As demonstrations in response to the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others gain momentum across the United States, many white people nationwide are being forced to confront the idea that flashpoints like this are not isolated missteps within an otherwise faithful system. Rather, more and more white folks are realizing each day that the very fabric of our society is in fact based on enduring violence against Black people and other marginalized groups.
In this time, the sharing of trauma-porn and reactionary social-media solidarity—while perhaps the most readily available avenue of action for most—are nowhere near suitable surrogates for a factual, historical understanding of this moment.
Southerners are no strangers to white supremacy and police brutality. From slavery to secession, the KKK to “states rights” strategies, from Jim Crow to mass incarceration—we’ve been here before.
If you’re a “well-meaning” white person feeling lost in your own self-actualization process, here are five basic ideas you must grasp:

The only thing I realize is I need another gun safe and more ammo.
Where’s the barf alert?
My give a damn is soooo busted.
Nice try weasels, show me the stats again: blacks vs whites killed by cops

You're the one who is lost Lovey Cooper.
and why do FReepers post these nobody random opinions of bloggers under NEWS instead of Bloggers or General Chat.
My question is simple... why is it the democrats have ALWAYS been against the US?
“5. If you really care about what’s going on, you need to listen to people of color before doing anything else.”
Well, according to people of color on the internet, all people of color want is for me and my family to die. So what am I listening to them for, again?
RE:... and countless others....
Not true. Some bad apples are present in all LEO forces but it is not a Jim Crow 1930s KKK type of situation they make it out to be. Most dead by cops are white, not black, and that’s even with far more crimes by blacks proportionately in the figures. Even Harvard had to admit those figures.
Would be proven by facts if they allowed true statistics as
The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe by Heather Mac Donald and
Blue Lives in Jeopardy: When the Badge Becomes the Target: ....in the ‘Blue Lives Matter Series’ profiling police officers killed in the line of duty and the war on law enforcement.
by Steve Cooley and Robert Schirn and
The War on Police: How the Ferguson Effect is Making America Unsafe
by Jeff Roorda.
Easier to listen to Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow or Joe & Mika or “expert” college professors spout off about what they heard at leftist cocktail parties of rumors and casual opinions.
Eat me
“Most dead by cops are white, not black...”
And...More cops are killed by armed black men than black men killed by cops.
can shove this white guilt your their asses. If it is OK to be proud to be black , Asian, hispanic queer then I ma proud to be white so screw you snowflakes, and racists.
Black people need to quit committing so many crimes. Everything else will take care of itself in a fair and just manner once they do.
Sorry.
Excellent point.
