Quick summary of events leading us to racial tension:
Posted on 8/2/20 at 6:25 pm

American cities are still protesting and rioting over a repeat convicted felon George Floyd, who said he couldn't breathe at least 12 times before entering the back seat of the Police SUV. (which he refused to stay in) The knee was the not the cause of his death, but perspective is everything.
5 years ago, Mike Brown tried to take an officer's gun while the white officer was in the black community serving a single mother and her infant. We were told, Brown, a gentle giant was shot in the back six times in the back for no reason, in broad daylight...
Enter Colin Kap, "I wont' stand for the flag of a country who allows police to hunt people of color, and receive paid leave "
In 2012 Trayvon Martin, Obama said, he could have been his son"...
Trayvon while suspended from school for stealing, walked between homes during the rain in a hoodie around 7pm, realized he was being followed by a resident, who lived in this community which had 50 break ins in 12 months, tried to beat George Zimmermans' head into the pavement before George shot Trayvon.
Media shows and reports TRayvon as a nine year old walking home with skittles and sweat tea. Blatantly false or misleading photo...looting took place all the way to DC.
Several other cases in between (like Gardner and Sterling), but all have a similar theme, they were repeat lawbreakers, caught committing a crime, and resisted arrest.
but the cry for change is for the police who are the problem why these fatal killings by police keep happening again and again...so it's the police who need to change so we can have social justice. An NBA player last night "How many more" on his back... (I thought, about the same amount as the last 5 decades if we keep barking up the wrong tree)
How many black people believe police are the problem and they reason they are falsely accused, profiled or feared?
The anger felt should be placed at the feet of fatherlessness, not police trying to do their job.
Nothing changes for black people for the better with the powerful BLM movement, no matter how well intention-ed or how powerful they seem to be today, until the home environment changes for young black kids, all this is in vain, in fact, it just makes things worse by finger pointing in the wrong direction.
America doesn't even agree on what the problem is, so how can we have any solutions?
Yes, black lives matter...
when are we going to act like it versus tearing each other apart?
When are we going to build up instead of tearing down?

One third of black males will do time for felonies, you know white people out there committing violent felonies at the same rate but police just let them go.......

And....a Socialist organization (BLM) is leveraging racial wokeness to gain bandwagon support and funding. That’s the kicker
And it’s mostly white folks leading the charge.

Build what up?
Come together over what?
For many Americans of all stripes, America is the land of opportunity and many live the dream daily.
What is it WE need to come together over?
I’m already “together” with law abiding citizens who follow the golden rule.
Somehow many Americans of all shades have managed to avoid the vast array of unexplained systemic pitfalls
To your point - I saw Old Navy running a commercial with a similar message of coming together and celebrating “WE” the people, but all
the imagery suggested every left wing cause imaginable.
WE seems to mean I better get on board with what YOU want or IM divisive and a problem.
Curious how that works...

Here's your summary:
Americans elected the first black President to prove how woke and un-racist they are.
Said President spent 8 years being a race-baiting agitator in the White House.
Now, we have stupid people actually believing the police are "hunting" black people, even there is ZERO evidence to back up their claims.

Whites commit plenty of crimes yes. Not sure the data supports your claim...
and whites are not organizing to dismantle the Police
oh wait.....

Watch Chris Rocks video titled something like “how to not get your arse kicked bu the police”.
The most funny thing about that skit, is the actual truth to it. And it highlights the majority of these cases. But NO ONE can speak that truth today.

how easy is it to tear down?
We need to use encouraging words, more often
to be very intentional about it

Trayvon Martin
Don’t forget they used a Fake Witness in the trial and to this day I haven’t seen anything done about it

This is where it all began. The media and left pushed lie after lie about this entire case. BLM was created in its wake and things have only deteriorated since.

Correct, it was the step sister of Trayvon's girlfriend
Black attorney, Benjamin Crump who is on the Floyd case,(double check me on this) coached the step sister...he knew she wasn't the girlfriend...dude should not be practicing law, but is probably a hero to Black people who think Trayvon and Floyd are little angels among us
you can't make this stuff up
the woman who actually raised Trayvon, was pushed aside, the media made the parents look like there were married and "together"
Trayvon's dad was shacking up with a women in Zimmerman's community.
so much sin here, I don't where to begin and we let it divide us...on false narratives and bad information...

Good try but this was all started by biden saying "you ain't black if you don't vote for me." The media did a big "uh oh, we better start hammering Trump on something right away to get everybody's attention of that fricking biden idiot." George floyd happened (perfect timing) the Sunday after Biden said it on a Thursday or Friday. Probably just a coincidence but who knows?

All of this has been pushed for years by the media by refusing to report facts. Instead everything has a left lean to them.
Then factor in the Obama presidency and further race division occurs
