but there are some white democrats/liberals that don't care for obvious right wing things like fox news, rush limbaugh etc.

but they will often look at things like ferguson, al sharpton, jesse jackson and make negative comments . they act like black people aren't going to do anything and it's al sharpton/jesse jack/fill in any other minority they don't like gets involved.

people try to explain to them about how this isn't about one shooting. it's because this is a constant thing they deal with all the time. and in most cases there are no crimes involved. but they don't listen. they will say things like "i don't like how he got shot but if he had only been.................."

but if you get some popular white person to explain it they will then maybe understand how there is more to it. often it's some white comedian like colbert , jon stewart etc . the thing is these people aren't saying anything that the black peopel were already saying.
