specifically I mean the race riots in several places of America after white police officers killed unarmed African American men and the resulting riots where minorities demanded an apology for law enforcement and authorities constantly unfairly targeting them. I don't necessarily agree with the destruction of property part but people have a right to express their frustrations with the system which has obviously turned a blind eye to those who find themselves on the butt end of systemic prejudice and institutionalized inequality. I'm not black but I feel bad for black people. They've been in America for generations, longer than a lot of white people who came as immigrants, and yet they still have to struggle to be accepted in American society. Despite the Civil Rights movement, despite Obama getting elected 7 years ago, we still have to deal with these racial issues. If we can't respect each other and have the dignity to treat others as equals then we deserve to be the laughing stock of the whole world. Just my opinion.

    Regardless of race Michael Brown was a criminal and he got what he deserved. If I had my way I'd shoot all the rioters as well, why do you want people like that in your community.

    I still don't understand how or why or even the physical possibility of white people continuously feeling guilty about the situation in black communities. Did you own any slaves OP? Have you strived everyday to sabotage the progress of the black man? Have you deliberately planned to keep them in poverty?

    If the answer is no to all those questions than guess what you need to stop listening to the liberal media and white guilt brainwashing.

    The reason blacks still struggle to be accepted is because they want to be accepted on their own terms and most whites don't agree with that. And this ridiculous cultural experiment of race mixing will blow up in all our faces one day.

    You are going to have a bunch of users frothing at the mouth and attacking you in a few minutes. You'll get called a "traitor" and "politically correct."
