I'm not talking about ancient history. I am 64 today. I have lived long enough to see injustice. O am not saying it doesn't happen, but I have also seen people compare criminals unequally. A lotThats an assumption.It really is pretty widespread and it has gone on for generations.No, it isn’t always fair. But is it as widespread as you make it? Money talks. Black or white, if your family has money, you likely get off easier. Is it apples to apples? If someone is a repeat offender, they will probably get a harsher punishment. If someone is caught with a little weed in his pocket, he will get off easier than someone with a pound.Generation poverty, unemployment, underemployment, poor schools, segregation and the fact that young Black men get far harsher prison sentences for the crime committed than any other race in the country takes its toll on a population.What do you mean? You want to put anyone who is black in your debate? Everyone should stereotype for you and like you?Who told you BLM was about that?It's quite simple, if a "White" man disagrees with ANYTHING a person of color wants or thinks he is "Racist". It really is just that simple.
I'm not limiting it to BLM.
You aren't very good at this. My statement is true, more than not feel just that way.
ESPECIALLY the resident black posters here.
If he isn't very good at this, you're even worse.
"If a 'White' man disagrees with ANYTHING a person of color wants or thinks he is 'Racist'." This is a racist statement. You follow that with "My statement is true, more than not feel just that way". While your statement is NOT true, you are correct that many (not most) people feel that way. This is proof that systemic racism is a serious problem in America.
I know that's not what you thought you were proving, but with your standard conservative pretzel logic, you manage to shoot yourself in the foot. Every. Single. Time.
It is true and you're an idiot.I've never shot myself in ay foot honey. Go peddle your "White Guilt" elsewhere.
I'm not "peddling" anything. I'm just pointing out your "truth" which you acknowledge is widely believed, is not only a fallacy, but a racist fallacy at that. Thank you for acknowledging that racism is wide spread and systemic. It's a beginning. The next step is to acknowledge that it's harming the WHOLE nation, and not just black people.
It's neither widespread nor systemic.
Imagine if someone stupidly said "based on the stats, we can see that blacks are just systemtically criminals" it isn't true.
Just using YOUR numbers, let's say 1000 Americans were killed by police in this country and assume that each of them was due to bad behavior by the police, and we'll even assume 100% of them were black so that we can come up with the most generous numbers to your argument.
Last year there were roughly 2.2M black people arrested in this country.
We'll use that number as the basis for both arguments.
There are roughly 42M blacks in the US,
So 5% of the black population was arrested last year. 5% proves that blacks are not systemically criminal. I'm sure you would agree. It's not like 50% of blacks are breaking the law, it's actually a very lower number. Whites are around 2.5%, Asians, around 1%. Relatively speaking all are very small numbers, and of course we'd like to see lower figures, but the reality is when you have a free society, you're going to have more criminal behavior. Not much you can do about that.
Now, let's look at the 1,000 deaths. Even if every single one of them were black, you would be talking about less than .5% of blacks arrested by cops last year were killed by those cops. if you figure the real numbers, and see that we're talking about 1,000 deaths in 11M arrests. that's less than 1/10th of percent.
So unless you are prepared to argue that 5% of blacks being arrested proves that blacks are systemic criminals there is no logical way you can reach the conclusion that .01% of arrests ending in the suspect being killed by police proves that we have systemic police brutality in this country.
And of course there is the anecdotal evidence that proves the lie. If this country was so racist, and Democrats cared as much about black and brown people as they say they do , they would NOT be encouraging the daily deluge of black and brown people who come to this country looking for safety , even at the risk of their own lives.
This is a made up bullshit argument by Democrats who know that their voters are stupid. Plain and simple.
Your entire line of reasoning based is based on a racist system of violent over policing, so ALL of the numbers used are skewed to the excessive number of police interactions with minorities are heavily skewed against minorities.
White kids have their pot confiscated and are sent on their way. White kids have a future and we don't want their "boys will be boys behaviour" to hamper their job and education prospects for the rest of their lives, just over a little weed. Young blacks and young white use marijuana at about the same rates.
Black kids get arrested for the same thing.

Black people are 13% of the population but commit 52% of the murders in America.

This has all been going on for years and still is
There is plenty of historical evidence and I have actually lived it have you?
