To clarify, I support the BLM movement.

But why is this even a race debate? There's zero evidence supporting George Floyd's death as a hate crime. None.

All of this is because the left is so preoccupied with inciting an 'outrage culture' that they've done nothing tangible to even fix the inherent race-bias, THAT DOES EXIST, in police departments... primarily in big cities.

This should be focused around police reform, and I applaud the peaceful protesters working towards that.

An individual event doesn't have to be a hate crime for it to support a larger pattern. The larger pattern is routine abuse of black people by the police. Even if officer Chauvin had absolutely no malice towards black people specifically his actions are still emblematic of the larger problem.

I'm sorry for all of our power and money. How dare us rule the world.

Why is it that whites have more money but do worse? Personally I think it's just something genetic. Look at their history of colonialism. They're used to brutalizing other races, now that they can't anymore they're trying to brutalize the police. Why are whites so violent?

The Democrats know it is beneficial for them to massage race tensions before an election. Its all part of their strategy, which can be found in entirety in the book Rules for Radicals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals

However I've found that the most unbalanced opinions are coming from the super young, who go so far to say that "silence is complicit" and "looting is justified". Probably due to their intersectionality indoctrination at colleges.



Tweakers on meth probably.

I definitely agree with the first & second sentences, but I disagree with the last one. Chauvin definitely murdered Floyd, and the other 3 were enablers so guilty as well, but it shouldn't be a symbol of the BLM movement if race wasn't a driving factor behind the killing. Just police brutality, as a whole.



Completely agree. It's sad the noise from the young & outraged draw more media attention than the peaceful protesters doing good work.

But they're protesting the abuse of black people by police. Not this specific hate crime. The reason we are seeing the response that we are seeing is because it's a larger pattern.

I see what you're saying; police brutality against blacks instead of the white-on-black crimes. That I can agree with.

You're aware that blacks could do a lot better if they don't have babies at the age of 16, save up money instead of spending it all on liquor and bling bling and stay out of trouble with the fucking law right?

Luckily there are enough examples of blacks who are doing well and make more then enough money so yeah there you go.

I invite you to go to the average rural area in America. You just described a lot of people in my home town lol (100% white).

Nobody is saying that a black person can't be successful. What we are saying is that a black person and a white person in the same circumstance, the black person will have a more difficult time finding success than the white person. This has been shown many times through studies submitting identical resumes and finding that stereotypical white names get called far more frequently than stereotypical black names. Then add in the historical oppression that has kept minorities from building wealth throughout generations the way white people have, and it's pretty clear why black people make up a greater percentage of poor and as a result a greater percentage of crime. These things are economic and societal inevitability. Lots of objects or people acting randomly produce statistical certainty and so we can study it, and study it we have.
