The history of black slavery is NOT exclusive to the US. It was rampant globally and was still happening as late as the 1880's in places like Brazil. Africans still enslave other Africans throughout the continent to this very day.
We have to stop using our history of slavery as an excuse. We can and should be proud of what we've accomplished, and itll be THAT type of progress that will take us forward. Not this shite.

bullshite.
We are ignoring a whole hell of a lot of crime and generational race issues at the community level to focus on these "hot news stories", where we have no fricking clue if race was even a motivating factor.
If you think this approach fixes anything, take a look at South Africa or Zimbabwe where the blacks simply went from being the oppressed to becoming violent, ruthless, and corrupt oppressors themselves, murdering whites and expropriating their land. Or China where Hahn Chinese enjoy their own justice system and ethnic Muslim Chinese are forced into camps, never to be heard from again.
Get on a plane friend. The USA is one of the most tolerant places on earth and it really isn't close. If we stop letting politicians flame issues, and focus on each other, we can recognize that and continue to build on the amazing progress we've made in less than 100 years.
I've done quite a bit of international traveling. I realize the US is one of the least racist countries in the world. Unjust police killings are an extremely small percentage of black deaths, but stuff like this can never happen if you expect the black community to feel like America is no longer racist.
There is absolutely zero excuse for law enforcement to kill anyone handcuffed. You see what happens when it does. The news gets a hold of it, blows up the story, and changes public perception. The 99% of good cops who do their job right correctly and don't abuse their power lose all credibility. shite like this can never happen.

Never. You have to realize that this is a billion dollar industry.
Every diversity officer at your workplace or school, the NAACP and similar organizations, and the Democratic party all would fold if one day people agreed “racism isn’t an issue,” so they can’t allow that to happen.
Look at core Democratic voters: What does a transgender in San Francisco have in common with a black man in New Orleans? The answer is they feel oppressed by whites and white values. Maybe they are, but even if they weren’t, the left would have to tell them they are.

You are absolutely right.
But if you think this is the single most thing that plagues the black community; then you need your head examined.

Never
Victim mentality culture
Black on black crime is much bigger problem for them yet nobody seems to care.
Odd isn’t it?

yeah, just ignore the part of my post where I said "Unjust police killings are an extremely small percentage of black deaths."

It's nothing but a political tool to mute other people's ideas at this time and is working, so never.
The black community just reacts to the outrage of the media and political leaders.

This is the problem. None of us is on the side of cops who kill anyone, black or white, unnecessarily.
But it's no longer enough for us to be against racism. We have to be actively blaming ourselves for everything bad that happens to black people. We have to feel bad and even that isn't enough. We have to take whatever action is prescribed by "POC" as our penance for "systemic racism".
They have decided they aren't going to leave us alone.
It is essentially a declaration of war, in that it is a declaration of their intention to not leave us in peace.

It's actually hilarious. I am a brown Latino.
In my near 27 years of life, I have met more racist Asians, Latinos, and Blacks than I have white folk.
Matter of fact I just got engaged to a white woman. She is definitely a racist according to the left. Loving others and having a brown fiance isn't enough

The tiny, statistically negligible occurrence of an unjust police killing of a black man has caused riots and violence. It’s poisoned the minds of millions who are mindlessly angry at the world. And you’re saying this statistical anomaly is the barometer of racism? If so, then no, there will never be an end to racism. Bc bad things will always happen. It’s an impossible and meaningless standard.
It’s like saying commercial air travel will never be safe bc every few years, of the thousands of flights per year, a plane goes down.

When they actually come together as a community and not residents of victimhood.

They could have their own Wakanda and still hate the white man. It is so culturally engrained it will never stop. If anything by percentage of population I would bet more blacks are racist against whites than the other way around.

A better question is "when will black America get tired of white liberals trying to run their shite?" All the looting, burning and destruction is at the hands of white liberals. These young, white, entitled assholes should be getting their teeth kicked in by the people they supposed represent.

I'm saying that as long as this kind of stuff keeps happening, the black community will continue viewing America as racist. National media will use it to stir up controversy and get ratings. No matter how few and far in between these occurrences actually are.

No, but it's funny you mention commercial air travel. Reminds me of Chris Rock bit.
"I don’t think they pay cops enough, And you get what you pay for. Here’s the thing, man. Whenever the cops gun down an innocent black man, they always say the same thing: 'Well, it’s not most cops. It’s just a few bad apples. It’s just a few bad apples. Bad apple? That’s a lovely name for murderer. That almost sounds nice. I’ve had a bad apple. It was tart, but it didn’t choke me out. Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. I know being a cop is hard. I know that shite’s dangerous. I know it is, okay? But some jobs can’t have bad apples."
"Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like … pilots. Ya know, American Airlines can’t be like, 'Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us.'"

Gotcha. You are correct on this.
I don’t remember that Chris Rock bit but it’s on point

Its crystal clear to anyone willing to open their eyes. EVERY republican is now labeled racist. There are "white supremecists" lurking around every corner. Police officers are hunting black children for sport. We have "dog whistles" that allow race hustlers to assign racist meaning and intent to anything anyone says. We have academics spreading the idea that ONLY whites can be racist because of power. In person voting and voter id; all racist.
Is this all true? Of course not. I think we can all be honest enough to admit this. So ask yourself; who is pushing these ideas. In the answer lies the problem.
