I'm not saying violence is ok. I'm saying I can understand why there's a violent response.
Read up on Arpaio and his crimes. It's not difficult to find. Remind yourself that he was reelected several times despite his crimes. Come back to me on there not being institutionalized racism.
You really think the fact that there are some black judges, lawyers, sheriffs etc is an argument against there being institutionalized racism? Blacks are overrepresented in a lot of very unfortunate statistics. Institutionalized racism is for me the best and simplest explanation.
Trump ran a campaign steeped in xenophobia and won. The voters responded to his racist attitudes by giving him votes.
I'd already acknowledged in my previous post regarding your findings on Arpaio and the fact that racism still exists within the state institutions. Let you in on a little secret, everybody is targeted in some way.
Also, your disparaging of the progress that has been made in race relations, is telling, that it's all the white man's fault. Dismissive of the great strides made since the mid 60s, when back then, it was written in law, that non-whites were not equal citizens, for bus seats, drinking fountains and in just about everything.
It seems to me that in your mind, all the problems that the american black communities face can be attributed to what you deem, institutionalized racism and nothing else.
I know you will ignore all that I write and that your mind is made up, but I will say a couple of things and post a few videos, in the hope that you will perhaps try to see things a little beyond the confines of your bias.
At the time of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, just one in five black american children, were bought up in single parent households. Today, it's the reverse and just one in five children has two parents in the home. Women have exchanged a father figure to their children, for welfare. Leftist political thinking, deems it emancipation.
With no father figure, many of the young males are lost to gang culture. The two largest black gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, not including their affiliates, are numbering in excess of 120,000. The two biggest Hispanic drug running gangs in America have a combined membership closer to a quarter of a million!
In some neighbourhoods, a black or a Hispanic cannot be seen talking to a policeman, he cannot report a crime to his home, his person, family or another person, to do so will see him branded a snitch, an uncle Tom and in some cases much worse, physical harm will be done.
Here are a few videos I'd like you to view showing the hypocrisy of movements such as BLM, and that white supremacists and your perception of institutionalized racism are not the everyday concerns of most black Americans.
video one ...this brave man knows..
video two... this brave woman exposing BLM hypocrisy
video three ... A black guy showing a liberal that a Trump presidency is the least of his worries
video four ... is part one in a series of five episodes, of black people talking out against BLM.
