Your wife or mom gets raped in Germany you're not going to worry about it if it happens on American soil you will be slightly upset? Why don't you just be honest and say you don't care what happens to Jewish people.

Neither my wife nor my mother have never been to Germany either. What a ridiculous premise.

So the state of race relations in America is my fault? Got it.

I didn't say that. The state of race relations in America is not your fault, but neither are you doing anything to improve them with your exclusionary rhetoric. You could take a pragmatists approach, and realize that cooperation is a much more viable option than copying the ugly, racist behavior of the other side and demonizing them the same way you were demonized. No one wants to discuss the equal distribution of power with people who tell them they are not qualified and do not deserve to be part of the discussion. We can all fight for equality, and we don't have to aim for supremacy to do it.

Why are black people always expected to bend over backwards to appease white people?

Treating people with the same respect with which you wish to be treated is "bending over backwards"? If you'll note, what I said applies to ALL people, not just black people. BOTH sides need to give up their racist, bigoted ideas and come to the table as equals, and treat each other as equals. White people need to learn this lesson too.

You literally said the opposite thing about cops just a few pages ago. You said that indifference made them all culpable to the same degree as the ones who pulled the trigger.

The holocaust ended 25 years before I was born. What the police are doing is STILL happening every day in this country, and If they wanted to, they actually have the power to stop it. See the difference?

You are absolutely correct, in theory. Reality speaks to a different truth though. Black people are required to go above and beyond to appease white people. We are required to act a certain way in order to make you feel comfortable.
