  What about Ghana? Are there incidents where people are mistreated based on their origins with respect to being Muslim or even Christian in Ghana? I am curious.

  Apostle Mawuetornam Dugbazah
  Love truth and you will be set free of heathenism

  This article is Hate Speech and twisting of facts! You should read this facebook post by a Black police officer for another point of view: https://www.facebook.com/jay.stalien/posts/911372818974402 Here are a couple of things he states: "Fact: As of July 2016, the breakdown of the number of US Citizens killed by Police this year is, 238 White people killed, 123 Black people killed, 79 Hispanics, 69 other/or unknown race." "Fact: Black People commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime. Data from the FBI shows that Nationwide, Blacks committed 5,173 homicides in 2014, whites committed 4,367."

  With that said, the Police still shouldn't kill black 12 year olds in a park holding a simple bb gun.

  It's the Police attitude towards Blacks that should be held to a professional standard. Plenty of good Police officers do it so it is possible.

  Everyone despises bad cops including good Black cops and good White cops and good Hispanic cops and good Asian cops... When someone of another race is unnecessarily shot by a bad cop of whatever color, why do the other races not hold demonstrations in the street? Why does the media not cover it? Why more interest in what is going on in the U.S. than pounding Mahama for what a Black northerner did to the Black northern people of Ghana? Had SADA been successful, deep pockets, not just from the U.S., but China, maybe Turkey and Saudi could have taken notice. It takes success and hard work to generate success and investments...

  Because the other races don't have the history that Blacks have. You do realize that there are more than just Blacks that are a part of the demonstrations.

  The plight of the Black northerner is beyond who the President of Ghana is. The issues have been going on for decades and each administration has done nothing but talk about how it's going to improve the northern region. It takes more than just hard work and takes Ghanaians who have means and actually care.
  
  Investment is not about success in the short term. It takes long term investment and follow up. Not just your "success and hard work" slogan.

  Those who participate in Black Lives Matter, while sincere, in many cases are just useful idiots IMO. With the necessary changes, it is the same relationship of ISIL to Turkey's plans to reinstitute the Ottoman Empire. Loyalty to a populist cause liberal, conservative, or religious is no guarantee that you or your family's life will improve.

  This is why issues like this are not addressed and left to become more intense over time. Concerns are being brought to your attention and because you look at them as idiots, more innocent people are affected in a negative way until it becomes a crisis.
  
  Making a society better is not about people like yourself calling people who bring problems to your attention idiots. You are not all seeing and all knowing. Even successful corporations put out surveys in order to figure out whether the services they are providing are effective. A nation needs feedback in order to know whether it is doing the best it can for her citizens.
  
  Comfortable people are tone deaf. They always see people who complain as "idiots." This is why Ghana is taking a long time to tackle issues like the Northern region.

  In 2015 93% of all blacks murdered were killed by other blacks. Six tenths of 1% were unarmed blacks killed by police - a statistically insignificant number. What is the REAL problem in America?
