    Message to BLM

    And other similar activist and types.

    If you want what you think white people have then do what you know white people do. How could this not be clear?

    Work hard, stay marreid if you can and stay a parent even when you can't , keep your nose as clean as you can, support your spouse's education and vice versa, don't resist cops, don't have kids with more than two people, work hard and long paying your dues early on in your career, control your temper, stay within ten miles of the speed limit and keep your drugs and hard drinking away from your kids, honor your mogonomy ,be home at night and put your kids above all else.
    Do these things and "priviledge" will come. Not a mansion in the hills just a good life warts and all. BLM offers you nothing but the ghetto. Period.

    You do understand that is just your White Privilege talking?

    That is why you need to Shut Up because you can't possibly understand the black experience.

    That’s pretty simplistic and naive. While advocating for a strong work ethic and a stable family is all well and good, it ignores the complexities of systemic racism, the cycle of poverty and an entrenched system that is an uneven playing field for marginalized people, minorities and people of colour. It’s like a rich person who inherited wealth telling poor people to just be rich.

    Certainly there are issues in the black community that need addressing, but simply telling people to be better is an unrealistic solution. If people think it’s as simple as this, they don’t actually understand the problem.

    Oh Gawd......"systemic racism" there was no such thing, until the left invented it.

    Sure....you don’t experience it, so it obviously doesn’t exist. Sort of like global warming doesn’t exist because it’s cold out today.

    I don’t know what it is with some conservatives. They think any criticism of America or the acknowledgment of real problems means you hate America. I think it’s because many conservatives see the world in absolutes. Everything is black and white. Right or wrong. They seem to fear ambiguity or complexities.

    Ironically, many conservatives will tell us that systemic racism doesn’t exist. And in the same breath tell us that white Christian conservatives are the real victims of oppression. It’s sort hilarious in a sad way.

    With Kentucky's governor offering free health care for blacks only and Oakland providing personal income to everyone except whites, it sounds more like blacks are the biggest beneficiaries of racist policies.
