Emanuel Acho has a youtube channel titled, ‘Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,” and some of it is made for his white brothers and sisters. In his first video, he shares his insights to give us a better understanding of the Black Lives Matter movement.
He responded to the riots and looting, explaining they are a necessary consequence of no one listening to the oppressed.
He cites one example of a white woman and the oppression he felt as he was in biking in Lake Austin. He was overtaking her and yelling at her to get out of his way. He knew if she didn’t move there would be a collision. But she had earphones on and didn’t hear him so they collided. Emanuel blames her for the collision he knowingly caused and said that’s what black people are dealing with.
Then he said he doesn’t condone rioting and looting but it’s one of the stages of grief.
He goes on with his race analogy.
It’s wisdom from an oppressed 29-year-old.
So, who is this young man, Emmanuel Acho, sharing his wisdom?
Well, the oppressed young man went to St. Mark’s, a top-rated, private Christian school in Dallas that costs around $30,000 per year. He lettered in basketball and had a professional career as a linebacker.
Twenty-nine years old, already worth over three million dollars, is a reporter for ESPN, lives in a wealthy part of Austin and he is preaching to others about “privilege” and “oppression.”
He fits in more with the privileged than the oppressed, but that’s just my observation. Oh, and he’s overtly racist.

Not my brother or comrade.
Please listen to Emmanuel’s video again. And this time, try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is just as much an American citizen as you, loves America just as much as you, supports our country just as much as you, but is:
Chased down and shot by two men with rifles while jogging. And those men are not arrested for 2 months, until video is released (Ahmaud Arbery, 2/23/20).
Birdwatching in NYC Central Park, and after asking a woman to put her dog on the leash per park rules, she calls 911 and lies that he is violently assaulting her, to have him arrested. What would have happened had that not been filmed (Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper, May 2020)
Shot dead by police while playing in the park (Tamir Rice, 11/22/14)
Shot dead by police answering the door to let Chicago police officers in to help an upstairs neighbor, who had called 911 to resolve a domestic dispute. (Bettie Jones, 12/26/15)
Shot dead by police in front of daughter and girlfriend in one’s own car, after driving home from dinner (Philando Castile 7/6/16)
Shot dead by police while eating ice cream in his living room in Dallas (Botham Jean, 9/6/18)
Shot dead by police in her own home babysitting her nephew (Atatiana Jefferson 10/12/19)

Is choked to death under the weight of 3 police officers, while in handcuffs on one’s stomach (George Floyd, 5/25/20)
They, too, are Americans. These few examples of Americans being treated as second class citizens by racist white men, women, or police abusing their power based on the race of the victims. And the deaths of most of these American citizens have murderers who were never held accountable, not arrested, or not charged. If all citizens were treated so poorly, then we’d have a larger problem. But this prevalent issue has existed since the tragic lynchings of the 1800’s. Please, listen again, and place yourself in those shoes. This is spoken out of love, not hate, by an American who loves Jesus, loves this country, and prays for its healing and progress.
Are you not also enraged by watching a police officer kneel on a handcuffed man’s neck for 9 minutes, who was already down on his stomach and being restrained by 2 other officers, while witnesses, and George Floyd pleased for his life? Do we place such little value on the lives of other Americans because of the color of their skin? You’ve made several posts about why the officers should not get charged. Or about drugs in his system, as if to justify his death. Perhaps I overlooked your post covering George Floyd’s tragic death?
It’s not only blacks. There are more unarmed whites killed by police than blacks. Is there anything more extreme than this. There were no charges filed.

You do know that you are “full of it” do you not??? Taking lessons from the MSM are you??? Why do you not make up a list of EVERY like incident AND then compare #’s??? The George Floyd incident comes across as “staged” and more likely something “went wrong”??? If not, it would appear that a certain police department has one heck of a problem vis a vis their recruitment program !!!
I quit watching the local news regularly, but when I have tuned in I noticed the, “bleeds it leads”, reports of urban violence had claimed another victim. But it’s not just Any victim, gang banger against gang banger. It was Young children who were caught in the line of fire, and not by police. A bullet flies through the window and kills a very young child. It is always heart-wrenching to see such young children fall prey to the criminal element. These cases get a “one-night” report and that’s it. The family is relegated to obscurity. Seven were killed in one recent year alone. Last year 12 were killed as of August. We only hear the names the one night of news coverage. They are the Forgotten, now.
Typical of an elitist blowhard going along with group think.
