    And yours is an example of someone who ignores the reality he doesn't like. Fans sent a message last year to the NFL on this very issue, and it was strong enough apparently that they appeared to have handled it.

    Enjoy the games. Bet you can get a seat to any one of them you want to see this year, even last minute. :wink:

    White people do equal to more drugs than black people, yet black people are incarcerated over this with freak high numbers. Black people do more time than white people on average when convicted with similar criminal background. White people get on parole much earlier than black people. Black people get killed by cops more often % wise.

    All in all... seems perfectly legit that these "unexplainable" numbers are cause enough to protest against the entire law and order institute who is the basis of this racism.

    only shows they let white people buy and sell drugs hardly unopposed and just hit the streets to hunt black people.

    Typically its 20% longer.

    Point remains the GOP has a problem with violent protesting against exceptionally clear way black people are still getting the short straw, as well as they have a problem with peaceful protesting.

    Football is a dying sport. Injecting politics into it as a catalyst has only sped up the process.

    Brett Favre says children should not play football.

    My assertion to which you replied "absolutely not" was only about absolute numbers. You are absolutely wrong about the actual discussion and right in the strawman you created. But that was by design.

    I understand perfectly. You are the one who does not. My statement was accurate. You just don't like hearing the truth.

    Your statement does not acknowledge in any way that %-wise the police is killing far more black people compared to the % of the black community in the US.

    Doesn't acknowledge who won the super bowl last year either. Doesn't make my statement any less factual. And police interact most frequently with those who commit crimes. Blacks more frequently commit crimes. Especially violent crimes that more frequently lead to police use of deadly force.
    The higher incidence of blacks being shot by the police has as much to do with discrimination as the higher incidence of police shooting males has to do with discrimination. NOTHING whatsoever.

    White people do equal to even more drug related crime.... yet far more black people get convicted over this.
    So that places doubts on what you say. Because your numbers undoubtingly are about convicted black people.

    No they don't. Blacks are more likely to sell drugs.

    Surveys of victims of violent crime ALSO confirm, blacks more frequently commit violent crime. Just as the arrest statistics show. There have been surveys that show illegal drug use among blacks and white are about equal. Most arrest aren't for drug use, they are for sales of drugs. As well, blacks tendency to sell openly on the streets could more than explain the difference in arrests.

    Black and white Americans sell and use drugs at similar rates, but black Americans are 2.7 times as likely to be arrested for drug-related offenses.

    Well, I see the claim made by the Brookings Institute and a graph with "authors calculations" included as a source. Tend to doubt most of what the Brookings institute puts out.

    The source is the National Crime Victimization Survey. Just the first thing I see making reference to it in google

    There's also the National Crime Victimization Survey, which questions victims of crimes, whether or not the criminal was captured, as to the race and ethnicity of the suspect. It turns out that the race of the arrested matches the percentage given by victims. So unless victims are lying about the race of their assailant, unconcerned about whether he gets caught, blacks are not being "overarrested."

    It says crimes committed. You're guilty until proven innocent. Hence we're talking about people who have been arrested. It's just like the drugs thing. Black people get arrested far more often, while white people do the same amount or even more drugs.

    For those of you just tuning in, let me explain what's going on.

    Even though more white people are shot by cops than black people, the NFL kneelers are only protesting the blacks who are shot and haven't mentioned a word about the whites and somehow the cops are racist and not the kneelers.

    What are the demographics on crime? Last I heard, the biggest issue America had was crime with black on black killings and their respective neighborhoods were destroying cities with "ghetto creep".

    My neighborhood is very affluent. So affluent our police works with us, we rarely get speeding tickets in our community and crime is so low we rarely have any issues. The better you serve the community, the better the community will serve you.

    who cares, these police are just upset and defending their bad cops I guess as that is what the protest is about, good cops should be as against bad cops as everyone else is

    good cops defending bad cops is like the church defending bad preachers... why?

    Why do white people love for cops to shoot them?
