What are these people protesting? Slavery? It hasn't happened in decades. Living conditions? Every person has a chance to make a good life for themselves. So, what's the deal? What are all these people so upset about?

Discuss.

You're painting things with a broad brush with the title of this thread.

I'm a "minority" and certainly not trying to start a civil war.

What (I think) your thread/post is about has more to do with far leftists than race.

While a group like BLM may have started with good intentions as Bullseye talked about, they aren't perceived in that way.  The group has been hijacked by far left groups that do very bad things in their name.  While I don't necessarily agree with Bullseye about "unjust police killings of black people", I can certainly understand it.

As far as taking down and/or destroying monuments (confederate or otherwise), I don't think that it's about race (minorities) it's more about far leftists trying to erase history.  Many of these monuments have been in place for how many years?  And they are just now "offensive"?  That's not a race thing, it's a far left ideology thing.

It's no different than "atheists" being "offended" by a cross in the middle of the desert.  These "atheists" are nothing more than far left wing people.
