Ya'll having a shit storm and not even offering solutions. You know damn well what may happen. What white people have done to blacks. You're all worried. You haven't been getting killed for centuries for no other reason than your skin tone. I get it.

Black people don't want war. We aren't oppressing people, murdering them, keeping them from progressing in every way we can. We want peace. How many other people do?

I am specifically talking about bigots and you all are talking like I'm saying it is you, personally. After all this. Maybe you should think about that. I have to worry about some dumb ass harassing me or shooting me for no other reason at all than that they're ignorant. At least I'm talking about protecting myself and not.... what these people out here are doing (like shooting up churches and hanging innocent black women)
