I agree, with the way that things should be, but how do you explain. 
Affirmative Action, Black History Month, NAACP all of these are special
privileges  based on nothing but skin color.

Even Target Stores in the month of February had merchandise that catered to
African-Americans, books and tee-shirts. I found a manager and asked him to
consider of this merchandise was reversed and solely meant for the whites,
there would be sheer chaos, after considering my words, he said I can see your
point.

I do not hate African-Americans at all, It is interesting when I point out
bad behaviors and the choices made and taken at these moments and those who
rally with entire cities being turned upside down and nearly being burned
to the ground with all of the chaos that we all witnessed last summer. When I
call it out, for what it is and try to define the how and why. I'm declared a
racist or as a white supremacist by some and all on the left by the way of
which is of no surprise.
