Your painting with a rather large brush in a attempt to prove your point.
but there are things that are simply no longer the case which dulls the point
that you are trying to make here.
These people are subject to watch them closely because of previous events.
Being Vigilant is not Prejudice.
Blacks have been equal in schools since the civil rights act has been passed.
No one is chasing them out of town with guns aimed - that would illegal and
punishable by law. I do understand where there would be a fear of a sole women
in elevator gripping her purse more securely -so what. Just because she feels
slightly insecure or may just feel frightened, means nothing in it self.
This is not a crime and it shouldn't provide the spark or trigger or create
the outrage that destroys cities across the United States.

I am not denying that any of those things have happened, but as you recall
these memories from the past, would you ever imagine that they would have a
National Black Lives Matter movement? or think that those people would be
causing havoc and chaos in the cities with burning rioting and looting?
The stigma of what some of these people have chosen to become continues.
While other African-Americans are hard working contributing members of society.
Did you know every back man who was shot and killed by a police officer from
Michael Brown to George Floyd would still be alive today if they did not
resist arrest?
This entire BLM movement is ridiculous.
Where were they in the Obama years.
Where are they today with Black on Black crime.
Where are they today when innocent kids get shot and killed.
Not one of these Representatives of this group has acknowledged the collateral
damage of their behavior.
You know what this is all about it is in direct defiance of declaration made
from the President with Law and Order and the authority that it represents.
These people suggest "Too many Rules" and therefore no respect for Law & Order"
They are kidding themselves if they think they will be successful against the
Full power of the U.S. Government.
Democratic mayors and Governors have lost control of their cities in several
cities because they are weak.
Companies want to still make money so they join the bandwagon of the BLM
Movement.
All lives Matter - which includes everyone.
If you need to define or indicate a color before All Lives Matter then that
is racist too.
