Point well-taken, brutha! And although criminal 'White-trash' surely makes up only a microscopic number of the looters in all this rioting and anarchy, they're part of it, too. Still, I don't see the TV screens filled, side-to-side, with Whites raising hell about police violence against the White race.... Do the math, and absorb the evidence displayed before your own eyes, at the Target store, CVS, Autozone, etc., etc., etc., etc., in city after city, throughout the United States.... Hard to believe this whole rotten, horrible thing grew out of some jerk (George Floyd) trying to pass counterfeit money in a store.... Cut to the chase -- Chauvin will be convicted of manslaughter (NO way in the world is a D. A. going to make a 'murder' charge stick), and that will be that. ALL of us, no matter what our skin color is, should learn one enormous lesson from this sad situation: . ... After all, it's not 'ROCKET-SCIENCE'....
Yes and it is responsible for so much racism! Only people with white skin can be racist! Why not try leaving skin color out of the whole discussion. If you did that, you would not be Democrat!
Are statistics lies? Is pointing out crime statistics something we should ignore because the truth is inconvenient? People like you certainly have no problem tossing out numbers when it suits your purpose. But then you condemn numbers that point out the problem. The riots started out as a race thing, but it’s spread because opportunists of every color are just finding an excuse to steal and destroy.
Are people seriously arguing that the policeman did not kill him because the autopsy showed he did not die of strangulation? Was this his last day on earth regardless of what happened in the street? That seems to be the logical conclusion if you believe the cop is innocent of murder. Floyd was about to die of his conditions and the cop just had bad luck. Is that really what some are arguing in this thread?
We have addressed your nonsense, you simply don’t like facts that are inconvenient so you create straw men.
It’s a statistical fact, however no one has said it’s the skin color itself that is causing it. That is your straw man.
Why do you think that COVID-19 hit the African American community harder? Could it be that they are ignoring social distancing requirements? As I have posted many times, I live in a city that has a 76% population. Every where I go, there are African Americans that are not practicing social distancing. As I have also stated that some individuals have threaten physical violence for asking them to back up. Every store has stickers on the floor telling customer where to stand to practice social distance, but these are ignored by many in the African Americans community. I have passed food banks, and see the African Americans standing no more then two feet apart. So, if they are ignoring social distancing, then it stands to reason that they would be hit harder by this virus. Those in my city have also ignored the states shutdown order. They have opened their bars, and they are packed every night. The rioters are ignoring social distancing. The participants of these protests have caused a flair up of reported cases of COVID-19.
They are pointing out black people as a statistic, not claiming their blackness caused it. That is your straw man.
Calling names is not addressing. If it's not skin color what is it? Why keep addressing it as black people?
I haven’t called you names, simply pointing out you are speaking nonsense and I have addressed it appropriately. Because they are the statistical Anomaly when it comes to crime. That’s not the same as claiming it is their skin color as the cause. If you can’t acknowledge this then we have no where to go till you do, but persistence is key so I’m more than willing to participate as long as necessary.
You have not called names. Correct. But you said we. 1 has. Many of the posts begin. Black people per capital commit the most crimes. The only description posted is a skin color. If skin color isn't the intention. Why bring it up?
Because it’s a statistical fact, I can point that out without attributing skin color as the cause. That is a straw man you are creating. Truth matters regardless of how inconvenient.
To which you didn't respond regarding the fact that they commit 51% of the homicide in this country. You ignored the facts because you don't want to admit it.
I didn't ignore it. Just don't think the color of skin is the reason. I think it's many different factors.
