You're white? Sorry, your support is not welcome.

Basically, if you're white and you decide to give your opinion- for or against, you're unwelcome/racist.
If you're white and you decide to stay out of it, you're racist.
There's no winning. To black-Americans, racial equality means that everybody is equal besides whites because whites will always be higher up.
Just keep your opinions and let them do their own thing, I guess.

Both sides are responding to nuts who have started this mess and a system bent on exploitation.

Definitely. And many people on both sides determined to divide-and-conquer. Like this guy in the video, and even the subject of the OP. On some level, I do believe so much is being made of the Ferguson shooting because too many people (of every race, creed and color) are challenging police tactics/brutality, too much of which comes from the top -- not the officer on the street just trying to do his job.

ANYONE who really wants it needs a way to get it,AROUND the system which is NONFUNCTIONAL and dangerously threatening.
Not Color or politcs the effective END PRODUCT.

I've been saying similar things for a while. Racism is racism, no matter which way you slice it, and no matter which race the racism is perpetrated against. Just because slavery existed does not mean that it is okay to discriminate against white people. No person alive today took part in slavery, white or black, and to continue to use this as any type of justification is beyond ridiculous in my opinion. The same people who are discriminating against white people, and who think it is okay, would throw a fit if the exact same thing were done to them. And this whole idea of white priveledge is also ridiculous, and is too often used as an excuse to perpetuate and justify racism against white people, because as I said, racism is racism, and it is never okay. I think the fact that a person is willing to use the racism excuse when it is perpetrated against a black person, but not a white person, proves that they don't care about ending racism at all...What they care about is promoting one race over another, which again is perpetuating racism. These ideas should be fairly easy to grasp, especially considering that ending racism is about stopping the discrimination of a person based on race, and the former IS racist. And the fact that I point out ideas of this nature does not make me racist, but I can guarantee you that there are people out there who will call me racist for such views, proving that they have no concept of what racism is. And I would not want the people with no grasp on the concept of racism telling me what is or is not racist.
