Well what's sad is this stuff with the police going on in the US has totally hamstrung cops who are out there just doing their job. Now when they're being shot at and fire back, you're going to have idiots whining about police brutality. BLM 3 years ago were all over them for shooting a guy who was shooting at them. When they showed them the video of the guy shooting at them, BLM literally said "you still shouldn't have shot him," meaning it's okay for criminals to shoot at the police but they cannot shoot back, that would be racist.

There are a lot of bad cops out there as we have seen the last two weeks but there are mostly good cops and it really sucks to be them right now.

They say whites are not doing enough to apologize for other whites. That's a big burden to place upon an entire class of complexion. But I don't think think police, and specifically police unions, are doing enough to self regulate. "A few bad apples" is tacit, "[we're OK with] a few bad apples". Besides, whites burned down a Wendy's, I think we're holding up our end of the bargain. I expect more from the ranks.

Why do "whites" have to apologize for other "whites?" That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I've never done anything to anyone, have treated everyone the same and am not going to apologize for somethign I have zero do with, nor should anyone else. That's literally the same as assuming all blacks steal and commit crimes. Lumping everyone from one race into something, it's just dumb.

Im not saying that, but people like this are https://www.thedailyworld.com/opinion/dahleen-glanton-white-america-if-you-want-to-know-whos-responsible-for-racism-look-in-the-mirror/

It's not so much that you're obligated to cover for other white people, its just that if you say and do nothing, it comes across as though you don't give a shit. I for one, don't want my true feeling about it, that I do give a shit, to go misinterpreted.

I do give a shit however I'm not going to protest or riot or block highways. There's plenty of people doing that.

Because someone isn't out there protesting doesn't mean they don't care. It's careless for people to make that claim.

There's no difference in that than saying "if you don't give money to BLM than you're a racist."

People can be on the right side and not go out and physically do anything or give money or do anything. I personally have never done anything to hurt anyone. I think being a good person in general is good. I don't need to block people from going to work on a highway to show my support.

At what point does it become OK to actually not give a shit about the endless train wreck that is the "black community"?? 60 frigging years of coddling, whites apologizing for their atrocious behavior, the percentages of crimes being committed by them going up and up and up year after year. They're doing this shit to themselves and it's on the back of whites to apologize for it?? Nah, not me.
