Emphasis added. You opened the door as to what led to racism. Who mentioned undoing what was done 400 years ago? Who said calling out racism was 'the strategy?' Like I said, racism against Blacks existed long before Black communities existed. Peacefully protest, and we'll be nice. Stop peacefully protesting on your knees, and we'll be nice. YOU: Stop doing crime in your community, and we'll be nice. A racist is a racist. They aren't racist because of what's going on in another person's community. Just own your racism, and stop making excuses.
Except that every "blacks are thugs" argument I've ever heard is usually followed by " it's in their nature" or "that behavior can't be corrected" or "it's their low iq".
I think most people see it as cultural. Even on FOX a news they frame it that way. The crime spikes didn’t begin until the urbanization of black people. Poor urban people are simply more prone to gang-related activity as the demand for illicit behavior introduces a supply. The people who see blacks as inherently violent are a minority. Recognizing the amount of crime from the black community is an important step towards fixing a lot of the problems.
Let me know when you want to have a discussion rather than claim your way is the only way without evidence.
You don’t think that seeing the data, hearing stories, and turning on the local news is not influencing people’s perceptions? Really? Go walk down inner city blocks tough guy. Tell me how safe you feel. I know several people who’ve been jumped. I have black friends, but one of them told me that they were a minority. Most aren’t able to escape the culture. This is a liberal black doctor who has protested with BLM. I am educated. I know the history. I know the events that led to the situation black people are in today. If you can’t point the finger at black people and say that they too need to make some changes for things to work when it’s appropriate you’re the one being racist. I’ve lost all hope for racism ending in my lifetime. It’s clear to me that both sides of the argument just want to hate each other. Nobody wants to solve the problems. I have not seen any serious police reform proposals that will change the situation, because there’s no way to change the bias towards black people unless the economic conditions improve in the black demographics.
Recognizing we have a two tiered justice system that hardly punishes white collar crime and tax dodging may help minorities the system isn't skewed against them. Hell imagine if we criminalized political bribery instead of making it legal
What racism is there today? That guy drove a car that was not currently licensed. He resisted arrest, even drove away in a moment of confusion. And the weapon was a tragic mistake. His brains should have been tasered and fried instead.
Really? Madoff just died in prison you moron. How many blacks get wrongly shot at each year? You snowflakes get hung up on statistical anomalies while you arrogantly ignore the big pile of shit right in front of you.
