There still is economic and justice inequality and it is still based unfortunately on skin color. Blacks are still far more likely, for example, to get turned down on a loan. Far more likely to get passed over for a higher position on a job. Not to mention far more likely to be fined or punished more harshly for a similar crime, even traffic tickets. It isn't just about "rioting" over police interactions. MLK clearly states in both clips that white people need to listen, and hear and understand.
i am white. I fully accept that I don't have to worry about being viewed as suspect solely based on my skin color. I also accept that while I worked low wage jobs my entire life, my late mother who was also white, didn't have to worry about having "the talk" black parents have to have with their kids. When I got pulled over by police, I didn't have to worry about them shooting me.
The inequity exists OLB, so instead of trying to ignore an uncomfortable truth, face it, accept it, learn from it.
Just shut your hole and quit thinking you know what I know as truth...
Yes the scary black folk make you uncomfortable. If they would simply stop being so uppity.
