6. I take umbrage with the title; but agree with a lot of content

The title should be "Many (or most) White People are Cowards"

We have always lived in a mob mentality world; but that doesn't grant license for all inclusive blames.

I don't call every. African American a look when brothers & sister's are out there bragging they love Trump.

Nor do I think those that do are Jim Crowe. They simply have given into mob mentality.

Most give into fear when facing mobs.

It's those who welcome mob rule, whether just or unjust, that are the greatest threat.

IMO a good place to start would be a BLM registry that would welcome me as an equal. Instead, my efforts to join BLM rallies and such are met with disdain.

The title of the story has the same mindset of mob mentality that I endure when I try to show there are Caucasians who care. The mob acts as if it is better served to accuse me of being racist, when I've been anything bit, all my life - instead of seeking to cure racism by embracing me as an equal.

Again, I agree with most of the article; but that title is self defeating; because it speaks to the mob.

And mob mentality is the problem.
