Unrest is sweeping across the US

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

The very thought that freed slaves and their children can live among their former slavers as fellow citizens is insane. With the benefit of hindsight, they should have been given their own country. I have a few areas in mind that I wouldn't miss if they weren't a part of the US nowadays.

And the forefathers of the BLM movement screwed it up big time.

Protesting, rioting, and scolding is one thing. Creating a solid, prosperous country is quite another.

-- There was unrest during the civil rights era. It's quite possible the exact same statements you just made you or others would of made during that same time period.
Possibly. But that was an era where journalists still had a sense of responsibility and thought they had a moral duty to try and calm tensions. They actually believed in presenting facts at that point. News media today is about preaching to your niche in order to maximize ratings. Nobody is acting to try and bridge the gap. The money is in joining a faction and widening it.

Talking to my mother who grew up in the civil rights era, she says the feelings on the street by the ordinary individual during that time were nothing like today. She told me she hopes she won't live to see what may be coming. You could be right of course, but I think you might also be underselling what is happening.

PS, in no otherr civilused western country on the planet do the people feel like this. This is not normal. You have serious-shit problems. Yoo hooo
#1 as usual your Anti American statements are off.
#2 no other country is like America. No other country has the freedoms we do.
What happened in Europe, I'm not sure if it was England or? , last week or so ago? The cops had to run for their lives.

You truly believe that all people in every other single country can strole all around, everywhere, 100% with 0 fear in certain areas?

I'd be happy to buy your ticket and pay accommodation to test your theary if you are brave enough. I'm quite confident i can pick some places out you'd disappear on a walkabout. Who knows, we could get 15 mins of fam in your very own beheading video.
Still here, in country...

You can’t be serious? You really think no other country has the same freedoms as America? :facepalm: :facepalm:
I respect your opinion, but There are so many problems with What you have said, I honestly don’t know where to start. You appear to be one of the lost causes, head in the sand type. Good luck to you and your wonderful country sir :wave:

Paragraph /1 ^^^ Ravensnest
I stand by the crux my statement, which was..
- in no other civilised western country on the planet are more and more poeple rushing out to buy guns "because of the breakdown of society" (quote from Newkid explaining why americans were buying even more guns now)
This is not normal. Your society has serious problems.

Para 2/ Who said anything about any place everybody felt 100% safe? Totally spurious argument. Irrelevant.

Para 3/
Name me a more dangerous civilised western country than USA
Even there i dont beleive i would ever need a gun just to survive. Anywhere.
Buy me a ticket to any civilised western country on the planet and i will prove you wrong. (please)
