That's good enough for you?

Another one of you. Ferguson is a RACE (not gender) issue, one in which we don't have all of the facts for. Those who are participating in the riots/looting are also throwing Molotov cocktails at police, who are responding (100% justified) with arresting the thugs.

Also, why don't you explain to me what us MRAs should do? What do you mean by "getting up in arms"? I don't think I have seen a single case in which we "got up in arms" over.

Would you like us to take to the street and throw some rocks at police officers, is that what you mean?

Maybe because our goal isn't to fight against racism.

Too many white people here and they get bitter when we're not talking about white men. That's the truth but it gets spun lots of ways. White feminist do the same damn thing on black issues but they at least learned giving a little lip service goes a long way and that's really all MRA's have to give anyway. I hope people wake up and the white men here who think their some marginalized group recognize talking about race or sexuality matters from time to time won't steal the shine from straight white man. Acting all scared isn't helping the movement. It actually makes feminism that much more relevant because they figured out how to have the big conversation while MRA's are still struggling with it.

Get with the times people.

I tried posting something earlier and it vanished. It was a strongly racial perspective on the situation but we should be big enough to talk about it anyway. We're so far behind feminist here and in other areas and acting like we're the new kids on the block who haven't had a chance to get up to speed isn't going to work for long. Their talking to us now. We need to do better than with the big picture of what equality looks like.

Can't rely on Men's Rights when black man is treated like this? That don't sound right.

Reddit tells me you have never commented in /r/MensRights and this is your first post here.

So what do you mean precisely by "fellow MRAs"

Reddit also tells me that at the least you're a troll.

Why is this question only ever asked by people who have never posted here before? Removed.
