Challenge - pick any major city in the US - and compare the number of black men killed by police with the number killed by other black men.
Then bring those numbers back and show me I am wrong - and I will gladly admit I am wrong.
That IS what we are talking about - black men fearing being killed by police - my contention is they have more to fear from other black men than the police.
Prove me wrong.
Prove what wrong? Your the one slinging a false distraction. I’m not great at math, but if “black on black crime” is no more or less than white on white crime, or Hispanic on Hispanic crime, then why are you even talking about it? If all races kill each other at about the same rate, but unarmed black men are a third more likely to be killed by police than any other race, what does that tell you, OLB?
Now, putting objective facts aside, let’s talk about this ridiculous false dichotomy you’ve presented where a black man has to either be afraid of other black men, or the police. Black communities are made up of people, believe it or not. “The black community” isn’t some singular hive mind. Take your racist bullshit and peddle it elsewhere.
Ahhh. ... Here of course is the "you're a racist card".
Yes... Black.communities are made out of people... Thank you for that insightful pronouncement...
What the fuck do you think police are made out of?
.
Did you read the title of this thread?
Statistics.
The numbers?
More black people are killed by black people (civilian people) than by cops. Period. End of fact.
Yes - white people are also killed by white people (civilian people also) than by cops.
I never said otherwise.
My point is people are not looking at the statistics - they base their FEARS on something else....
But YOU dear heart - had to go out of your way to make it a white vs black issue -
And then you DARE to call me racist.
Really.... That's aweful motherfucking interesting....
