To be fair, the Native Americans have had it far worse than black people over the last 150 years. Have you ever been to a reservation? It's like going to a third world country, and they were FORCED to move there. Mexicans are another example of a hated race in America, and half the country was part of Mexico. The Chinese are another example of an enslaved people that helped shape this country.

Yes, slavery sucked and it was a low point in American history, however; your race isn't the most hated. I feel that a lot of the negative stereotypes associated with blacks is based on attitude, and the feeling that you are owed something because your great-great-great grandparent, whom most can't even name, was a slave. It's time to change attitudes. With the BLM movement, racial divide and prejudice are going to escalte. If black lives matter, then why are the vast majority of murders black on black crimes? I am in no way trying to sound like a bigot or hate monger, so please forgive me if my tone implies that. I am Hispanic and European, I have black nieces and I try not to judge. Jesus taught that love is the most important thing, and maybe it's time we all start looking past skin color to realize that. The black community needs to love each other and show what a great and amazing culture you truly are, and it will shut a lot of people up.

I pray that the violence and self loathing stop, and we can all somehow meet in the middle under God's Word, and embrace His love for us.
