This is just liberal nonsense .. No one ever gave me a job because I was white ..but because I was honest and willing to work. No one put money in my bank account because I was white, not one red penny. And the folks that trust me, do so because I have earned that trust. With the criminal culture being promoted in the black communities and the insanity of these groups like black thugs matter.. it only does more harm to those honest blacks looking to work their way to the American dream.

As far as whites being a majority in America ..yea and ?
They did tests on it in Holland. Here Moroccons are being discriminated. With a Moroccon name, not even an invite for an interview. With a Dutch name, welcome, welcome.
Saw one Surinam guy on Facebook. They put him in jail. He did absolutely nothing. Couldn't see his kids for 10 months and lost his job because of it.
Disgusting that even the question has to be raised if black lives matter. At least the police in Holland is kind and doesn't shoot black people and our prisons are not full of them. I always tell my kids America is racist. Saw it on Discovery, you see it on tv. Sometimes I wonder if people are blind to it or something.

I don't care about the Dutch..none of my business. And the movement of BML is nothing but a bunch of racist thugs. They only make it harder for blacks in America to be trusted. The majority of the racist in America are not the white folks...blacks are 40 times more likely to assault whites than whites against blacks ...black on white crime is the real race issue in America.

Here where I live we have a very high unemployment rate due to the fact that most of the factories have shut down. So any time there are more people than there are jobs to accommodate them, this will always result in a higher crime rate. The last time I was unemployed it took me 6 months to find another job. And most of the jobs available are minimum wage jobs. I can see how people would be allured by the fast money. They're thinking..., ok, I can work my butt off for minimum wage or I can go out here and sell drugs and make $1,000 a week. So I can see how that would be tempting. Next we have Obamacare has not even further damage to the economy. I am not condoning this activity but in areas where there is poverty and high unemployment rate then you will always see a higher percentage of crime and drug use

Just telling the truth pal.. but I have worked with some that was raised in the south and with traditional values that prove it's not a race issue.. it's a cultural issue. The black folks have been lead down the "poor me" path by folks like Jesse Jason and AL sharp ton and the leftist in our country. They need truth and real leaders like Dr Carson to help them understand how prosperity works

See the issue is not about race. It's about folks having enough character to work . Lazy folks never want to do what it takes to make a honest living and don't have the moral character to succeed .

do not leave out the facts that many of the people you are speaking of were born into and continue to live in government programs, which take higher and higher taxes to operate, thus companies find it harder to turn profits, and cut back or close, leading to the high unemployment that you opened up with. this is a huge factor also.

Not to mention the same liberals that claim to want to help poor blacks ..approve and promote the open borders and illegal workers that take jobs and drive down wages. In most cities a black or white man can hardly get most of the good paying construction jobs, because they have been taken by the illegals. Big business and the libs have worked together to shaft the working class in America.

Polarised behaviour

If communities behave differently depending on the colour of your skin, it is hard to not as an individual to fall into line.
Every life matters. In london we have 50% of kids born abroad or to families not english. They are from every nation of the world. My kids now only see people not skin colour.

My daughter went to africa for charity work. After a few months she wondered why the kids were reacting to her rather than the other people in her team. Then she thought, "Oh I am white"

Getting our heads around culture and behaviour is founded in our schools and who we know. It sounds like there is still massive polarisation occuring in communities across America, which is sad to see and hear about.

Yeah, like the point I'm getting at is why do you think it's necessary to bring a specific race, that (sorry for my honesty) have brought the pain upon them selves to begin with. Most of the people I see protesting black lives matter are the ones also setting buildings on fire and committing hate crimes, it's like yes they matter but let's not make it worse for yourselves and if you want to see change to it in peace and make yourselves model citizens

You don't really think that Americans are looking to Briton as some positive example we want for our society...do you? The majority of Americans think what is going on in Europe is complete insanity.

The liberals who have almost complete control of the black communities, know that they can gain political power if they can change the racial make-up of the western nations ..who hold the majority of the worlds wealth. The liberals don't care about minorities or women ..they care about taking power and wealth. The left support and defend islam that is barbaric to women and literal enslave millions of black people this very day.

Yes refugees come here. Let's kick them all out because there are some extremists. That's sin. You were a stranger in Egypt.
The whites started it. If they didn't take slaves you wouldn't have the problem now so take your responsibility. They are racist and shoot blacks and put them in prison when they did nothing. The whole system is racist. So you get a response. Better do effort to make it more equal. Socialism man LOL.
People in Holland were too lazy to do the simple clean jobs in the seventies so we invited the Morroccons to do the dirty job. Well now fix the problem yourself and give them money and help them out.

protecting American lives is not sin, it's smart. Too many want to kill us to just let everyone in. I would love to help refugees but we need a better way to weed out the killers.
Yep we too.

They found out that in Holland, Moroccans are being discriminated against, and Surinam-ese are jailed for no reason, but you teach your kids that America is racist?

Pot... meet kettle. I think you should re-think your "teaching"....

I'll change it to: also racist. I have the idea it's less bad here though, although now with the refugees I dunno.
