You've obviously never read my posts or you're in "parrot fox news" mode.
I've said numerous times that racism is a matter of power and influence. If a black person had power and influence and then made decisions based on race to limit access to another race, then that's racism.
The reason racism is so easily thought of as a white on black thing is because......well, most of history and current events.
Racism could have been a factor in Tyre's killing. Its not difficult to believe that cops develop stereotypical attitudes towards people of their own race based on the interactions they have with certain communities on a daily basis. Many of which are confrontational and culminate from criminal behavior that is more prevalent in certain areas.
Police brutality and systemic racism dont always have to be connected. There are a significant amount of ******* cops out there who abuse their power irrespective of who they are dealing with. That happens when power goes unchecked and the protections of the blue wall extend so far. That said, police brutality doesnt exist in a vacuum and plenty of people take issue with it even if circumstances involve cops and individuals of the same race.
Kneeling is not just about systemic/institutional racism.

It’s ****ing ridiculous that you’re repeating posts that I and dozens of others have made here…like 10 years ago.
I appreciate the effort but some folks around here don’t care about facts or critical thinking if it goes against their stubborn and ignorant *** narrative.

I’m surprised nobody has pointed out that police forces and the prison industrial complex are pretty white supremacist in nature.
Cops being black doesn’t have much to do with it because at the end of the day if they’re going into the job with the perception of changing it from within…they’re naive. It’s a white system that is built on targeting minorities…to put it to bluntly. By going into the system, their race doesn’t really matter because they become a part of the system that upholds racist values

Jason Whitlock blames Nichols’ death on single black mothers and blames Memphis’ Officer’s actions on having a black woman as their Police Commissioner.
