These things already exist. You just haven't ever heard of them. Why haven't you? Probably because you never really cared, until just now.
It's okay - I didn't either. I'm not black, and I never cared about white or non-specific civil service organizations either, so not caring about black ones seems pretty reasonable.
Here's the Grand Council of Guardians - which is EXACTLY the thing you are complaining that black people haven't ever done:

That's just the first one I found. It is specific to New York State. I'm sure there are others all over the country, but I wanted to find at least one, so there it is. |
Perhaps I did not make my post clear. I apologize.
I did not say there are no BLACK organizations. I said that I do not see any of them standing up to the miscreants that are destroying property, looting, killing their own as well as the police. Let's face it, when white's intervene, even with the best intentions, it is taken as a form of control or aggression. If Black Lives truly Matter to them, then why not show it by policing their own, instead of criticizing law enforcement when they are attempting to do an honest job of preserving the peace? That is a rhetorical question, not requiring an answer. It's probably prudent NOT to assume one's race, just because he or she enters a conversation dealing with the Black situation being discussed by predominantly white posters.
