How about we stop cops killing them at almost twice the rate they do whites and stop throwing almost half their young men in jail for years for minor offenses and see if that helps?
Yes I have thought about that.
As I said it's good to take every factor into consideration and not just the narrative played by either side of the political spectrum.
Everytime you look at cops killing blacks, look at the rate of blacks killing cops, and vice versa.
If you're going to talk about race and advantages talkin about other races doesn't cloud or confuse the conversation, it might prevent you reaching the conclusion you want to reach, but additional information and additional perspectives shouldn't be seen as clouding the topic or being confusing or unhelpful or whatever you want to call it.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
