George Floyd - America so f**ked up

I thought you’d deflect. Can’t bring yourself to criticise the cold blooded attempted murder of two police officers? Tells us everything we need to know tbh. 

I should add that I don’t think it’s for BLM to comment really as it’s not a Black Death, so not their remit. They should (because of their name) take more interest in black people dying at the hands of other black people, but this is not their concern imo. But there is something to be said about how the peace and love ultra-woke don’t seem to have anything to say about this shooting though. As someone on Twitter pointed out, almost exactly 19 years ago first responders were the toast of America during the terrorist attack on America’s liberty, today Police are seen as lower than dirt in the eyes of the public and an incident like this passes without mention.

Incidents like this are like watering in the pool though- it ruins it for everyone else because American Police have even more justification for the use of weapons when you have nutcases on the streets who can do things like this. It inverts the narrative of black people being scared of Police, Police will be just as scared of black people if you can get crazed nutters doing stuff like this presumably as some sort of revenge attack for the current climate. If this guy gets picked up and is given “a few digs” during his arrest I wonder what the narrative will be? Will he be called a villain, or hailed as a hero?

Interesting times....

Strange how many people think it is only black people being shot by the police in the USA

www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

I don’t think anyone is saying white people aren’t shot (they are and in similar circumstances to black people) the argument is the proportion, black people are shot disproportionately to the size of population. Does that automatically equate to racism? Nothing else could possibly be a factor?

BLM doesn't address anything.

Of course there's racism, there are individuals who dislike other people because of their race, no question about it. There are people who don't like Blacks, don't like Whites, don't like Hispanics, don't like Native Americans, don't like Asians, don't like Jews etc, whether you like it or not, you are allowed to not like people, it may be vile, odious or unpleasant , but you're allowed to, as long as it's within the law and you don't harm anybody

But the narrative from organisations like BLM, the Left and the Mainstream Media that Blacks are still oppressed, that Systemic or institutional Racism is rife, that Police brutality is disproportionately aimed at Blacks, they are hunted down and murdered by the Police, and that Blacks are incarcerated for no reason is absolute bullshit in modern day America.

All I do is ask for evidence, where is the evidence that Blacks are oppressed?

Systemic or Institutional Racism? Where are the corporations or organisations that have a policy of not hiring Blacks? Are there Government agencies that have a policy of not hiring Blacks? The answer is no, again all I ask for is evidence, give me some examples or give me some names, and then we can deal with it. Nobody can though, because again it's made up bullshit.

If it was 1950's America then I might get it, but not in 2020, it's no longer the case.

The racism that people talk about now is individual stuff, where some individual doesn't like somebody, but is it anything like what Blacks were experiencing in the 50's and 60's? No, in fact it's gone full circle, where some universities have Black and POC(Who invented that term?) only meetings, seminars, video calls and other spaces. Martin Luther King will be spinning in his grave, so much for being judged on your character, not the colour of your skin.

The only way to deal with this is tell the truth and deal with facts, unfortunately BLM, the Left and the Mainstream Media don't.

Until BLM deal with facts and the truth and be honest then it will always be a sham.

It isn't strange Oldie.

The numbers I put up are straight from the U. S census Bureau, Income, Poverty and Health Insurance coverage.

I didn't say that Blacks were not bottom of the median income table.

What I actually said was that 65% of Black Americans fall into the American Middle Class, which granted is pretty vague, as according to the U.S Census Bureau, Income, Poverty and health Insurance Coverage, The Pew Institute and others, the American Middle Class is made up of people making somewhere between $40,000 and $100,000.

There is a massive range of definitions of what "Middle Class" is, from wholly subjective opinions or specific measures as listed in the sources i've already given.

In Baltimore, yes 62.5% of Baltimores population is Black, but the 30% White population of Baltimore are also eligible for those same school meals. It's a Democratic "Initiative", I use that term loosely, in Baltimore, a City that has a Black Mayor, Black Comptroller, Black President of the City Council, Black State Attorney etc, etc. It isn't just a Black issue in Baltimore, just because the majority of the population is Black, where 99.9% of the people running Baltimore are Black as well.

I am not misinterpreting or playing with numbers. If you think i'm wrong, then that's up to you, but all the evidence points that I am not wrong at all.

I haven't said otherwise.

Of course that's how the median(Average) works.

White's are not top of the median table, people in the US of Asian heritage outperform them and everybody else in pretty much every way, whether it's income, Academic achievements, or anything else.

If the US was such a systemically or institutionally racist society where people of different races are oppressed, then how are Asians able to flourish?

Again we need to deal with facts, White people are not disproportionately killing Blacks, the Police are not either, the same level of opportunity is available for them as anybody else.

We need to stop with these fake notions, false narratives and damn right lie's regarding Black people in modern day America, and in this country as well.

That link you posted, doesn't work by the way.

From CNN. Left wing propaganda at its finest.

As I've already pointed out in this thread, it's true that the average sentence given to Blacks is more than Whites, but it's also true that the average Black criminal has a longer criminal record than the average White criminal.

When it comes to the sentencing, they take into account your criminal record, the severity of the crime, etc, etc

Again we need to look at the facts, Black people in America commit a lot more violent crime, you just need to look at the homicide statistics. The higher sentences are also down to drug offences which have always been severe, which Black people commit more of.

This notion that Black people are just chucked in jail for nothing and they are given longer sentences just for the hell of it is absolute bullshit.

More White criminals as a % are incarcerated far more than Asians, why is that? Maybe because Asian Americans are low on every single crime statistic and don't commit these crimes at the same level as other races.

Asian Americans outperform everybody else in pretty much every sector as well. Must be institutional racism? Of course.

Cmon let's deal with the facts.

It never happens....say the apologists
