   Your painting with a rather large brush in a attempt to prove your point.    
   but there are things that are simply no longer the case which dulls the point   
   that you are trying to make here.    
      
   These people are subject to watch them closely because of previous events.    
   Being Vigilant is not Prejudice.   
   Blacks have been equal in schools since the civil rights act has been passed.   
   No one is chasing them out of town with guns aimed - that would illegal and   
   punishable by law. I do understand where there would be a fear of a sole women   
   in elevator gripping her purse more securely -so what. Just because she feels   
   slightly insecure or may just feel frightened, means nothing in it self.    
   This is not a crime and it shouldn't provide the spark or trigger or create   
   the outrage that destroys cities across the United States.

   I am not denying that any of those things have happened, but as you recall   
   these memories from the past, would you ever imagine that they would have a   
   National Black Lives Matter movement? or think that those people would be   
   causing havoc and chaos in the cities with burning rioting and looting?    
      
   The stigma of what some of these people have chosen to become continues.    
   While other African-Americans are hard working contributing members of society.   
      
   Did you know every back man who was shot and killed by a police officer from   
   Michael Brown to George Floyd would still be alive today if they did not   
   resist arrest?   
      
   This entire BLM movement is ridiculous.    
   Where were they in the Obama years.    
   Where are they today with Black on Black crime.    
   Where are they today when innocent kids get shot and killed.    
   Not one of these Representatives of this group has acknowledged the collateral   
   damage of their behavior.   
      
   You know what this is all about it is in direct defiance of declaration made   
   from the President with Law and Order and the authority that it represents.    
   These people suggest "Too many Rules" and therefore no respect for Law & Order"   
   They are kidding themselves if they think they will be successful against the   
   Full power of the U.S. Government.   
      
   Democratic mayors and Governors have lost control of their cities in several   
   cities because they are weak.    
      
   Companies want to still make money so they join the bandwagon of the BLM   
   Movement.    
      
   All lives Matter - which includes everyone.    
   If you need to define or indicate a color before All Lives Matter then that   
   is racist too.
