Probably all of them on Medicaid, too.

After watching videos and reading articles pertinent to the current riots and protests it becomes obvious that the media is afraid to include anything negative regarding the criminal behavior of blacks. Often the media keeps pictures of black criminals out of view, and as is true of George Floyd, the criminal record of those arrested is left out of the news as much as possible.

The white privilege claim that some groups make is total hogwash. I have been wrongly arrested, beaten up by cops, choked unconscious in custody, and I'm a white guy that didn't resist arrest but just happened to piss off a shitty cop. I do think there are bad cops out there. I agree that they get away with far too much abuse and brutality. That being said, I disagree with harming innocent people or burning down the cities is the answer.

How can a black person truly judge how white privilege affects middle class or lower class white people are treated by cops ? I have witnessed young white men shot by cops in the neighborhood I was raised in. The truth is more akin to the fact that bad cops do bad things to people they arrest and the police departments they work for do very little to change that situation.

The point I want to make is that black people's negative interactions with police are given a great deal of attention and focus because it helps agenda driven communists accomplish the chaos they need to disrupt American society. All anyone needs to do in order to see for themselves what is truly going on is look at the number of murders in blue cities and States compared to red cities and states.

To be a free people requires an honest and logical consideration of the available facts. When I see a mob made up of youth and malcontents rampaging through the streets I have to ask myself how many of these people still live with mom and dad, how many have full time employment, and how many have ever experienced the brutality they complain about ?

When people suggest that ALL lives matter it's not a suggestion that black lives don't matter, yet it seems to be an issue with BLM supporters. Why ? I mean, at some point everyone has to consider the other side's opinion and position. Or is it that white people are supposed to revere black lives and not their own ? Another thing, why are these Antifa and BLM taking money from white organizations and people. Why is it wrong for whites to be proud of their ethnic condition but perfectly acceptable for La Raza, and the NAACP, BLM, and others to be proud of theirs ?

It sure would be nice to have a dialogue about these things especially the white privilege bullshit. I've seen more affirmative action put in place in my lifetime than I've ever seen regarding white privilege.
