Oh ok right. I forgot those are the only ones who have been protesting. My bad.

America only values money we are a plutocracy



a country or society governed by the wealthy.

an elite or ruling class of people whose power derives from their wealth.

I'm sure Kaepernick was a millionaire before the protest

1) you don't gotta be a victim to defend and show solidarity with victims
2) black millionaires still face discrimination. See literally the news the past few days.

Why vote when you have it easy?

What "discrimination" are they facing?

Oh, I forgot - unless I just immediately agree with the protest of a black person, I'm discriminating against them, right?

Oh yeah I forgot about how crazy it was when I flipped the news channel on and they were just ripping those poor people left and right with racial slurs.

Lmao@how liberals don't realize the bullshit "if you ever speak out against any non-white person for any reason whatsoever you're a gas chamber operating nazi" mentality helps nothing. How did people get so dumb??? What's in the water?!?

A white "billionaire" protested against the country and became president. Why is it that when the wealthy are black people that we feel as if their opinion holds little relevance to every day people?

Like everyone else.

I see people are STILL using this dumbass logic.

"Millionaires shouldn't protest"

Ok...so when the fuck has this country listened to the poor?

Did you miss the story of the nycpd breaking an nba players leg just before the Playoffs for nothing possibly costing his team a ring ?

Or the time a nba had the cops called on him cause he walked into a jewelry store.


Or the time the nfl player had a gun drawn on him by an officer in Vegas.

When the poor protest "get a job, stop complaining, other countries have it worse" etc.

Black millionaires aren't protesting for themselves. They're protesting for the poor, voiceless people who live in the areas where they grew up.

Michael Bennett? His own lawyer said race wasn't a factor, and we've still seen no evidence supporting his claim of police brutality, so BTFO.

I'd love to know where you got this from.

and we've still seen no evidence supporting his claim of police brutality

Officer took a gun out on Bennett despite him already being pinned and cuffed.

But what's even more ridiculous is that they released him based on his name recognition. Do you realize how unprofessional that is? Either they had justifiable reason to pin him and let him go based on his fame alone, or they had no justifiable reason and only let him go because they knew he would have an audience.

Said president calls them SOB's and encourages owner to fire the players.

You know your country is just shit when the news starts a story with "the president's ongoing battle with the NFL"

Oh, where all the black-on-black crime (that's racist to mention/address/fix) happens?

Listen ok? You racists. Blacks are physically larger on average than other races. So naturally they are scared shitless all the time. They sometimes have to grow up in rough conditions. No one else has any idea what that's like! Jesus . Black people have been forced by white billionaires to embrace rap and gang culture tha promote violence, which harms their communities and also strains relations with police. Because the police see them killing each other and promoting bad values. Which is exactly what trump wants.

so of course that's why in a country of 300 million, these killings by cop that are nowhere near the amount of fatalities inflicted by black on black crime? It's the cops fault, duh , for trying to do their jobs and not die. Why should they be scared anyways? They are made welcome in these communities. The rare cases of cops murdering black men is more important by far, than addressing what the black community is doing to itself an society. Because black culture is actually the dominant culture in a lot of ways. Blacks are trending. They have lots of advantages offered just based on their race as well. This is why living in the best country with the highest standard of living is a waking hell for them. Everyday. On top of that, you can barely criticize a black person sometimes, because you make have the tables turned and called a racist. Which you then may have to defend against , even if there are no grounds. And that's how it should be.

I can see why millionaires living a dream lifestyle in a land of freedom would feel they have no choice but to disrespect that country hard by not even standing for its national anthem. That is way too much to ask.

The rest of your post is rambling and I'm not sure what you're going on about, but on average we're bigger than black people. Unless you're talking about specific countries in Africa, most of the taller people are from northern Europe, and in the U.S. white men average a half inch larger than blacks.

I am 100% mocking the shit out of the narrative that blacks are so oppressed in the Usa. Read the post again knowing that. If you want , whatever

Its total bullshit

No, the officer's gun was out UNTIL he was cuffed.

However, that was nowhere near the extent of the claims Bennett made.

Would I be a black man? Absolutely. Am I comfortable in My skin, do I like being me? Hell yes.

But would I be ashamed or intimidated by being black? Lmao. Let's just say.. No. Some of the most solid dudes I ever met were black. They are not victims , oh my god... no
