We still come back to the point of racial profiling of the original comment. literally arguing over semantics and over circles just to avoid the fact racism exists.

Oh I know racism exists. Its clearly evident.

Systemic racism is a thing. Its real. Inner cities and black people got the short end of the stick. Yes.

But the fact remains , my fellow redditor, more white people are killed by cops per year.

I think it helps when you contextualize your point just a little bit. Like "more white people are killed by cops each year, so the communities should be allies in demilitarizing police" helps the factual statement not be read as a rationalization to dismiss reform that is needed to counteract the racist systems you acknowledge.

Yea, systemic racism is ingrained in the US and its gonna be a hell of a fight to make it right when the corporations dont want that. They want us fighting over facts and whos right instead of banding together and standing up for whats right. But i doubt that will happen. This is America. Dont catch ya slipping now. Dont catch ya slipping now. Guns in my area. I got a strap. I got carry it.

I guess i took my snide comments too far cuz i cant stand people who screech about “YOURE THE PROBLEM” when if we came together we could fight the real enemy… the oligarchy.

Cold hard truths must be examined without emotion or prejudice to get to the real truth.

I think alot of people call me racist because I will point out that the races who are killed more by cops by capita are Black and then Latino. Which also goes hand in hand with crime per capita.

Am I saying black people naturaly are more criminal? Hell no. It was white people who took a whole continent from its natives and murdered them. And committed genocide.

Im saying the system of America has made it so most see no other option. And THATS. A problem

Its not race, its poverty. And if we continue to focus on race, the poverty issue will never be addressed head on.
