What's Happening... We are all becoming angry... blacks and whites

[paulitician]

America is imploding. Americans are angry, exhausted and exasperated chasing that almighty dollar. They've become empty inside. Nothing can make them happy. You'd think such a wealthy nation would be a happier nation.

They've actually done studies, and the U.S. ranks real high on the list of most angry unhappy Citizens. The endless pursuit of money and things, can kill a person's soul. Americans are angry and they're turning on each other. It's getting very ugly. God help us.

 

[Rustic]

This whole situtation is liberal divide and conquer BS.

In my opinion for everyday, go to work, people black and white we DON'T hate each other. Blacks and whites work together with one problem, that I see. I don't hate blacks because they are black and I don't think blacks hate me only because I am white.

Is the situation in the inner city terrible, yes. Does that mean whites hate blacks, no. Are whites keep the blacks in the inner city. Well in my opinion, yes, the democrat policies have kept white and black poor, poor. But that has nothing to do with hate it is just the situation.

Are there cops that profile blacks as being a bigger risk than whites, sure, I think I might do the same, doesn't mean I would shoot them for no reason. Especially in the inner city.

What America does have are race baiters like Mrs. Tuzla. Who only blames one side of the equation. When in fact it is people like her who are the problem. Need proof that people like Mrs. Tuzla make things worse, just look around.

Now the question is what do we do about the urban hell holes that lots of poor live in? Give handouts? Or create jobs? I think working and earning a living is the way to go. But that appears to be the direct opposite of democrat policy. Bring in millions of poor is only going to make things worse, but then again, maybe that is what people like Mrs. Tuzla wants.

How does me having apathy for the inner city poor make their situation any better? How can I make it better for them? No sir there is only one person who can brake the cycle for the inner city poor, and it is them when given the opportunity.

I don't hate blacks and I think it is a shame when one is shot needlessly.

I've been an adult education teacher for the past couple years, and I have to take exception to your statement that the Democrats (although they don't have the majority in D.C., do they?) are not trying to help the poor get jobs. The going theory is that to earn a living wage, you need a certain amount of education. Almost everything we do with students no matter what THEIR goals--an equivalency diploma, English as a Second Language, remedial math, college level tutoring--the government insists on a lengthy "plan" listing what they want for a career and tracks steps to achieve that. It's a big pain in the butt. But it is definitely a government initiative to get the poor trained and working. Everyone wants people off assistance, including the people on assistance. Our biggest problem here is that even with improved education, there are extremely few jobs around here that earn a good living wage.

You can blame socialism for that

 

[OldLady]

There is no left wing talk radio, because they have the whole rest of the media and pop culture.

There is left wing talk radio. NPR.

Can you cite which shows on NPR? Do you listen to them yourself?

Never know when it will be on here. Maine Public Radio streams everything from Howie Carr to lengthy NPR interviews and the car mechanic guy on Saturdays. I have heard NPR interviews, yes. Is that bad?

 

[sealybobo]

And where will it lead? Clinton says that whites need to listen...What about blacks?

Our problem is "ignorance."

Ignorance of history, Ignorance of the law, Ignorance of responsibility and Ignorance of accepting all people.

Have you ever watched these interviews of people who seemingly have had no education? They don't have a clue of history, current events or the challenge of accepting those who are different from ourselves.

Where there is ignorance, a breeding ground of hate and anger ensues. That is where we are.

One group will act in a certain manner and the opposite group; will retaliate in kind out of anger.

(Example: A police officer shoots a black. The media highlights the altercation. Blacks blame the police without knowledge of the entire scenario. Whites react to the actions of blacks for protesting. As each group incorrectly assume their action is appropriate, neither is. Anger piles on anger and people don't think logically any longer.)

If it is a winner is the last man standing, we are in for a long unsolvable war that will take more innocent lives. The rhetoric that encourages this resentment has to be stopped.

If you guys just let liberal thinkers do what is right and what is necessary, we will fix this. Or we can stick to the status quo which is what conservatives want to do. But that's only working for them.

America is imploding. Americans are angry, exhausted and exasperated chasing that almighty dollar. They've become empty inside. Nothing can make them happy. You'd think such a wealthy nation would be a happier nation.

They've actually done studies, and the U.S. ranks real high on the list of most angry unhappy Citizens. The endless pursuit of money and things, can kill a person's soul. Americans are angry and they're turning on each other. It's getting very ugly. God help us.

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it's all right, it's all right
For we've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong...

You've all been duped, bitchez!

She came from a modest background, but her father & mother were by no means "rich". She got herself educated & made a success of herself enough to be able to afford it. BTW, didn't Drumf's daddy fork over a $million to Donny to get going & HE needs more than $1200 to fix that mess on his head.

If it is a winner is the last man standing, we are in for a long unsolvable war that will take more innocent lives. The rhetoric that encourages this resentment has to be stopped.

Do Whites hate Blacks? Some do and some don't.

Do Blacks hate Whites? Some do and some don't.

For the most part I suspect each of the two groups practices avoidance of each other. But that is not what you would call hate.

I am White and I have Black friends. One is from work and the others are from sports. One lives in the neighborhood with his White wife and bronze complectioned kid. The rest of my friends and neighbors are White or Latino.

This lack of interface between most Blacks and most Whites is what enables each to create a notion of "Boogieman" for the other. Then "the other" becomes "them". And this results in "us against them".

Us against them can lead to anger.

If the Blacks feel and believe they are being victimized by the White cops, then they can easily become angry against first cops then against the Whites who pay their salaries with their own taxes.

And, in turn, when protesters bring in Hate Groups and yell that only black lives matter, whites become enraged. Both black and white people have to stand up and say, "We are more alike than we are different. We become angry when treated poorly, so let US STOP!"

You know, not everything is about white people.

Some black people are communicating that they still yet don't feel all of the progress that most of us have already felt. That only enrages whites who happen to be assholes who insist on making everything about themselves.

An utterly stupid comment early on in this thread asks if a black man could empathize with a suburban white man. Empathize? It's the dream of people of color to be treated as well by systemic forces working against them, like cops that are bad apples. They dream of that day. The real question is if ignorant ass white people can empathize with people who are still scapegoated, oppressed, and mistreated because they are black and because some bad apples still have hate in their hearts for blacks.

What has this got to do with "getting along"?

It's hard to get along when you're angry and exhausted. Americans are literally working themselves to death. They're very unhappy. They're working harder & harder for less & less.

And if they do finally get ahead, they don't have time to enjoy it. It's back to work. It's an exasperating vicious circle of sorrow. The endless pursuit of that cash and things, is driving folks crazy. There is very little joy in America now. That's the ugly reality.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

There is an incredible cycle of violence and hate. Not just one side has to understand...both sides need to understand. Close your eyes and ignore the color, but listen to the rhetoric.

Is anyone saying "Treat the person in front of you as you would want to be treated?

You don't have to love the other person but give them the respect you would want in return.

The key.....Stop using color to describe someone.

Or as reason to "stop and frisk" someone.
That's really the point BLM is making.
