That quote is from a time when black people in the US had almost no legal rights and in some places there were considered less than human. They have those rights now and they have the power to be heard without destroying .

MLK also said he wanted to see people judged by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin. Something a lot of folk today are not doing.

Yeah, I'm sure it's an absolute fucking picnic being black in the USA. After all, if they were still considered as less than human, someone would have to start a movement to assert that their lives actually matter.

Maybe "nobody is saying" that, but the bottom line is that black people keep getting killed by white people and white murderers keep getting off scot free.

 

But, whatever, there's no racism in the USA any more.

Best you check up your stats because more black people are killed by other black people than by white people but maybe that doesnt suit the narrative?

A keyboard warrior.....last refuge of the ill informed. Grow up son.

Huh?

 

You think 7% is a large majority and I'm ill informed?

 

Are you a Tory or leave voter?

 

That's the kind of magical thinking that goes on over there when it comes to talking about majorities.

Why did you feel the need to say more blacks are killed by blacks, like anyone disputes that. Anywhere. Which follows on from you excusing right-wing militia interjecting on peaceful protests by saying that the large majority of protests are violent when they clearly aren't.

Because a statement was made saying white men keep killing black men and yet the major problem facing black americans comes from within their own community not from some idiot with a confederate flag.Please also find my post where I excused right wing militia interjecting on peaceful protests. You seem to think its ok that some of the protests were violent because in your eyes only 7 or 8 percent , according to the link you posted, were violent . My research disputes that , however for me the percentage doesnt matter people were killed and businesses destroyed in those peaceful protests and when protest end up like thst people have the right to protect themselves. Just to clarify I have no time for agenda driven violence  from the  right or left leaning organisations and it appears that things are toxic over there right now driven by the media from both sides.

Don't think his point was that white guys kill black guys in greater numbers than black on black murders but that white guys tend to get away with it far more often, certainly white guys in a position of power/influence.

 

Some of the, admittedly anecdotal, evidence of black v white arrests & sentencing for crimes (any) is hugely skewed in favour of white people which is then split further by wealth.

Don't bring me into your shit you fucking mug. You were the absolute cuntstain implying poor people on low wages were somehow responsible for low wages. You're a closet tory prick.

Pretty sure you could have just locked the door and called the police, Kyle. Jesus, is life really so cheap.

 

You know what’s really fucked up - after he shoots the guy everyone just fucking stands there having a conversation like it’s nothing major, while there’s a dead guy on the porch.

Yep that wound me up as well. Almost a “well what have you gone and done that for? I’m not cleaning the blood up” attitude

Is it really though? Given it’s enormous power and wealth it could be much worse. There are places far more fucked up than America.

I'd have thought it's wealth and power could be used to make it more tolerant, not as an excuse for its disharmony.
