(2,899 posts)72. Patty Rollers were not systematically killing other people's 'property'.
No Bravenak, I don't need your glasses. I raised two sons to adulthood (now middle-age) of two different colors, but the same human race. Both were treated equally and fairly in and by the United States of America. As a very good mother, I would have been outraged if one of my sons had been treated poorly because of the color of his skin.
Race relations in this country are the worse they have been since I have lived here, which is 45 years. I have never seen anything like it. The race baiters are reasonable for deaths. And it will get worse.
White Supremacy?
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. Booker T. Washington
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. Booker T. Washington

There is no race war. A tiny minority of Americans commit any sort of murder, let alone

Snapping happens when folks have no recourse. Give people recourse to hold killer cops accountable
