@tb87670 let's suppose your mother falsely accused your dad for rape, send him to prison for 15 years. Then, she has a dude harassing her, and needs protection. She decides to withdraw her claims, dad gets out of prison, becomes her bodyguard.

Would you ever trust your mother again?

Black women were allowed vote only in 1965 (women's voting issue aside). Poverty is inherited for generations, and the black population still suffers from it.

There was an article about poor neighborhoods in Detroit refusing the municipality planting trees, a move that would clearly upgrade their places, only because they didn't trust it and saw everything coming from it as suspect.

Trust is a major issue.

Just as it would fall on your mother to regain trust in my example, it falls on the state to build trust in disadvantaged communities.

What we are seeing is its failure to do so.

@Osiris Depends where you live. Some places it's mostly white liberals. Others it's all blacks like Ferguson MO which is lighting off again. First of all there is a digital blackout on all search terms related to this. Duckduckgo, Youtube and other sites will try linking you to videos from 5 years ago for the Baltimore riots and other non-relevant shit. Twitter only shows stuff like Floyd's daughter on a cutesy video and lots of filtered results. You are deliberately asking for something that is being actively suppressed across the internet at this exact moment and your apparently deliberate ignorance to reality is making this even more difficult. Seriously, watch live TV. Stop fucking lying about what I can see with my two eyes in person and what anyone can see on TV live right now. All these nuggets of anti-white racism they catch on live TV never show up on twitter and youtube sadly.

I got shit to take care of right now that's more important so I'm off.

@Osiris What an ignorant statement. You don't have to be in power to be a terrorist, but the reason the riots are getting out of hand is because THEY ARE IN POWER. Locally at least. Look at all the cities this takes place in: Democrat leadership, often for decades without fail. The Bernie Bros are mad they lost out again and remember they were caught on Project Veritas saying this was their last chance to put conservatives in gulags peacefully (Bernie staffer look it up).

How do you explain pallets of bricks being dropped off in these cities when no construction is going on? The caches of baseball bats and other implements that cops are finding? They shoot police officers, hit a police horse in the face with a brick and all they can say about it is we should stop hiding behind animals as shields? They don't realize this situation isn't gaining them political power as they hoped, they are about to start something they can't win.
