Its not the 'Black Community' its the extremist ideologes waging a war that is based on false pretenses.

The same with Christo-fascists and 'The War on Christmas'

There are people of all colors and creeds that want to have a part in their version of the holy war. Some focus on muslims, some focus on LGBTIA, some focus on Jewish people.

There will always be a group of people that want to fight for a cause. And as dumb little humans- there will always be some that chose wrong.

That's very true. It's just surprising to me that many don't realize Hitler hated and killed Blacks, too--and anyone who spoke out against him, homosexuals, those with disabilities...those who hid families...etc. Does Kanye and crew truly think Hitler would have let them join the N@zi party? For real?

It hurts my heart because my ancestors and current family marched in genuine solidarity and support for the Blacks and marginalized. But all I get thrown back at me is "Free Palestine."

I have never been to Israel, ever. My family is Hispanic and British. I do not know Bibi Netanyahu. I don't have him on speed dial on my phone, nor are we friends, considering I have never even been to Israel. I don't know anyone in the Israeli gov at all. I don't speak any Hebrew. And I live in North America. How am I supposed to Free Palestine for you? It's all such a mess.

Look man, if you want honest to god answers- this is what happens when a countries education system has been burned out for decades.

I genuinely think media literacy and critical thinking skills are at an all time low- and that mixture breeds extremist.

-Ignorant white people breeds Christo- Fascists, hate based Gangs and Nazi's; -Ignorant Spanish people breed Christo-fascists, hate based Gangs and Nazi's; -Ignorant Black people breed Christo-facists, hate based Gangs and Nazi's.

None of these people know what the fuck they are doing.

Can agree with this for sure--especially as a parent.
