It's nice to meet people that share my views.

when I started reading this I thought great, here's another black guy whose thoughtful statement on this subject my white friends on FB will appropriate for themselves to prove the validity of their point of, why are we paying SO much attention to these unarmed people who the police keep shooting? why aren't all the…

"My sources tell me that Roger Goodell is extremely upset about Hawkins action, and will press the Browns to suspend him indefinitely. The reason is that it makes Roger upset that a player should express an opinion about anything other than the grand game of football. HAIL ROGER!"—Peter King

"To clarify, I utterly respect and appreciate every police officer that protects and serves all of us with honesty, integrity and the right way. And I don't think those kind of officers should be offended by what I did."

I'm sure that officer understands, wherever he is.

This is absolutely disgusting.

The better question is, can Chuck Johnson prove he DIDN'T shit on the floor? Multiple times?

You may not accuse me of racism, sexism, blah blah-ish without asking me for my point of view first. I may or may not choose to give it to you.

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

It's a wonder that they still know how to breathe.

Albert, thank you for an incredibly well-written piece. I'm half black and half white, from St. Louis, and was living in NYC when Garner was murdered. You can't imagine how infuriating, perplexing, frustrating, painful, etc. this summer and fall have been for me and my closest family and friends - losing plenty of the…

This issue is complex, but it's also much more pervasive and far-reaching than people like to recognize. That's the point of the piece, making it not pointless. As for the style, I suppose that's your opinion.

Actually, no. If you look at many, many studies over the year of violence and arrests and killings by officers, this narrative really holds up. You're just willfully ignoring the facts to continue in your own bubble.

Dear White America,

he made your dumb ass think for a few seconds at least

If you're a white person who doesn't brutalize people of color, maybe just bask in that knowledge of your goodness and quit playing the fucking martyr and trying to make it All About You when p.o.c. are hurting.

I agree with Albert on every point he's made and have been vocal in saying similar things around black friends and black strangers, and have not had anything close to a reaction that you're describing.

You are describing a very small percentage of people fighting for that cause. I have, for example, never met a white person who was met with hostility while protesting alongside people of color against police brutality. From fellow protestors that is, the police were obviously hostile.

He better keep an eye on Johnny Football as well apparently.

Murray and Clay are still the same guys there were in college, only instead of sharing Carries they're sharing Ginas.
