Why can't a BLM member be pro-Trump?

^^ Based on the same data it's nearly 3 times as many Fey

It would be interesting to know what crimes were committed.

The liberal explanation is they're so poor they can't afford it. Jury duty only pays around $5/day in some areas and would require someone to miss work without pay. The conservative explanations I've heard are they're just lazy or don't care about civic duty.

If a researcher submitted that data in a research paper it would be considered unethical because it's considered misleading and deceitful to not adjust for relevant factors such as police encounters. If you look up FBI crime statistics to get an idea of how many crimes are committed by people of each race, you'll see that deaths are less than would be expected.

If you look up how many of those black people are unarmed and not a threat to police, you'll find it's only 1 or 2 each year. You'll know when they occur because they're national news and the media won't stop talking about it whenever they happen while hypocritically avoiding any mention of the higher number of white people who are killed in similar situations.

Ratios per person are irrelevant since police encounter some people more than others and some people are more violent than others. The best statistic is the percentage killed without justifiable cause.

Here's a description of every unarmed black person who was killed by police in 2019 (there were only 10):

In most of those cases, the shooting was justified (such as ramming an officer with a vehicle at high speed).

Meanwhile, the U.S. “remains a dangerous place for police officers,” with forty-eight “murdered in 2019,” more than all “unarmed suspects killed, of all races.”

While only 1 or 2 unarmed blacks each year are killed by police that may be unjustified (although often it's just a mistake with the officer thinking he saw a gun that turned out to be something else), over 7,000 are murdered each year, usually by their black neighbors. The biggest threat to black lives is black people. That's why black people with money move to white neighborhoods to reduce their risk of being assaulted or killed.

Trump announced today a 500 billion dollar plan for black people empowerment.

-500 Billion dollars in capital for black owned businesses
-Designate antifa and KKK as terrorist organizations
-Make “Juneteenth” a federal holiday
-Diversity training for police
-Home ownership and health care for black people to address racial disparity
-Federal resources for black churches

Well that's pretty late.

Great news! I support them all (with the possible exception of improving home ownership since that backfired and failed miserably when Obama tried it - many of those homes ended up being foreclosed due to them not making mortgage payments). I really like the support for black owned businesses since that can provide a continuing source of income and many other benefits.

I'm curious about health care so I'll have to look it up. I'd like to see free mental health care for all Americans since many blacks may have PTSD from past racism and the media often intentionally triggers them by spreading racist propaganda to fuel hatred against white people and the US.

He's down in the polls or this would not happen at all.

This is not exactly the same thing but there was a case a couple of years ago, where I live in Canada, where a native-American man broke onto a homeowner's property and was shot to death by the homeowner. The homeowner was charged with murder, and was acquitted by an all white jury.

A lot of people in the native American community were mad about the jury being all white, but the prosecutor made a statement saying that they petitioned plenty of native Americans for jury duty in the case as well, but none of them showed up.

So I guess it's a similar case, where race is a factor, but one of the races of the jurors does not want to show up and be a part of the case.

This is the same statistics I have seen racists use to dismiss racial issues black people face. But they are just misinterpreting the statistics or they use it for their political agenda and intentionally twist it.

I have always said statistics can be skewed. They are not taking into account that there are more white people than black people. They are not taking into account for justified and unjustified shootings for which race.

But once a racist pulls this statistic up to "prove me wrong" I am done with them. There is no point in arguing or having a discussion with them.


I am not saying you are racist here, you understood it correctly.

I'd guess that with unemployment among the black population having been so low (prior to Covid), there was less need back before this year.

When you add the job losses (Covid shutdowns and BLM\antifa destruction) and Black owned businesses\communities being destroyed by BLM and Antifa terrorists, then there is a need for this (particularly as business insurance generally doesn't cover "civil unrest", so the owners have to foot the bill for damage\stock loss).

It is interesting in that he has only been in politics for 4 years, and realized that this is needed (to which you say "that's pretty late"), but his opponent has been in Politics for over 10 times as long, yet hasn't put forward any new alternatives (as far as I know) over what he has tried for the past few decades.

The part of this that I'm curious about is the section regarding the churches and how that works with the "seperation of church and state"

Racist approach: Look at how this affects people of our "special" race - Focus change\issue for the benefit of the "special" race so THEY are no longer affected by it.
Non-racist approach: look at how this issue affects people of all races - Focus change\issue on correcting the underlying issue so people of ALL races are no longer affected by it.

The "stated" reason behind BLM was police violence directed towards black people - Do people of other races also suffer from this?

Yes, I think the idea is reduce police brutality and de-arm militarized police forces in general while recognizing that a particular group has been affected to a higher degree than others. Change acceptable practices and create a stronger vetting process for who can become an officer. BLM is so broad that there is no consensus at all on how little or how far everyone wants to go on the issue. Some say reduce police funding and invest in social service for community building in an attempt to solve these issues on the front end rather than on the back end. Few others (I assume) may want to completely dismantle police forces and totally invest in social services or another alternative. That is highly unlikely to occur, last I heard only Minneapolis was trying to do that and they weren't getting anywhere.

We post links. Why can't you? Its because no source validates your ridiculous contention that you are more likely to be shot if you are white. Simple common sense should have told you that that is nonsense. So cops are more prejudiced against whites then blacks?????

All of the Trump supporters with whom I have personally interacted will admit that Trump is a despicable human being but he protects the wealthy and the white and they belong to those categories and money and family is more important than others lives to them.

I believe that humanity is s**t at its base and core. Site as many good deeds as you like but even the best fail miserably most of the time. There were few truly good people in our history - mother Theresa seems truly good.
The vast majority of deeds that can be construed as decent stem from self preservation and profitability including the world wars. Let’s not forget how the USA capped off that last one with a couple nuclear bombs that killed so many women and children.
I live in the southeast and have ceased to be surprised at the blatant racism from every side.
We are selfish self-preservationists. I no longer stress about climate change or our demise - we as a species will fight and deny the reality until we are extinct, just as it should be.

We were hoping for facts, not Tucker Carson.
