My point wasn't that the black community has millions of conservatives among them...my point was that it was a pity that MORE blacks don't see how they are being used. You dismissed my link because you don't think it matters since so few blacks think what I posted about the BLM. Every idea or movement starts with a few people...and can build from there.
That was what I was trying to say.
Isn't it also a pity that so many whites don't see how they are being used. How is Andrew being used? Who profits from Andrew's fear? Remington? Glock? Winchester? The GOP?
The Black Lives Matter movement is using people how? To promote the perverse agenda that people of color have the same rights as enshrined in the US Constitution. That de jure law does not reflect the de facto reality? How is exposing that disparate treatment fall under "using people"? Who profits from equal rights and equal treatment under the law?
They are being used...don't listen to me then....listen to another person of color:

This is the second time I posted this...it explains very well how they are being used.
As for the BLM jerks? Inciting violence (frying pigs)...inhibiting others rights....this isn't what the Constitution protects my simple friend.
Funny how the BLM can't even focus on where 99% of the problems stem from. It's not cops...thats for sure. They should try figuring out why the culture they live within is so messed up and criminal in nature.
That would be a good start.
The article to which you link explains exactly nothing. It's an opinion piece that isn't even signed by the author. What that article shows is that it's still profitable to blame and shame blacks who don't behave. You can get rich chastising bad blacks. Chris Rock certainly did it.
Call me simple again and you'll make yourself that much more wrong.
The culture that most people of color live in is the direct product of what was and is allowed by white people. Do you like that Frederick Douglas quote? Do you want to leave the black man alone? You are incapable of leaving the black man alone as we are all part of a larger system that we don't control.
You are distracted from the real problems. Your attention is being turned by the powerful so that you don't see, so that you don't even try to look.
We love to hold up a hero. Look what this person did! They came from the ghetto and now they've made it. Hooray! It's all distraction from the millions who aren't making it. It's like medals for war heroes. Look what a difference one man can make! Please ignore that this man and all of his now-dead friends would have been alive had we not started/manufactured/entered a war.
You are being used. I am being used. Choosing differently has been criminalized. In many aspects of your life you only have the illusion of choice whether you admit it or not. Example, if you have money and you don't pay your taxes you will lose your freedom.
The difference between us is that I am not fearful of individuals. I don't succumb to the divisiveness that the Right sows. I am for the acknowledgement of structural racism. And yes, that too is divisive and upsetting. It's like acknowledging cancer. This cancer in our society kills people, but the Right is fine with the death so long as they don't have to be made to see it and can profit from it.
