Dear Julia. The things you think are happening are not happening. You are being manipulated. So are thousands of others. If you don't run from cops, don't resist arrest and keep your hands on the damn wheel, fewer bad things happen. If you deal heroin, bad things may happen, too.

Julia, you are taking anecdotal evidence and drawing false conclusions that do not have any evidence or data to back it. If one black guy rushes a cop in his car in Missouri and dies, it has absolutely no relation to how cops treat black people. It has 100% to do with how cops treat guys who rush cops and ignore police orders. We don't know all that happened in Baltimore, but the guy was a menace to others and to himself and probably did something that led to an unfortunate situation. Had he not been arrested 18 times and acted like a fool, he'd probably be alive.

There is no excuse for blacks to do what they did in Baltimore, besides maybe stupidity.

Another drama queen. Respect is mutual, honey. You show it, you get it.

Dear Black American Men,

Stop killing one other, stop stealing from one another, and stop abandoning your bastard children.

That would solve 90% of Black America’s problems.

I’m sorry but everyone has their cross to bear and no group or members of a group are exempt. If you want to talk about the legacy of slavery, we’ll also have to speak of the 600,000 soldiers’ lives snuffed out in a war over its termination. If you want to talk about racial privilege, then we have to get to affirmative action. If you want to talk about economic deprivation, we can talk about the enormous taxes many of us pay to support a very substantial number of the people who live in Baltimore through welfare, food stamps, free medical care, etc. some of which is deserved and needed, some of which is not. If you want to talk about hurt, talk to the families of Vietnam vets who were killed or severely wounded and who were stomped on by the left — 88 percent of our casualties were white (this not in the slightest to disparage the many black men who fought very well in the war but the percentage of black casualties was actually LESS of their percentage of the population than that of Caucasian and Hispanic background soldiers). In conclusion, if you want to waste your life whining, you would have plenty of company if the rest of us decide to blame everyone else for our problems, wallow in it, and never make any progress as adult men and women citizens of the only country on earth that tries to give the best and most affordable health care, human rights, and path to advancement if you will work for it.

I hear someone that thinks that all blacks should believe and act the same way.

Dear Julia:

Please let me tell you what I hear:

I hear Marxist boilerplate;

I hear threats;

I hear black bigotry and racism;

I hear incitement to riot;

I hear Leftist stupidity;

And I’m ignoring you.

What do they want? I’m sure they don’t know themselves.

These people will always be unhappy. They are a minority group in the US. Would they be any better off if they lived in a country where they are in the majority? Perhaps we’ll never know.

There are thousands of people who risk their lives trying to come to America each year (most illegally). If America is such a horrible place...why do these people come?

Anyone who is unhappy in America should be free to emigrate to any other country. If these people want to return to Africa, where they will have a chance to be in the majority, then I think the US government should support them.

I would support a resettlement program for anyone who is unhappy in the US, and wants to return to the country of their ethnic roots. And this is just not for blacks - it can be for anyone.

I would support the government paying for the people not only for the cost of moving to the country of their choice, but also to subsidize them while living there. These people, receiving a subsidy from the US, would probable live at a higher standard then most others in their new country. With the money supplied by the US, they would also help the local economy in ways that “foreign aid” never could.

I don't really care what she hears, nor what she feels.

I just want to be able to walk the streets without being targeted.

A few years later: Go on a road trip with your mom. Refuse to get out of the car at a gas station in the boondocks, because you are sure the person with the Confederate flag bumper sticker is going to realize your white mother married a black man and hurt her (and you too, being the byproduct of said union). He’s carrying a rifle on a gun rack. Now even more terrifying.

Wait, what?!

Juila ? SHUT THE HELL UP AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR !

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WHITE PRIVIAGE !

I grew up in Baltimore don’t tell me that I don’t see what’s going on.

BLACK PRIVIAGE IS THE ABILITY TO KEEP BLAMING WHITEY FOR YOUR OWN DAMN FAULTS , TO BE ABLE TO COMMIT CRIMES AND GET AWAY WITH IT AMD GET OFF SCOTT FREE !

“I hear hopelessness

I hear oppression

I hear pain

I hear internalized oppression

I hear despair

I hear anger

I hear poverty”

I see laziness, I see druggies and drunks, I see lawless thugs (murderers, rapists, thieves) I see folks on welfare, section 8, free phones, free school lunches, racists, I see folks dependent on gov’t. who have refused to elevate themselves, I see folks who are a complete drain on society.

I read the whole piece - and I really do have sympathy for Julia Blount . She's a true victim of the black underclass culture. She's being judged based on THEIR horrible choices - not her choices. None of the thugs in Baltimore - none of the rioters there or drug dealers OR scammers are 'her'. But she carries their choices in the tint on her skin...

The same can be said of the young black women who's business was burned and was crying in the street. And of the older black vet being interviewed - saying he was 'an American'... a good black man who had served his country with pride and honor.

The black community is filled with these types too. Honorable good people who have been steam rolled by the black underclass culture.

So, Julia Blount you do have my apology for my earlier snarky comment about graduating from Princeton... Sometimes I need to read first and comment later.

“White Privilege” is the cry of those who refuse to adopt the cultural values and behaviors that lead to the prosperity and success they envy.

Same thing as has happened to the Jews throughout history.
