With all due respect, I do not think that people should criticize people of the ethnicity under discussion.
I think that people should understand that they have a unique history in our country: slavery, de facto and de jure segregation until the 1960s. Certain cultural aspects have been passed down through their families.
I am not a bleeding heart. I am 83 years old and have had many unpleasant experiences, mostly with their youth. So I am under no illusions. But I think that we should be as respectful to them as possible and at the same time do the best that we can under the circumstances. I believe, for example, that we should support the police (so long as they act in a humane manner), and we should avoid movements such as BLM. I personally am so disappointed that so many Caucasian youths have participated in those marches. I have no doubt that as they age and have more real-life experiences, they will come to rue the day that they gave support to BLM.
We are like the survivors in a lifeboat. We have to get along with one another as best as we can. There is no alternative.
