No 'George Flloyd thread

[foxhunter]

Journalists are scum only using this to get a headline and reaction which they have achieved. I couldn't care less about an ex con Druggy committing a crime and suffering the consequences. Why are all these idiots protesting in London , day out causing a nuisance.

Probably no Floyd thread because most people are more concerned with the 40,000 Covid deaths over here in the last three months.

Meanwhile 40,000,000 Pink Floyd fans are more concerned that album prices have gone up.

Disagree, there's a disproportionate amount of black people getting killed by white cops. This is what people are going nuts about, not because guy died to cop, but because black guy killed by white cop - again

Actually that statement fails to grasp the facts. More white unarmed men are killed by police in America. Strangely enough the biggest killer of black men is black men. Also the biggest killer of black women ? Black men. That isn’t racist just factual. Facts are twisted to suit the rhetoric of the media. Yes this case appears open and closed. However the fact remains that there are areas of the states more dangerous than Baghdad. These protests would have some validity if it wasn’t for the looting, increased murder rate and the fact that most of the protestors are just out for cash. Mike Tyson summed it up well with his quote. Which I shall refrain from sharing.

Yes I saw a chart of sobering statistics re this and the truth hurts those that don`t actually want that truth out there.

Seems fairly even from that chart, but then you realise that 20% of the population in Minneapolis is black, so 60% of the force is used on 20% of the population. If you want citations you'll have to go do your own research, not going to do it for you

Then again if you’re of the group that commits more crime wouldn’t you expect to be arrested more .....

The problem is they will never be happy, they haven't got a chip on their shoulder but the whole chip pan...

All this just confirms what was always pretty obvious: that identity politics doesn't solve racial division, racial grievance and race crime, it creates them.

Many people who have been in lockdown for 2 months just needed an excuse to get outside and ignore social distancing directives.

This was the perfect excuse.

Out of interest where are the riots for Tony timpa ?

I don’t expect to get arrested more just because I’m white and middle-aged (White middle-aged men make up the predominant percentage of paedophiles by some margin).

Query why she is a ‘stupid bitch’? I am fairly sure that she does more to help people that most of us.

I’ll be sure to check later if my wife and my 3 mixed race children have the whole chip pan.

As a percentage of the population, Black males have a MUCH harder time then their white, latin and asian male counterparts.

They are killed TWICE as much as White men by Police ( yes, even though more white men are killed by police, but as a percentage, Black men are 2x more likely to be killed)
Black men get stopped, jailed and convicted FAR more then white men, for the SAME crimes!!! And on top, get longer sentences then white men as well!!

Since the 60-70s young black males have been targeted MORE, punished MORE and jailed MORE then white young males.
Which has created almost 2 generations of broken families... since we know when people get out of Jail in America a chance at a normal life is ALOT harder then in other industrialized countries.

So.. since this goes back 50-60 years... are we going to just blame all black men and claim they can't control themselves and are inherently violent and unable to create stable families and communities? Or, might it be the over policification and policies against inner city black men might have created a mess, thats actually not their fault?


1600-1870.. slaves. US Civil war and freeing of slaves.
1870-1960.. second class citizens until US civil rights movements, when blacks got right to drink from a fountain as whites or attend the same schools.
1960-1970.. marijuana got buffed up in the criminal system with higher sentences and systematic patrolling of black communities starting.
1970-2020.. Defunding of inner city schools, much harder to get a job and voting for 2 generation of young black males, while being policed at almost twice the rate as white men, killed twice as much, jailed more then whites and treated to longer sentences then whites. FOR THE SAME CRIMES!!!



But, yeah, the easy way is, just to claim that all black people are incompatible with modern first world countries, because they are just violent and kill each other.

Or you go back in time and look at what policies has been put in place against black people in the US, and what that might actually have created!

They had 10-20 OK years in the 60-70s..

Not in my South Yorkshire hometown they don’t

Have you got any stats to prove that statement because there's been plenty of very public criminal proceeding over the last few years involving a whole load of men in grooming gangs, non of whom were white!
