    No such claim was directed at yourself. Rather it is merely being noted how in the society of the united states it seems perfectly acceptable for whites to be targeted for racism.

    Who says it’s perfectly acceptable to be racist towards white individuals?

    First, I HAVE addressed "that racism". But what are you getting at with your first paragraph here? We all know the media always functions to seek maximum profits. If they think a story is hot, they publish it. But we don't even know what country that video came from. So now what do you mean by "just some white chick so nobody gives a damn"? 1) How do you know "nobody gives a damn" and 2) do you apply that to posters here?

    I see the source is Twitter. Did FOX News carry this incident? How about any of the other conservative news sites?

    No. You are not getting it. Resisting arrest results in confrontation which frequently turns violent. That occurs with both blacks and whites, but the blacks resist arrest eight times as often.

    I made nothing up. It, in fact, does appear that way to me. I invite you to prove that it doesn't appear that way to me.

    I haven’t argued against that. As usual you have no idea how to follow a conversation

    You’re making assumptions based on no evidence. Show me where I claimed to believe there is systematic racism. My proof that your assumption is incorrect is that I have never made any such claim that I believe there is institutional racism. But by all means go ahead and try to find such a post.

    OF course Fox News did not cover it, no conservative sites covered it. There are individuals out there that do though (and they keep getting banned from social media for their efforts). It happens all the time and it happens in public and these geniuses film it and put it on World Star Hip Hop. This one features kicks to the face (so I guess you could say this white woman is shining a black mans shoes.... with her face). Ginger woman probably had it coming... amirite?

    Whether I have no idea how to follow a conversation or not makes no difference. You have provided zero evidence of racial bias. The facts support the tendency of blacks to resist arrest which leads to confrontation and possible death.

    Why on earth would you think she had it coming? What is wrong with you?
    Do you believe every conservative news site is also in cahoots with liberal media in not covering black on white crime? If you do believe such, what do you believe is the reason?

    You’re not getting it. Even if black resist arrest more than whites it’s still not a reason to be racist towards black people. Not sure why you aren’t getting this simple concept. Oh wait...never mind...

    Holy f’ing christ. You made the claim below. I merely countered back that there is no reason to be racist. It’s my opinion. You can have your opinion that’s it’s ok to be racist. We will just never agree on that.

    I believe conservative news sites suppress those kinds of videos because they don't want to get down in the dirt with the liberals. They think they have some kind of moral superiority by avoiding it. What they have is a losing strategy in the culture war. They are idiots. There are no morals in a culture war, there is only winning and losing. The conservatives are being utterly demolished. There will be a rising tide of white nationalists and violence, you can bank on it. When only one side of the argument is entertained, the other side is radicalized.

    I could go on forever with this. This white woman gets beat and jammed into a freezer. All three instances I have posted occurred in the last WEEK! There is an epidemic of this and nobody gives a damn.

    I have never said that its OK to be racist. That is the attitude that will get you reported. Keep personalities out of the discussion.
    Yes, there is racism towards blacks. That racism is perpetuated by their own behavior. That does not automatically mean that their deaths at the hands of police are due to racism. They tend to resist arrest which results in confrontation which sometimes elevates to where it ends in death. That attitude is likely to result in deaths whether law enforcement is racist or not.

    The way to end the deaths is to stop resisting arrest. However, black leadership and black role models practically encourage them to resist. It is not complicated.

    Take a look at what I said. It has two parts.
    1. There is racism towards blacks.
    2. There own behavior tends to perpetuate that attitude.

    1. Explanation. There are a lot of racists in this world; black, white yellow and brown. That is the way it is. It is not likely to ever completely change.

    2. Explanation. When blacks behave in negative ways, it tends to perpetuate that racism. That part can only change if the blacks change. It is not likely that will ever completely change either.

    If you substitute white for black above, it would also be true. Blacks are as racist as whites.

    Now separate issue. Forget all the above for a few minutes and concentrate. It is not racist to state the facts. Blacks tend to resist arrest eight times the rate of whites. Most of the deaths at law enforcement hands follow resisting arrest. That may or may not mean the death was justified. It depends on whether there were reasonable alternatives. We can argue the reasonable alternatives, but the basic problem of resisting arrest cannot be argued. It stands a strong chance of ending badly for the person being arrested.

    Look at what you're saying, how does one individual black man resist arrest at any "higher than normal rate"? Each person, white or black, or any color whatsoever is just one particular person, yet you are treating each one as if they themselves are the whole black ethnicity. If you, as a white person, are stopped by the police, you will be treated as one individual person. That is what you will expect and that is pretty much exactly what will happen. If you are a black person that still might happen, but that is your hope, and not your certainty. You might, and probably will, be treated well and given a polite greeting and pleasant experience. However, you might also be beaten and have a cop sit on your neck until you die. That is unlikely, but not extremely far outside the range of probability let alone nearly impossible as it would be in your case. (assuming you are white)

    The way to end the deaths is for the police to stop killing the individual black man

    According to a study conducted by the City of San Francisco, blacks resisted arrest eight times as often as whites. Don't resist arrest whether you are black brown or purple.

    They might address me politely, but getting a ticket is not a pleasant experience. However, I do not resist. I just say yes sir, no sir and take my ticket and pay it. I have always deserved the ticket I received. I do pull one trick that might have gotten me a warning instead. I carry my drivers license behind my military ID in my wallet. When I pull out my drivers license, they see the retired military ID. A couple of times when I did that I got a warning. I am polite and do not ask for special treatment. Maybe it worked. Maybe it didn't. Maybe it was just because I was polite.

    I've left more than one post in this thread for you and you won't reply? If you won't explain and defend your posts, maybe you shouldn't post them!

    Did you ever think about why social media bans them? I suppose you have a conspiracy theory to cover it. That beating of the white girl, for example, may have happened 10 years ago in the UK or Germany or even Russia. You don't know and you don't seem to care as long as it serves your agenda.

    They all happened in the last week. There are people who compile that kind of information. Hundreds of incidents every year. I do not have a problem with the MSM not highlighting them, it is probably for the best. My problem is the hypocrisy. They incessantly show videos going the other way in an attempt to distort reality. People literally believe white people are oppressing minorities because only certain videos EVER hit the mainstream. There is only ONE reason to show such videos and blackball others, to cause blacks to fear/hate whites and for whites to feel guilt.

    It is incitement and every single MSM outlet does it. The statistics tell the truth and the blackballed videos show the other side. Ask yourself why the MSM refuses to publish the statistics. I believe it is because they want to use anecdotes to prove that black problems are the result of white oppression, stripping blacks of agency and filling whites with guilt. Black problems will never be solved with virtue signalling, they will be solved by the culture in the inner city changing (and that is a problem that liberal lawmakers have no interest in addressing).

    That retired military ID card is privilege all in itself when dealing with cops.

    I was going to do that, but I don't feel like making the effort. I did follow the one string of posts back, though.

    If you remember; I said one other thing. That other thing wad that I could be wrong.

    I don't know what happened. I might have confused you with another poster.

    Anyway, it looks like I was mistaken. Sorry.
