What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[Edwardo Piet]

Looking at it, there are more factors than the simple historical. But I still stand by the fact that the reasons for the decline of the black family still is largely due to oppression, from poverty to disproportionately high rates of incarceration. Even that Wikipedia article you linked to focuses largely on the environmental factors behind it.

You can argue that blacks were oppressed more AFTER the civil rights movement than before all you want. It's pretty amusing.

Why is it always racist people who refer to black people as 'blacks'?

Hmm. I guess it's kind of like how homophobes refer to gay people as 'the gays'.

I said unjustified police shootings.  Whether a police shooting is justified or not is a separate discussion from the one we're having about the relationship between crime and poverty.  Why are you being obtuse?

OK, what are the stats on unjustified police shootings by race? Got anything more than anecdotes?

You are so racist. I bet you totally are. This fucked up agenda of trying to get people to prove that there is any unjustified police shootings by race (when any non-racist person would have been able to find AGES ago that there is tons and tons of evidence of racism in the police force on occasion (like there is racism EVERYWHERE amongst all groups of people INCLUDING the police, duh.)) , calling black people 'blacks'... ugh. You are such a racist-face. I'd be so surprised if I was wrong.
