    You know, on this planet there is no criminal justice system that is not institutionally biased in one degree or another. The issue would be identifying it and then doing something about it, that is what BLM did and maybe that is why some have a problem with it.

    Who is criticizing the black community? Or are you equating criticizing BLM with criticizing the black community?

    Esau and BLM says they are institutionally racist, not biased. Jessee Jackson is biased I dont believe he is a racist.

    “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson

    Uh, racism is bias against a race.
    If I cross the street because I see a group of gang bangers lounging on the corner am I being racist or careful?

    Yes you are if they are black, because you're making an assumption they are gang bangers because they are black!

    This is 100% racism. You're definitely part of the problem is your avoiding groups young black males because you assume that they are all criminals!

    Women of all ethnicities tend to be most racist individuas on the planet, especially when it comes racism aimed at young black males!

    Their born racism automatically assumes that these young men are criminals by default. Change needs to happen.

    It would melt my heart for it to be the norm to see women walking around black neighbours alone at night! But sadly you don't see it because of thier inherent racism towards young black men.

    *Sigh lots of change needs to take place.

    What if I said, If I cross the street because I see a bunch of sketchy young men on a corner in a poor neighborhood who look like they have nothing to do and happen to be Black. Am I being careful or racist?
    BTW that was for Mr. Dixon, who I can imagine, sees gangbangers everywhere.

    Misogyny much? You rant against racial bias using bias against women. What's that called?

    You avoided answering my questions. Why would one cross the street just because they are Black?

    You literally implied that you automatically assume young black males to be gangbangers.

    You tell me... Why do you cross the street when you encounter black men?

    Gangbangers is not a synonym for young Black males. I tried to put a little nuance in my statement above that you have strategically ignored.

    BLM did nothing of the sort. BLM only looted and burned. They have gotten zero reforms done. They have proven to back violent people over the police. BLM is a disease

    What a ridiculously biased statement. You need to get out of your bunker now and then.

    No more racism when the women hold those views then when Jessie Jackson holds those views.

    Well, BLM reduced funding for Police departments across the country resulting in more crime overall, most detrimentally impacting blacks.
    Not much more than that other than lots of property destruction.

    Sooo you think Jesse Jackson is a racist? His bias against blacks is discrimination. Not racism.

    My city (which had a higher homicide rate than Chicago and BLM marches) increased police funding and changed police policies. I've noticed you cherry pick the factoids that fit your confirmation bias. It seems to be a pattern.
    Racism is discrimination against a race. Was Jackson discriminating or just being aware of the current reality?

    That didn't seem to be the message of black lives matter considering in this protests the people saying that killed more black people than anybody else.

    The message I got was criminals as long as they're black should have carte blanche but white criminals Hispanic criminals **** you that's what black lives matter says.

    Black lives can't matter if nobody else does.

    That was in spite of BLM, not because of.

    I cant read the mans mind. If he was just being aware, was he a racist or just bias resulting in his discrimination?
    And I dont believe discrimination based upon race is racism. Could be but not always. I dont believe Jesse Jackson was a racist. Do you?

    I think it's fair to say that BLM's voice is only heard in those relatively few instances when black lives are taken by police under circumstances that are, at least initially, unclear.

    That their voice remains silent to the regular-as-clockwork urban bloodbath that has public officials stacking the bodies of young black men like cord wood every weekend in places like Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, and so many other American cities areas, one can reasonably ask that they update their logo:

    You didn't get the message and didn't understand anything...pity.

    Yes, let's ignore your broad brush BS that BLM reduced police funding nationwide and the fact that most police agencies have put in stricter guidelines when using deadly force and are requiring body cams.
    You were reading his mind by saying he was discriminating, and it was by race, which is a definition of racism.

    Of course they do. You are free to start WLM and march in the streets.

    Man you have turned a deaf ear to the Black community. You need to get out more. There have been anti-violence marches, vigils, speeches from the pulpit, community leaders denouncing and families pleading to stop the violence for years and you didn't hear any of that.
