@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey Additionally, you haven't excused yourself of assuming George Floyd was a drug addict or why you wouldn't mention who strangled him or that they even strangled him. Your initial reply showed me that you're a racist, a truth that I have not yet been dissuaded from.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey However, this superficial perspective betrays a disinterest in examining the underlying sociological explanations for why such a figure exists; that the social struggles of blacks are very real, and that you ignore them because you simply just want a way to dismiss BLM.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey If you consider the totals from the infographic I showed earlier, you see that whites experience ~43% of all violent crimes and blacks experience ~23%, despite the former making up 72% and the latter making up 12% of the total US population. Racial bias indeed.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey Link me your study and I'll read it, googling "Do poor whites commit less crime than poor blacks" is giving me nothing except, maybe to your chagrin, some links suggesting that wealthy blacks are more likely to be incarcerated than poor whites, but less likely to stay in prison.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey ...Again, because blacks are a smaller portion of the population than are the whites. You might be omitting a word that's obscuring what you're actually trying to say.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey To clarify, even if you don't choose to believe that police aren't biased against African Americans, higher crime rate statistics are also indicative of the legacy of racist housing and education laws from 3 generations ago. Less educated populations tend to have higher crime.
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey Congratulations on also finding that African Americans are convicted and arrested at a disproportionate rate to their portion of their population. Now, do you choose to think that this is caused by environmental factors, such as systemic racism, or by something else?
@ClockworkMarley @klawless33 @capthenpc @nakeyjakey "Even in unarmed deaths, whites still outnumber blacks per capita."
Might that be because, per capita, there are more white people than black people in America?
@closetalker_ @Squall_Leotard @TzavierRJ @flamingbofa@smacknut@nakeyjakey This guys be like "PJW and I both agree that we should exclude racial minorities from the country and I want Trump to be reelected as he is currently labeling antifascist ideological movements as terrorism. But neither of us are fascists :D."

This is just one example. He scaremongers against immigration, specifically Muslim and non-white immigration, under the guise that he's being rational when he really is attempting to justify xenophobia and racism. T
@darksource7378 @nickcicigoi @LBacontm @pointingoutthe3@CosmonautMarcus I haven't seen a reputable news source come out with a statistic about injuries and causes thereof.
