Don't you just hate it when people destroy a false ideology with facts. I'm embarrassed for you.

Racist people spend their days living with the intense fear that somewhere, somehow, someone they believe is inferior to them is being treated as their equal

I'm assuming you are just apologising for this post or is this a rolling apology for future dribble like this?

Were the people booing Ben Long today racists, or did they have a valid reason for doing it?

I hope that coward is tracked down and charged. No need for that at all.

There is a WSJ article re this but its behing a pay wall. Other one isnt. Havent read the latter, just googled it.

The Myth of the Racist Cop

The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald writes that systemic police racism is a myth: Four studies out this year show that if police are biased, it’s in favor of blacks.

The Myth of Systemic Police Racism

George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis has revived the Obama-era narrative that law enforcement is endemically racist. On Friday, Barack Obama tweeted that for millions of black Americans, being treated differently by the criminal justice system on account of race is “tragically, painfully...

A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Yeah, this may be true. For interest let's look at the 'white' figures.

Is a police officer 18x more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be by a police officer?

PragerU is a YouTube channel for expressive conservative views. They published a video titled Are The Police Racist? (with over a million views) that has this claim [at 2:48]: a police officer is

White unarmed males comparison to 18x

To add some further context for the original 18x statistic, this is a comparison for white males based on the original question

| killed | population | total / million popn
unarmed white males | 31 | 115,000,000 | 0.27
police killed by whites (m/f) | 28 | 628,000 | 44.59


The 28 police officers killed is based on 55% of 51 (using the same FBI data as for the 40% in the 18x calculations). It does include women, but it's the same statistic as used for the black case.


A police officer is 165x (44.59/0.27) more likely to be killed by a white person than a police officer is to kill an unarmed white man.

A cop is 165 times more likely to be killed by a white person? Are black people better-behaved based on those stats?

I haven't read this thread really, maybe it is old news, but if the above post is correct, which it seems to be, why oh why are we wasting our time giving them any air.

Have you heard about the Northern Ireland Peace Process? The Good Friday Agreement? All negotiated in part by people convicted of various crimes. Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness among others did jail time.

They were booing him cause he got reported.... the same way pretty much anyone who gets reported gets booed.

But it is not possible to boo a black player for any reason other than racism. Someone has a short memory.

If you cannot convince the government to give you reparations / land, convince the proletariat you deserve to have theirs.

Fighting for equality between all races and ethnicities is a good thing, a noble thing. This? It looks like an 'order something but super-size it!' kind of thing that seems so endemic of that country. Too far.

Yes, farmers should get same right to negotiate with miners that aborigines do. Yet where is the outrage?

Its absurd to suggest the usual suspects want equality, they want nothing of the sort.

So "racism" from white people against black people is being brought into the spotlight from the BLM movement, perhaps rightfully so.

What about racism from non-white people against other races? E.g. racism from black people against say, I don't know, Asians or South Americans or Arabs? Anybody going to call out black people for being racist? Or are you so stupid that you believe black people can't be racist? If so, isn't this a racist belief in itself?

Disclaimer: I'm not specifically targeting black people in the paragraph above. It could well apply to racism from Asians or Arabs against those of a race not of their own. I mean, given the genetic diversity of the global population, why are we targetting a specific race to be accused of "racism", while the rest are being allowed to disgustingly indulge in their perverse bias and prejudices? And why is a specific race being singled out for special treatment (victim status) when it comes to racism? Why is the specific combination of white racism against blacks being given the biggest spotlight? Do the only races that matter on this planet consist of white (caucasian) and black (African/Aboriginal)? Are all other races insignificant and unworthy of consideration, especially if they are not wont to whinge/moan/bitch/complain about how they are unfairly treated?

We will never know but its unlikely as outdoor spread is very limited supposedly. However, from a behavioural point of view how can the decent element of society upon seeing the usual suspects disobey the law comply with absurd rules from the govt?

"I'm fining you for playing golf"

"Yes, seems reasonable to me. I should have been protesting the latest woke whatever, my bad."

Huh?

"How can the decent element of society upon seeing the usual suspects disobey the law comply with absurd rules from the govt"

ROFLOLOLOLOLOL! Is this what passes for high-level "discourse" on SRP, the lack of which results in a threadban/suspension?

Please, tell me, is this gobbledygook what I have to stoop to in order to avoid a threadban/suspension/infraction?

 

[douglyzia]

Is anybody going to speak out about racism from non-white/blacks against other non-whites/blacks, or is the only racism that matters from whites against blacks?

The moral of the story, keep your feet people. In most instances they were in with a fighting chance until 5hey went over then they were ****ed.

It's amazing how many can move in so quickly and viciously when it looks like their intended victim can't fight back. Weak campaigners.

Well, I guess we can add peaceful to the list of words that don't have the same meaning anymore.

Words are violence, silence is violence, but overt violence is not violence.
