I guess they only watch TV and don't actually pay attention to what's really going on. It's sad that the media feeds off of this. It's all politics no one notices that the minute this started playing world wide via the media that it has gotten worse?? Is there an issue with racism sure but it comes from everywhere not just one VS the other it's everywhere. There is no real problem the problem is the ones saying there's a problem. The problem comes from individuals not a whole race. I believe the police have power issues but I don't think it's predicated one way or another hell I know all kinds of people of different races that have been mistreated by the police. Don't act suspicious purposely then complain about it and say but it was a bannana in my pocket. Well if he told you to put ya hands up don't run at him with ya hands in ya pockets dumb arse. This is so freakn dumb, just like the Red/Blue thing in the 80's and 90's and like the east vs west thing. It's all made into a show by the media to get these idiotic reactions. Do we as a nation have issues sure but it's not as though the rest of the world doesn't and there are bigger issues needing address but no ones doing a thing. You are just looking dumb in front of millions of people by doing this. There are other ways to make a difference like going into these bad neighborhoods and calling the people out that don't try and make their own societies better. Go to school get an education instead of slanging dope and then saying there's no hope. Help one another with advice and action showing younger people that there is hope and a way out of that life.

Bayou, great post man.
I agree totally. I read the other day where Jerry Rice criticized Kap for his protest. He was instantly called a "coon" and other derogatory terms on Twitter by Aftican Americans citing oppression etc.
Jerry grew up very poor in Mississippi a brick layers son. He worked hard, stayed out of trouble, didn't live a gangster rapper lifestyle and had achieved wealth and fame and notoriety. Is there racism, sure but it does come from blacks to whites too. There are so many opportunities in this country and things that have been given , all you have to do is work hard, make the right choices and stay out of trouble. Life is not a hand out, you have to work hard. The poor white child in a trailer park could just as easily cry oppression but doesn't. There is affirmative action, Negro college fund, and several other programs that target and only benefit African Americans, the poor white child isn't given these race specific opportunities. There are no white specific programs such as these. Far too many kids these days go to school and do drugs or glorify a thug or criminal lifestyle , and kids who try to do the right thing are labeled sellouts by their peers or people from their culture. They make fun of the ones that are trying to rise above and do the right thing, so the oppression comes from within with all races more often than not, it's not doing the right things or making poor choices, so often the oppression is self induced but as Kap shows us it's easier to blame someone else for our failures. There are no hand outs and success can be had such as so many people of all races and upbringings have shown us, like Jerry Rice, Dr Ben Carson and so many others, just work toward the future and own your own successes and failures.
