I didn’t address individual topics and only drew the conclusion that if you want to use population percentages, it should always be used and not cherry picked for convenience. You might note that I never addressed any issues as to police shootings, welfare, etc. My only point was that it is disingenuous to cite racial percentages in one issue and completely disregard in another if it doesn’t fit a narrative. You must have a different definition of manipulation. But, your response doesn’t surprise me. If you can’t find a valid response, accuse the other person of manipulating. 😂 I think that’s what I find so frustrating about these exchanges. I WANT to see the black community rise up… it’s no secret that they’re lagging behind most other groups, but that community (and some of their more ardent supporters, like UT) are determined to focus on the very real, yet painfully insignificant causes (oppression and systemic racism) rather than focus on the real problems that are holding them back. Which is a bigger concern… that young black men (6% of the population) commit 50% of all murders? Nope… they focus on the half dozen or so per year that are killed by the police. Who cares if they somehow managed to eradicate 100% of all police shootings? Instead of 7400 black murder victims each year, you’d only have 7394 black people murdered per year. That’s the change they’re all fighting for? Like I keep saying…. Y’all are worried about the wrong sh…..crap. Quote
CardinalBacker Posted December 29, 2022 Report Posted December 29, 2022 I think I’ve made my feelings known by this point. I’m going to give the last word to you guys (and gal). I appreciate the relatively polite exchange of ideas and have hopefully given you a thing or two to consider. Y’all have definitely helped me better understand where y’all are coming from. Carry on.

CardinalBacker Posted December 29, 2022 Report Posted December 29, 2022 I couldn’t help it… just saw this on the tiktok and it fits the conversation. If a white person: Moves out-white flight Moves in-gentrification Sees color-racist Doesn’t see color-ignoring racism Doesn’t partake in culture- he’s non-inclusive Engages in culture- cultural appropriation It made me laugh because it’s true.

BS Wildcats Posted December 29, 2022 Report Posted December 29, 2022 Has anyone asked how paying reparations now will change the future? It was, no doubt, a dark time in American history, but giving people money now will change absolutely nothing. It’s all about the vote! Quote

So why are you surprised that they get into more violent confrontations with the cops, too? it’s not that hard to understand if you can let go of your biases. More whites are murdered Quote
