One thing we should all agree on ...

The label is determined by actions, not skin color or age.

A thug is a thug is a thug.

I would love to agree with you, but that doesn't seem to be the case from what I have witnessed.

I agree. The Imam has made every problem worse.

Of course there's a race problem. Large numbers of one race hate, distrust and fear the other race. Every race has this issue.
In many, if not all of these cop-kill-suspect incidents, the issue starts with the suspect disobeying the cop. What follows is a bad ending. If a cop does have some racism or some other issue, the opportunity is there to manifest itself. To me, it seems like some are arguing for nothing less than the option to decline being arrested. How do you solve that?

This Country has a Race Problem ... Both sides can agree on this.

... and it will be Talked About ... by any means possible.

Peacefully or through Violence, but it will be Discussed.

Take your pick,

Go ahead.

Try the violent route. Lead your people to glorious change.

There are some racial issues. And it's far more nuanced than either side admits. But no one would win from a race war, but especially not black people.

Agreed on all points.

Those who disagree don't understand what they are disagreeing to.

So, White ranchers can protest the US govt with semi-auto weapons but a Black QB cannot protest the US govt just by not standing for the national anthem.

Someone explain that to me.

Let know when the feds surround him and gun him down for not standing.

At a routine traffic stop too.

Particulars?

I don't think the label of thugs apply to age with some, just race.

I agree. To some it is all about race. From my personal view of it, I've met far more white thugs than thugs of all other races combined.

I can't explain the obsession with Kaepernik. It's simply stupid.

Particulars?

Can you recall one instance here where the term thug was referenced to a white person? Surely being the demographics this forum is made up of, there should be at least one reference that was not sarcastic or tongue in cheek.
