[QUOTE="Blockinlick, post: 6767, member: 234"] One thing I think you're overlooking is that I'm not quite on "the side" you think I am. I play Devil's Advocate sometimes and I make my best attempts to empathize. Sometimes I argue on the side I disagree with to keep the people on "my side" honest and correct. Like I said, I'm a far right conservative. My personal opinion is that the riots and looting are bullshit. Not in the sense that they're not understandable, but because I think the mans death is being used as an excuse to do what they've always wanted to do to begin with... steal and destroy. I don't think 95% of these rioters give two damns about the plight of others, let alone that mans death. It's just an out for being barbarians. However, for those blacks & sympathizers who are sitting at home grieving and upset and rooting it on, you have to try to understand why. Empathy is very important. What I'm trying to say is that we have a problem that needs a fix. We don't need [B][U]moral posturing[/U][/B] or [B][U]apologies[/U][/B] or [B][U]acknowledgement[/U][/B]. We need to actually make change happen. Actually [B]DO[/B] something. The racial issues we have in this country will NOT heal until moves are made to actually fix problems. Blacks don't want us to apologize or acknowledge, they want action and change. Let's be real, there hasn't been much change the last few decades. They see that more than we (Non-blacks) do and they're fed up. Something has to give or this will keep getting worse. [/QUOTE]
