Washington protesters demand racial justice amid NFL protests

I am so tired of this whole NFL protest crap!!! This thing has spiraled out of control and accomplishes nothing.

Although this may sound racist, it isn’t, it’s just the facts. Here’s my advice to black moms: Close your legs! Stop having kids! You have multiple children by multiple men who disappear only to breed more children with other women. You’re then forced to work multiple jobs while your kids are brought up on the streets. This is what’s wrong with the black community! Pure and simple.

As for young blacks: stop being thugs; stop acting like thugs; stop running from police; stop looting; stop joining gangs; stop doing drugs; if stopped by police and told to keep your hands on the wheel, keep them on the wheel; etc. If you think about it, life is pretty simple.

Some police are total *ssholes, but most are well intended. But like all human beings, they’re not perfect. They make mistakes. They panic. They fear for their lives. DON’T PROVOKE THEM! 

More advice: stop bringing up the past; we know slavery existed; we know there are bigots in the world; we know there are rednecks who despise blacks, and Hispanics, and gays, and Jews, etc. Deal with it. This will never change! And realize this, nobody owes you anything!

If you can be objective for a moment, look at the south side of Chicago. Blacks are killing each other left and right. Is this also white man’s fault?

Conduct yourselves like decent human beings and things will be just fine. All this other nonsense, this clown show and goat rodeo with the NFL is useless. The only ones benefitting from this is the media! TGO

Washington (AFP) – Several thousand demonstrators turned out Saturday in Washington to demand racial justice in the United States, days after NFL players across the country defied President Donald Trump by taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

It comes as the country is experiencing a period of heightened racial tensions as white supremacist groups have come increasingly to the fore, culminating in the death of a liberal protester in August.

An opinion poll published by CBS News Friday highlighted growing polarization: fifty-two percent of Americans disapprove of athletes staging protests during the national anthem — but they also do not like President Donald Trump’s handling of the issue.

“We have a criminal justice system that keeps black people and brown people in servitude in perpetuity,” 46-year-old Maurice Cook, who helped organize today’s March For Racial Justice, told AFP.

A separate March for Black Women joined the protest at its Lincoln Park starting point, with black and indigenous women leading the way to the Capitol.

“Part of this is that it is taking place on the Capitol, and in front of Trump. The only way that he can see anything is for you to be in his face — Trump and any politician who doesn’t understand white privilege,” a protester named Jenny, 44, told AFP.

The demonstration was timed to commemorate the anniversary of the Elaine Massacre of 1919 in Arkansas, the most deadly racial conflict in the US. Between 100 and 240 black people were killed in riots after a group of black farmers tried to create a union — but only black people involved faced criminal proceedings.

Several recent cases have fuelled suggestions the US justice system disfavors the African-American community.

On September 12, the US Justice Department announced it would not bring federal charges against six police officers in Baltimore as part of an investigation into the death of black teenager Freddie Gray, who was fatally injured in a police van in 2015.

Meanwhile on September 15, a judge in St Louis, Missouri, acquitted a white police officer accused of fatally shooting Anthony Lamar Smith, a black man, following a 2011 police chase — leading to violent protests.
