I was a little disconcerted by your continued insistence on their "anger". It's a trope that has been used against black people when they're trying to make a valid point. I'm sure you're familiar with the Angry Black Woman.

And that's when the room got silent and white liberals quietly left the room. There was an episode of This American Life that captured it so well. It was a young lady (she sounds young but I actually don't know) from ProPublica on that time period:

Love and compassion is what white liberals, and it seems white conservatives, have always used whenever the process stagnates and violence ensues. "Please, just remember that leader of yours who was the king of love but whose life we also ended and made miserable every step of the way". I think there have been various

I think the bigger problem is the threat of death by police/angry white guy, incarceration, un- and underemployment, wage disparities, housing disparities, etc. than "the anger of a black man/woman". Our anger has never done the damage that white America has done to the black family and body.

This. I'm here for this.

I think we should thank Mr. Carter for deregulating the airline industry. Also, I just found out that some Canadian airlines send their planes to Third World countries to be fixed because it's cheaper, apparently, to fly a plane to Istanbul for maintenance than to taxi it over to Airport Rd. for a Canadian to fix.

Where I'm from, love can't bring back the 300,000 Ethiopians Italy decided to kill and whose military officers were never put on trial because we all know how much black lives matter to freedom-loving nations and her people. In Africa, the arrangements we've struck with Europeans living on the continent has always

I think it was that guy who found the body, the university employee. I mean, if you're from Baltimore and you know that park is a dumping ground for bodies, why would you go so far into the woods to take a leak?

Oh Europe, you know your best days are behind you when you look to a dead dynasty for inspiration. I'll leave you with these beautiful words by a wonderful poet, Stevie Smith.

Dead men can't speak so it's easy to superimpose all sorts of nonsense on top of them. The idea that South Africans, or any other Africans fighting European imperialism, did so through nonviolent means would offend many Africans. Eurocentric cultures celebrates their wars of independence but expect people of colour to

[A]nger is not how Mandela brought change.

How come you shorten your screed? I suppose after reading it a few times you decided to change your patronizing tone?

MLK wasn't the only one fighting for civil rights but his message of love and peace didn't cost white liberals who supported him nothing. When he started talking about open housing and poverty in communities of colour, they abandoned him. Why do you think they only teach you that mushy stuff about MLK? It's cheap and

I can hear them now: "Now that man, he was so articulate!".

The European ideals of the Enlightenment inspired the U.S.'s founding documents and ideology, and our racism is just an outgrowth of Old World social systems.

We also need green allies named Benjamin.

You shady! :P

Love. And Compassion. And Patience.

DEAD.

OK being Indian is not like being black in America. I think the OP was referring to those with dark skin that are gunned down by the police, namely black people.
