An Interesting Take on BLM

From “brute” to “thug:” The demonization and criminalization of unarmed Black male victims in America

That was surprisingly one of the most racist articles I've ever read. Do you honestly believe President Barack Obama was secretly a racist? Perhaps calling criminals thugs is because they were committing thuggery?!?

Over the last several years, the term “thug” has become a way to describe Black males who reject or do not rise to the standard of White America.

Firstly, this is a mixed America, so that lingo about a White America has to go, but second, anyone committing criminal acts could be consider a thug, and since you've shown over and over again with statistics, kandrathe, how blacks are committing more crimes per their white counterparts, then it makes sense they will be getting called thugs more often. This is hardly a case for demonization, and more a case of calling the kettle black (no pun intended whatsoever). This entire article tries desperately to point a finger at anything inflammatory to make it's point, going back in time to the era of slavery, to a time after when blacks in cartoons were made fun of, to showcasing contemporary instances in which blacks were victimized in America, and tries to tie it all together to current politicians and a pervading mentality against blacks in America...

This has been status quo for so long, it's what everyone is trying to fix, but it isn't the real issue! You can walk down the street and ask almost any American about their view on blacks (or any other race or sub-culture for that matter) and most Americans don't give a damn! They don't! This belief system is a false doctrine preached by our politicians who don't have an answer for the dilemma of racial disparities in education and the criminal justice system, but it does little to solve the real issues. And what are the real issues faced by this sub-culture? As I keep saying, what the girl says in the video I posted is profound, and without doubt hits the nail right on the head. I'd elaborate but, I'm so tired right now and have to get up for work in 4-hours and only writing this now because I'm on fire, lol!
