If the police would stop shooting innocent blacks
QuoteIf the police would stop shooting innocent blacksDo you want them to stop shooting innocent white guys too, or is it only the black guys you want to save?
Here are the stats on unarmed shootings. The white guys killed don't make the news because they were all justified, the result of accidents or poor police procedure, while the black guys' deaths were all the result of racism. The fact that a disproportionate number of blacks have been shot can also be explained by racism or the fact that a disproportionate number of blacks are arrested. The fact that a disproportionate number of blacks are arrested could be either explained by racism or the fact that a disproportionate number of people phoned the police and reported a crime committed by a black person.

Does it not happen, or does it just not make the news?

It's almost as if Trump supporters never really cared about his economic stances the way they said they did, and only ever liked him because of his vile racism.

No thought as to individual cases, just the assumption that white guys shot by cops are probably on Meth. Change white for black and meth for crack and you can see how it'd be received. It's probably an indication of how the left in the US really does believe black lives matter and white lives don't. Maybe an 'All lives matter' movement is needed after all.

Where the person elected is the one who has the least shit sticking to them at the end. Which other 'developed' 'democratic' country has such a ridiculous and disgraceful procedure for electing a 'president'?

I don't doubt more whites are killed by police, but do you suppose it's five times more white than blacks? Like, you know, proportionally to the population?

Vladimir Lenin is often credited with coining the phrase “useful idiot” to describe the shallow thinkers in the West who did the Communist Party’s bidding without realizing it. During the Cold War, liberals consistently lived down to the stereotype that they were Soviet dupes, too gullible and weak-minded to see they were buying the rope that would hang them, as Lenin put it. With each passing day, it becomes more and more difficult to avoid the conclusion that the current president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is either hiding something when it comes to the Kremlin, or simply one of its useful idiots. Neither conclusion is comforting.
