"Dear Black America - Your demands for justice and equality is killing you."


*************Posted in the African American Group*********************



Some troll gave me an idea when he said that a letter entitled "Dear Black America" would never be allowed.

Here it is.

Dear friends in the African American community, your insistence on being treated exactly equal with white people is killing you.

If you could just get it through your thick skulls that you will be profiled and targeted by many, maybe most police, and that while you are being singled out for investigation, that you must show the utmost respect to police, because to not do so is a crime.

Well, it is not actually a crime, but if you do it you can be damn sure it will be seen as one not only by the police but by many white people.

And above all, please stop hurting the feelings of white people who dont want to be reminded of their privilege.

A Reporter Reveals How the Press Treats Hillary Clinton

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/07/reporter-reveals-how-press-treats-hillary-clinton


1.Everything, no matter how ludicrous-sounding, is worthy of a full investigation by federal agencies, Congress, the "vast right-wing conspiracy," and mainstream media outlets.
2.Every allegation, no matter how ludicrous, is believable until it can be proven completely and utterly false. And even then, it keeps a life of its own in the conservative media world.
3.The media assumes that Clinton is acting in bad faith until there's hard evidence otherwise.
4.Everything is newsworthy because the Clintons are the equivalent of America's royal family.
5.Everything she does is fake and calculated for maximum political benefit.

GOP love of Israel is kinda like some Americans sudden concern for "Black Lives Matter"

I just get this feeling that there is a similarity between the bullshit concern GOP has for Israel and Israeli's, and the concern we see by some Americans for the "Black Lives Matter" issue.

I think the "Black Lives Matter" movement is seen as a hinderance to a goal by a certain group. An annoyance, maybe, that if only those folks would be quiet we could get back on this unprecedented movement of our own.

I worry that once they get what they want, if they do, the real problems will be ignored, once again.

I can see where some would be confused by who is who in my comment.

To be blunt, I think those with "sudden concern" are some Bernie supporters, not all, but some.

And maybe it isnt sudden for most of them, maybe, but I do believe they see it as an annoyance.

I could be wrong, but that is what I am seeing.
