I firmly believe that if we worked TOGETHER, we could find a way to live amongst each other in peace. I love ALL people, and to the ones who are using your voice to help, we appreciate you. We need allies, and we just want to be able to live peacefully without being unfairly prosecuted and killed. I know I’m going to get backlash for this, but ALL LIVES DO MATTER! Each and every one, but we need y’all to see that Black Lives Matter enough for these killings to end. We just want to know that our lives matter enough for us to be treated fairly. I don’t blame every person for the actions of their ancestors, but at some point we have to address this, fix this, and move on so we make sure this country is a better place for future generations.

One Love brother. Black lives do matter. All lives matter. I am 58 yo living in the south all my life, a military war vet and very well-traveled. In my lifetime I have discovered that Black people are the MOST forgiving of all the races. It is time your culture be recognized with the respect and dignity it deserves. The police chief has is right. You MUST be active in your community and be a part of its leadership. Know your Mayor, your representative, your board of commissioners. Go to the board meetings, learn first, and be a voice next. Keep your leadership on a very tight leash and don't let go. Put people in your community in leadership roles that align with your values. Racism probably will never end bc there is always someone in every culture that will be that instigator. What we can do is not condone it on any level. Don't let your friends talk racist to anyone, hold them accountable for that behavior. My two cents, but God did say it best: Love thy neighbor as you would love yourself. Not your white neighbor or Asian neighbor. All neighbors. Peace to you LJ Jones and your family. One Love.

All I did was look up Houston and see that it was blue in 2016. CNN would of course bring on a blue Police Chief for comments. Gee, I wonder what he will have to say? Deflect maybe? From the fact that he is FAILING at HIS job to keep his city safe while it burns? Blue cities have the mentality of "stand back and allow the animals to destroy"... THAT is why people are being hurt and businesses are being burned. Put the mob down! Dont use the president's words as an excuse for your inaction. Your stupid speeches about hugging eachother are just that, WORDS. No action. Just like Obama and Biden are SAYING THE RIGHT THING right now, and it SOUNDS great, but they were in charge for 8 years (Baltimore, Ferguson, etc) and your stupid WORDS were just LIES to the black community. You changed nothing with your 8 years!!! 8 years!!! As a matter a fact, race relations only worsened. Over 60% of the population viewed race relations as good when Obama took office, that dropped into the 25% range a few months before he left. That's not my poll, that's not fox's poll, thats from NYT/CBS right here kids: www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2016/07/14/us/most-americans-hold-grim-view-of-race-relations-poll-finds.amp.html

@The Underdog Music Didn't mean to imply narcissists aren't attracted. I meant to point out that most cops aren't narcissists.

I agree to everything you said... Until I read the last bit. You are absolutely right that every lives matter. No doubt. But right now, black lives matter the most in America and everywhere. Those race of people have had LONG TIME OF SUFFERING in the USA. They are somehow experiencing the same treatment their forefathers endured. Nothing has changed. Still today in 2020. If everyone comes together to help them stand against injustice and suffering in the Divided States of America. Then everyone's lives matters. Let's put the focus where it belong at this point. It's a start for equality. It might not be perfect. But it will ease a lot of pain and fear to not make it back home. Not in my wildest dream will I ever understand how it feels to be walking in a street or go places and the first thing on my mind is "hope I made it back home safe". Or being stopped by a racist cruel "cop" knowing that might be my last.

Black Americans have been misled, they vote 'Democrat' largely, , curiosly the Democrats origin is that of Slave and Plantation owners.
