Steve P. 
I want to say something as clearly as possible. 
First. I think you and Jane Elliot ( and Greg Laden too ) are on the same page. 
Secondly, this comforting idea gets, not shattered, but thrown into disarray, when I see words, terminology, semantic thingies, such as &quot; other races &quot; being used.
When I&#039;m reading a viewpoint, I sorta invisibly nod my head in a concurring manner as I go.
So it&#039;s nod, nod, nod, nod whaaaat????
Where did that come from? It&#039;s at such odds to everything else. Have I misunderstood?  Is it a cultural misunderstanding?  Is the commenter saying it only as an example of how others think, but not themselves, and maybe italics or something would make that clearer?]]></description>

Yes billyR, it&#039;s a shame that a group actually puts thought and detail, with facts, into their opinions. Thinking things through and fighting against inequality and discrimination are both slaps in the face of what the United States stands for. 

At least they are for worthless shit-filled skin-sacks of shit on the right like you -- and they are doubly evil when they are defending people who aren&#039;t white, right?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Black is the subject here because that seems to be the defining factor in police shootings (and even police abuse short of shootings) of suspects. The “Black Lives Matter” movement simply means (in my words) that attitudes of police and the general public need to change so that those far too many Americans view as “black” are seen as a life the same as everyone else is.

A problem is that the right jumped on this and immediately labeled the Black Live Matter movement as a violent extremist group, the same as they labeled people who protested against nazis, white supremacists, and others as violent extremists.&quot;

I will not call, Boris K9, dean a liar: I will not call Boris K9 dean a disinformation 
specialist: I will not call, Boris K9 dean, ignorant but a Harry Potterist.

https://policy.m4bl.org/platform/

The plank is larger than both main parties!  Also, they have a list of
six demands.

Can anyone think of another nation, wherein, minorities receive betterment.?

Why are Afro-Blacks fleeing from their own continent.?  How many nations
in Africa are prosperous.?  Will someone call these questions racist.?

Oh, yes, a LEO is 18 times more likely to be shot by an AA,
than the other way around.

The Michael Brown event, was a WMD hate and lie campaign to foment civil
unrest. This anti-freedom and anti-American NP, is nothing more than a cabal
to destroy our nation.

Fifth Columnist and haters of capitalism.

What do we want, more Zimbabweans - when do we want them - NOW !!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The classification of individuals into racial groups based on traits such as skin color, is often a cruel and lazy convention that is used to abuse people. People in the majority or or more politically powerful groups often, even typically don&#039;t see this, and they continue invalidating and severely hurting other people throughout their lives. Even when they mean well.  But often, they don&#039;t mean well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Does it strike anybody else as ironic that many of the people who want to use guns to solve societal problems are often racist, and they decry the supposed inferior nature of other races.
