As part of the Blackout, we’d also like to encourage readers to donate and support the following organizations:
- Reclaim The Block

#TheShowMustBePaused
Thank you for stepping up!
there is about to be some shattered whites in this thread
Q: B-B-But what about black on black crime????
A: that has nothing to do with equal treatment under the law, and white people commit “white on white” crime at the same rate
Q: Well if we commit crime at the rate, why are u only 13% of the population but 60% of all crimes????
A: because black people are disproportionately targeted, arrested, and prosecuted under the “justice system”…our charges are “aggrivated” which results bumping them up to felonies, while charges against whites are dropped down to misdemeanors IF they are even prosecuted at all…not only that, but white crime consists of over 70% of all arrests…why arent 70% of convicted prisoners white?
Q: I understand why you all are mad but why do you have to destroy your own neighborhoods????
A: to say that those are OUR neighborhoods would imply that we own a stake in our neighborhoods…blacks have been shut out of the economy in an artificial manner for over 100 years, through redlining, banking discrimination, and employment discrimination…Target, Autozone, and Best Buy are not a part of our neighborhood…so it will burn…please let me know when u see a black person burning their own house down and then you will have an argument…
Q: B-B-But what about Chicago????
A: what about it? so u mean to tell me that as a black man who lives hundred of miles away from that city, that i am reaponsible for a few negros killing each other? if thats the case, you are responsible for opioid deaths, teen suicide, meth, impotence, and sex trafficking(aka: white slavery)
Q: B-B-But why do you have to burn and loot? why cant you just protest peacefully????
A: white people have forgot their own history…was the revolutionary war just a huge group hug between the british and colonials? was the boston tea party an actual tea party? did whites forget about the 5 points gangs? when colin kaepernick took a knee, it wasnt the right time to protest because u couldnt watch ur sporting events without feeling some kind of way…when we marched peacefully reminding you that black life matters ALSO, you responded with stupidity….so what options are left? you want to make it seem like we are just a bunch of violent negros looking for handouts…yet you have not been paying attention to your own culture for the past 400 years…so let it burn…
Someone sounds like a convicted felon making excuses for savegry. LOL. Go out there. Destroy insured businesses, catch felonies that will haunt you for the rest of your life after you get out of prison and have lost everything. Keep encouraging other black youth to do the same. You’re doing the Klan’s work for them dummy. I ain’t talking Wu-Tang either.
If any black person or business is being silent about the burden they are on American tax payers, law enforcement, welfare and our prisons, then you are part of the problem. Damn. It sounded racist AF when I basically did the same thing you did. Strange…
Lol, white people do not commit white on white crime at the same rate. Not even close. Half the murders in the country are committed by black people and they represent like 10% of the population. In these discussions it is often pointed out that 93% of black murder victims were murdered by other black people, and the common response is to point out that 85% of white murder victims are killed by other white people, as if that takes away from the original point. But as a fraction of the population, white people are far less likely to be violent criminals and even less likely to kill people than black people. I couldn’t even get through your stupid post after that blatant misinformation.
First of all the white crime is high way higher than the bullshit the feds keep throwing out , secondly we are more than 10 percent and thirdly we did not start this fight. so suck it up!!!!
So, you have data that says differently? What are your sources? This ‘world is against me’ mentality is a laugh. You get into colleges because of the color of your skin over people who are more deserving with higher grades. That’s okay though?
-im white and i say so…
Well said my brotha….you are too good for this comment section….they do t get it bro
“you want to make it seem like we are just a bunch of violent negros looking for handouts…yet you have not been paying attention to your own culture for the past 400 years…”
Sounds so retarded. Like for real ? I have nothing to do with this bullshit.
Now I think I start to see the real intentions of some people wanting chaos between people, maybe…
I didn’t read your full message just the end
Yep. Filling half of the prisons, despite making up just over 10 percent of the population, is nothing but racism… LMAO. How can you be so fkn stupid and gullible? Man the fk up.
I’ve never read such trifle in my life. Your arguments are selective and your historical comparisons are false equivalencies. Why are you so proud of your culture when black on black murder is so high, gang culture is rife, fathers don’t father, and you make up half the prison population. Other cultures were ostracised when they arrived in America, treated like second class citizens, but they worked their way up with strong values. Now you take their college positions with lower grades. Victim.
Damn, I wanted to go to Target when I get off work today so I can buy some socks and a jump rope. Guess I’ll wait until tomorrow.
As Native American I find this ridiculous. 130,000,000 of my people have been killed in a mass genocide over the last 400 years, we were slaves as well. No “Red Out” day? What, we aren’t big names in entertainment so fuck us and what WE went thru and continue going thru today? You’re all a bunch of hypocrite morons!
-$5 indian
Wow. That $5 Indian shit sounded racist as fuck. Please expand on how any of that is wrong or full of shit please. Detective.
‘Native Americans’ moved to the continent just like everyone else. They OWNED BLACK SLAVES just like everyone else, including BLACKS.
What are you trying to make feel some innocent white ? Are you retarded ? What you mean ?
Sorry for this, bad english understanding from me, I’m the one looking retarded now lol sorry
Native Americans are weak
Posting that ain’t gonna work. You could be talking about your great grandparents surviving or not during the Holocaust and people in here won’t care. This is the oppression olympics. No matter what, “we’ve had it worse”. The system isn’t as much to I blame as the programming to continue to push people to act out in ways that continues this unnecessary circle of violence. Hell, you could have the final stages of whatever cancer there, and this way of thinking will still tell you they have it worse.
I know it’s about a song, but it’s not a show. It’s retarded. This should not be paused. This must stop.
#theretardedmuststop
I see some retarded things in comments.
1. Wtf is you talking about while I have nothing to with slavery ? I’m living in 2020. That’s so retarded.
2. Are you acting like black people are better than white people ? Cause that would be so retarded. There is white people better than black ones like there is black people better than white ones.
3. I have the feeling some people hide some intentions and want chaos between black people and white people, that’s nothing new that some people want chaos. I’m not talking about black people, I’m talking about some people, whatever color.
In my country you see, there is racism against white from black in youth. I don’t know about USA. The problem is not white people, the problem is the system retarded, and retarded people.
I understand people are against racism against black, but don’t blame white people living in 2020 with things they have not done. Blame some white dead people. Don’t blame innocents. Maybe there is way more racism against black than other ones in USA. But blaming innocents is retarded. About making things change, it’s the system that we need to change. I wanted the system to change before this… This death reminds us how bad this system can be.
Reposting cause this website don’t publish all my comments…

Wow with so much crazy important stuff happening its even more crazy to think that its a good idea to ignore it for the day and diminish the power to spread information
There was a study, by a black man if that matters to some of you, that found no racial bias by police officers. Stats shows this, but as we know, feelings are more important than facts in 2020.
Lmao show this study
When they say jump, ask how high. When they say shut up, ask how long. Who is behind it, what is their agenda, nobody knows.
This was cute it’s June 3rd now what you gonna do now?
