I want to do something tangible, but outside of telling the black community that they have an ally in me, I can't do a whole lot more given the circumstances we're in. But, at the same time, I wonder if that's enough for the time being.

Maybe it'll be like 1968 and Federal government convenes and votes on a justice reform act within a week or two. Change takes a long time, vote and be vocal. And yes I know you're Canadian, hopefully some of your politicians make their stances clear. |

I have no clue what it's like to be a black man in America and what weathering that storm entails. What I do know for sure, is that I'm so, I don't know what the right word is, angry? Upset? Disappointed? A combination? With everything happening right now. Between the systemic racism, whites being the main party who are inciting riots and doing a majority of the skeezy stuff in the states. I'm pissed off that I can't do a fucking thing about it, and if you don't feel the same way, I cannot wait for the day you get trampled and left in the past with the rest of your ilk. |

@Cole there are multiple groups you can donate money to if you're in the position to do so.
The fact that you're torn up about it means more than enough to me, the silent majority when motivated usually prevails, and it takes not being silent to make that happen. |

If you want to do something about it, you must first determine exactly what situation exists that you want to change, then determine why the existing situation is the way it is. Keep backing up the "why?" question until you get to some piece of it you can affect. Then affect that piece.

Answer mine first. Do you have data to support the numbers you gave as fact?

I think you are mistaking something in what I am saying for something else.

It's not what you're saying I'm saddened by, it's what you're not saying. I understand you like the evidence based debate, but that's not the important point right now. |

Using catchy/rhyming slogans in leu of articulate explanation is for those that cannot, or do not wish to, actually think about what they are saying, or those who want compliance as opposed to independent action.
Edit, saw the first part before you added the second. Nevermind me. |

So again, are you going to keep avoiding what the real data, presented in front of you is saying? Or do you need for me to post the link to the video of George Floyd being murdered? I don't know if you're trying to be a blockhead right now, or if you are truly just unaffected by this. |
