There wasn't even any conversation, it was immediately to "They got shot because they're black!" argument. Nothing would change their mind. For the one person I used to know, it was the last straw, I was rapidly becoming tired of hearing about how everything in their life was someone else's problem (a topic that became more and more frequent after they lost a job for lack of showing up,) and it just got old. I understand everyone has a bad turn at times, but if you're not willing to at least put in the effort, don't complain when it gets taken away.
