Look, it is not a race thing to protest. It is about systematic execution of black men at the hands of law enforcement, vigilantes, or just angry insecure white men. Anyone who thinks that is wrong is welcome to join the protest.
Systematic execution of black men? Back that up with some links please. The majority of black men are killed by other black men.
All of those adjectives are true. If that is offensive to you... the truth normally does that.
People aren't protesting over this one incident. They are protesting the systematic execution of black males in this country.
Your entire argument is based on a strawman argument and a healthy dose of respectability politics.
Thousands of whites have killed other whites in cities across the United States, yet no one mentions this by mainstream media?
You are missing the point. This is about systematic execution of black males by a slanted criminal justice system. Black on black violence is a separate. It is used to deflect accountability.
What about all the beatings and killings that blacks inflicted on non-blacks and non-whites like Asians? Does that count as black racism against others? Why are blacks so sensitive to police beating and killing them when many blacks systematically target Asians for robbery and killing because the Asians are easy targets? Fix your own problems before you blame others. Many Asians, I am sure, have absolutely no sympathies for thugs like Michael Brown.
These violent protests and destruction are bringing racism back. I have heard the "N-word" and more talk about the ghetto dwellers in the past few months than I have in my entire life. Great work protestors........you are doing a fine job of reviving racism.
The majority of white men are killed by other white men. What is your point?!

No, it does not.
You have to prove racial motivation. Considering blacks are more likely to encounter whites than other blacks, they have a higher rate of crime towards whites than vice versa. The average white person rarely comes in contact with blacks.
If a white person with generational history in this country doesn't have black friends or even associates they can talk to about things that interest them, then it's because they don't want to.
Anyway, in real life I don't discuss race issues with white AMERICANS, because they like to play stupid or have selective amnesia about things.
But I will talk about it with foreign born whites or non-white groups like Asians, Hispanics, Samoans, et.
We all share the same "history" of European invasion, brutality, massacres, and colonialism.
This just isn't a healthy way to think. I have several black friends, but OP may not. Maybe she lives in Phoenix or Utah?
Mindfvcking European history is non-productive anyway. I'm of Irish and Greek heritage. We had nothing to do with the slave trade and didn't even arrive in this country until that was long over.
Disliking, immediately mistrusting , and questioning every motive of a person based on the color of their skin is racism. You are racist.
I'm glad I don't feel that way. I would have missed out on meeting a bunch of really cool people.

You have reading comprehension problems. We aren't talking about white men.
The majority of black men are being killed by other black men.
YOU said, "systematic execution of black men at the hands of law enforcement, vigilantes, or just angry insecure white men"
Black men are not being executed systematically by law enforcement, vigilantes, or angry white men. They are being executed by other black men.
There average white person rarely comes in contact with blacks? Where do you live that this is true?

I suggest you understand what you are ranting about before you repeat it.
