Why Black Lives Matter movement is bullshit

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I mean, history is cool and all.

But really, who cares about it? How hard is it to love thy fellow man (insert ghey jokes here, they'll inevitably be thrown out by you sad bastards)? How difficult is it to be a good person and treat others how you would like to be treated?

Ha! Yeah I read that DNA story. Now I want you to go to Scotland, there near the Skedaddle river and explain this to cousin Angus, the leader of the clan.
He would be interested in hearing your story. He enjoys a good laugh when he finds something funny. Of course you know, it was guys like him that prompted the building of
Hadrian's wall.

Get your DNA tested, you might learn something.

To assume he has DNA to test assumes he is human.

If people can use the rationale that we should not let in Syrian refugees because they fear one of them might be a terrorist, how can those same people not understand the fear that black people as a whole have of police because one of them might be a murderer?

Ah! I see you understand about the Refugees! That be good, of course most of us can understand about the police.

Now here is what I can not understand. Why all this whine about the situation and so little action? Just yesterday evening, I watch a presentation by this ex black cop on C-Span.
He was full of tear rendering tales of abuse while he was on the force 25 years ago. Damn man, he had the whine down to a science, but what the hell does it accomplish?

Take the City of Ferguson (where the cop was on the force), near as I can tell the city is 70% Black and 30% or less white. Then in the last election for Mayor, the white vote was the majority
vote to elect the Mayor and therefore control of the Police. So it seems the whine wont get it done, voter turnout required! Did you notice the Father (step) of the kid that was shot, standing on the car, whipping up the crowd to, "Burn the bitch down"? That won't get it done either.

Even plant life has DNA.

I am a life long student of anthropology. I am fairly well acquainted with human evolution. But as far a learning something, maybe you could, Angus might just be the help.

This says nothing about my opinion of MarAzul, BTW. I just don't think Sly should project his scientific beliefs on others.

I projected a lot more than science on Mrs HCP.

You blinded her with science?

Jan-may of 2015? And gen pop of 2014

 

[Sinobas]

Ok, so in 2015, according to these numbers, more white people were killed by police, even though they commit less than 50% of the violent crimes. So maybe we should be starting a "white lives matter" movement. Minorities should actually be shot more since they commit more crime.

 

[Denny Crane]

60% of the population isn't black, yet 60% of those killed by the cops are.

WAAAAAAY out of line.

You should start one, it sounds like something you are very concerned about. I'm sure there are many that feel like you do.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

What about a "dog lives matter" thread? Just lost my dog two weeks ago. A few police dogs have been lost lately. Sly's getting old. Seems fitting.

I would start one but Sinobas would just make another thread and say it's all bullshit.

Wrong. You're not even quoting your own statistic right.

Oh really.



Seems like the odds of being unarmed and shot as a black person are 1:15,000 whereas being unarmed and shot as a white person are 1:150,000.

I'm sure you'll try to explain it away.

white person are 1:150,000
Geez! I am surprise to see it is that high! I sure as hell don;t hang out where those guy patrol.

“The odds that any given black man will shoot and kill a police officer in any given year is slim to none, about one in a million. The odds for any given white man? One in four million,” he said. “The odds that a black man will be shot and killed by a police officer is about 1 in 60,000. For a white man those odds are 1 in 200,000.”

(Look at the unarmed chart and you can see the odds are better for white people and much worse for black people).

 

[MarAzul]

the odds are better for white people

Like I said, surprising to find it that high.
