People of all races are racist. I just encountered someone on a Facebook page that I "like" that became irate over a video that was a spoof of the riots in Baltimore and how it and the people joking were "making light" of a man's death.


I tried to have a discussion with her and others. Every one of them was of a different race than I and they were racist towards "white people" and pushing #blacklivesmatter. We (people commenting) were called cave men, an image of "white supremacy bingo" was posted that was unbelievably racist, etc. One person saying "They fail to empathize because they do not recognize our humanity. It's disgusting to think these folks have this job." Another said that I was racist and refusing to be human, because I made it a point to bring up all lives matter. That the problem runs far deeper than a police problem, that society has deeper problems that need to be corrected. They claim the rioters are doing good, "we out here fighting for accountability" and they are creating a civil rights movement with #blacklivesmatter. I wasn't trying to argue that black lives don't matter, never once did I say that. I tried to argue that the criminals that were burning down buildings, looting from innocent businesses, destroying innocent people's property, were NOT part of a civil rights movement. They were NOT fighting for any accountability or protesting. They were taking advantage of a man's death in order to gain for themselves. It was nothing but an excuse for many to be a criminal. That's not protesting and that's not a positive for anyone.


She won't recognize how bad black on black crime, black on black shootings, black on black homicides are. That's not a problem to her, it's almost like that's "okay" and ignored. Why? I can't comprehend it. Maybe I come off wrong, maybe I'm misspeaking. I can't wrap my mind on how someone can be so hateful, blatantly racist, and blame it all on "white people" for their problems.


This is a Dispatcher page and all the people arguing were dispatchers. The hate I saw come from some of the people there was sad.


It ended with "White people love laughing at our pain. They are incapable of empathy because we are not human to them."


It makes me sad.
