I find the ability to work and support a family is a much higher priority for me when I look at the potential candidates than any priority the liberals are coming to the table with.
Can't work if you've been murdered.
Bring it
That was needlessly unclear, I apologize. I meant things like this:

We are constantly us society's ass about 'civil rights' stuff, because we unironically think you're plotting to kill us.
I will agree that police brutality needs to be addressed, if you can agree that the high black on black homicide rates would benefit from societal reform. I do not list the crime rates to undermine the tragic lives lost from poorly trained, over zealous, or just plain bad Police. But just look at Chicago, Father's Day weekend, 10 murders and 50 wounded? My original reference to BLM was that Black Lives should matter and the majority are falling prey to each other. Blacks have a right to be angry and want change, but there needs to be a middle ground, and reform. Angry riots have proven to be ineffective and a catalyst for further criminal behavior.
Compared to the national average, the homicide rate was 54% lower for whites, 14% lower for Hispanics, and 267% higher for blacks. Put another way, the homicide rate among African-Americans is nearly quadruple that of the national average.
Last year, President Obama highlighted the importance of this issue. He said, "The single greatest cause of death for young black men between the ages of 18 and 35 is homicide. And that's crazy. That is crazy." Actually, it's worse than that. According to the CDC, homicide is the #1 cause of death for African-Americans in all age groups from 15 to 34 (i.e., 15 to 19, 20 to 24, and 25 to 34).
