Perhaps would should all congregate and spread covid in protest.  It'll really help. 

I have no issue with your criticism of protesters not distancing, of course they should do if they’re able. It’s your casual downplaying of anti-black racism in America that I have a problem with. 

 

From someone who’s exercised about the systemic discrimination, oppression and violence that the Palestinians are subject to, I’d have expected a bit more solidarity. And I’m pretty certain most Palestinians who read your statement would too.

And they got everyone back yesterday for a fucking pointless vote for political reasons. Wonder who he’s passed it on to.

This is one of the most blinkered, regressive things I’ve read for a while, well done.

 

Systemic racism is legitimised with thinking like yours as it allows the racists to cower under the cover of acquiescence. 
 

He might not have been killed because he was black, but the system he lived in means that he’s far more likely to have been. This has informed his whole life, being stopped for no reason, being viewed with suspicion because of a racial bias that permeates that shithole of a country, a right wing grip on policy and a fucking toddler who thinks he won a talent competition to be president and is playing out his adolescent fantasies on real life and fanning the flames of intolerance and racial persecution.  

 

If you can’t see that then fuck you, you’re part of the conspiracy of silence.

There's a lot of statistics about black people being more likely to be stopped by police, arrested, beaten, killed, charged, imprisoned and serve longer sentences for the same crime. 

 

But looking at those same stats except comparing genders there's more evidence that he was killed for being male than he was for being black. Its harder to imagine the cop having a woman pinned down by her neck like that.

 

I'm not denying that there's racist cops, but if the justice system didn't treat men in general so badly it would massively benefit the black community by extension

To be fair they never gave a fuck.

Which stats man?

I can’t believe what I’m reading here.

The United States of America, a country marked by historical institutional discrimination against men.

 

Yes, that’ll be it.

[TheHowieLama]

Far be it from me to point out that being black had something to do with it.

Kudos for showing the the difference in police response to women. Did they break out by age as well?

Is Great Gramps less likely to get killed?

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'm tired of being an oppressed male. We need to fight the power.

Off topic now, but that's just not true. There's an extensive list of black women who are victims of excessive force from cops in the US every year.

Here here. It's about time we started fighting back and launched Meninism.

I'm not denying that black women are victimised too compared to white women. 

 

But if we're comparing it to black men, it's not even the same sport, nevermind ballpark.

In the Coronavirus thread we are talking about the protests in America.

Right, so because the disparity between male and female victims is greater than that between black and white victims, can we conclude that any given killing of a black man in America by police is more likely to be based on gender than race?

Well silver linings and all that.

You think it is a good thing people lose their jobs because they read a particular newspaper?

Yes. 

 

When a police officer makes the decision to shoot, the likelyhood of gender influencing that decision carries more weight than the race of the victim. 

 

White men are apparently the privileged class, but almost ten times as many white men are shot and killed than women of all races combined.

 

You want black people to stop getting killed by police? How about we stop all men getting killed by police and we'll have got ourselves 99% of the way there.
