BLM Violent Hate Group

[The Viking]

I sincerely hope that's not the case. But I have to say, in my 62 years, I've never seen anything quite like this, where radical mobs agitated the murdering of police officers.

Oh please sir explain what exactly black Americans should do? While we get murdered, and have our deaths justified because we weren't "respectful" enough, weren't "quiet" enough", we looked "suspicious". Please tell us exactly what we should do when men,women, and children are seen as threatening for breathing the same air in the vicinity of white people. What exactly should we do when the police are called because we walk about our own neighborhoods? What exactly should we do when anything in our hands could be construed as a weapon? What exactly should we do when so much as lifting our arms is "reaching for a weapon"? What exactly should we do when our children are seen as "older" and more "threatening", though they look no different than other children? What exactly should we do when we can't call for help in an emergency because the police may not see a person in need of help but a criminal? Oh please tell me exactly how should we air our grievances in ways the rest of America will not ignore or rationalize as "whining", "playing the race card", or "being distruptive"? I want here your suggestions.

Sadly, I don't have any suggestions about what to do. There isn't such a problem in the UK and I've obviously had no experience of that myself being a white male, but I have the greatest of sympathy for the current climate. Don't confuse that with pity; that's not at all what I am inferring.

But I know what I wouldn't do.

I wouldn't find and kill as many police officers as possible. I wouldn't campaign so belligerently against the police across the country so as to seemingly condone attacks on those forces. I wouldn't be throwing rebar and concrete blocks off of bridges onto police officers below. I wouldn't be making this a 'with us or against us' argument.

The divisions between races in American are now, sadly, an endemic and ingrained part of the cultural fabric.

The culture of violence that is now also rearing its head is going to present the perfect storm sooner or later. And for that, I do pity the US.

It's deeply upsetting to see how such a promising beacon of multiculturalism has become such a confused and angry place.

And, as I would hope you would understand, I meant no offence. Like I say, I have no understanding of what you go through.
