Then, ignore him and this thread. It's that simple. You're not proving anything or making a positive change. No, there's no innocent party here, including you. All you're doing is playing a game at this point and you might be losing worse than you think.
I mean, what are you trying to prove and to whom?

As I teased before there is something inherently more racist in our government today (as in currently) that targets among others.... blacks .... in a totally racist and systemic way that you don't hear a peep of. This baffles me as BLM seems to think everything that happens is racist (whether it really is or not) but yet one of the most blatant ones ... silence ..really?
I'm sure you guessed it right - gun control laws.
(for more on what I'm about to say here's a Huffington Post article - normally I roll my eyes at this publication but this time they actually have some legitimate points (for more clarification it speaks of the Oregon Occupation) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/black-panthers-california-1967_us_568accfce4b014efe0db2f40 )
These laws meant to oppress and deny the ability of free people to be able to protect all of their other rights are targeted everywhere - but notably in population dense areas where people of color are known to live in high quantities. I haven't fact checked or researched this (I'll leave that to BLM if they ever realize its a thing) but I'd strongly hypothesize that the places with the strictest gun laws are also pretty lets say ... racially diverse or "predominantly black".
I mean gun control as we know it today did pretty much start with the Black Panthers (or because of them if that makes more sense) with the Mulford Act in 1967. At this time the NRA while founded way before didn't have a pro gun rights agenda (this changed in the 70's - 80's). Essentially what inspired this legislation was 30 black panthers (or so) decided while armed to take a government facility (in California) within their legal rights (since the Mulford act didn't make this illegal until afterward).
They peacefully (while armed) protested lawmakers mid session and demanded their voice be heard. When police asked the Panthers to leave they did so peacefully.
After they exited peacefully one of the Black Panther leaders Bobby Seale said the following (according to HuffPost)
“Black people have begged, prayed, petitioned, demonstrated, and everything else to get the racist power structure of America to right the wrongs which have historically been perpetuated against black people. All of these efforts have been answered by more repression, deceit and hypocrisy. As the aggression of the racist American government escalates in Vietnam, the police agencies of America escalate the oppression of black people throughout the ghettoes of America. Vicious police dogs, cattle prods, and increased patrols have become familiar sights in black communities. City Hall turns a deaf ear to the pleas of black people for relief from this increasing terror.”
The group shortly thereafter was charged with felony to disrupt a legislative session (reportedly among other things gun control legislation was on the table the Black Panthers' opposed) but the protesters would later plead guilty to lesser misdemeanors.
Why isn't this a bigger topic when systemic racism against blacks comes up? I mean as things are in 2016 this would resonate a lot more with all people (notably white people). It is certainly arguable that modern control started as a way to suppress black people. Speaking to tyranny over gun rights and oppressive government - a message that would resonate with a great deal of white people and instantly garner infinitely more support for the plight of the black person in America than anything else that has been brought up.
I'm not exactly saying that the stunt the Black Panthers pulled on the day in reference should be repeated (especially since guns are basically banned in every government facility) but why isn't legal black gun ownership high up on the BLM agenda? I'm also clearly not saying guns should be used against the police in any manner in protest against them (for the wrongs blacks would feel against them).
It is pretty funny of all the things BLM and the like love to throw in our faces that arguably the most damaging one to the modern day white ego they leave completely alone. One of the biggest debates in America today started with racism. If BLM really wants to open some eyes and garner support from whites ...here ya go
(Note: this isn't me conceding much about BLM or contradicting anything I said about them before and any criticism about them...since this is informative criticism actually
..and again most people opposed to BLM are more opposed to the execution of their ideals - not the ideals themselves, and their actions)

It's my gift/curse to make any thread go on forever.
@Yaasshat
You know they're blind to it, right? Cause, me forbid, I play the same game they do (better) and get just as mad as those things. It's hilarious to me.
It's not the mongrels that bark at the moon that should have you surprised. It's when the moon barks back.

now, can we get back on topic of what to do with people who are deemed racist, regardless of circumstances? or is that impossible now?
