But what is this guy so angry about that he would risk losing the substantial amount of everything he's acquired? These people have been conditioned to believe that they have grievances against the society that made them and they act out in these stupid ways that don't do them any good. It's puzzling to me.

I don't know how to say this without sounding as bad as I think it sounds but it's the only way I know to say it. 

I spent two years living in and working with the black community in Jacksonville. I lived in the ghetto. The only white girl on my street and most of the time the only white girl on the job site. Day in and day out I got to hear all about the different aspects of "living black in America" and the thinly veiled derision was all out in the open. Some of them didn't mind an open conversation where I asked questions as to why they felt the way they did, or how something affected them. Others had absolutely no desire to try and educate me. I got an education regardless because they'd talk about all kinds of stuff as if I wasn't standing right there. 

Either way they were almost all tolerant of me but made it very clear I didn't belong, didn't understand, and none of them trusted a white person- period. It's a generational thing as much as it's societal. Every generation has grown up hating and not trusting the white folks, and for good reason to a degree. There is still true racism toward black folks very much alive in this country perpetrated by whites whose beliefs are also generational which means nothing will change. 

Then you have idiots like Smollet who turn the real issue into a circus and the MSM and politicians buy front row seats to cheer on his victim mentality only to be duped so hard they're having to delete tweets and walk back their initial praise for his bravery.
