I think I clearly stated my point. We don't live in France. To revisit your comment, it's easy to say you're in favor of something if you truly don't believe it's going to impact you. Isn't that kinda your argument above regarding support of BLM? If I'm a rich black guy who knows how to work the system, why would I care. And again, what percentage of people below median income is in favor of some kind of handout?

Whether it impacts them or not, there are likely clear differences about how whites/blacks of the same income feel about everything I just listed as far as redistribution schemes to affirmative action to diversity in workplace. Advocating for identity politics that benefits their tribe.

If you've got a race that votes as a monolith 90/10% for one side and this is what that side advocates, it isn't hard to see what policies they support. They support policies that specifically advocate for blacks over across the board merit.

So what you have are irreconcilable differences in policy/vision of country, rather than just a few bad apples stealing some Nikes in downtown Portland.

Then we can agree to disagree. I personally think it's the biggest "duh" ever. Hard for me to even comprehend anyone thinking if they were to ask someone below median income (regardless of skin color) if they want a handout that their answer would be "no". I'm guessing it would be 95%+ "yes". It's everyone in that income level and that is the determinant, not race.

3. I’m a Christian – I love God and his son Jesus Christ. I am proud of my faith, but I do not wear it on my sleeve.

I respect all religions. I also believe in the State of Israel. Modern Israel is a miracle and a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Israel is a beleaguered outpost of civilization in a savage region and a bulwark against the forces of darkness.

Matthew 22:35-37

One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind'. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'. The entire law and all of the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

If you follow these simple rules, the rest falls into place.
