I just wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on how to support BLM and assist our African American neighbors . We need to become engaged and woke to the new reality. The reality of the oppressed people among us.
Sure, I have a suggestion. If they (BLM) break the law, lock them up. They learn right from wrong that way. Assist our "African American" neighbors? Sounds like someone is being racist if they think that being black means they need our help. Get tired of hearing politicians say that too. Help them? Get rid of the "African" label for one thing. If you consider them an equal "American" neighbor, that would go a long way in normalizing a community. Help them? Quit coddling them and allow them to stand up on their own without being held up.
Racism is suggesting that they are not as good as you and NEED your help when they have the same abilities as you.
