It's worse, and I just gave you two examples in my previous post. The WaPo has a database of police killings since the start of 2017: 700 out of 730 police killings were men. Seven african-american women and around 300 white men. Account for per capita all you want, white males face far more systematic prejudice than both black and white women. This is just as true in sentencing and incarceration rates. I would have far less of an issue if BLM was solely about black men, because they indeed face the most discrimination outside of the mentally ill, homeless, and male demographics. I saw a study that basically showed that the homeless are victims of violent hate crimes at about twice the rate of all other protected classes combined. These disparities are just as real and are just as systematic, yet you are trying to tell me that Dame is taking a knee for them? Sure he mostly likely cares at some level, but it's never talked about and people only receive ridicule for bringing it up in comparison - which is silly to any person genuinely concerned about equality.
Why are you so resistant to the idea that other demographics have it worse than both women and blacks? What does that say about how you feel about the most vulnerable demographic: men? Of these issues being protested, men as a group are by far the most affected. Yet here you are shitting on someone stating in plain fact this truth. Why? I can only surmise that you hate men at some level. What else would cause you to summarily dismiss equalitative aims?
Serious question. Why is race discrimination leveled against black people seen as worse than gender discrimination against men despite that gender discrimination is worse in both prevalence and total number of victims? More people are affected by gender discrimination, so why isn't it the issue being discussed with regard to discrimination? Why does race have precedence, if in total it affects less people at lower rates? It's not a hard set of questions. If this were about anything else, math whizzes would be here telling me how stupid everyone else is for ignoring the obvious mathematical implications. So far though, I fear preconceived biases prevent even the most cursory attempt to process the basic math involved And for anyone genuinely interested in helping the black demographic, don't you realize that you would be helping blacks the most by concentrating on the gender gap, because that is the gap most responsible for rates at which blacks are victimized? Elsewise, just look at the 7 black women killed by police in comparison to the 159 black men so far in 2017. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/ A fun one: 27 unarmed men. 5 unarmed women. Male empathy gap in action, every bit as heinous as racism.
An important consideration is who is responsible for the anti-______ discrimination. White people are responsible for systemic anti-black discrimination. Men are responsible for systemic anti-female discrimination. If there is systemic anti-male discrimination by the criminal justice system, who perpetuates it? Other men. That's why it's not seen as equivalent; because we do it to ourselves.
Man on man crime is the real culprit. Get your fucking culture right before you ask us outside of the culture to care.
They like to compare ratings from Cowboys games to Saints vs Bills or some other shitty games too. I don't know if ratings are going to be affected by this but let's be honest about it.
Sounds like Anthony Morrow has a better reason to protest than most athletes: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...says-was-pulled-cause-georgia-police-officers
Conservatives did not "love" her, nor did they support her. Fundamentalist extremists, a small minority of Americans, supported her, while probably over 90% of Americans did not. She was pretty much ridiculed by nearly everyone, although the fake news networks attempted to portray it differently.
Complex? Not complex at all. Even the slowest dude on a ship knows enough to salute the flag when the time comes.
...looked like everyone was standing during the anthem at Fan Fest (but those two singers, not sure what they were singing at the end of the song )
