Yep, for centuries white people in America have been telling black people in America to just be happy and suppress their anger and sorrow. Heaven forbid a black person express a felt emotion that might upset a white person. No slaveholder wants a mopey slave serving their juleps.

So people who disagree with police brutality do not deserve police protection? Way to demonstrate that “few bad apples" theory.

Hey, those cops are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities! They shouldn’t have to put up with reasonable demands to respect black people!

It’s interesting that conservatives go right to assuming he meant oppression or killing them (projection much?). Even more so considering that WBC is a racket that just happens to use religion to drive its litigation factory.

Okay...?

“Police have problems but they are NOT targeting blacks specifically.”

Ask Tamir Rice about that.

We get it you hate black people.

What? I need to google “black man shot while following police directions” for you?

How about these confrontational people not being shot?

You are unbelievably naive. What you just said is demonstradably false.

And you sound like a bitch. Your point?

This is false. The idea that the victims just acted incorrectly, besides being an example of victim blaming, is incorrect.

And there are 5x more white people in the country. So the statistic you just cited means black people are almost 3x more likely to be shot by the police.

Something shady like reaching for your wallet when you were told to get your identification out?

Except for the ones that comply, and get shot anyway. It happens, so don’t say it’s because they’re being confrontational.

How does the author relaying how he feels as a POC in today’s climate qualify as “race baiting”? Saying you feel uncomfortable and worry that other people might be suspicious of you, even though you’re doing something innocuous, really doesn’t seem like he’s trying to start a flame war.

It’s like you aren’t paying attention to anything.

Youre underestimating how quickly old white people pick up the phone to call the cops

You are seriously underestimating what black people feel afraid of.
