Holding racist folks accountable, teaching folks CRT. Diversity training. Overturn discriminatory laws, force folks to learn more about different culture and explore the unfamiliar. Racism is not a both side is at fault, it's one side being uneducated raised on hatred, u address that u can end racism. Educating the black community, providing them with more jobs, and family values has nothing to do with ending racism. They are the victims not the one that needs to change.
OK, I don't agree with your solutions, but at least you have ideas. I also believe that in any situation, if you think that only the other side is at 100% fault, then it's unlikely that progress will ever be made. I think crime must be addressed to at least take some of the fear out of the equation for the people who are concerned for their safety. Having a father-figure at home is also vital to raising responsible, accountable kids.
Nonsense take. In this situation, the shooter is 100% at fault. I could give a flying fk if he was scared. A black kid ringing a door bell is never at fault. What nonsense is this, u don't shoot at kids ringing door bells regardless of skin color. The man was shooting to kill a kid for ringing a door bell. If u don't think this is 100% the shooters fault, i don't think u can discuss anything in good faith. In this situation where a black kid gets shot in the head/arm for ringing a doorbell, in what way does he have any fault? Quite nonsense take.
We were discussing the causes and solutions for racism, not the actual shooting. I've already said the shooter deserved to be charged. Let's keep it real though. If you live in a high crime neighborhood and you get a stranger ringing your door bell at 10pm, is anyone NOT going to be fearful?
Yea but then u try to explain his behavior by blaming it on the black community. In this situation the shooter is 100% at fault, yes or no? If yes, then this statement "I also believe that in any situation, if you think that only the other side is at 100% fault then it's unlikely that progress will ever be made" is a nonsense take. There's no other side/explanation/defense to racism, it's literally one group hating on another. Why does the group being hated have to improve themselves to avoid being less hated by the haters? What nonsense are u going on about. Being fearful, doesnt give folks the right to attempt to execute a kid for ringing a doorbell. Stop excusing despicable racist behavior

The woman, identified as Kaylin Gillis, was a passenger in a vehicle when a man fired two shots from his front porch, Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said in a news conference Monday. One of the shots hit the vehicle and struck Gillis, the sheriff said. The man, 65-year-old Kevin Monahan, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with her death, Murphy said. He was arraigned Sunday on a second-degree murder charge, his attorney told CNN. A bail hearing is pending for Tuesday or Wednesday, the district attorney and defense attorney both said. Rocket River
I.D.I.O.T unfortunate that folks will just shoot and escalate the situation. Pretty sure the man is going to jail.
I hate headlines like this "Andrew Lester, 84-year-old Kansas City man accused of shooting Ralph Yarl, is in custody" He isn't accused of shooting the young man. He admitted to shooting the young man. The defense he may be claiming is a different issue.
According to some posters this clearly due to a lack of values and father figures in the black community.. This is why even though I teach self defense, helped protect my neighborhood and even confronted looters and vandals I’m very against vigilantes and civilians taking the law into their own hands.
The silence from @Trader_Jorge is quite telling if he couldn't even acknowledge that the racist shooter in this instance was 100% at fault. In his bizarro world a black kid ringing a door bell also deserve some blame to what led to him being almost executed. The kid fault was that his skin color and his community was what spook the poor Ole shooter into shooting. I'm wouldn't b surprised if folks have been calling said poster a racist with this sort of behavior/thinking.
But he isn't accused. He admitted the shooting. His defense will not be "I did not shoot him". Now if it said "Accused murderer" I would agree with you. Him being the shooter is not in dispute. Not even by the shooter.
Unfortunately this is the right wing response to this...to talk about black crime and fear monger about black people. Matt Walsh is doing it, other right wing personalities are, so that's their response to this. Then they wonder why black people don't vote red. How easy would it have just been to go "This was wrong." There. That's it. Not... "This was wrong but the reality is that black people commit crimes so this guy must have thought he was a criminal. Black people need to stop committing crimes!"
Noticed how his response to solving racism had nothing to do with addressing the folks who express the hatred but the group receiving it. Only in conservative mindset should the victim of racism needs to improve upon themselves to avoid getting hated on. A bunch of nonsense victim blaming
Young white girl died this time. Heavens to Betsy! She "had get whole life ahead of her" and "had a lot to lose!!" Genuin thoughts and prayers
