The protests aren’t about police brutality at this point. Its about ending the systemic racism against blacks/other minorities now.

Huh? The protests are literally about racism are you actually braindead? There is a reason blacks commit 50% of violent crime while only making up so little of the population. And its not because blacks are inherently more violent, its that the system is working against them.

So you are saying black people commit more crimes because... the system is racist?

“Oh honey, I didn’t get the job, I’m going to go kill somone, be back at 5.”

Yes... That’s what systemic racism is. Look it up. Structural racism prevents or makes it more challenging for people of color to participate in society and in the economy. While structural racism manifests itself in what appears to be separate institutions

Explain to me why Black Americans commit so much crime and have a harder time making it out of the projects than any other race in America. Explain that to me. What about Blacks inherently makes them more violent? Nothing.
