(I forget what this video was about before I am posting, but it felt relevant at the time).
Yeah I get what you're saying bud. I don't disagree with a lot of it. You definately raise some valid points.
We certainly don't have "black problems" here for a start. They do in England but not up here.
We don't have black communities in Scotland so there are no problems that arise from them.
Black people here and all foreigners of any race are fully integrated into society.
There is no segregation. No white or black areas, it's all mixed.
I am pretty ignorant of your corner of the world, everything I know about it it warped together with movies I have seen, so don't really trust what I think I know enough to have an opinion on what you say other than it must be nice. Did you guys ever force black people to live in small areas and make it illegal for them to move out of there?
I am going to take some time to digest what you said and circle back around, we are not going anywhere right? I was having a
conversation with @TrippleDip about the QAnon thread. I think the conversations will kind of fill in a few holes in what we talked about here.

England is different though. There's a lot of black communities down there.
People say oh they're forced to live there and whatever else but at the end of the day if you want a hand out house then you get what you're given.
They have a lot of problems with illegal, untraceable immigrants down there that can't be sent home and must be housed by law.
You can't have tens of thousands of untraceable people living all over the shop so they get put into specific areas so they're easier to find.
They're provided with adequate housing, plenty cash etc.
And it's not a dig at black people but almost everywhere in England where black communities are there are higher rates of crime.
Our cops all wear body cams etc so they simply cannot get away with being unprofessional.
It's getting dangerous for them though due to this blm movement.
Now whenever a black man is stopped in London there are crowds quickly gathering to threaten the police.
That's not on.
Our police not only have the right to stop and search us. But in built up black areas, due to the amount of knife,gun and drug crime from the black communities they have a responsibility to pull up loads of black people to search them.
According to the police, 1 in 5 stops result in further action being taken.
That's 20% of nothing more than random guesses results in the black guys being found to be carrying things they shouldn't be. Wether it's drugs, weapons or whatever else.
And as I said the cops are wearing body cams so they can't lie about this.
If the black people in England were to be listened to then it would be illegal for police to stop and search anyone.
Violent crime goes up massively.
Drug crime goes up massively.
And those who will be effected by that most are the black communities as those have a higher %age of it.
So what's the answer?
Do we stop arresting black people so the police can stop being called racists and just let them destroy themselves.
No we can't do that because that's also racist.
We have paradox.
An unstoppable force meeting the unmoveable object.
And what would happen if that paradox could ever actually happen?
Both sides would explode and that's what a gonna happen here.
Destruction on a mass scale from both sides and every angle.
A pointless war.
And from every angle I've seen it's the black people that are pushing for it.
White people may be retaliating but retaliation can always be justified.
Starting a fight cannot.
I still need to go back over that because I don't want to rush it and just end up burning each other out.
@schuylaar had a good point when she said to keep things shorter, and I think that applies here too. We get so worked up and it is like a volcano building up steam.
I had a longer response, but I erased it, except this part.
I know this is a comedy skit. But I think it explains something that is too real in life as a minority male in our country.
Everyone can lose their shit, or 'Karen', when they are pushed to their breaking point.
But imagine a life where you get pulled over by the cops on your way home from work as soon as you pull into your neighborhood several times a year, and then harassed, and if you show any elevated anger at all will end up in cuffs. All to do nothing but waste your time and show they are superior. Imagine how many more times a year something like that would occur for a black guy moving into the nice burbs, and how the next day they might be a little more on edge, especially if it ended up with them in jail and they don't get any sleep.
Sure these little micro-agressions might not seem to the person who is 'just kidding' a reason for someone to blow up like Chapelle joked about in that video, but can you really not admit that in your life you likely have had times that you got really mad about something and can understand how black people getting mad just makes sense from time to time?
Because if you can understand that, and can understand the timeline of racism our society (how it has all too slowly been reduced to where we are at since the today), we can actually get somewhere I think/have hope.
Now as I hit enter, realize this has been on my computer for a few hours now lol, so hopefully it makes sense and when you have a few check out that other thread and feel free to respond to whatever.
Good talking to you, good luck with the trolling!
