That protest was “undoubtedly” about the 10 blacks shot by other blacks on the South and West sides of Chicago between Christmas eve and noon on Christmas.

[Texas Eagle]

That's 500 people?

Must've used Common Core math.

[TigersEye]

Given the picture I guess we could call them layabouts. /s

Blacks use more labels than you can imagine.
Blue Gummer, High Yellow, Redbone

Shows insecurity on their part. I don’t care how people label me.

Pedal to the metal, man.

We all must be pigeonholed in the name of diversity!

Heaven forbid we should all be the same.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Anybody notice anything unusual about that picture?

Neither do I.

My black friend says those in the inner city are basically trapped, they need to get out of there, it be LA, Baltimore, Chicago, they need to get out to open spaces. I agree, the biggest trap is the inner city.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Just another race baitor popping off to keep the “struggle” alive.

What does The N Double A C P have to say about this?

[Nepeta]

One thing they are not is African, no matter how much the crazies among them blather about Afrocentricity, grafted snakes, melanin deficient glacier monkeys, etc.

...no more than I am a European.

"whites “will react more negatively” toward “Blacks” than toward “African-Americans"

With all due respect:
BU** S#!T.

Absolutely none of my black (or south of the border American) friends or acquaintances use either 'African American" or "People of color" (or "Hispanic")...there's lots of black and lots of white, but nary a single "English American" (or "Brown") in the mix.

If media, politicians, and academia got out of the way maybe we mere mortals could make some progress.

[Vendome]

All right.

Imuh gonna preach about being a disenfranchised Black man.

No really, I am.

At 7 years old my real father gave me up forever and my Dad adooted me.

The result?

Well, it should be pointed out, I was born a poor Black child.

That’s right. When I was born my last name was Black, as my father was and his father was and so forth.

But, when I adopted I was robbed of my Black identity forever.

On birth certificate is a new last name and on line 11 it says my birth certificate is “amended” and “sealed”.

WTF for? Why should it be sealed?

It’s not like I haven’t known my real father my entire life, my uncle, my aunt, my cousins, grandma and grandpa.

They were Black. I no longer am and can never reclaim my heritage.

I will forever be known by the last name given me when I was seven.

So these whack jobs can STFU about racism.

I was born Black and because of the law, can never reclaim my rightful heritage!!!!

Thought it's a national spectacle, the reason this movement isn't getting any traction with enough relevant people who care is that there's no leering white rednecks pouring sugar over well-dressed black kids at a 'whites-only' luncheon counter.

These die-ins, voicing revolutionary communist agitprop like 'making Imperialist whites uncomfortable', and launching fireworks at police officers on the scene of an officer-involved shooting against an armed criminal are doing damage to their cause. The vocal ones who seem to get face time in front of a the teevee/webstream cameras now seem to support any criminal martyr dying for 'the cause' no matter what.

The agitationists (I just made that word up) don't speak for everyone -- and neither can I -- but I'm starting to hear from folks I deal with who are liberal-assed that even they're getting sick of these people and their antics.

[Rodamala]

"Black" should be perfectly fine since many of the rioters are actually acting like... n...

...evermind.
