A spout asking "Why do black lives matter" touched off a string of comments, mostly accusing the spouter of racism. That's unfair because they overlooked certain obvious truths. Treating the African American community like they are victims who can't control their own destiny is wrong. The problem comes from whites who have enjoyed the bourgeoisie superiority over blacks. The problems lie within the African-American community, which has produced wonderful successful people and do not need white pity.
