Racism of the Gaps

Which is still no reason to be a racist.

 

Retract that statement. Otherwise you will be reported.

 

Now lets look at the facts.

Fact: Most deaths at the hands of law enforcement are after the person resisted arrest. That is true whether the person is black or white.

Fact: Blacks are eight times as likely to resist arrest as whites.

Conclusion. It is not surprising that blacks are more likely to be killed by law enforcement than whites. The blacks are dying at the hands of law enforcement primarily as a result of their own actions.

Don't resist and live.

Resist and you stand a greater chance of being killed.

This lesson needs to be emphasized by black leaders.

 

Maybe not. Let's take a look the police shootings of unarmed blacks. I'm not familiar with the details of all 9 of those that occurred last year. Is it reasonable to assume that resisting arrest was a factor in them? It certainly was the case in the two recent shootings.

I'm actually on the side of the victims these shootings but I also know that neither would have happened without the resistance to arrest. Doesn't the arrest resistance perpetuate what is a very rare occurrence. I think both cops committed murder. But I don't think it would have happened without the arrest resistance.

 

No. Are you claiming that BLM is a myth?

 

I never said you specifically were a racist so stop accusing me of something I didn’t do.

 

Still no reason for people to be racist

 

Still no reason for people to be racist.

 

"said you specifically"?? The implications have been there frequently.

 

Both blacks and whites are more apt to be killed by law enforcement, if they resist. Blacks resist more and therefore they get killed more.

Provide an counter argument other than just crying "racist".

 

You’re still not getting it. Resisting arrest at a higher rate is still no reason for people to be racist.

 

It's not a reason, but it's an explanation.

 

Maybe for the ignorant

 

What is not understood on the part of yourself, is that it is not being claimed resisting arrest is being used as an excuse for individuals to hold racist views. Rather, the point being made, is that those who conduct themselves in a manner that suggests a predisposition to engaging in criminal acts, serves as an explanation for racist views may be held by others.

 

Semantics on the part of you. And neither case is a reason to be racist. End of story.

 

If one group of individuals chooses to represent itself through negative criminal activity, that is ultimately how it chooses to represent itself to society at large. If this is not how they wish to be seen, perhaps they should refrain from resisting arrest so much, and instead conduct themselves in a mature, respectful manner.

 

Hopefully all those living in shithole cities like Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, much of CA, NYC and a few others will not mind giving up and will happily turn in all those one, twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollar bills to pay for the destruction caused due to the spineless politicians who refused to stop the rioting, looting and burning with a massive show of force immediatey after it started.
The faces on those tainted bills are of past slaveholders. In lew of flowers, I am sending in a tiny violin.

 

ECA is the epitome of the point of this thread and he's still here screaming racism and completely oblivious. Totally hilarious.

 

Except not all black people are criminals who resist arrest. Therefore it’s not ok to be racist towards black people because of the actions of some black people. See how that works?

 

How so?

 

ha ha ha ha oblivious!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha

 

Seems it’s you who is oblivious. Hahahahaha

 

And yet it is apparently acceptable to be racists towards white individuals on the basis of what a few extremist groups do. Why is it acceptable in one example but not the other? Does the current generation have to pay for the crimes and sins of ancestors they never even knew? If so for how long? When can the modern day white individuals be free from blame for what happened centuries ago? When will the black community see fit to move on and finally let go of what happened to them?

 

Um....where did I say it was acceptable to be racist towards white people? I’ll wait for you to supply any quote by me stating it’s acceptable to be racist towards white people. Good luck.

 

Who was racist? The accurate response is that it is not justification for killing someone. Like I said, the cops were wrong.
