What you call manipulation I call reality. 

 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.

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.

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.

Thanks for sharing.

It’s easy to blame others whether right or wrong…. takes a real adult to learn and look within oneself to be successful……no matter the obstacles, which has been proven many times.

The great escape of our times is escape from personal responsibility for the consequences of one’s own behavior.

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!

What is your source regarding the 50%? Also, what percentage of crimes are committed by white people

I still can't figure out why so many white people are on welfare. Can someone please enlighten me.

Black, liberal women can’t answer that one

[BS Wildcats]

 Boys N Da Hood seems confused.  I posted that because the newest member of the SCOTUS, a black liberal woman, could not directly answer that question.  Now you are informed!

It’s proven that young black men get into more violent confrontations than anyone else… just check the number of blacks murdered every year. 
 

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
