I’m sure he doesn’t mind getting confused for what he is.

I don't know about "one of the safest cities" but I do think it was safer then (violent crime wise).
Been there a bunch over the last 35-40 years.

He has a point. If I want to start looking at my genealogy, I can hit up ancestry.com or familysearch.org and go as far back as I care to go. There’s a history and an accountability associated with that. Those chains of succession were smashed for so many black families during the time of slavery. Instead of birth and death records, the slaves would be cataloged like the livestock instead of included in census records. It’s hard to complain that there’s not a great big sense of ancestry if slavery was part of the reason that sense doesn’t exist like it does in white families.
If you believe that the criminal justice system is racist, the the fact that so many young black fathers are racially incarcerated and keeping them from being the fathers that they could be. 
Lastly, the black guys here posting ARE family guys. Most of them are here because they’ve been actively working with their own kids... but we’re griping at them about the problem of single parenting in their community.  
How do you explain to a young man w/o a dad in his life that the best day of your own life was when your kids were born?  There aren’t any easy answers. 

I knew someone would have a story like this. So did I my guy. Clean record. “More likely”. Just pay attention. Congratulations though 

Help yourself understand. I’ve allready addressed this. Do some research 

I seriously don’t blame whites for our problems on the day to day. I believe we have the tools to do for self if we let go of bad habits and pick up good ones. But I am aware that a lot of these bad habits were created through oppression. I am aware that systemic racism still exist. No it’s not as strong as it was long ago but it can go back that way if you get too relaxed. You teach people how to treat you by what you allow and we can’t allow the system go back to its old ways. As a matter of fact we must push it further away from its old ways. And yes we must also be self accountable 

Regardless. The movement is very much needed. It didn’t just appear for no reason.  Fatherlessness is real problem but fatherlessness is not what got Zimmerman off after murdering Trayvon. That’s the system. The system must be held accountable for things like that. If things like that happen more idiots get comfortable with killing black people. “Aye  if Zimmerman got away with it maybe I can”. You can’t allow people to get that comfortable 

True, true, true..... and slavery had an affect on that. The number of young black dads in prison even more so. 
 
I don’t think that dismantling the justice system is the answer, though, and as a white dude I don’t know what I can do to help.  I don’t have a voice in the community that needs the message. 

Just now reading the whole thing Realville. Fatherlessness is a HUGE problem. But that’s thick topic. You’d have to go back to get to the roots of that. 

Wow!!
Debating the skin color of Jesus.
This forum has hit a new low.

Fox don’t bother me at all. I just look at things from all angles to get a complete understanding. I will never rely on one source unless that source is God. Men are faulty 

I know one thing for sure. The image being projected is not close according revelations 1:14-15. And I also know 1 of the 10 commandment is no graven images.

There definitely are some incorrect images out there, we can agree there for sure. 

Moses was black they all where black the Bible describes them as black Jesus too. Some just refuse to accept it.

My 12 grade year in art II we was to paint a picture of someone during the civil rights era . I chose Malcolm X my art teacher told me it will be an automatic F then gave me a list he felt I should choose from .(none where black) image that.
 I painted my Malcolm x picture still because it’s Art II who cares? i already had all my credits.

Know someone at Lamar just about finished getting a degree in Crimnal Justice.   One class required a Rhetorical Analysis paper.  My friend wanted to do a paper on Pro Life.   The Professor denied it.   That’s what students are facing now.

Only the narrative to have in your head of what others think? Have you had a conversation with a blm member on this issue? Any black persons told you this. Or your conservative/conspiracies outlet thinking for you. You don’t understand how you make yourself look.

My point anybody that disagree with anything on this board is labeled a democrat a liberal communist socialist country hater etc etc. I identify as American only Black but American first. I think the left and right both are batshit crazy

You really need an example on how at 100% capitalistic national would fail. We’d be the United States of rockerfella or Gates.. you understand this right? I thought this was your field.

You don’t have to prove anything or tear down anything. Just don’t attempt to tear down the movement and don’t support movements created in opposition of the movement. 

Anything conservative is legit to you and anything else is communist. lol 

Floyd was no sweetheart, that's for sure, but if you want to bring up history that may have caused his death, don't leave out history of the guy that killed him.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I can just about guarantee you that there are lots of cops that said "Well, kinda saw that coming".
Chauvin is apparently a cop that made plenty of bad decisions, too bad one of them ended with a death.

Because you don’t agree with some of the actions taking place within the movement doesn’t make you racist at all. Hell there’s a lot of things within the movement I don’t agree with lol
