    Sad it has to be a white man in order for the country to reflect.

    Multiple black men killed? They should have cooperated.

    White woman killed? Oh the Libby lesbo had it coming.

    White man killed? We might be going too far boys.

    Fuck. THIS. Country.

      You realize that the same people saying what you described above, are still saying that he was charging at ice with a gun and he had it coming

      I know you are pointing out how hypocritical and racist and misogynistic much of the US is, but they literally have no morals, red lines, or any actual convictions and every time someone else is killed, it didn’t effect them so “it was lawful and the other guy is a terrorist who had it coming”. You can go on any corporate social media and see it all over the comments from boot lickers.

      A white guy was filmed getting executed because they shouted random orders at him, and then his pants fell down. It didn’t draw attention. Then multiple black people were killed, each getting national recognition leading to BLM. A white man cracked his head open by cops, again getting attention. A couple white people now (Renee Good is not being ignored by normal people) are on film getting executed now and it’s breaking through.

      Sometimes it takes a video to break through. Sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes it doesn’t break through at all. It’s unfortunate. But it’s not always black and white. Hell, Rosa Parks wasn’t the original bus incident. It’s not always black and white. But it can definitely play into it.

      I just wish people could be decent.
