Stop blaming race for everything

Where do I start. England bought slaves from black tribes for supplies, so don't blame white people.

Black people can protest and have riots and tear the town up, and if there is a white person around, cop or not, then its racism.

If white people protest, then there are signs of violence. Who is instigating the problem there?

This world is making it a non-white world, making it about every race, which is OK.

If I break the law, I should have to answer to the law. Can everyone take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming everyone else?
