The action starts at 15:00 minutes.
I was living in SoCal when that happened. If you think there wasn't an uproar and outcry, that's only because you want to support your own preconceived notions. There was a large hue-and-cry, and the news coverage of Thomas's death was intensive.
Insinuating that it wasn't covered is self-serving and ignorant. I'd say "you should be better than that" -- but I already know that you aren't.

Well, it was the same white privilege that managed to raise millions for famine relief in Ethiopia, which was started by two white dudes. Then America followed suit, because at the end of the day, as long as they are selling millions of records and being thousands of miles away, why should they care. If it wasn't for Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, Stevie Wonder and others besides would NOT have even known about the famine simply because they were living in a bubble.
Once again speaking out of ignorance. The famine had been covered here since September of that year, long before Geldof et al put together "Feed the World".

However, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Indians have all had to pay to get to the United States and work hard for what they have. Perhaps it is time for the black community to stop blaming the whites, and look at the state of their own communities and take a big look at other communities, how they function, how they deal with problems in a positive way and do something about it.
You simply don't get it. The racism in America against blacks is of a different character than it is against any other race because of 300 years of chattel slavery.
You, who have never been here, keep running your mouth about what black Americans should do, when you clearly don't even know enough American history to have an intelligent conversation.

No, you're racist because in any thread that discusses race, you duly show up, trotting out your tired thoughts, formed as they are in the ignorance of the racial issues of the country under discussion, and bleating to the world that it's only the blacks who are inferior. That is why I think you're a racist cunt.
You walk like a duck, Robert. You talk like a duck. You swim in the same waters as ducks. You obviously sup the same food, metaphorically speaking. Yet here you are, insisting you're a cardinal.
How funny you are, that you think you can cover it up. It's as obvious as the proverbial turd in the punchbowl.
