Uhnn! What happen to democracy then?

This is democracy. They look at the constitutional spread as defined by their Electoral college and not popularity vote. We also have something like that in Nigeria. 2/3rd majority. So a candidate may have the highest vote but if he doesn't have the highest votes in 2/3rd of the states, he will not be declared Nigeria President elect.

The truth is that more whites were killed by blacks. Take a look at the figures below.

Remember, black people make up only 12% of the total US population


The protests are primarily about police brutality against black men, not about whether blacks are more likely to indulge in criminal behavior.

You're right about one thing: black-on-black/black-on-white violence is rampant. But don't forget that this too is a result of their history and racism. Would you expect more neighbour-on-neighbour crimes in Ajegunle or in Ajah Exactly.

I'll be the first to agree with you that there are far more black criminals than white per capita, but again with the Ajegunle analogy, that is to be expected when one group is so repressed.

In any case, this protest is about police brutality, and if you have lived in the US or have black US friends, you'd know this is a real problem that black men are fed up with.

What's wrong with that? Should he fold his arms whilst terrorists and opportunistic opposition hijacked a good course to dethrone democratically elected president by burning down the whole country. Mind your own country. When Buhari unleashes military on electorates during elections, is isn't declaring war. When peaceful protesters are killed by Nigeria military, it isn't declaring war. Most of you hypocrites are shameless and wouldn't remove the log in your eyes but want to pick stick in neighbors eye. Does America matter to you than your own country?


One of them! We know them. They are more American than the Real Americans. Carry on bros.

True, he wasn't but he was not that violent... He always emphasised on Self defense.

Malcolm comes from a black nationalist tradition that does not believe that you can get your freedom, your self-respect, your dignity by simply letting somebody beat up on you, and you do not try to defend yourself. That's why Malcolm emphasised self-defence

The blacks in America have engaged in peaceful protests for years now. The BlackLivesMatterMovement was peaceful. Fox News and the likes made a mockery of it. I don't condone violence but I understand why the recent incident escalated. I am very happy the world is watching and shows solidarity with African-Americans, even some predominantly white countries. Enough is enough! That was how apartheid came to an end in South Africa too.

Trump have no choice than to deploy.

You've started seeing many whites in a black protest right?
they're not in any solidarity but they're mostly democrats that have high jacked the protest just to paint Trump bad

You started seeing CNN following the news bumber to bumber recently
another evidence.

the real protesters are at their various homes after passing their message
these ones are bunch of democrats terrorists capitalizing on the crises just to paint Trump bad.

Trump have no choice than to read the riot act.

Just like APC, democrats are evil and play politics of blood

See them, bunch of useless hypocrites swimming in their own tears on my mention
Same people will hail Buhari if he opens fire on armless peaceful match
how many times have terrorist buhari opened fire on armless peaceful protest and killed many
Did you said anything regarding that?
now Trump want to deploy guards on a high jacked protest that has turned violence and you bunch of hypocrites are crying.
cry cry babies
Trump is the best president in the world ever

I feel sorry for your crass ignorance. Everything you wrote here was littered with assumption. Did you interview those whites to confirm they were all Democrats?. So, CNN shouldn't be on the news like the other news outlets?.

Blacks are being killed in the US recklessly and you still have the gut to support Trump who cares less about them. And you are a black man. Shame. This angry expression on the street you are seeing has been piled up over the years, it takes a sensible president to give a speech and calm the situation. But you and your Trump seriously lack that sense.

Yes, the protests are about blacklivesmatter. But they don't know that whites were killed by police more than blacks. But they don't riot.

