George Floyd

No it's what he actually SAID. ALL of what he said.

I just read your linked thread quickly, so I’ll have to go back and read it when I have more time. That said, CK may have started it, but that doesn’t mean he gets to define it.

Richard Spencer is a nationalist and was calling himself one way before many of the current nationalists. Most would not accept his definition.

Same thing.

Wrong.

What I should have said was unarmed. It was 20 white, 10 black.

Here's the data:

"I'll never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag..."

The implication being that those who kneel are disrespecting the flag.

Yes they are. Kneel at some other point of the game like the end.

His data is not wrong (ETA> Sorry I knew that the static he was referring to was unarmed blacks, GLM qualified his remark). What your charts do not take into account is that of the 1000 killings by police last year out of 10 million arrests, it does not tell you how many of those killings was the "victim" armed. If you are concerned about Black Lives Matter.. then why do Blacks die at the hands of other Blacks from 1976 to 2005 94% of African Americans killed were at the hands of other African Americans..

No they're not.

[johnnylightnin]

No they're not.

And JuBru actually served in the military...unlike Bone Spur Don.

Demario Davis is the man:

The same reason why white on white crime is high - people tend to associate mostly with people that have the same or similar skin color as themselves.

And what does that have to do with state actors - federal, state, and local - disproportionately targeting, suspecting, stopping, killing, etc. blacks?

Not true just because you and Kapernick say it

Just trying to understand what is the goal/purpose... not being sarcastic or snippy.. is it that black lives matter.. or only black lives that are killed by state actors? If we can define specifically what the problem is, then you can fix it.

The problem is systemic racism which is impossible to define and a good mate for reparations which is the ultimate goal...mo money

There's a whole thread about it. It's way more complicated than your either or, but even that example is clear. Murder at the hands of authorities is ALWAYS more concerning for a free society than murder at the hands of citizens.

Just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean there's not a problem.

[Guisslapp]

Hearing that our Alma Mater had a pretty good turnout for a protest.

Give me results of all the studies that prove there is a problem and it’s the fault of white folks.
