  cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.

  a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.

  protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.

  What if black parents taught their kids that white drivers were out to get them and it didn't matter if they stayed on the sidewalk or not, so they run across the street and start leaping in front of cars. Who contributes more to resulting deaths, the parents or the drivers?

  Too many black people are doing a terrible job of raising their kids

  Single mothers make lousy parents.
  

  The black community fall for it every time, but strangely they only ever seem to care when it is some thug who's been held to account.
  

  @Simon some of these statements are correct but that can be said of all communities no matter the race or nationality. However the same statements do not make sense as they are taken out of context to fit a narrative.

  This website is a perfect example of how a lot of ex JWs still linger here and try to find solace and comfort from past experience in the organization. It is amazing that some have left the organization over 30 years ago and they are still triggered by some issues after so many years. Anyone who hasn't been part of the Org will just say, "it's been a long time, get over yourself" or "you can't live in the past".

  There are a lot of JWs who are leading a destructive life style due to experience they had in the organization. You cannot critique their current way of life without taking into account the impact of their past. In the same vain their are ex JWs leading a great life despite their experience. Does that negate, the impact on the later?

  With the above said, the issues in the news are not about the black community per se. All communities in America have their own stories or their account of injustices. The black community is probably more vocal about it than other communities but that doesn't negate the fact that a lot more communities have the same issues.

  The same is true on this website where some are more vocal than others about their disdain for the JW organization. What brings everyone together to this website is that they have been impacted in one way or another. It is not about comparing who has suffered more.

  You cannot make a broad statement about current world issues without taking into account how we got here. Understanding the context does help to appreciate the hows and whys.

  I am starting to think there is more to these riots than just some meets the eye.

  the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.

  i am seeing this crap in london and around the world.

  this does not make any sense.

  Quetzal, That is way to simple of a statement. Gain is a relative term. Money is not the only thing that is to gain and I doubt its about money. People who only think about money are poor people. Rich people and revolutionary think about power, the money comes naturally after power is achieved.
  

  @phoenixrising, that is exactly my point and that is why I said ,

  you need to pay attention to whoever stands to gain no matter how the wind blows.

  How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?

  just an odd thought i guess.

  i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.

  i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

  There was an effort to destroy the economy and keep people at home. Close businesses, tell us what we can and can not do where we can and can not go
  

  That is really stretching things a little. If you want to understand what is going on, you need to pay attention to whoever stands to gain no matter how the wind blows.

  The facts are clear and that is that the police do NOT go round murdering black men. It's all BS.
  

  You are right that the police do not go around with the intention of killing black men. Your statement is correct but it doesn't address the issue.

  If you are driving within the speed limit and a child runs into the street, and the child is killed, you will have to deal with authorities not matter what. You might have to go through drug, alcohol and other tests. Some police expert will likely want to see if there are skid marks to check the breaking distance and your speed at the time of the accident. Even if you did everything within the law of the land, you might still end up with consequences of the child's death.

  Your lawyer's defence cannot be "The facts are clear and that is that my client did NOT go round murdering small children. It's all BS"

  Part of the public consternation/anger is the lack of due diligence and independent investigation when situations like this arise.

  You mentioned police camera in your previous post. It can be a double-edge sword. Sometimes it works for the police but at other times it can work against them. There have been cases where footage have been deleted by the police when the camera should have been on. My point is, body cameras by the police doesn't always work to prove them innocent.
