This is why they kneel

[metswon69]

the context is that many are unaware that white people are shot and killed by police at all. I've seen the narrative on social media. too many people are morons and only aware of what media covers, which is almost exclusively black people being shot and killed by police. they don't know the statistics. that is why some that do know say hey guess what this is who is also being shot and killed.

White people represent 62% of the American population. Black people make up 13%. It stands to reason that more white people will be killed by cops because they outnumber black people by almost 5 to 1. Its a nonsense fact. The odds of being shot and killed by a cop are significantly higher if you are black though.

Racist cops are good for ratings. Not saying even most shootings are unjustified but we have seen a lot of white cops killing black people unnecessarily as of the last so many years.

I've covered this before. black people are impacted by racism far more than white people, but that does not mean that white people are not victims of racism. racism is wrong, period, regardless who it is against.

debatable, and that has also been a problem. some conclude that a shooting of someone black was wrong regardless of details, just like the white police that was vilified by LeBron James after a justified shooting.

the issue with why people bring up the statistics is not who is happening to more, it's that people are unaware that it's happening to white people at all.

what would the media coverage be if a Republican was a member of an all white club.

racism, overwhelming racism, with the left throwing typical from a Republican.

when it's a Democrat? nothing that I've seen.

Rhode Island senator defends membership to all-white club, cites 'tradition'

Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse defended his family’s decadeslong membership to an all-white private club in his home state.

The Democrat called the all-white clubs in Rhode Island “a long tradition” and defended his membership to Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport last Friday during an interview with news outlet GoLocal.

“It's a long tradition in Rhode Island, and there are many of them, and I think we just need to work our way through the issues, thank you,” he said.

“I think the people who are running the place are still working on that, and I’m sorry it hasn't happened yet,” Whitehouse added when he was asked if the club had admitted any minorities since the local outlet uncovered the issue of the club’s demographics four years ago.

there is a conversation to be had here whether this club is racist or maybe slow to make changes, as well as this from a Democrat compared to a Republican.

That's not debatable. I'm not one who thinks details are irrelevant though. Not everything is racially motivated but black people have very different experiences with cops than white people do. Something you don't probably get being a suburban white Canadian.

Its still nonsense because its devoid of the climate we are in. Its a statement made to try and level the playing field (your favorite). Except it completely ignores the reasons in which cops may be more likely to kill black people and why so many of those encounters end up deadly.

Then why do you post so much about the latter and not the former?

I agree.

you are not getting the point. when some say police shoot white people more, the push back from some on social media is that is simply not happening. some do not think the police are doing that, which is contradicted by the statistics. that is why statistics are mentioned, to say to the idiots that want to deny it, see this is happening too.

[SpecialFNK]

because it's already known and established. nobody is arguing against that, or at least shouldn't be.

some are still dumb enough to think that black people simply can not be racist, or that white people can not be the victims of racism.

we know racism against black people has been an ongoing problem, media loves to talk about it. other racism such as impacted white people, not so much.

you just quoted me yet again with nothing related to politics. you can not stop, this is your obsession. you proved me right.

try again. you will win if you do the bold. don't quote me, don't talk about me, or post something about politics related to any discussion.

I get your point. The motivations behind shooting black people and white people can be vastly different however. How often are white people being killed by cops for the reasons of racism or because of preconceived racist stereotypes? Hardly any. The odds are overwhelming that a white person killed by a cop is killed because of the actions of said white perpetrator.

With black people that's not nearly the same. The likelihood of you being killed by a cop (most of which are white) go up dramatically just based on the color of your skin. That's a problem. The ends dont always justify the means and a big part of that is cops come into a job with certain beliefs that may lead to more violent altercations with people of color. I'm not saying every time a cop kills a black person its unjustified. I'm saying cops need to learn better discretion and that comes with more training, more diversity in hiring, more community involvement, better education, etc.

There are people in this very forum that are arguing against that. Maybe you should correct them.

this could be a problem, that the perception is police are only or even mostly killing black people for nothing other than race.

I could see there are more incidents of police shooting someone black where race did play a role, but too often some jump to the conclusion that that was the only reason. the one recent shooting where the police mistakenly used her gun instead of a taser, was that racially motivated, or more likely because the person that happened to be black was resisting and not complying. that happens too and some only want to conclude it was racial.
