I found these two articles really good - https://www.propublica.org/article/yes-black-america-fears-the-police-heres-why and https://www.propublica.org/article/ferguson-school-segregation - I really believe improved education for all will make a huge difference.  But we really need to fix the education for poorer neighborhoods.

Found this on facebook







You probably heard that a bunch of Black Lives Matter thugs rioted in Milwaukee last night, looting businesses, vandalizing vehicles, attacking cops, targeting white people, and setting random fires throughout the city.

As we've learned, some members of the Black Lives Matter community think it a wise decision to destroy their own communities in order to protest "police brutality." Because nothing says "Black lives matter" more than burning a black neighbor to the ground.

In any case, this "protest" erupted because a black suspect had been shot and killed by cops earlier in the day. The mob of fools took to the streets without waiting for a single solitary fact to be released. They knew, quite literally, nothing. They heard that a guy was black and he was shot. That's all.

Well, now we know a little more. We know that the dead suspect is Syville Smith. You can see his picture here, peacefully pointing a gun at the camera. He was, as you can tell from the picture, a thug with a lengthy arrest record. He was shot because he fled from the police during a traffic stop, then when pursued, he turned and pointed a loaded firearm at an officer. The officer fired. Syville was killed. The officer, by the way, is black.

So, a black cop killed a black gangbanger who tried to shoot him. And that was enough to prompt a night of chaos across another major American city, yet again necessitating the mobilization of the National Guard.

This is just insane. There is no logic to any of this.

Racism? The cop was black.

Police brutality? The guy pointed a loaded gun at the cops.

Systematic oppression? It wasn't the system that caused Syville Smith to raise a firearm against the police.

No, you can't look for sanity or coherence here. These are just a bunch of imbeciles looking for an excuse to burn things. Nothing more. If they start up again tonight, I hope the police arrest every last one of them.

Enough. We have laws in this country. You can't act like an animal without consequences. Syville Smith learned that lesson yesterday.

While I think Black Lives Matter has some merit in their concerns for police brutality, there are just too many who instantly jump to conclusions as soon as they hear of a police shooting and they're the ones ruining the movement's credibility.

Just a racist movement to be honest, the funniest and most retarded comment i hear from BLM supports is its offensive to say "all lives matter" for some reason, yet they want to promote racial equality (despite chants to "Kill all cops" and "kill all white people". One youtuber i watched was sent death threats by these supporters purely for criticizing the movement for the toxic behavior It's sad that those who promote "social justice" and "tolerance" are those who spurt out hateful and intolerant comments to push their own double standards without even realizing it.

It's kind of like modern day feminism if you think about it, what started out with good intentions for good reasons has turned into a toxic man-hating and bigoted sexist movement against men and silence those with opposing points of views, they hide behind the dictionary definition but still push for inequality to persecute men; people will bring up the argument "Not all feminists" and "Not all black lives matter supports" are like this, but when so much toxic stuff comes out from the movement, it earns the negative reputation it deserves. You simply cannot claim you're all for racial and/or gender equality yet persecute and push a agenda that promotes inequality and uses violence against a demographic for your own purpose and personal gain.
