I would directly tell them that this is how America is and has always been because of racism. White people think they are better than black people and even other races just because of their skin color and nationality. Until racism isn’t over, America will continue being the way it is and will never be great like some people claim it is.

I would respond by saying that violence was always used no matter what a lot of people didn’t have a choice even as an excuse for self defense violence tended to be used a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that this is very America because America is defined by the people who are in it and in this case the people that are saying this are the ones who are making America violent and unsafe

# data[].attributes.body
Prompt 2- I don’t really see my culture in school, mostly on black history month and Hispanic heritage month

# data[].attributes.body
I would directly tell them this is the type of violence America is and this is all happening because white people seem to think they have the authority to cause chaos in the country and get away with it which is unjust.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe what happened in the US Capitol was white supremacy in my opinion because if any other person with another background other then white would’ve been there it would’ve been more chaotic and the police would’ve acted in a different manner what happened there was unjust.

Being pro black is not the same as being anti white. Some people think that just because we are fighting for blacks or the topic is black that whites lives don’t matter and that isn’t the case. The problem is that blacks are the ones who’s lives are In danger and are always being targeted.

This was pretty disgusting. I hate protests in general, whether it be this, March for Our Lives, BLM, or anything else, you shouldn't go against the government. A major portion of this was Trump's fault, but he said he wanted it to be peaceful, it was supposed to be a rally, not this bull crap. Whenever there's protesting going on, 90% of the time there's going to be violence. You can see what happened here, and in summer looters took over when it was supposed to be peaceful. Even when it was peaceful in both cases, the people talked about taking down the system. I bet there wasn't a single veteran in the storming of the capitol.

I agree with Du Bois's thoughts about Black identity in the US because black people have been seem like bad people and criminals just because they are black. Racism is still going on today, they are looked at differently and with rage or even fear even if they don't do anything bad.

What it means to be Black in America is everyday knowing that you are seen as a nuisance, an issue, a problem. No matter what you do you will always be judged based on the color of your skin.

I disagree with his prompt. There are waaaay more blacks and colored people than whites, so they 100% don't look at themselves from their P.O.Vs. It's sort of a hoax that blacks get treated unfairly, it's just that they're failures. Look at Obama for a second, he was, in my opinion, the BEST president. He was successful in life.Plus, there are many police officers, soldiers, doctors, and more that are blacks. I wonder, are they the ones that get killed, or people that dropped out of school to go onto selling and doing drugs? Many blacks aren't successful and they get into bad things, which end up in them getting killed. Still, almost 2 times more white people are killed. So the country's not being unjust here, it's the blacks trying outsmart everyone by not showing facts and only showing what you see on TV, not what actually happens on scene. Blacks have equal rights as whites, and maybe even more, so they can't just go out saying random crap about racism.
