Again, it's not hard to empathize with a community that is clearly marginalized, unless of course you don't want to. Then it's pretty easy to put your head in the sand and ignore the obvious truths. Sure there are rallies where they excluded white people, perhaps that is wrong, but that really isn't the point. That's a distraction from the message. The message is the black people are marginalized and that the situation needs to be recognized and corrected.

Show me some information that shows that white people experience the same levels of police violence, the same disadvantages in schooling, the same economic disadvantages, the same health care disadvantages, and then we will be level. Until then, you've got nothing but hot air. You can dislike BLM all you want, but black American's systematically have less opportunity in this country. That is a fact and BLM is one of the results of that.

To be fair if I went out to support BLM and they told me to fuck off I'd probably become resentful and not really care that they (those specific black people, not everyone) were treated unfairly. You treat me unfairly why should I care if you are, especially when I am trying to support your cause.

"black American's systematically have less opportunity in this country"

How much is self inflicted relative to the "system" offering "less opportunity"? Is it economic in nature or purely based on race? 

You do realize under performance relative to the general populations isn't automatically some sort of racist conspiracy?

I would take a wager that it's exactly as self inflicted as all other people. There is inherently nothing different about people with black skin asides from their color.

You do realize that the under performance is exactly observable along the lines of race, meaning that they systematically disadvantaged. The only conspiracy is the one you have created. There are libraries worth of information that suppor this claim, your claim has literally no backing.

I dont disagree with anything you said but everything you said is besides my points. Catholic priests are gay and prey on the young. Thry get no synpathy from me. Id order full castration for them. They wont ever learn because they are sick much like gender dysphoric. How many people are religious in america? Less and less every year and secularism is growing.

Im not talking about dressing up im talking about sexualization of children, allowing children in foster homes preteens to castrate themselves and take non reversible puberty blockers and hormones that sterilize you.

What leftists organizations arent for lgbtPedo? None. Dem socialists, dems, greens all for sexual degeneracy.

"it's exactly self inflicted as all other people"

The evidence clearly shows that's not the case. 

"There is inherently nothing different about people with black skin asides from their color"

Yeah, that's the PC nonsense that has no truth to it. People of different races are genetically different from each other, that doesn't mean there's anything superior or inferior about any particular racial group.  How many whites are as athletic as Michael Jordon?  None.

"under performance is exactly observable along the lines of race, meaning that they are systematically disadvantaged"

Or there's other reasons why the discrepancy in outcomes is taking place.

"libraries worth of information that support this claim"

No, there's plenty of people that make the same generalizations that you do with no evidence. Unequal results does NOT mean there's a conspiracy against a whole group of people.

You realize there's plenty of black lawyers, doctors, CEO's, business owners, police chiefs, DA's, judges, military officers, congressmen and even a US President?

Skin color is such a poor qualifier for dividing up humanity into groups. Compared to other genetic phenotypes, it evolves very quickly. Dark skin is a huge disadvantage for people that don’t receive a lot of sunlight. The lack of vitamin d production reduces life expectancy and fertility. Those are very strong pressures for weeding out dark skinned people from a society at higher latitudes. You could conceivably change the skin color of a group of people in very few generations compared to other genetically based traits.

Please, as you made the claim that black are self inflicting less success, provide some evidence. I can't wait to see the peer reviewed source where black people admit they aren't interested in success.

Exactly, there is no conspiracy. That word doesn't apply. We know the causes of the inequality, and in large part it is systemic racism, economic inequality, etc.. I'm glad we agree.

There are plenty doctors, CEO's etc., but there are also disproportionally less black people in those positions. Just as is there is less woman, white or otherwise, in those positions. By definition you have described a situation where there is rampant inequality, and systemic factors are absolutely in part a cause of this. So thanks again.

There's eight sources saying that institutionalized racism is real. Now lets see those sources stating inequality is self inflicted.

You're walking that line of "I'm not a scientist but..." and it's sounds an awful lot like hot air.

Qman has always argued black men are genetically predisposed to play basketball. He also said height isn’t that important in the game.

If black people weren’t genetically predisposed to not float they would be the best swimmers too

chimpanzees can't swim either.

Edit: seriously though, these guys don't think that buoyancy explains it.  They believe that it has mostly to do with cultural differences.

"self inflicting less success"

http://www.takepart.com/article/2015/02/11/black-brains-matter-why-are-graduation-rates-so-low

"40 percent of African American males drop out of high school"

Now, I'm not suggesting all of them are 100% responsible, but their parents and community also did fail them in the goal of education. Much of this was a choice and is self inflicted.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/27/one-in-nine-black-children-have-had-a-parent-in-prison/?utm_term=.7ccd07f37741

Yes, I get the war of drugs is also a bunch of BS, but it's not the only choice.

http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-economic-racism-20160711-snap-story.html#

Pointing out the disparities doesn't prove anything. We get it, not owning a home can limit the ability to obtain long term wealth. This isn't a conspiracy.

https://www.cnbc.com/2015/06/30/how-to-eliminate-the-race-wealth-gap-commentary.html

This one is great, group people like Buffet and Gates and showing the racial disparities in wealth, nothing disingenuous about this piece.

https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/at-the-edge/2015/05/06/institutional-racism-is-our-way-of-life

Again, pointing out different outcomes and not attributing anything to behavior.  Different outcomes does not equal conspiracy.
