    Black Lives matter so little to many Americans that after running over Rell Lewis with his pickup truck, this man proceeded to laugh and joke on Snapchat about killing "some nigger." His friend, whose name I have not been able to find, also found the whole thing hilarious.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/1002182711723855873 …

        BLACK LIVES MATTER TO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. This Administration has normalized RACISM so it appears as if there is more support for RACISM when there isn't.

        I’m sorry but there’s absolutely no evidence to back this claim. At best, black lives matter as long as it’s not too much trouble for them to.

        Seeing what the black community goes through and has gone through, the outrage and anger is justified. It is the responsibility of the rest of the community/Country to show that WE STAND AGAINST RACISM.

        But by god those 'sons of bitches' better not take a knee to peacefully protest and if they do, according to our so-called freaking fake damn president, they should be fired. I truly hate what's happening in our country.

        I feel that this an example of a catch 22 that defines white privilege. If this had been a middle aged white mom hit and subsequently called some bitch in the message. A widespread movement of women kneeling during the anthem to protest, I feel would be viewed differently. Not ok

        Its everybody's America because its been this way since its founding. Its arguably better today than it was in the past, just not by much.
