I heard you bro
Cringe
This ‘racism’ stuff really sells.
Obviously your white, or privileged because your race has never been used against you until now. White privilege must be nice
@Jade Robinson What opportunities don’t you have? You get Affirmative Action so that you can get a job over others. You get lower college entrance exams. You have your Section 8 and your EBT card. You even have midnight basketball programs.

A couple of years ago, I had a conversation with a lovely, young black man in a restaurant. I brought up the topic of profiling. He said that he’s happy to now be here in Northeast Tennessee because he was frequently harassed in Memphis for just walking down the street.
This speaks volumes
So why not ask white kids oh wait you don’t care about what they think
Nope not at all!
@Jade Robinson It figures you wouldn’t.
If the police dont get you black people (your own people) will get you!
And of course YouTube blocks my comment again. They only want you to hear ONE SIDE only.
한국 많이 사랑해주세요❤❤
Why u gotta say black teen 🤦♂️ like we clearly see the damn color 🤦♂️
But when the news media refers to their crimes they use the code word “teens.”
So why did he get shot and killed? I hope he lived a great live rip
I am so nervous if one of my family or friends go outside, I keep calling them every single minute. So the world we in now especially here in USA, we black people we’re in risk. Our kids are even nervous, we can’t go outside coz we gonna get shot. I told my siblings about Tamir Rice how he was killed coz of playing with water gun, they threw all the toys in the trash 💔😭😭 it’s sad thing. Justice for those who lost their lives. RIP GUYS😭😭💔💔💔
I can’t imagine what it would be like to walk in your shoes.😞
? You only need to be nervous going outside if you are planning to commit a crime ?
And they are brainwashed in schools now by liberal and socialist teachers
#ABLM 😢
This is really recent KNOWLEDGE that things are not as they appear.
Historically – Lincoln and the Country believed that Security came from a Homestead. It wasn’t a business, but that our Manifest Destiny was OWNING a FARM to have all the tools to raise a family.
That change into Capitalism which replaced HOMESTEADING…..
so While the Railroads were designing how to make MILLIONS of People move with FREE HOMESTEADS…. Blacks were not allowed to join in that Opportunity.
Plus the Promise of Lincoln died with Lincoln so there was NO FRESH START and that lead to BLACKS staying in town and States where they had been slaves.
This is happened over and over again
…. WWII White Vets Got House Loans
….. but very few did if they were Black
In fact there were only 2 Black Veterans in World War II that got a House Loan in Alabama EVER. (and you know there were lots of white cats that did of course.)
We’re not PAYING THEM BACK
… We’re ALLOWING our PROMISES to be Kept…. and that is why I call this a SOUL SAVING ACT on the Part of every American in the Nation.
*The CHALICE of JESUS TRUMP* is in the family history where a deeply hateful people run from conscription into a European War runs to the New World and hides killing embezzling pimping to go back to Europe where he was Hated for being a COWARD. Then comes back to the U.S. and spends teaching his kids to MAKE the THE U.S. into a GERMAN State for White Bastards like them.
Ya…well I remember growing up….
AND… WHEN WE WERE STOPPED BY THE POLICE …
THEY ASKED A QUESTION WE ANSWERED YES SIR NO SIR…
IF WE WERE ASKED TO EXIT THE VECHIEL WE DID SO IMMEDIATLY….NO QUESTIONS ASKED
WE TREATED THEM WITH RESPECT AND RECEIVED IT IN RETURN…
YOU PEOPLE NOW DAYS GIVE THEM ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS…FROM THE GET GO…
THE MINUTE YR STOPPED…YOU START MOUTHING OFF…NOT DOING WHAT YOUR TOLD
AND I DONT BLAME THEM THEIR TIRED OF ALL YOUR BULLSHIT…
YOU GUYS CARRY GUNS
THEY HAVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES….
WE DIDNT CARRY GUNS WE DIDNT NEED TOO…
WE WERE NOT TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER…
YOU GUYS KILL EACH OTHER FOR THE COLOR OF YR FRICKEN SHOE STRINGS….
HOW INTELLIGENT IS THAT
MORONS…..
yeah , Dont shoot anymore , Because We all have future !!!
