I never heard anyone say that Black Lives Don't Matter.

Have you ever seen Blacks treated as if their lives don't matter? Why are you so opposed to striving for racial equality?

He doesn't think inequality exists?

Obviously.

tbomike, I'll gladly get into with you if you want. what is your silly little point? Your article tells the story of some scumbag who shot up a bunch of cops, and one died. I hope he gets life in prison or the death penalty, I don't care which one. Criminals should be punished according to the law. Your turn.

Seriously dude? You can't figure out who I was taking a shot at. That a scumbag white guy shot cops and killed one and not a word from certain people on the whipping post. And you think I would be somehow taking a shot at you? Trust me, I fully support the concept of black lives matter.

Sorry, I thought you were saying the BLM supporters were giving a pass to that person. My apologies. I misunderstood you.

No problem. I know I stuck it in here with little context.

No need to go back to the 1960's. Just look at the recent past:

Really? Wow, nice, you must have always hung around pretty hip folks. That's nothing! Mild compared to stuff I've heard throughout my life. Mild compared to things I've said myself, back when I didn't know better. Worse I knew better but said stuff anyway. Got a John Bircher uncle used to say way worse things than that, and things you hear, here and there, growing up, visiting your folks in a small town in the South. Horrible jokes I said myself as a white youngster. Well the John Birch uncle was in Northern California, but heard plenty in the South too. And in the North too, come to think of it. Wherever white folk felt comfortable expressing their view of other races, or when the subject would come up. Like my grand-dad commenting when I was watching the basketball game "Lotta mud coming to the Northwest, don't ya think", and so on. Nicest, fairest guy you could ever know, but not a big fan of non-whites. My uncle, when there was some riot or something on the radio "Oughta tie off their tubes." His wife : "Oh honey don't say that in front of the kids!" Me: "What are tubes, Unka Dick?"

So... I figure that's a pretty normal white childhood. You sure you never heard anyone say Black Lives Don't Matter, or something like it? You must have grown up in a hippie commune- about the only place a white person could grow up and not get infected with this poison.

This is painfully honest and insightful Brer Rabbit. You've illuminated the big picture. If folks can't get it from your honest admission, an insight that certainly applies to me and every kid I knew growing up in Middle Georgia, than they just aren't going to get it.

Yes. It is so deeply ingrained into our society that many people can't even see it. It's "normal".

Can anyone offer an explanation why the black Milwaukee community is rallying around a thug and criminal?

Because all the blacks in Milwaukee are thugs and criminals. Come on just say it, don't beat around the bush like that.

They are just like Trump supporters. Their angst is understandable but they're rallying around the wrong person.

I dont believe that and not saying there are not real problems in the ghettoes but in this case BLM should give the police more latitude and not start marching and stirring up the low information voters with police misconduct accusations.

Right. How dare they. You know, you can substitute "low info voters" for "black Milwaukee community" all you want but we know what you really mean.

I am all for them protesting all day all nite if they choose. You are whitewashing the violence, the destruction of peoperty, the racist language, the anti police rhetoric in this wacky over reaction to one less gang banger.

No, I'm not whitewashing (interesting choice of words) anything. I'm calling out your racist words and tone in this thread.

Why do you think they are doing it? There must be a reason. What do you think it is?

I'm confused as to why you brought Trump voters into this conversation?

Cant discuss without the usual accusations. Too bad. Another sign how far apart any resolution is.

Yeah, like this beaut: "There would be no rioting if cnnn and msnbc stay away and dont instigate the crowds into false machismo because Don Lemon is down there asking dumb questions and Chris Hayes is sniffing blm saggy pants."

Them folks wouldn't be gettin' all riled up if the media wasn't doin' it. We all know them folks can't do no thinkin' on their own. Goober'll tells ya.

Don't feel defensive, it's perfectly normal to be a racist. There are certainly varying degrees, but everyone is a racist to some extent, old evolutionary adaptation to detect threats to the family group. Like baboons with pink *sses trying to kill baboons with purple *sses, that kind of thing.

It might even be racist to pick on people for whom racism is an important part of their ethnic heritage.

As Brendan Gleeson said in the film The Guard:

"I'm Irish, sure! Racism is part of my culture!"

Goober, Brer is right. It's not all one way or the other. There are shades of grey and a large degree scale. Nobody is saying you are on the far end like the KKK. Despite your issues, I wouldn't assume you dislike somebody solely because of their race. With that being said, you do seem to be slightly higher on the scale than the average American. If you are serious about anything, you might want to consider it being true if more than one person is pointing it out, and just try to figure out why it is that way for you.

No white person is safe.

Well there you have it, Trump's entire message boiled down to 5 words. I'll give you credit for coming right out and saying it though, as opposed to the dog whistle tactics that Trump has been using.

I doubt he'll chime in. It's too difficult for him to consider being somewhere on the racist scale. Everyone else can admit it, except for Goober.
