(17,997 posts)But I resent the little message about Black Lives Matter. Yes, white people are also harassed and killed by cops. There's a story about a white guy that had aspergers that was beaten bloody for hours by cops before he was finally killed. Along with other horrific stories, mostly poor and/or mentally disabled.
That doesn't change the fact that people of color, especially black people, are killed by cops or jailers in unprecedented numbers. It's epidemic in the US. Black Lives Matter is bringing attention to all of the horror. Horrors that are in a great majority put upon the black community.
If anyone thinks that the war on minorities and on women won't eventually encompass all of the 99%, you're sadly mistaken
