Changing their behavior might help. Stop shooting one another. Stop committing crimes which necessitate police action. Get an education, get a job, work responsibly, raise children well. Is that too much to ask?

So sad that immigrants can come here with no money, cannot speak the language and with a different skin color and very quickly live the American dream

But the rest of us are called racist for pointing this out.

It's far easier to suck off the system you hate.
Instead of making an effort to change it

Welfare reform is the answer. If people are able bodied give them some time to straighten themselves out and than if no job or attempt to earn a living cut them off.

Think you are missing a "NO" just before desire.

Responsibility of parents to instill in their kids a work ethic.

To save more black lives, stop adding "but" to the sentence "Black Lives Matter."

Black lives matter. PERIOD. End of statement. Full stop.

There is no but. As soon as you include a but you change the meaning from "black lives matter" to "black lives don't matter as much as whatever comes after the but."

When you BELIEVE that black lives matter - without any other qualifications or conditions - you will BEGIN the process of saving black lives.

I’m guessing your missing the Black lives matter regarding police killing unarmed black people. We all know this has become an issue in our country and has been for many of years. For the record I’m a white Bostonian and am sickened by the problems with our bad apples on the force.

I came across this recently, which immediately made me wonder why the majority of self-described Christians...aren't speaking up in support of BLM?

As with so much in The Bible, we tend to select what we want and then profess our goodness. In the end, we will be judged on the whole, not simply what we found easier within the confines of our prejudices and hate.
