Booker T Washington had it right. Those that exploited their own people, such as Sharpton and Jackson, did so for nothing but their own gain, and ushered an entire deceitful group in their own image doing the same thing... all of it at the amusement and beckoning of the democrat party. the very same democrat party at the root of America's 'problems' since the Civil War.
MLK, without doubt, spins in his grave as the 'black communities' leaders speak. George Washington Carver has likely disavowed his race in the Great Hereafter and has applied for membership to another. the legacy, the past- after the war between the states and especially after the immediate fallout, has vaporized and the principles those great men (Booker T Washington being at the head of that table) built as foundation has nothing but deceit built atop it by the last two generations.

this is largely moot... no, this is completely moot... no matter how we got here and no matter what direction we take as American's and as individual posters on this site, there is a problem and begging the question of its origin serves no purpose but to divide more profoundly.
a man was killed by representatives of law. the community is in revolt- a revolt not much different than what 'patriots' here speak of when discussing 'taking up arms against a tyrannical government.... this IS the 'same' government... 'we' see one side of the coin, they see the other...
the 'operative' word is 'see'......
the lack of logic from the left, and whom everyone with any integrity admits has primary ownership of the media, is bereft of consistency. they are quick to speak against otherwise 'law abiding citizens' who take a stand for their 2A rights, yet support the riots happening now. it's ALL about how it's presented- and intent to DIVIDE. the media is hard at work, and are continuing to collude with the left (democrats) to accomplish their vision of society.... one where they are supreme.
'See' is controlled by the media... ideas are planted. sides are drawn where 'they' want them.
as i said before, i don't much understand burning and looting.......... but i DO recognize the injustice of what happened there and i DO realize (regardless of what the media wants to share) the enemy is common---- the left (to include the tyrannical elected), and the media itself....
a bunch of patriots climbed aboard a vessel in the middle of the night once in Boston, and destroyed property the crown held as taxation. it's kinda silly to consider destroying that property, but we've come to celebrate it as rebellion.... yeah, there is a massive difference between that and what is happening in Minn, but... there are similarities
