#Blacklivesmatters


America has a confused popular view of Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter had already been a source of confusion for those who call themselves white. The term white was exposed by Coates to be an ideological construction. We are American. We are Italian-American or Irish-American but we are not white American. Me personally I range between a winter time grey pink, a lobster red sunburn and a light tan color when I get enough sun.

I am not white. White is rooted in history. Grouping all Europeans as whites lent a stable coalition to defend the fragile systems of bondage and slavery in colonial frontier British North America. White supremacy became a coherent and widely held set of beliefs among broad sections of the so-called white population. white supremacy is expressed in shades of grey between white men when they think they are alone with one of their own. it is expressed in the differences in physical conditions of life that otherwise similar populations endure with respect to housing, childhood lifespan (Infant mortality) and rate of incarceration. Us against Them approaches to technical problems leave the nation more divided. Any discussion of equity lead white speakers to complain about special privileges.On issues around emotion America is post-racial.

Black Lives Matters grew organically from the organized response of the African American community to police violence against African American suspects. .
