Except injustice and people dying have nothing to do with a hot room
I don't get where you were coming from characterizing calling out injustice as complaining and your explanation makes it worse

This may be an unpopular opinion but I personally believe things were better for us during segregation.
I sometimes dream black folks coming together and buying land out in the Mid West's wide open spaces.
Somewhere with less lights at night:
Grow our own food, teach our own children, tend to our own sick, have our own ways.
Sorta like the Mormons in UT or the Amish in PA.
40 acres and a mule.
I seem to have heard that somewhere before.
Hmmm.

Map of Federally Owned Land that can be given away by grants...
3. Lincoln thought colonization could resolve the issue of slavery.
For much of his career, Lincoln believed that colonization—or the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and settle in Africa or Central America—was the best way to confront the problem of slavery. His two great political heroes, Henry Clay and Thomas Jefferson, had both favored colonization; both were slave owners who took issue with aspects of slavery but saw no way that blacks and whites could live together peaceably. Lincoln first publicly advocated for colonization in 1852, and in 1854 said that his first instinct would be “to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia” (the African state founded by the American Colonization Society in 1821).
Nearly a decade later, even as he edited the draft of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in August of 1862, Lincoln hosted a delegation of freed slaves at the White House in the hopes of getting their support on a plan for colonization in Central America. Given the “differences” between the two races and the hostile attitudes of whites towards blacks, Lincoln argued, it would be “better for us both, therefore, to be separated.” Lincoln’s support of colonization provoked great anger among black leaders and abolitionists, who argued that African-Americans were as much natives of the country as whites, and thus deserved the same rights. After he issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln never again publicly mentioned colonization, and a mention of it in an earlier draft was deleted by the time the final proclamation was issued in January 1863.
5 Things You May Not Know About Abraham Lincoln, Slavery and Emancipation | HISTORY
The 16th U.S. president was firm in believing slavery was morally wrong, but his views on racial equality were sometimes more complicated.

All these years later - Lincoln was apparently half right.
Yes, racists would never allow us to live together in peace.
But...
No - we aint leaving.

Man I've thought the same thing. After integration we had to deal with racist cops terrorizing is and a host of other things.This may be an unpopular opinion but I personally believe things were better for us during segregation.

When it was just us blacks amongst ourselves it had to be more harmony. I just hate to say 'it was better for us sitting segregation'. It just feels wrong to say that because of all the hard work of our forefathers. Along with the fact that I had some Faith in humanity...
I'm from Alabama and my friend said that she asked her parents were during segregation and they're response was they got along just fine.

For recap:
Shooter will get first degree murder at least 50yrs in prison. I see no possibility of wiggle room. I'm not sure about the dad, depends on if he shot. Manslaughter likely, murder maybe.
I can clearly see the tone in this thread and I'll let y'all have fun in here. Imma head out.

Proving premeditation will be really difficult man. Probs 2nd degree or plead down to manslaughter. Probs 30 yrs. I wish Johnny Cochran was still alive. I wonder if their lawyer has enough experience and bull dog in him to drag them and everyone they love through the mud. I hope he drafts some savages on his legal team.

Once I get my money where I need it to be, I'm going back to my dad's country. Heard a quote in one of those "moved to Africa" videos.
"I'd rather be a first class citizen in a 'third world' country than a second class citizen in a first world country."
Yea I know it's not easy and I know a lot of people have this rhetoric or similar when ish like this happens but I've been on this wave since I was 15-16. Wavered every now and again but overall the goal was to move out. Sooner than later.

Segregation is very real in 2020
NYC and LA are very segregated and these are in liberal states.
These kale eating liberals are just as bad as the stereotypical hillbilly racist. They just hide it and aren't blatant about it.
I actually respect a hillbilly racist more because at least they have the balls to let you know how they really feel

I’ve stop trying to convince white folks in my circle about racism. They often live in a bubble. Once I realized that I just stopped caring. They love the visceral side of our culture but gives no damns about the plight of African amareicans/minorities. When I explain to “them” that I’ve been pulled over numerous times coming out of my neighborhood. “ You must’ve been speeding, broke headlight..etc”. No they said I fit a profile. All I can do as a man is to educate my kids on how society is.
I’ve seen it first hand living in central florida and now Atlanta. Most folks don’t realize they are racist.
