It's common to see individuals become obsessed - like Forrest Gump and his running. In fact, many who get into endurance fitness become compulsive and run or bike until they keel over from exhaustion. The same phenomenon seems to afflict white liberals (and their Black co-dependents). The civil war, civil rights laws, affirmative action have failed to make Black people in to heavily pigmented white people so we must try even harder - white people must become bad at math, use non-standard grammar, etc. - if they won't raise themselves to our standards then we must lower our own standards. Because Blacks and whites simply MUST coalesce, no matter the cost

Talking about it assumes they want a solution...they do not. Solving that problem takes from the power of those who won't talk about it, exacerbating it adds.

I'm going to correct you on one thing...a fact you have wrong. (100% agree with the rest)

It wasn't a "woman and her mother" who were shot at the Rayshard Brooks "protest" site. It was a child, Secoriea Turner was only 8 years old. She never got the chance to be a woman...she was just a little girl.

Let's talk about one of the contributing factors of the breakdown of the two parent household. And topics like these are the ones that most whites either do not want to address or discount as being untrue, but the 80s crack epidemic, which was started by the CIA/government when they dropped crack cocaine off in inner city and poor communities which help lead to the incarceration of many blacks, especially men that lead to the broken homes we now see. Now that is not to absolve people from not taking care of families, and many broken homes are not a result of drugs and jail and but lets not blame 10%-13% of the countries population for 100 percent of it's ills. There is a sense among many that blacks ate to blame for everything that is wrong with the country...." If the blacks would just get their acts together....

The day before this police shooting happened, just 90 miles down the road in Cincinnati, another 13 year old girl stabbed another 13 year old girl, Nyaira Givens, 13, who died from her injuries at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Why don't we care about Nyaira's life? Does that not matter too? We are so broken and I have very little hope that we can fix this. Reparations won't. The Woke won't. We could... but anything suggested is called racist. What a big time mess we have allowed to take root.

First of all reparations are just more welfare. Welfare destroys the family. My 1st cousin and his wife had 5 foster children that were brothers and sisters but had different fathers. The oldest had mental problems and physical problems. He some how understood that and wanted and needed to be in an institution. My cousin and his wife went ahead and adopted all of them. After some time they discovered that the oldest had been in back of the house with a hatchet chopping on a tree which died because of his anger. The state hah failed to inform My cousin and his wife that the boy had issues. They were trying to get the boy into an institution. The foster care people kept giving them problems. The finely gave the Governor of Fl. a call ( Jeb Bush) and Mr. Bush called the foster care people and that solved the problem with the foster care folks. The oldest boy got what he needed very quickly. Out of the other 4 children 1 boy and 3 girls. One girl is ok still living at home. The others are are just as lost as there natural mother. Dan Purdy

Ma'Khia Bryant, the girl wielding the knife, was apparently in and out of foster care. This was a situation with foster siblings. The idea of reparations is not sound. If it has to be done, I suggest any reparations go to the Foster Care system. That's where the abandoned of our nation are now, the throw away children who don't have either parent. Of course there are white children in foster care so that will never fly.

Bravo, Erick. Bravo.

Erick- I believe that you have missed the bigger picture: Marxists of all stripes, to include BLM and Antifa as well as a majority of social studies university faculty all endorse the destruction of the nuclear family, if not overtly, then covertly, as they embrace socialism as the solution for the problem of human suffering. Dating back to the Fabian socialists of the UK in the latter half of the 19th century, socialists have endorse the rearing of children in government facilities to program them into an atheistic worship of the almighty State. For these "smart people" who do not trust the masses, millions of nuclear families, all with their own social values, threaten the rule of their all-powerful politburo. It's coming if we don't fight back.

Point is: The destruction of the nuclear family is no accident: it has been the purposeful goal of the left for almost 2 centuries.

Reparations would just be more money thrown at a problem, that was President Johnson's solution and some can argue the end result was the destruction of the nuclear family for black families. I am OK with paying reparations if that makes things even and they shut the hell up but we know there would be the next thing that the "wokes" will demand. They stopped trying for equality and now have moved onto equity, unfortunately, people do not know the difference and it is an ever subtle switch.

Obviously you were privileged to have been raised in a 2 parent household...you aren't allowed to speak to this subject

It's a lot easier to just blame the NRA or Mitch McConnell for "gun violence" than to face up to these inconvenient truths.

[File under: “Heaven Knows, We’ve Got a Problem”]

Who will make the reparations?

Who can pay the debt that’s owed?*

Is there someone who can do it?

Who can bear that heavy load?

Who on earth can make that payment?

Who can even up the score?

Where on earth can we find Justice?

Where’s the Truth we’re searching for?

What’s the answer that we’re missing?

Who can fix this mess we’re in?

Sharpton? …Schumer? …Trump? … Pelosi?

Folks at Fox and CNN?

* * *

Throw more money at the problem!

Mammon, please! Come make things right!

Let’s keep searching in the darkness…..

Let’s keep hiding from The Light.

“Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”[ ie., telestai] And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” – John 19:30

“Tetelestai “ is the legal term Jesus used in John 19:30. It is a word meaning “it is finished” or “this debt is paid in full”..
