What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[John V]

Knock it off with your bullshit white persecution.

Do cops shoot white people? Yea no shit, but not at the same rate FUCKFACE. Blacks are far more likely to be injured or shot when interacting with police. And even without weapons, blacks die, like the guy choked in NYC, like the lady whom died in her cell after being falsely arrested over a minor traffic ticket. 

Pull your fucking head out of your ass. Even black republican voters, even they will tell you that their parents have that conversation about interacting with cops. Even they will tell you if they are parents will tell their kids how to interact with cops. That is something I never had to worry about. I've had a cop pull a gun on me because i had a replica cap gun when they were legal back in the early 1980s. A black kid with a mere BB gun gets murdered in a park. I saw that video. Kid never raised the BB gun. They fucking shot him out the damned window, never gave him a chance.

Am I mad about the recent white lady shot and killed over a mere pocket knife? Yea sure, but again, the fucking part you keep missing is the rate of injury and death is lopsided and blacks are far more likely to be injured or killed while interacting with police. And even outside that, blacks are also more likely to be punished more severely than whites for the same crime. 

THAT is why the players are protesting. They don't want special treatment, they simply want equal treatment. It simply isn't enough for you to say, "I am not a bigot". If you say that then mean it, and stop pretending there is no inequality.

How much is "far more likely"?
