Martin Luther King famously noted that violence “destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue.” This week’s violent looting has produced a deafening monologue.
On the south side of Chicago, where I pastor a church and lead a ministry, Project H.O.O.D., we are in the business of building dialogue as the way of rebuilding our community. We help build community leaders and we equip our neighbors—especially young black men who are exiting gangs—to build their own character and to help rebuild the streets. We build self-esteem and respect for our fellow man. And we build stronger families with firmer foundations

That set back started the day you voted the Great Kenyan Usurper into an office he was not eligible for, Reverend.

Suggestion, silly maybe. Next time 6 of your 'hood kids die in weekend shootings, 2 of them under the age of 10, try this.
Stop with the snitches get stitches BS and talk to the homicide cops.
Stop your endless violent black on black crime because black lives do matter.
Stop voting in every pandering black mayor and city councilman because he's black.
Stop being black racists.

It's not violence, It's anarchy, terrorism, and thuggery.
Most of the faces in the crowds are BLACK. Explain that.

Yes it has and with appeasement of the rioters, the next one will be even worse. Believe Trump when he says that rioters must be dominated. Otherwise, with no consequence, they will only be bolder the next time around.

The pastor certainly means well, but I inferred that he doesn't get the reason for the rioting: Socialist-Democrat enabling.
The Commiecrats WANT this to continue: it's their plan 'C'. Russia, Ukraine and other ploys didn't work, so this is scorched earth. Scare people into voting for a radical VP, preferably black, and female. (Biden is just the Dem mascot for now) .
History and current events are hitting us over the head with a preview of what Democrat leadership would be.

Sad, but true. It still remains to be seen how many black votes Trump will get from BLEXIT, there still remains some hope.

Maybe it's time to stop being a separate community.
End your self imposed segregation.

Blacks are pawns of their white puppet masters. Plus of course the white college-educated.

This man is correct. Any sympathy I had for blacks in America is officially gone.

MLK was right. The democrats unleashed a creature that went after the wrong voting base because they were so intent on looting. Democrats should be scared to death right now, for with all the stories of black deaths and black businesses destroyed by the riots, they really should be scared about the blowback. The Rubicon was crossed this past week, and there is no going back from this.

Until blacks start acknowledging and confronting the dangerous banality of so-called black culture, they will not progress as a people.

Yes it has. The Floyd incident drew heavy criticism and sympathy from all sides, including evil white conservatives. But the rabble rousers couldn't let a good riot/looting opportunity go to waste, especially in an election year.

Sadly, I'm guessing a lot of whites who had never been racist before, are quickly starting to understand the appeal!!!
You can only be called every name in the book, and blamed for all sorts of problems that you had absolutely no responsibility for, so many times before you say "no more"!!!!!
