White Ignorance at the Core of Racial Tensions

Maybe they should all just get on their knees and say, "Massah Zero...please massah, just a crust of bread." Do your heart proud wouldn't it?

WTF is wrong with you?

So, you don't really want the problems in the black community to be improved.

You just want to make stupid comments to whoever points out that all your wailing and moaning does nothing and never will.

Blacks demonstrating rub you the wrong way. You've said as much.

Ike identifies that with old southern culture racism, but that's a confusing elaboration. Sure points to racism though.

It's a Constitutional right to get out in the street and demonstrate how fucked up the country is. Back in the day we spent almost 10 years in the streets over the war in Vietnam. Early on we were hippie pigs...later, when people's children were coming home in boxes by the hundreds every week, the demographics of the mob had shifted pretty dramatically. Some of our former ideological enemies finally extracted their heads from out of their asses and the ones who really cared about the direction the country was headed in were out there being a pain in the ass right along side us. Getting out in the streets and creating a mess is an American tradition...and it started with the founders, who mutts like you at the time considered to be radical wailers and moaners.

You don't know shit in your hat about me or my family. My wife taught in a west side Chicago public elementary school war zone for over 15 years. She helped people in that community more than a right wingjob like you can imagine. I worked for 12 years in what started as a Clinton era welfare to work program, helping single black mom's who had been on public aid for 5 years, 8 years 10 years...get back into the workforce, find a decent place to live...and show their kids how to get it done.

WTF have you done? You don't have a fucking clue.

Somehow, expecting folks to obey the law doesn't strike me as "racist."

Somehow expecting you to give a shit it a lost cause. Perhaps blaring "Sweet Home Alabama" over your cruiser PA system in a "Black Lives Matter" march is, to a thoughtful and sensitive fella like you, demonstrating your sense of justice and brotherly love.

There's a whole bunch of stuff majorly wrong with you Zeke.

Like being right about this entire situation from the beginning?

It doesn't rub me at all. It has no effect on me at all.
It is just a waste of time is all.

Zeke, get a clue. Who made these laws? You are like those that quote from the Bible with absolute authority and when asked "so who wrote the Bible?", don't have a clue what and why I am asking.

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” ― Benjamin Franklin

The folks (black and white) raising hell in some cities in the US are seeking justice in their own way, whether you like it or not. Trying to preach law and order is not going to work. It's pent up frustration.
