Multiple ppl shot at a Jamar Clark/BLM protest

With all due respect,
I was responding to a post about specifically arming ourselves as a response to people trying to kill us. I don't think its a tangent to expand on that and say that we have to start by doing it in our own communities and build outwards. How can you expect some nebulous group of Black people to strap up and fight the police and white militias when it isn't safe in their own homes.
I agree that we can't just ignore what's going on.

look at your reputation and look at mine, you're might as well be a CAC on here as well. No one cares what you think. At least I'm able to articulate my points without resorting to racial ignorance.

Stop it brehI was with you til this post. You ever been to Egypt or know anything about it?
The Egyptians who led the uprising were far from illiterate. In fact that was one of their grievances, the "youth" (15-40) are relatively well-educated but shut out from the economy. I'm talking bout people with Masters degrees selling food on the street an shyt. The protests were well-coordinated and planned.
I think perhaps something like this is possible here (tho not likely) but I don't believe it'll come from the BLM crew
it's even deeper than this, but at least you're not oblivious to the makeup of the Arab Spring

lol...
only in the black community, can an actual issue be bemoaned as some form of racism.
You ask a legit question, a systemic issue that continues to cause issues in the community and it's reduced to a battle cry for fukkin morons in the black community who refuse to accept that they have big role in causing the destruction in the community.
White people could leave us alone and we'd still self-destruct...

Te problem is your fear of addressing racist whites.
Black people doing such is the symptom of the disease of white supremacy.
Stop being a coward and address racist whites.
Dawg, I 100% agree with you especially the bolded.
The reason it's not though is due to a media bias perpetuated by eons of white supremacy, social indocrination, conditioning, and just jedi mind tricks that force the viewer/listener/reader etc regardless of race to view whites as incapable of being terrorists, incapable of inflicting harm to others, and incapable of being wrong. Even though more people have been killed by domestic terrorists (white supremacists/white males) since 9/11 in America than people have been killed by muslims, the deflection goes from the dominant society to any minority group that seems fit. Basically responding to racist fearmongering with racist fearmongering, even though you're probably more likely to die of heart disease, cancer, or at the hands of a police officer than die at the hands of a radical muslim.
Power is maintained simply by obscuring it's source.
When one thinks of issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation, no one is really thinking about straight white males from a relatively stable financial background. It's moreso shining the light on those that have been defined by those identifiers from the dominant society.
And because of this, justice becomes something that is never dished out fairly and becomes hypocritical by the same people who uphold it...or are supposed to.
To impose equality in those situations would be to diminish the dominant society's own power...which is something (that situations like this make crystal clear) that they refuse to relinquish.

A saying which references the type of behavior when anytime talk of racist whites comes to be people like you always try to direct it back to black people.
