Guns in a racially biased U.S. is a bad idea.
Guns in the U.S. that does not provide universal mental health care is a bad idea.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Hillary Clinton and Black Lives Matter activists had a frank and at times tense discussion last week behind closed doors, and thanks to video released Monday, the American public is now hearing exactly what the two sides said to each other.

Hillary Clinton is Oppression incarnate.
Now I’m 100% sure she is not getting my vote.
She talked down to this Black man like he is a child.
She has no empathy.

As @deray would day ‘Watch Whiteness work”
Police shake the hands of armed White men. Police shoot and kill unarmed Black, Latino and Amerindian men, boys, and women.
At the end of the video the policeman says ‘God bless you guys. You be safe.”
Here is a somewhat complete cheap date lyrics list of unarmed Blacks killed by police in the US in 2015. So far.
Unarmed Blacks are five times more likely to be killed by police than unarmed Whites. Unarmed Native Americans too are killed by police at almost the same rate as Blacks. Everyone else is killed at a way lower rate, even Latinos.
Those I have done posts on have a bolded link.

All #BlackLivesMatter all day every day.
This is genocide.
Right now, all sorts of people are trying to rethink and reinvent education, to get poor minority kids performing as well as white kids. But there’s one thing nobody tries anymore, despite a lot of evidence that it works- desegregation. This week, Nikole Hannah-Jones looks at a district in Missouri that, just a few years ago, accidentally launched a desegregation program. It’s the first of a two-part series.

People are even racist against children. America’s racist attitude is deep. Racism is a serious problem. What are we doing to fix the problem of racism?
Why doesn’t This American Life say ‘get poor kids performing as well as Asian kids’?
Notice that This American Life reinforces the doctrine of White Supremacy with their choice of words, even while reporting a story about exposing racism.
Many reporters say that Black and Latino kids should perform in school as White kids. Reporters make the issue sound racial rather than economic.
Reporters also erase the story of high performing Asian students and never say that low performing White students should perform as well as high performing Asian students.
PS – We sometimes hear main stream media blame parents of Black and Latino kids for anything their child does wrong. Yet we do not hear the police being blamed for killing the parent(s).
Also, when a White shooter goes on a rampage, are the White parents blamed by main stream media?

#BlackLivesMatter RIGHT NOW! ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.
White privilege doesn’t get it. Segregated White people do not have family members who are getting lynched every 28 hours.
If we don’t get it (JUSTICE)! SHUT IT DOWN!
