With that in mind, twice as many white people are killed by black people than vice versa. Should white people be twice as outraged that for every Abery there’s two white people?

There are 6 times as many whites as blacks, so even with your analogy, blacks should still be 3 times as outraged.

WE AGREE ON SOMETHING....FINALLY!
Society doesn't seem to want to see the big picture!
The big picture being...people need to be treated equally regardless of race, sex, or creed...it's right there in the Constitution.

But as Nastynice pointed out, you’re distinguishing between racially motivated and racism.

Racially motivated to you means they followed him because the description of the their was black. We’re talking about racism. What your saying is like saying casting a black man to play Martin Luther King Jr was racially motivated because the casting calls for a black man.

We are talking about racism. So were these guys racist or not?

Society’s too busy seeing black people mistreated by the system to focus on your big picture of how the system isn’t mistreating them.

# of deaths by a person of a different race would only consider percentage of the population if the two races were actively trying to extinguish the other. In that sense, yes, white people are killing more of the overall black population than black people are killing the overall white population. That being said, a black persons has decided to kill a white person twice as many times than a white person has decided to kill a black person.

No. I’m not talking about fitting a description. I’m saying the mcmichaels assumed Abery was shady because he was black. They were very prejudice towards him.

And I agree. Calling him the n word afterwards is racist.

Except unlike the first two, the police shouldn't be abolished. Just needs major reform and accountability.

the President of the United States of America, doesn't approve of people kneeling during the American national anthem. not shocking.

this with Drew Brew is yet another example of what I have talked about, another situation where people/media are focusing on the method of protest.

we can't let the murder of George Floyd happen again.

Quote:

Hopefully George is looking down and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. (It's) a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody,"

the protesting is great. arresting the officers is great.

what did Trump say that was wrong?
