This man really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the situation in Baltimore

just to add on the above.

/r/screwyouzac made a lot of valid points. I would go so far as to add the following:

America has never had a proper conversation about racism. You are talking about a nation that actually believes, black people as individuals are incapable of original thought. Something different from reading a text book and writing a follow-up theory. It's amusing and itself sad because, we are a transatlantic transportation costing $100 round trip away from going from the *greatest nation in the world, to another empire of the past. History repeats itself. Ask the southern states.

In the past, Blacks would placate to such character assassination in the name of reconciliation but the generation of today isn't anything like that. Both sides and the child in between are damaged goods. On one side, you are removed by one generation where lynching black people was understood and part of the norm. And one side, you have group of people who have been grouped together to share minute resources/opportunities for decades and also have to wear two faces on daily basis. Things don't happen in a vacuum. so the questions is, to what degree of a butterfly effect did it and does continue to have. A police mentality that practices power ranges on a select few citizens does have butterfly effects. Couple that with Citizens who vote to make moral issues into monetary issues. What would be the butterfly effect?!

my points are a bit scrambled, but I will show you how racist we all are...Europe is littered with genocide done by whites, IQ doesn't come into question. The same can be said about Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Australia too. So where do you get off coming to a new country and judging a group of people for having grossly negative depositions while your country is no different.

ah fuck this. time for some wine.

And i know you wondering, yes I am black as you would say. All 50 shades of it.
