BLM Dissected
As long as you continue to behave the way you do individually and collectively, the deeper the hole you dig for yourself. Nobody hates you with the exception of a very few that actually dislike you as a race. That is racism. Yet you pull out the race card when you find that we are finished with your behaviors. That is not racism. [RACISM: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.] You act like a bunch of brats then want something else. You get that and want something else. When reprimanded you riot and complain and cry racism. You don't like profiling yet do nothing collectively to change the profile. A profile is made according to behaviors, not color. What have you given us as a society or as a nation, the world for that matter, to convince us you are even trying to break the pattern of behavior that spoils your beautiful color? It's not in your Facebook timelines. It isn't found on other people's stages like Donald J. Trump or Bernie Sanders. It isn't found in the many riots or the events leading to the riots. I understand there are trigger happy police, but the profile YOU have built shows you're more trigger happy than all the police on the planet combined! But 'white folks gotta give up something'. I'm white, raised dead broke, my mom and I went 44 days without electricity when I was 12, I rent a garage converted into a loft. I'm not out giving grief. I'm content. I paid attention and did well in high school. I spend as much time as I can online leading others to live better and I go to church. Ranting wouldn't get me anywhere any more than it will you. I don't look to people with money that bettered themselves or 'got lucky' demanding or asking for help. Do I wish I were better off? You bet! I'm sick of loading groceries or laundry on my mountain bike and hauling them to and fro. I'd love a desk job instead of sweating for every little thing, but there is no such thing as white privilege. My saving grace is not having 5 to 8 kids, hanging out all hours, and running with people less motivated than me. I stay out of trouble, I have no stress, no depression and I look younger than I am based on people's observations because of how I live. Some day someone may notice I have something to offer them and they'll invest some time and money into me, but I'm sure not going to take it or demand it. My life matters because I make it matter. If it doesn't matter to anyone else but me, then that's enough for me and I don't fall into a profile.
