OT Black Man In Minnesota Dies After Cop Kneels On His Neck/ Portland Riots

...pretty much what I suspected...you have nothing but false bravado and don't care to discuss other relevant issues of black people being murdered.

...you might also research who are committing most of the crimes.

 

^^^for starters, how about this?

 

...in our ears or in our rears?

 

THE POLICE. Look up the stats. They were already posted. I literally am not sure what else to write to you. A disproportionate amount of black people are shot by the police. Keep defending the racism if that’s what you choose.

 

Not to put words in Minstrel’s mouth, but I took it to mean that the tangent you introduced into the conversation was exactly the same tangent the conversation takes whenever we discuss why so many black people are killed by the police. And that it’s just as irrelevant now as it is every time this debate arises....

I thought you werent allowed to watch cartoons after 10AM?

 

Please stop making things up and show where I EVER defended racism, and I'll never post again...the fact is, I didn't and you already knew that, no?

A larger disproportionate amount of blacks are killed by other blacks...can you dispute that or not?

 

...no, actually, it is relevant...but some people choose not to discuss it because it interferes with a narrative.

...simply saying something is "irrelevant" does not necessarily make it so.

 

You defend racism by coming up with “what about” black vs black and more whites are shot than blacks. That is justifying. Point blank.

 

13.4% are black. 76% White in America per the US Census...

Now here are the numbers of people shot by police by race.

It is pretty uneven...

And that's an understatement.

And the worst part is that's for the last three years. Notice how Whites have gone down and Blacks have gone up?

Based off of these stats, it's irrefutable to say that Blacks aren't disproportionately killed by police and there isn't a problem.

 

These people that are setting fires to their own community and destroying businesses owned by minorities and immigrants are committing crimes against the poor man that was murdered memory and humanity. The local government leaders and politicians better step up. And law enforcement should clear out the criminals and you will see things calm down.

 

...no, it's not...it is a fact and a very big problem but you don't want to discuss it...it was simply an alternate view of the big picture...if you believe that whitey is still the root of the black man's plight, so be it...but you'd be ignoring an even bigger problem.

 

Curious? Are you saying that because Black people kill Black people, we shouldn't focus on our armed forces killing Black people disproportionately?

Because it seems to me they are two separate issues not really tied to one another. Other than maybe Blacks killing Blacks is out of hopelessness and despair because they are being slaughtered? Not saying that's rational, but its human nature to not care when all hope is lost.

Seems to me, Blacks need help in their own communities to help rebuild friendly neighborhoods, but that will never happen until they are feeling equal and that will never happen until law enforcement gets a grip on this issue(among other things). That's about the extent of the tie in my opinion.

Otherwise, Blacks killing Blacks seems pretty irrelevant to Cops killing Blacks.

If it is more relevant than that, could you please specify how?

 

...and oh, to add to the math equation, keep in mind that the are more WHITE cops. (77%)

 

We are discussing the police and the treatment of Black people. Now, if you really want to get into everything it’s a big, long, complicated situation that STILL is about institutional racism. Black on black crime yes, it exists. It sucks. It’s bad. But the police are sworn in to protect and serve. Not murder.
