The complete lack of empathy in this thread
Empathy for who/what? Should a restaurant feel empathy for me when I eat up all of my food and I'm still hungry?
Explain how folks can come into a historically white supremacist territory under the system of white supremacy and expect to not adhere to the very rules that govern white supremacy? That's what this is. You can't look at America as the land of milk, honey and opportunity and think that the rules of the button pushers don't apply just because folks feel some type of way.
Show me the widespread empty (recent and historically) when blacks have to simply endure wholesale subjugation on a systemic level. Blacks spent the whole damn civil rights era dealing with flat out brutality while other groups slid in and mopped up the benefits and STILL have the nerve to treat blacks with comtempt.
And I don't say this to say that's reprsentative of 100 percent of these other groups but when they step up en masse when Tamir Rice gets blown away by cops in less than 2 seconds of engagement, I'll (and we) will listen. When these groups hold a women's march for Sandra bland and demand justice, I'll (and we) will listen.
Blacks are not gonna throw on this theoretical bullet proof cape when we have a stockpile of issues that need to be addressed. We're busy
Nothing personal. Just business.
