Theres no reason to say other races because there is a particular prejudice against blacks, a prejudice which many times carries with it the very real consequences of death and incarceration, for otherwise innocent individuals. This is very widespread and certain people are trying to address it. They are addressing it by pointing out that black lives matter just as much as any other race.Quote:

Many harnful stereotypes exist.

Again you’re saying that Hispanics and Indian Americans haven’t suffered the same injustice as black Americans?Quote:

Black people commit the most crime than any other race. If you compare the amount of crimes from black Americans to Indian Americans it’s not even close. They will likely face more encounters with police officers which then can be blamed for racial profiling and other stupid stuff. There’s no doubt there are some racist police officers but statistics don’t lie and statistically they are more likely to encounter police officers in potentially violent situations.
How about instead of marching and protesting about police you try to solve the main problem is why there’s so much crime in black minority communities? What makes young black Americans commit violent gun/gang activity? Obviously the political system Im sure has some affect to that. People being arrested for non violent drug activity or weed. Young kids growing up without fathers because of that. But until people in their own community talk about these tough questions the root cause of the problem will remain

Many of us dont think this is conducive to a healthy, fruitful America. We think the exact opposite.

People in these communities DO talk about these issues you brought up. But that is pointless unless the actual system which had perpetuated such environments actually starts cleaning up the mess that it made.Quote:

hmm, I don't disagree at all with any of this....except when you say there's a particular prejudice against blacks.....I guarantee most of the same prejudices exist for other groups, but I don't mean that to sound like I'm lessening those against blacksQuote:

A 7 year old black girl was shot and killed. How many mentions in the media were there on this? How many rallies or protests were held? But then when someone gets killed up in MSP it leads to protests and riots/looters but yet people will be silent when minorities are being gunned down.
I also mentioned in my previous post about how a lot of minorities suffer from unfair systems but often people are silent about the fact gang crimes and other stuff effect people in your community more than any other reason imo

I mean pretty much all races outside of whites have suffered the same discrimination and other prejudices as black people but black people are statistically more likely to commit crimes and face police encounters than the other races.Quote:

It’s also funny when someone asks why people are offended when someone says “All Lives Matter” considering the only reason people say ALM is because they’re offended someone says “Black Lives Matter”
And if people say white lives matter people will get offended and call that person racistQuote:

First, no one is silent about gang crimes, those concerns don't make the press outside Chicago. I live in Chicago. Preacher talk about it, parent fear it and the mayor have spoken about it numerous times. I know, if it's on FOX or Tweeter or whatever you get your news it isn't happening Watch a Chicago newsfeed for a month. I can recognize crime scenes by the candles and notes of condolences left by people on that spot.Quote:

When this happens we pleaded to the government to stop this drug traffic into our communities, forty years later it is still coming in.
Some ask to legalize drugs and let the government control the distribution to addicts like Europe has done which led to their massive drop in drug crimes, violence, and gang warfare. And surprise, their children do use drugs at the rate ours do. Cause the government controls them not the punk on the corner. The same result with the Italian mafia when the government allows the legal selling of booze again. The level of teen usages of booze dropped. Nope
Forty some years we had to deal with this gang violence and killing and the burden to solve it is left to poor communities and cash strapped city government to solve. If you have any suggestions to solve the drug trafficking that leads to these high homicide rates let us know, but don't sit there and act like we are not concern about it or silent about it.
When we seek to solve the police aggressiveness we went straight to the government and protest they should do something about their employees. Constitutionally, we have this recourse. How do you confront violent lawless gang members with protest signs when they have guns and know your children and where you live? Which problem would you gravitate to first? Which is the low hanging fruit?
well, not the ONLY reason, but I've already been down that rabbit holeQuote:

Just like BLM doesn't mean all black lives matter.Quote:

Yes, exactly, they are selecting black lives which fall victim to the system, in this instance especially the police system.Quote:

No, but systemic racism IS a part of that equation.Quote:

Ok. Here's my problem with that. I keep being told that racism in its entirety and the oppression of black people in its entirety is about systemic (just made myself 10 bucks) political racism. I have even been told that the death of that 7 year old girl in Atlanta was caused by systemic (up to $20) racism.Quote:

Jesus wasn't conceived by sexual intercourse. The Bible never states (or explicitly refutes) that Jesus shared Mary's DNA, but given the circumstances of his conception, divine intervention by the Holy Spirit, it's unlikely that he shared her DNA. The only thing we know of his appearance is that he was a very ordinary looking Jew.Quote:

The Bible also says you can’t touch a woman on her period and condones slavery so maybe “magical fairy book says guy who was born and lived in a region where nobody was white was maybe white” is a dumb argument.Quote:
