Ummm yeah wow
This is still arguably the most perfect and succinct explanation of the racist mind in the post-race conscience America I've seen
If a coincidence is predictable, it isn't a coincidence.

His comments after the fact make him even more of a despicable human being. He's dishonest about his race-baiting intentions, then when he's called out, he tries to turn the tables by pretending HE is the victim of other people's racial bias.

Arkansas firefighter gets the ax for saying anthem protesters should be shot in the head
Noticing this new trend of fire fighters saying dodgy shit like this.
"Snowflakes" he calls them, while wishing for people to be shot for kneeling to a song...
The lack of self-awareness of these people is astounding.

"u should be shot on sight to if u disagree with me"
I can guarantee you this is one of those people who lambasts "lefties" for not tolerating certain opinions.
Is this where the "I'm not ___, YOU'RE ____" meme comes from? This is really the only real life example I see of it over and over again.

Hey y'all. So admittedly, I am a white dude in his mid 20's who is unlearning bullshit racism that permeated his household growing up. Can you all help me to rebuttal a post like this? I really want and need to learn more to be a better ally.
It's a random table from a report, usually tells you they are cherrypicking, which means they're full of shit. The table in question is a cherry picked selection of cities.
The majority of white crime is committed against other whites, and black upon black, and the percentages are pretty close - both bounce between 80-90%. The racists try to use this as some sort of "innate sin" excuse against black person, when the actual truth is that it's just a symptom of heavy segregration in the US, so crime is more likely to be committed by your own race to you, or you're gonna commit a crime against someone of your own race just due to statistical proximity. Funny how a segment of the population so enamored with statistics will suddenly ignore that one when time comes to spew their racism.

BLM is about black people being disproportionately brutalised in police interactions, specifically. It's about how minorities are treated by the justice system, of which police are the first link in a chain where there is an inequality from arrest, charge, imprisionment, to parole.
This is not what is being protested. What's being protested is the injustice of police officers killing unarmed black men with no consequences. It's literally government employees murdering innocent citizens, an issue you would think would upset conservatives - but you can guess why it doesn't.
Well in this instance, its a false equivalency or straw man, a white police officer shouldn't be killing innocent people period and should be held at a higher standard. But it's probably best to make your own topic for this. If your really want in depth breakdowns, or it will derail the topic.
There are a lot of issues and the nation's juducial and judgement systems are sideways, it will and has effected this data.
The only reason they use this is a form of projection and a way to deflect their own behavior. If you really break this stuff down for people you will see how insane they truly are. I've seen it over and over, and this is why I refuse to waste time trying to "save" them. When I was giving them the real truth of the matter, I was called "self-righteous" and even a tormentor. These people are morally and pshycologically damaged from a concsience perspective.
BLM protests the deaths of all innocent people at the hands of police.
Whites killed by whites are 86% according to those same metrics and this obscures the fact that these people cherrypick a statistic to justify police killing innocent black people.
Now let's get to stop and frisk:
93 out of 100 black men were stopped and frisked in Brownsville, Brooklyn New York in 2009
nine out of 10 people stopped and frisked are innocent
"1.9 percent of frisks in 2011 turned up weapons and interestingly, according to the NYCLU, a weapon was found in only 1.8 percent of blacks and Latinos frisked, as compared to a weapon being found in 3.8 percent of whites frisked.
You look at the data and practically every black male has been stopped and frisked by the NYPD. These examples point out a clear discrepancy in policing but let's get back to the matter at hand.
Racists jump through hoops to justify the deaths of innocent black people. I've seen other people riot over pumpkins, over their hockey team losing, and over the defending traitors that fought a war against their fellow countrymen. The war on drugs turned into a call for rehab and reduced prison sentences the second it began to hit a certain community of people.
tl;dr these people are hypocrites and lack souls.
If I remember right 85% of whites vs 93% of blacks are killed by their own race
The thing is the majority of these killings by black on black are investigated, prosecuted and sentenced. There are and have BEEN huge movements to curb gun/gang/domestic violence in our communities.
What people are protesting is police violence against us, and after the Police investigate themselves and determine they did no wrong every time people get mad, and rightfully so. If inner city gang violence was investigated by the gang members themselves and after the Crips Internal Investigation determined they did no wrong shooting a blood in the street, and everyone was fine with no charges being pressed, THAT would be hypocrisy. That is not what happens though so the argument is laughable.
Remember how all of a sudden white people of varied social classes/standings started dying from Fentanyl recently and it became this big deal? I didnt see anyone show charts about how Fentanyl OD's are a fraction of the total amount of white death and that ALL deaths matter then...
Killing people for peaceful protest. Over the line?

BLM isn't protesting that; they're protesting racial injustice and the treatment and murders perpetuated by police.
And without proper context and surrounding details on how, when, and from where such data was collected, that chart is useless. It's like that economic pic from Fox News, presenting data that pushes a certain perspective by dishonestly withholding context and trusting the viewer/reader won't actually think critically about the data

yeah in that pic the first 90 days is nowhere NEAR enough time for a new pres to get legislation passed into law AND for that law to have a marked effect on national #'s
All of those are inherited #'s from the end of the last guys term, you might as well check unemployment on the first day of office, wouldn't be that different
holy jesus
I know! I find myself reading the comments - clicking the occasional poster's facebook page and then being amazed/depressed at the things they share. pretty much every time they are a god-loving, trump supporting, anti BLM knobhead.

Silver lining is that once the next recession hits Trumps approval ratings will break records. The fact it's already so low with this economy is telling.

Thank you for the responses! Here are some more comments from that post. OP denotes the poster who I shared earlier. I just want to give an idea of the narrative shared from my bubble of people as this is what I have to learn to fight back against.

It will never cease to amaze me that the same folks who are likely still losing their minds over O.J. getting away with murder a quarter century after the fact pretend not to understand that injustice is frustrating.

All Aaron Rodgers did was ask people to lock arms for the anthem and they wouldn't even do that. Kind of hard to take this "respect" narrative seriously when anything but complete and total conformity is still treason in their eyes.

Almost like respecting the flag is a cop-out answer that they don't actually care about.
These people don't give two shits about the flag and actually respecting it.
All they care about is the image they've developed in their head and nothing else matters.
They don't care about anyone or anything that doesn't for that image.
I noticed that too. The irony undoubtedly escapes them. Not that it matters anyhow, patriotism isn't anything real to these people. It's just a word to smear against anyone that disagrees with them, especially black people.
I instantly find these people obnoxious.
Fuck southern MA / RI border townies. They want to be from Boston soooooooo bad.
