Black Lives Matter

@RKasaurus_Rex
can you teach me and make me understand?

I argue with you because you can be convinced of things. You have shown the integrity to apologize for mistakes. So once you read the things that are being said, we can agree on the issues.
Systemic racism against black people manifests for example in voter suppression or mass incarceration.

You have eyes and ears, you can find the information sweetie.

When has this movement been about percent of population death by police? It has always been about the number of people dying. And yes non-lethal force, but again its about lives not injuries. I am against this protest and what it has caused, not the racial inequality itself.

Nobody seems to understand what is really going on.

Sorry, didn't see your last post in time for my last post. Yes, I am against systemic racism and I do not think it's against whites. I am Black, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander so I get treated like a white kid by the government and like trash by white people. The movement has gotten no law or bill in place against systemic racism and all I've seen is destruction, chaos, fear, and unjustified law breaking. That's why I'm against this movement. As soon as the protesters start publicly speaking in masses apologizing for the destruction and sternly advising against as well as making the destruction a separate movement, I will openly support the movement. Sorry if that last statement is confusing, I'll rephrase it if need-be.

@RKasaurus_Rex Claiming that this is about absolute numbers and not numbers relative to the population size is odd.

@Bishop1964 Yes, I see that, but not the time nor place to bring that into play.

@RKasaurus_Rex The reason why there are no laws passed (which also contributes to the protests) is because there aren't enough people in Congress who want to get rid of systemic racism. After all, it's what keeps Republicans in power.
And most of the protests are peaceful. The protesters don't need to apologize for the looters because they aren't at fault for the lootings.
Btw, these protests and the reaction of the police actually prove what BLM is claiming: The police uses unnecessary and excessive force against black people and people supporting them.
A few weeks back during the anti-lockdown protests, the police didn't initiate any violence and even let armed terrorists enter Michigan's parliament.

@Chillkroete77 I see what you're saying, but with the whole Corona thing, nothing is going to happen that has good results and is made with good intentions. Yes, most the protests are peaceful, but they are paired alongside with looters and rioters and have not openly advised against it (at least not in majority). I have seen plenty of media coverage on those who say it's good and well-deserved (which I have not watched news since Saturday, so I do not know if that has changed).

The police are currently being kiss-ups. I'm sure that as soon as the protests go away and the dust settles, that police brutality will rise again (in select cases, not all). The police response is basically not valid due to the situation. If anyone is in the crosshairs, they'd do anything to make sure they aren't the enemy.

For the last one, I hadn't heard about that, do you have an article I can look at?

Also, I doubt you'd find this a credible source, but I think this video is pretty good at explaining some things (granted the interview is better, but I couldn't find it). Tear it apart as you'd like @Chillkroete77
