The lack of justice and equality is relevant.  The racist patten of the police is relevant.  Your own racist and violent attitudes that this pattern should continue is relevant.

Every two or four generations there is rejection of the racism, and movement towards justice.  Many conservatives, such as yourself, would rather see the racism, violence, injustice in inequality continue.  This isn’t your moment in history.  Go fade into the looser's place in the history books, the holder of an antiquated set of values which are held as abhorrent.

As I've said, the only groups that have a major stake or vested interest in the continuation of racism, violence and injustice in equality are the groups that we've watched protest and watched rioting, looting and destroying portions of cities and liberal Democrats who are mainly reliant on them for their political power and lively hood these days. Nope. I'm glad to say that this isn't my moment in history and I have no problem with you claiming it as yours . It's pretty clear to me, the thugs/criminals/looters won the recent battle that took place in the blue cities and the liberal Democrats seem to be eager to please and seem eager to make concessions. My time in history has yet to come.

The only groups that have a major stake or vested interest in the continuation of racism, violence and injustice in equality are those who profiteer from the mistreatment of others. Note well that racism (and it always results in violence, injustice, and inequity) is typically used to divide the working class by pitting one ethnic group against another so that the economic elites can impose lower pay, harsher management,  and worse working conditions. 

Domestic tranquility, justice, and equity (there never will be equality between workers because the contributions of an unskilled worker are less valuable than those of someone who works with a well-honed skill, and because some people really do work more conscientiously than others or under less pleasant conditions) do not thrive in a racially-divided society. 

All that the thugs that you rightly condemn will get as the consequence of their crimes will be prison terms. Can one be involved in a Black Lives Matter rally and disagree with someone taking booze out of a liquor store in the chaos? Yup! I would turn any video over to the relevant police or prosecuting attorney. Sure, looters will get their time -- in prison. Tough luck. That isn't what Black Lives Matters is about.

It is wisest to conduct one's life in a way that does not depend upon the mistreatment of others. Skill? Shrewd investment? Toil? None of that is mistreatment of others. Social orders that predicate themselves upon the mistreatment of others for the profit, indulgence, and gain of a few are the ones most likely to fall to a proletarian revolution.