If blacks do not commit crimes, the police have no reason to touch them.

it is not as easy as it sound the "Posse Comitatus act, which prohibits the us Federal military from carrying out law enforcement jobs on US soil, just does alot of checks and balances, only state governors are liable to use their state National guards(in most cases) or state militias to assist law enforcement in the state, the only way he can do it is to activate the Insurection Act ( which can only be done if there is an armed conflict on US soil, and the US declares a war) which the people's house of assembly has to also endorse too, hahaha we all know Nancy pelosi's House wouldn't do that for Fatty 45. To cut the story short Orange Donie 45 just dropped another lie again just like always, HE SHOULD JUST ADDRESS THE NATION IN A PRESIDENTIAL WAY simple and Short!!!!! smiley smiley smiley smiley

Those figures are misleading. You have to look at ratio. How many blacks are in the US, how many whites are in the US. Then you will realise that blacks die more if you consider the ratio of killings.

Very good

Martin Luther King, Malcom X and other black activists never led a violent protest..They never looted and they all passed a message while protesting peacefully.


And both were violently murdered. The killing of black people by the police has become even more routine since MLK and Malcolm X.
No justice, no peace.

Rara . Good leadership effects change while working within the ambit of legally empowered institutions, not through individual power grabs.
Blacks in position of authority are not there to serve blacks alone. They have to avoid too much ethnic coloration being read into their actions, else they lose credibility.

Trying to push change through on an individual level as you're suggesting would only strengthen the divides in America. In my opinion, Obama struck (more-or-less) the right balance; he was just crippled by an obdurate republican opposition.

He doesn't just want to sound empathetic to black resistance movement.


Simply because he is a Mother fucking, IndecentStar loving, woman abusing racist that continues to pander to the alt right, Bible belt conservatives that want America to bean all white country.

United States Electoral College is a body of electors constituted every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. Citizens' votes rather sends a state representative depending on the size of the state. I think the college has about 300 or so members. So it is possible not to win the popular vote but win electoral college votes and be declared president. And since electors are independent, they don't have to dance to the tune of their respective states or people. They can vote whomever they fancy. So to be president, ur main underground work is to see how u can influence the electoral college.
Okay, that means you can bribe and causes election violance to win highest vote but if electoral college didn't find you worthy you will be disqualify in favour of best candidate.
Thanks man. You are genuine.

No. The protests are getting out of hand that's why.

Be careful what you say.

American are angry, protesters are angry, people are grieving for their brother, friend, uncle, father and husband who was gruesomely murdered in front of a camera because of the color of his skin.

Someone who's a president of a Nation cannot address the nation on the way forward on how to quell the protest and call for calm, he rather called governors"weak" for not cracking down on the peaceful protesters.

Trump as a president has loose it, America is loosing it. No wonder Yesterday, Governor of Illinois, J.B Pritzker called Mr Trump a "miserable failure and a racist", Andrew coumo of New York called Trump a "racist who hide under white House bonkers and suits.

No America President uses US troops on American soil, Trump can't start it .

I think this Trump is no different from Buhari (Jibril) of Nigeria

Forget about the number of whites killed by police. The circumstances are the koko. Black men go about America feeling like they have targets glued to them for the police to use. I have not seen a single black man who doesn't have at least one story of an encounter with police that left them feeling uncomfortable. Can you say the same for even 50% of white men?

Of course this orange-coloured, racist, weakling is yet to address the public on such a crucial matter that the whole world is outraged about but is quick to threaten the public with violence and martial law. lipsrsealed

Imagine if Barack was president, would things have gotten to this level? He would've addressed the nation in a calm, firm and sympathetic manner - in a way that everyone would relax and be reassured that their voices are heard.

But this spineless tout called Donald Trump with the mentality of a toddler will sit back and be tweeting from the bunker they went to hide him in like a lil punk!

The fact that riots reached the front door of the White House speaks volumes of how useless and despised he is. Never once has he publicly addressed the horrendous way George Floyd was murdered - he is an unapologetic racist and white supremacist!

This is why Anonymous released filed documents exposing his paedophilia charges and how he settled out of court! ..and of course he's yet to address that also lipsrsealed
Trump has addressed that not once but many times. He even called the family. But swallow everything CNN tells you. Anonymous is a joke, releasing debunked files that were already in public as far back as 2015. But trust the gullibles like you to buy it.
