Do you think 400 years of history and context have something to do with this or is the world just our to get white people?
Antifa apologists have shown their true colors. Even thought they’ve been surveilled for the last two weeks by the DEA at the request of DOJ they continue to stick it to the man by arguing with anyone who refers them back to the FBI and DOJ who have repeatedly said Antifa. Barr gave an interview last night. My money is on Antifa’s funding being exposed and coming from places that make the left look bad. My money is also on the same people here denying it if it’s exposed. I find myself asking why there are die hards that are vigorously working hard here to put down any posts that mention or accuse Antifa. The OP especially has a soft spot for them. (Makes you kinda wonder...). I’ll wait a few weeks to see what comes from the DOJs investigation. If I’m wrong, I’ll be the first to post to admit it. If I’m right, watch them line up to call it bullshit despite the evidence. I’ve never seen Sweet Lou be wrong on anything. That says a lot. He good!
Cmon... you’ve repeated the 400 years of history rhetoric in every thread and inserted it into every conversation. We get it!! Nobody is victimizing white people. Far from it.
Well the person I replied to thinks that white communties and black communties experience the same type of police brutality and have the same history experiencing it hence the framing of the argument in the post I replied to. Why else would he ask why black people get more angry by police brutality incidents if he didn't already know that part?
Opportunity abound. Was wondering when this will start to happen... Right wing extremist planning to use the protester backdrop to carry their domestic terrorist acts to create civil unrest. And if they succeed and causes great damages, it would have been a great opportunity for the POTUS to pickup Russian's propaganda via @oann, blame antifa, violent protesters and get his 10k military army into the streets.
I do believe they experience racism and it sucks. I do not believe the numbers indicate that they are being killed due to racism.
Never said that - please do not put words in my mouth. To turn your notion around, it appears that many black people think they are the only ethnic group that gets "victimized".
Why is being killed the only way to experience racism from institutions to the point of being frustrated? It's such a dumb argument. "Black people get killed at higher rates than white people by cops because they commit more crimes". Well ya, it's a self fullfiling prophecy.
You literally asked why black communties show more outrage at these incidents than white communties. That only leads me to conclude that you don't know the historical context or you purposefully are refusing to acknowledge it. That question has an easy answer if you acknowledged the historical context. That's why I assume. In the United States, black communties have been the punching bag of America for multiple centuries. No other ethnic group experienced anywhere close to that amount of tragedy except Native Americans.
My answer is that there are lingering perceptions of racism on both sides. There is equal opportunity to advance ones-self if one chooses to do so. Much progress has been made in the last 60 years especially and it will likely take time to allow more healing. As far as the "punching bag" theory goes, you seem to be forgetting that a substantial portion of the police force comes from multiple ethnic groups including black. Blaming it all on white people isn't helping.
Trump wanted 10k troop in Wash DC. Great opportunity for him to push that again and probably Esper wouldn't be able to stop it again.
Why is it when people bring up systemic racism that has resulted in this modern predicament of these poor urban black communties in order to solve problems as figuring out the root cause of problems is the first step of problem solving, they assume we are placing blame on the modern white person? I'll only blame you if you want to pretend causality has no function here and that "culture" is the reason for the modern relationship between poor black communties and law enforcement. You see pointing out problems in our history that caused current issues as "blaming" when I see it as an initial step in problem solving. Stop trying hard to be a victim. "Lingering perceptions". So now the Black community is making stuff up huh.
Lol "equal opportunity": https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...62b704-3915-11e9-a06c-3ec8ed509d15_story.html https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/08/property-taxes-and-unequal-schools/497333/ Man you must have lived one privileged life if you think every American citizen has equal opportunity to succeed. Let me guess, the word "privlage" triggered you.
I don't really post editorials and if you're talking about @Os Trigonum posting editorials like they're going out of style then I agree he's just wasting all of our time with them. The answer to the police brutality issue isn't saying what about the whites. Just stop. I've already posted some solutions to the police brutality issue here. This thread is about the non-existent Antifa terrorists though, don't change the subject.
