But like I was saying, if you think the racist history of America has nothing to do with the condition of blacks in America your delusional. The end I am sure it does have some relevance. But the solution does not lie in burning cities and tearing down statues. Both are simply symbolic and do not address the problem. If you believe that ultimately you are going to have to do it yourselves, I think you are going about it wrong. Quote

But like I was saying, if you think the racist history of America has nothing to do with the condition of blacks in America your delusional. The end I think that history has something to do with it but not as much as you do. I would think the energies devoted to looting, rioting, etc would be much more productive if directed elsewhere. Additionally, those tactics are, at some point, going to cause an uprising from the silent majority who, to this point, have been guilted out of responding to anything. There are far far more "silent majority" members than you can imagine. Once their breaking point is hit, katy bar the door. Perpetuating the belief to the younger generation that "whitey is out to get you" does not improve their circumstances and suggests to them that their "plight" is inescapable for that reason. Plenty of people have already proven that theory wrong( Condoleeza Rice, Ben Carson, Robert Johnson,etc.etc.) but they are always criticized and vilified by the majority of those who speak for the black community. Do you honestly believe that a policeman, who has a fear of losing his job, ought to avoid interaction with a criminal because of his skin color? Will that make the city or state or country safer? There are going to be more deaths of black men shot by policemen just as there are going to me more deaths of whites, hispanics, Asians, etc. BLM and riots will NOT change that FACT. Isn't a better solution to try to find a way to keep people from putting themselves in positions that force them to interact with peace officers? Solutions ought to be forward looking rather than the opposite. Quote

Although I don’t agree with it, I understand it. The burning and tearing down isn’t about improving our condition but more about protesting police brutality. More like rioting then protesting but still Quote

Realville Posted September 7, 2020 Report Posted September 7, 2020 None of this makes the National News because it doesn’t fit the narrative. But if a black thug criminal gets shot by a white policeman it’s wall to wall news for weeks. Wake Up. This country is being played an stupid people are buying into it. SMH baddog 1 Quote

stevenash Posted September 7, 2020 Author Report Posted September 7, 2020 SETX fan- the last couple of posts represent my theory that suggests that many of the silent majority are getting fed up and, though very silent in the past, are unlikely to remain that way. Ty Cobb 1 Quote
