Black lives matter

[Brian37]

No comment but this: go, blacks of America. Skin color is just an illusion.
Take back what is yours; but don't kill and plunder.
May Trump be the end of the terror under white skin.

Skin color is not an illusion. Humans have different skin tones. The "illusion" is that majorities worldwide falsely attach their skin tone to their culture/politics/geography/religion.

Blacks have gotten the short end of the economic/justice stick for 400 years. And that is something America has to face.

But please, how well do you think I would be treated in Saudi Arabia being pasty white and being an atheist?


I am white, but for you to blame white 100% of the white population of America based on skin color is hypocrisy. I fucking hate Trump as much as you do, and I am white. And if you must know, my best friend of 16 some odd years, was raised poor and white and religious. He is now a liberal and hates Trump as much as you and I do. I would suggest you also look up Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a dark skinned X Muslim, who lived in Saudi Arabia and was threatened with death for speaking out against Islamic oppression. 


And I have said many times here, while I criticize any and all religions, and can be quite blunt about it. It still remains, while you would risk having a harder time living in America, we are by comparison  far more liberal and pluralistic than Saudi Arabia.

So yea, I am with you in condemning racism and police brutality. But please. In Saudi Arabia the mere mention of saying "Allah does not exist" can get even those born there murdered by a state or  a mob.


America has had a horrible history of racism, and not just of blacks, but Native Americans, Japanese, Chinese,  women, and gays. But we are far better set up with our system of government, to at least try to improve and while it should not have taken Floyd to die, the pluralistic reaction to his death is a beacon of hope. 

Your theocracy still has a far longer road to go.

Yes, America has it's blights and baggage and horrors. But we are still, with all our stains still ahead of closed states like yours and Iran or North Korea or China for that matter.

And the sane here are doing our level best to prevent the orange fuckface from getting another 4 years.
