Race relations were better before Obama and worse after Obama.

But that doesn't mean everything was hunky dory before Obama. That's what they miss.

Republicans "prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension over a positive peace which is the presence of justice." Letter from Birmingham Jail.

They are more devoted to order than justice.

Therefore they pine for the days when Black Lives Matter didn't exist, when NFL players weren't challenging their mental ordering of the universe every Sunday.

There was not true justice in the 1980s 1990s or 2000s. Black people have always gotten the short end of the stick. They don't have the same wealth and opportunity as White people. That's a result of redlining and housing policy that went against them until 40 years ago, plus racism and discrimination.

Even now there will be a bunch of mouthbreathers who get super angry because I'm engaging in "identity politics by daring to talk about it. Hi lovefist, still not Rod, lol.

Until you reject the fictional narrative that Black Lives Matter seeks the persecution of all white people or whatever, things will not get better. Until you admit police violence against people of color is a problem and the disproportionate statistics show it, things will not get better.

Until you're willing to make a small sacrifice here and there to help your fellow man instead of hoarding all your wealth and opportunity for yourself and your family, things will not get better.

Obama didn't let the genie out of the bottle, but the genie was let out of the bottle during his presidency. Republicans and especially Red Hats hold that against him.

Until liberals of all walks of life, including mag fellow Berniecrats and economic populists, have the courage to stand up for African Americans and defend Black Lives Matter, things will not get better.

Grow a pair you guys, lol.

No more negative peace. There are real problems we need to solve. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps isn't gonna solve them.

Don't be cool. Be woke.

Anyone who says Obama made them worse is a moron. He never talked about race in a "some of those people are bad and I dont like them" type of way like a certain someone else does...He brought it up in a "Look, this shit is real, its still happening, we need to stop it and ignoring it won't do that" type of way...

Anyone who can't tell the difference isn't worth debating.

This is a very good example of how the media is to blame for a lot of the tension.

A) Someone writes a message to financially comfortable white people who have asked what they can do to help the poverty situation in Louisville.

B) The list includes suggestions that if a white family is ready to downsize, that they should consider selling their home to a minority family that needs a break.

C) A publisher finds it, changes the headline just a little so now it reads like a list of requests to all whites.

D) Radical alt right blogs like Brietbart find it and change it even further to "demands from a racist BLM leader."

E) At this point the original message is lost, and the appropriate parties get angry over something that no longer resembles reality.

It's no wonder the racial lines are drawn so thick these days: websites are profiting off of making us unreasonably angry over complete lies.

1. White people, if you dont have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if youre inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. Youre bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

Okay, and here's the ACTUAL article.

Title: "White people, here are ten REQUESTS from a Black Lives Matter leader."

Notice how demands changed to requests after we removed your bullshit right wing white persecution filter and went straight to source?

The bold one says exactly what I said.

Again, this was a list that was originally written for rich (or financially comfortable) white people who asked what they could do to be allies to poor African Americans in Kentucky. It was not a "demand of all white people" as your link later spun it.

The media plays this game of telephone all the time, unfortunately. What is actually said never comes out the same once it's been through a journalist's fingertips, and definitely not after it gets to Brietbart or Slate or Occupy Dems.
