Rather than protesting cops or blacks, should we just start protesting the parents? It's well known how racist white and black families proselytize their kids to become violent cops or gangsters, respectively, so really it's the fault of the older generation.
It is not coming from any one source. There are multiple factors at play here. Children raised under single parents are more likely to commit crime. That is a fact and what also is true is that kind of situation with children without a father is rampant. That is one aspect of this thing.
You want to blame stuff like music which I don't agree with, but what i will say is that it is the culture in general that is the problem. So I guess technically rap music is a part of that culture so you are right when you say rap music is involved, but only at the most basic of levels. Rap music doesn't cause any of this, it's merely a product of it.
I have no problem blaming the old generation for our generations problems. The old generation is still screwing us by voting on things like Brexit, Trump, and Clinton when it's clear the youth wants change.
The thing is..it's not just the old generation. This kind of poison has seeped into the younger generation. Look at how college campuses are now compared to what they were 10-15 years ago.
I agree with you that at the end of the day it is about myopic older people who have no care about the youth. Bad parents who either spoil, abuse, proselytize, or abandon their children are responsible for everything, both the cop and gang violence. It's all from irresponsible parenting and a lack of care of empathy for the youth.
Also more often than not it is children raising children. You see a lot of pregnancies that happen in the late teens and early 20's.
Notice no riots or anything?
Honestly, that would have been a PERFECT time to finally and justifiably pull out the "All Lives Matter" banner. Don't know why they went with "white lives". If it's offensive when blacks name movements after themselves, it would obviously be just as offensive if whites did it.
That being stated, considering they said one person had a confederate flag, it's clear there's white people exploiting this kids tragic death to take subtle racist jabs at BLM and the black equality movement in general, specifically using the name WLM to piss off people. Like I said, it would have been a PERFECT time to use the ALM name. Could have even persuaded BLM to change their ways. Instead, instead of FINALLY uniting people under the ALM banner, they've specifically decided to breed even more hostility with their WLM stunt.
As far as violence goes, how many protesters were there and how many SWAT armed cops? In the protest in Baton Rouge, people were arrested for standing on the sidewalk. Here, they were allowed to do doughnuts in the road.

Are you incredulous of the idea, or that it can't be done? To enforce such a law would require Orwellian levels of behavioral control. The concept of liberty would be ravaged.
Unwanted children are only a real problem in the American ghetto+Africa.
Most developed countries would laugh at any idea that would reduce birthrates.

China has a ban in family size to reduce birthrates. And most developed countries don't have such a restriction on contraceptives and abortions as the U.S. does.

The White Lives was done on purpose exactly to point out it's not just black lives that matter or get taken by the cops.
As for all lives matter, you do realize that we live in a country where politicians have had to APOLOGIZE for saying all lives matter, right? That's not a joke. It's wrong to say that in this country. The only narrative we're allowed to talk about is the evil white devils oppressing the black man.
A bit of good news for a change:

Queue racism rant from lestov.
Because the white man refuses to talk about the evils themselves. They complain about minorities problems but do nothing to solve their own institutionalized corruption problems. For instance this cop problem, you say blacks need to protest gangs, but where are the cops protesting corruption? Where are the whites protesting corruption? The white man complains that minorities have no handle on their problems, but yet the white man's corruption seems to be inextricably unsolvable.
If the white man is too incompetent to solve their own corruption problem, then the minorities will, and the white man can't complain about minorities problems because it's minorities who have to solve the white man's corruption problems since the white man apparently can't solve it themselves, or else they would have done so already.
Even sadder though is unlike minorities current problems, the corruption problems of the white man go back decades of not centuries, so the fact that they weren't able to solve it in all of that time is especially bad. Like I said, if the white man can't control their violent cops, it's completely hypocritical to tell minorities to control their violent gangs.
