It's a build up thing, black people have been treated like shit since we got off the boat. The only reason a lot of these cops are caught is because of witnesses filming or reporting the stuff. We can't really tally all the black people who have been killed by cops or racists, but I think we can agree it's more than 11.good of time as any to post this againSpoilerThe truth is, we like to overemphasize and bombard the TV stations with this ridiculous amount of coverage over ultimately small events. We build up these martyrs, whose deaths were caused by fucked up individuals, and whose entire purpose is just to separate us more. It might sound insensitive, but the way to end racism isn't focusing on the differences, it's focusing on the similarities. Any relatively intelligent person knows that racism is a disgusting thing, and people who are actually racists are almost universally hated outside of their own ignorant communities. If we keep pushing these negative stories and and this white vs black struggle on the news every night, it will only divide us more. The saying All Lives Matter is much, much better than Black Lives Matter, I really have to say. We're all one race - the fucking human race - and the more we focus on this shit, the more we forget that.I get what you're saying. I understand the media likes to take isolated instances of bad behavior and make it seem like the norm, but when I'm talking about these situations, I'm talking about the history of violence against black folks. I know modern times are better for black people (no more legal lynchings is nice), but we have to acknowledge that there are a lot of situations in which black people are profiled or harassed by cops, in addition to not being so "accepted" in certain social groups. But I agree with you though about all lives matter. I wasn't really attacking Hillary, I was just saying I can see their reasoning.

Hillary Clinton got shit on for saying "all lives matter"
