Regardless of what this guys views were. It is sad to see anyone kill themselves. For anyone to think that the only choice they have is death.. is sad


Over 100 military active duty and veteran suicides every day, but 1 from the BLM movement and it makes national press?

Go figure! explode


I'm sure if they killed themselves in the same manner(in front of government property} , the press would be all over that too

So over 36,000 service personnel killing themselves every year just isn't news worthy in your opinion because they don't do it in public or at a govt building? Gee..... I'll have to take that up with the vets at my support group and tell them they're doing it all wrong!

They need to make a spectacle to matter!

One question that tends to confuse me.....

For a race of people who claim to want equality why do they always tend to set themselves apart from others?

For instance....

NAACP, Black Lives Matter, The National Black Caucus (this one especially.... they are a group within a govt supposedly representing ALL people!)

How can you claim equality to be a goal you wish to accomplish when you set yourself apart from it in the 1st place?




I think the confusion lies in the belief that blacks separated THEMSELVES

'blacks just got tired of being separated, waiting to be included, and turned to each other instead

simple


You mean like the black panthers and the KKK? laugh


were kkk members and their families being systemically excluded and oppressed?

NO?

did the black panthers ride around in disguises burning folks property and hanging them?

no?

no comparison




i guess the black panthers didn't stand on street corners screeching about killing white babies?

those are the new black panthers, and they don't want to be included, that would be ONE example separate from all other groups mentioned here
