started to go down .

Their good deed would assuredly not go unpunished, which is sad.

Serious answer? Vote Libertarian.
Eric Garner was targeted over cigarettes. Freddie Gray was arrested for a pocket knife. A knife, the horror!
If you eliminate victimless "crimes" you eliminate a lot of police encounters with citizens and reduce the opportunities for such encounters to become major incidents. You also eliminate the possibility for contraband to be used to frame minorities, like we saw with the Boston drug lab scandal.

You're not paying attention.
What in your mind would bridge the racial gap? What the hell is the "gap?"
A middle income white dude and a middle income black dude have way more in common than someone lower or upper class of their own race.

I am going to light a candle in favor of the abolition of affirmative action.

Don't post. Don't say anything.

Every day you should hand out your hard earned cash to an unfortunate minority. They deserve it.

If people would have more biracial kids, eventually there will be a bunch of people from all different races and then there would not be people bitching about this race or that race.

Yep.
Feuds were traditionally ended by marriages. I'm willing to promote racial harmony by marrying Beyonce or Stacey Dash.

Yeah but i had been watching it for years... no racial injustice had been solved.
How would it all of a sudden matter now?

I don't even know what this "racial gap" means but there are plenty white people who try to help the black community. Think of the white inner city teachers, white public defenders, maybe even some white cops who want to keep those areas safe (!). Think of the subsidized housing blacks utilize. Think of the various government programs supported by tax dollars. LBJ was white. Affirmative action passed into law by white lawmakers. The millions of white voters who voted for Obama.
I really don't know what you're looking for. The success of so many black people shows that nothing is holding them back.
