Of course that is the problem. That is why white people have gone from "I am not a racist" to "Just don't riot and loot" and "peaceful protest". I do think younger generations are getting it though, but not enough of America is. Our economy at the top is still run by old white money.
That is what blacks have been saying for 50 years, and 400 years. What are we going to do about it is absolutely right.
I love how Kimberly ended her clip, " You're lucky we only want equality and not revenge."

Kumbaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Come By Here", transcribed by J. Cutting from the singing of H. Wylie, 1926
"Kum ba yah" ("Come by Here") is an African American spiritual of disputed origin, but known to be sung in the Gullah culture of the islands off South Carolina and Georgia, with ties to enslaved West Africans. The song is thought to have spread from the islands to other Southern states and the North, as well as other places in the world. The first known recording, of someone known only as H. Wylie, who sang in the Gullah dialect, was recorded by folk enthusiast Robert Winslow Gordon in 1926. It later became a standard campfire song in scouting and summer camps and enjoyed broader popularity during the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s.
The song was originally an appeal to God to come and help those in need.[1]
Not being sarcastic at all, being dead serious, and I mean it, thank you for the correction. And the word history too. But I seriously suck at spelling.
