By trying to be "a white savior", they're basically telling blacks that they don't have the IQ to think for themselves, therfore, need to be told when they're being oppressed.. I know identity politics is the main platform to damn near every democratic talking point, but there needs to be a line drawn in the sand..

I understand that there's racism in this country, but I also understand that it will never completely go away. When our nation consists of so many different cultures and backgrounds, racism will always be around. Anyone can be a racist, black, white, yellow and brown.. But so what? I'm not going to let their hate dictate my life.

We've also have become so thin skinned as a people that most are truly afraid to speak their minds for the fear of upsetting someone.. There's lots of blame to go around..

Do all lives really matter? In my opinion, nope.. When we've gotten away from judging someone by the character in their heart and instead by their skin color, we began to crumble as a generation..

Black lives don't matter..
White lives don't matter..
Brown lives don't matter..
Yellow lives don't matter..

Charater matters..

The first bolded part is a really bad take.
A white person marching with BLM is essentially saying, "I understand you're a minority. Numerically, you need my support to influence government and society, to win an election." Now yes, white people can go too far and take over a conversation about dealing with oppression they've never personally experienced, and yes that is insulting. But simply joining a march or changing your vote is not.

The second bolded part is simply a function of massive video recording and viral/social sharing.  You still have no problem expressing your opinion here, where the names are fake and there's no cameras, and I don't either.

The first bolded part is a bad take? That's your opinion.. There's nobody in this country more racist than the white liberal and nobody will ever change my mind on that matter..

And you're right, I'm not scared to speak my mind. I wouldn't be scared to speak my mind in public either because I know in my heart, that I use common sense to live my day to day life. I'm no brute, but I'm no coward either. If you give me your opinion you better be prepared to hear mine. If that hurts your feelings, that's your fault, not mine..

And without massive video recordings, we wouldn't know what was really going on and we would have to rely on biased news outlets.. I trust my eyes and what I see.. Not what CNN or FOX tells me..
