How's New England or whatever gang-less region you come from?

The reactions to these comparatively low phenomenon compared to other killings, like rioting, doesn't stem from white racism, it stems from skewed community values.

"Skewed community values" that owe an awful lot to the history behind those communities, a history that prominently features centuries of institutional racism at its core.

When your surrounded by thugs, who mug people, and get shot. Your more likely to be a thug who mugs and gets shot.

With such outrageous crime that, while certainly started due to an institution against them, is perpetuated in large part by themselves.
There are so many, as what many blacks would describe as "Uncle Tom"s that embraced "white" (as if law-abiding abd productive citizenry is confined to a race) that do so well, if not better than whites due to AA, that it's ridiculous to think that many of their modern problems aren't caused by community values.
Ignore the disproportionate white-on-black crime, the black-on-black crime is so absurd it looks like a distasteful joke. If you think black lives matter, which I'm sure we all do, it isn't cops you should be screaming with a crowd to kill. It's gang culture.

Gang culture is a product of the oppression, poverty, and alienation faced by the black community. Cultures don't develop in a vacuum; they are the natural products of their environment. To end gang culture, we must first end the oppressive situations that give rise to it.

Gang culture is a result of the fact that the vast majority of African American men are raised in homes with no father figure, and gain major male role models from musicians in those areas (who often had their start in gangs) or from active gang members. Blacks are not being oppressed in the United States. Are they disproportionately poor? Yes, but this is due to the fact that the United States has the lowest social mobility in the Western World, and Blacks are caught in a trap where, due to their historically low-wealth environs, they are unable to move out of their class at a high rate.
If you don't like what I'm saying, ask me whether I actually believe it. I may not, and may simply be playing devil's advocate because I believe that a legitimate argument is being ignored. If you still don't like what I'm saying, take it up with me via telegram. Don't derail the thread because of it.

Well, freedom of speech protects that, and while I find it abhorrent, I'm not saying that they need to be tear gassed.

Hell, anyone with half a brain understands that would only make things worse.

I mean, shit, brutal police actions are the reason we're in this mess in the first place.

Interesting choice of words.

Are you suggesting that all the people who have been illed by police this year HAVE been something 'to do with the bullshit going on currently'?

That unarmed kid shot in his car a few days back... are you arguing that was NOT for 'no logical reason' or 'in cold blood'?

I think you're drawing an artificial distinction that makes cop lives more valuable than anyone else, and blames everyone else for getting shot.

Or, perhaps, you could be outraged at both?

And those community values now guarantees the continued existence of those racist institutions. You can attempt to justify it all you want but that will not change that reality.

I agree that police brutality in the US is a major problem for minorities, but this group is ridiculous.

A bunch of nutbags if ever there were one, anybody wanting to actually fix the problems should stay well away from this bunch.

Hate how they:
1.) take from popular culture and corrupt the work of artists for their bs agenda
2.) Strawman literally everyone who disagrees with them as a racist, an uncle tom, or someone with a "colonised" mind.

I didn't say that either was 'good', did I? Wasn't the point that the OTHER poster was the one creating the artificial distinction?

Did you perhaps respond to the wrong person?

That's the most hilarious picture of current events I've seen in a long time. I can only hope that some day I will be an anthromorphic southern LEO getting punched in the face by a SU character.
