Once again living hundreds of years ago and blaming folks today, and police officers kill more white folks than black folks every year. Interesting how opportunistic losers burning it down, causing violence, rioting, looting, etc…, and used it as an opportunity to steal shoes, electronics, etc…, and sparked skyrocketing shootings and murders are condoned. All but crickets when it comes to such behavior when Nichols gets killed, however. Such hypocrisy.

I just can’t believe it’s that difficult to comprehend.

It's not. It's a conscious choice to be obtuse to avoid confronting reality.

Every person in the world has difficult ancestral history. Only the weak and stupid let it affect their daily lives. But keep looking behind you. You won't see that mack truck coming.

My family was from Scotland living under English rule. Talk about horrific. Greeks were enslaved by the Turks and forced into the Mediterranean to die. The world is filled with this type of history. I don’t still hate the English. Intelligent people move forward. The Fin’s lost half their country fighting the Russians. The list is endless.

I don’t need handouts and a president change isn’t going to change my life much although this current nutcase is horrible and has us closer to huge war than anyone in my lifetime. What an idiot.

Some people want an excuse. Some don’t need one.

Amazing contrast. All cops in both l cases were charged. Sure is interesting. The little gathering in Pittsburgh was nothing. A dozen people standing around.

Seems the sheep that do all this protesting are lost. Duh, the cops were black, duh what do we do now? Duh. They are confused I guess. It is comical and sad at the same time. The sheep are cluelessly roaming around without someone to herd them. They needed that white villain. Poor lost sheep.

The reaction was wildly different because of the Memphis police chief’s leadership? I will repeat that Birmingham did not riot or burn in 2020. Birmingham admittedly has systemic issues within the police department. Birmingham is a rough city with an industrial past similar to Pittsburgh.

What if the 5 police officers were swiftly charge because they are black? You can spin it either way right? Black people can see that playing a part of it but we do know that a bad cop is a bad cop.

Do you think this was the office first best down? This looked like a sport or game or us vs them type behavior. I did not watch the video but I did listen to some audio. The failure to treat this young man.The relaxed nature of all of the first responders was criminal.

You assume that I allow my past to impact my daily life? How stupid are you? I live life to the fullest and only a stupid fool like yourself would assume otherwise. I come from generations of black success. I also acknowledge reality and will always speak on it. I do not consider your white sensitivities or comfort.
