    I believe there are far bigger issues in the black community than police brutality like for example 70 percent of black babies are born out of wedlock and black on black violence but something that is so rare gets all the attention and protest. I believe the reason this is the case is with the other issues blacks and liberals can't play the victim and blame the evil racist white man. This all about victim hood fueled by decades of political identity by Democrats.

    It's amazing how close you are to black organizations and their meetings. So how do you know again that they don't discuss these issues amongst themselves?

    I posted videos of Trump supporters getting physically beaten outside of his rally when people here denied it. I don't see how that has any relevance to that thread

    I didn't say they're not discussing it but lets be real for a sec. Do other issues get the same attention? Why is that?

    Ehhh I wouldn’t count associates as that is just a step above a stranger.

    How many close black friends would you say you have? By close I mean you know thing about them that aren’t obvious like ethnicity, life goals etc?

    5? 10? 50?

    I don't see how that is relevant to the point I'm trying to make. I talk to people, listen and watch with my eyes. I believe that I'm entailed to an opinion regardless of how many black besties I have.

    You are saying that it seems 42 million black people don’t care about these issues, I’m trying to establish what kind of background you have to make such conclusions about 42 million people...each of whom have their own beliefs.

    What I meant is why bigger issues aren't being addressed as much this tiny issue.

    For example, read this article. That money could have gone to the inner cities for educational purposes.

    A simple google search reveals hundreds of black organizations dedicated to fixing the very issues you have named.

    Are they making a dent in the problem, that’s up for debate.

    What isn’t up for debate is their commitment to their cause. To suggest that they don’t exist is not only academically dishonest, it’s also disingenuous.

    There are multiple organizations that have put many hours of sweat equity as well as money into these issues.

    I’m not sure why the popular narrative dismisses their efforts but they are certainly attempting to address the issues.

    I have a lot of white friends who say the biggest problem in the white community is white people deciding without any evidence that problems in the black community aren't being actively addressed.

    Because the media and everyone else cant move forward from the civil rights movement for a lot of reason ill keep to myself

    Black people watch CNN.

    When have you seen cnn be critical of liberals on a race issue

    Five police officers could get shot at a black group rally

    Oh wait that happened

    It will end badly.
