We just going to ignore the fact that black people making roughly 13% of the population in the U.S. while white people make up like 75% of the population?

Of course there are going to be more white citizens killed by officers....


black people making roughly 13% of the population in the U.S. while white people make up like 75% of the population

yet black people are responsible for 52% of ALL murders and violent crime in USA

edit: 52%+

I'm aware of that stat, but just to be clear that stat is arrests not convictions...

And we know black people are always target #1 when looking for suspects.

according to Stephen A Smith, Steve Nash was only offered the head coaching job for Brooklyn due to white privilege

this is swept under the rug of thousands of other horrible takes, but last year Stephen A was also saying that the root of the Celtics toxicity in the locker room was Hayward, because he was white


Not to bring things back to the beginning of the topic, but Stephen A is a sensationalist. I don't think he hates white people. And I agree with the proint that you can't be racism toward whites. Racism is part of systematic oppression. Someone who is "racist" toward whites is just ignorant--not truly racist.

I don't think hiring Nash was a racial move. I think he has tons of leadership experience, a proven record as a player (he's not even an elite athlete and he won MVP), and a very high basketball IQ. Plus, from what I can tell, he's a good guy.

theres a meme going around in the BLM cultist circles, that blacks are being "hunted" by the thousands

so to debunk this conspiracy theory and bamboozle the Dunkt's of the forum, it helps to list that fact that whites are killed more

sorry to disrupt your pseudo-scientist-instilled brainwashing, but definition of racism did not change from what it was 10 years ago

racism is mistreatment of someone based on their skin color, or belief of superiority over someone based on skin color, and everyone can do these things

because most of us are here illegally and for fear of being separated from our families we choose to stay quiet.

There are differing definitions of 'racism'. That one isn't helpful because it's disempowering. There's a huge difference between ignorantly bashing someone because he or she is white, and being racist. If you'd feel more comfortable saying that some racism is not oppressive and some is oppressive, that's fine with me, but it misses the entire point of racism, which is about race and racialism and oppression, and not individuals who occupy a race.
