Roughly 20% of US veterans are African American.

These men and women are not ok with the treason, and subversion of the Constitution.

BLM is a different thing than black America. There are black people who are great: veterans, patriots, and all that. BLM seems to mostly be loud mouth leftie assholes, black supremacists, black separatists, and violent revolutionaries. This isn't based on the MSM, this is based on reading their own site's about/philosophy pages, reading or watching interviews with BLM leadership, and reading articles written by BLM leadership.

You can hate BLM, the organization, without discounting the message that black lives matter.

Many (probably most) of the original BLM leadership was murdered a few years ago.

The organization was probably hijacked afterwards by Soros and others.

the message that black lives matter.

The core message of BLM about black Americans being victimised by the cops and the system is wrong.

Yes they get killed at 2.5 times the rate white Americans do, but they get arrested at 5x the rate. Which means they get killed at a lower rate per arrest than white people do.

It's entirely down to the higher black arrest rate. Which is down to offending, not racism in police arrests. If you look at the homicide arrests and convictions they are about 7x higher than white, I can't see how police stop and search could possibly affect homicide arrests. You don't find a corpse stashed in someone's hoody in a stop and search.

As for the social inequality; there are black immigrant groups, Ghanian and Nigerian, that have a significantly higher pa gross income than white Americans do. There are plentiful examples of other non white East and South Asian groups with higher pa earnings.

The American system being racist enough to suppress the life outcomes of minorities is absolute bullshit. The only colour anyone cares about in America is green.
