right...

my reasons are more to the point and don't try to keep white people and their feeling good about themselves as my priority. I added a list in response to a query below from someone I feel really wants to explore some of the reasons white people HATE African-americans, and it is much better than some NPR BS.

"what choices has society given them"

this racist bigoted and hypocritical society has given none. And you are right. Appalachia is still a forgotten area. As the poor of cities, the urban population has always been. And what gets to me in knowing my history. A successful and thriving black community like Greenwood Oklahoma(Black Wall Street) where African-americans had "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" and were very successful was destroyed on some allegation of black impropriety toward a white person. One of the largest MASSACRES of AA in amerika. By jealous and racist whites who still to this day cannot stand an intelligent and successful black person. The names of Michelle and Barack Obama come up in my mind as to example of African-american succes and still were subject to the horrible racially descriptive words used against the First Family, Malia and Sasha included.

Would you not be frustrated by continuing racism, segregation, no jobs, shitty education, and being cramped into urban 'homelands akin to south African apartheid 'black homelands"?

American history all the way up till today is one of killing and destroying black lives only because they are black

Just for your information and the author of this OP
https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/ they just did their violence all at one time, in a continuous manner up till this day. But back to the historical setting for black frustration..in large part because of White people and their continuing HATE of AFRICAN-americans

back to frustration at white people and their racist hate being turned into black on black crime
for those who chose NOT to appreciate African-american contribution to the development of amerika

for those who just can't understand black frustration and anger turned inside as the cause of black on black crime which saddens the hell out of me just because we as African-americans already have a virulently vicious and racist enemy in this society now guided by a potus

and on and on it goes till this day. Every killing/murdering of an unarmed and non-threatening African american man woman and child add to the frustration, so for the life of me I do understand why WHITE RACISM is denied as a cause of black frustration and the turning in of that hate against each other. The self-hate whites have created in the African-American community(s) is a job well-done Amerika I'm through with trying to explain anything to people who want to believe blaring headlines of the such as this OP without a care of what helps perpetuate our violence and self-hate. I teach love for each other among my black brothers and sisters and even try to teach white people that love for others different from them. Some are here, most don't give goddamn.

And then there's the First-americans................

yeah mine is not

that substantial myself. The kicker is my cancer is suspected to have been caused by my Vietnam service and that Agent Orange they used to kill the foliage. I'm fighting VA now. Co-pays are the killer. Even with Medicare and insurance, I got one for 4thousand two hundred and ninety dollars 4,290.00. I'm retired, where in the hell can I get that from? May we just end up saying the hell with it. I told them they'll get it when I get it, laughed and hung up. Of course, they call every day.

this should bring all the 'southies'

out their holes to wear their maga hats and threaten black folks and activists. Since white folks, like the police in Portland Oregon yesterday, have the go-ahead from their Fuhrer to attack any anti-fascist and let the fascist, violent nazi, KKK white supremacist pigs alone. May one of those freak Massachusetts tornadoes bring that building down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

trump is a grifting

grasping con man who has been racist all his life. He's a waste as a user of oxygen. He is an enemy of the people, always has been.

found this interesting

I would prefer

you settle down. You have a lot of nerve. YOU SETTLE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't know me well enough to tell me that..... I can ask ANY question at ANY TIME IF I am not clear on motive or reason. Stay away from me. You do not know me and I have contempt for your assumed familiarity.

so he's not racist?

right? What is the purpose of your saying this? Just asking. Trying to understand the motive for your comeback showing that there are all fine people on both sides of the racial "dummy" divide in trumps world. Like Charlottesville explanation? What? This potus is a pigshit racist that needs no diversion from that fact or is this just some innocent, there's this posting? Just asking.

well blue-dog democrats have

always had divided loyalties ever since the Dixiecrat days and before. They DID NOT help President Obama that much during his 8 years. But this 'our revolution' bunch leaves no doubt as to where their complete loyalty lies.....I've made my conclusion and so far I have been right. Destroy, then makeover the Democratic Party in our Socialist image. Won't work of course. They are too much of a minor faction with a very minor leader and photogenic acolyte. Yet we must always be aware, not complacent and marginalize where appropriate those who would burn down our big tent Party.

I've been voting since the Atwater-Nixon 'southern strategy' days. I am always watching for any sign of their return.

I wish that

ryan, mcconnell face the same music as Putin's stooge-agent.
