Black Lives Matter Movement?

So you as a white man (i'm assuming) are saying that u feel that u have been unfairly treated because of you skin color in a country that is nearly 73 percent white that is shocking

Is shocking for you because you have the word "RACE" tattooed in your brain. Eliminate that word and everything will fall in place and make sense to you. Understand this. ALL RACES have been unfairly treated at times, BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE! lol We are all humans, there is no need to be racist seeing race everywhere. We are all victims of the same crimes, we are all victims of the same injustices, we are all victims of the same penalties and fines, we are all victims of the IRS, we are all in the same boat for everything. If you really want to fight for a real cause, fight for all humans, not just for your race. Be fair to everybody. We are all equal.

Jackxxx, I'm curious if you accept the somewhat widely reported statistic that women earn ~70% of what men who do the same job earn. If so, would you accept that as a proof of a gender bias?

Similarly, do you accept the stat (Criminal injustice: The percentage of African-Americans in prison | MSNBC) that ~12% of the drug using population is black, and yet 30% of drug arrests are against black americans? Would you accept this as an indicator that blacks are targeted more by the "war on drugs"?

And i'm telling u Mr confederate flag that those stats don't factor in the basic injustices that happen to black people on a day to day basis by cops like getting stopped for absolutely no reason but having dreadlocks and dark hair. I dont even really expect you to understand because you are talking completely from outside the picture its like me talking to a NFL player about what the NFL is like without me ever playing and just talking about stats

That white privilege smells beautiful ignoring something that is stated by cops themselves who obviously know more than you about who is being treated unfairly just because it doesn't occur to you

I don't care who watch BET (hopefully nobody so it can go bankrupt) I am stating that BET provides that false biased information.

Okay, okay, I'm just going to stop you there. The wage gap, despite being "widely reported", is bullshit, a narrative peddled by the media to further a feminist agenda, just like the UVA rape hoax, the 1 in 5 rape statistic etc. It just shows that stats can be pick and chosen to further an agenda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58arQIr882w

Yes, I am white and I have been unfairly treated because of the color of my skin.

THANK YOU! On both accounts...

The wage gap myth is so overused and so easy to disprove. The stats show population of men vs population of women in career fields, with no indication of hours worked or important variables like overtime, shifts, or multiple jobs. Even if you completely ignore the Fair Pay Act of 1963, it still doesn't reflect an unfair pay advantage for men based on simply having a penis.

The rape statistic, which isn't even a real statistic, is just toxic to the environments where it is spread around. I don't know where these people get off but they're turning real usable anti-rape info into the stranger danger campaign of the 90s. That is teaching women a culture of fear of rape and unwarranted anger at the wrong target.

Again there's no doubt that racial profiling occurs all too commonly. However, the narrative the police are killing people just because of the color of their skin is a lie. And easily proven to be a lie. That's my issue. If the BLM wanted to actually go after unfair pull over and search practices I would be all for it. But they can't get people all hot and bothered over a few illegal searches resulting in small drug sentences. It's much easier to lie and say that you're being murdered just because of the color of your skin to get people to support your movement. People should be leery of any social movement built off of a lie.

And on a side note even black officers profile other minorities. how do you explain that. Shouldn't they be completely against that. I know that there is some activity in the NYPD showing that some are but not Nationwide. Also dont you think when the police pullover some 6'5 250lbs white guy with a shaved head and iron cross tat they treat him the same way. How do you explain that?

oops! here we go.... playing the race card. I would appreciate if you keep this conversation civil, educated, out of conspiracies and mythologies. Not having arguments to justify something non existent doesn't allow for this type of violent posts. I am sure moderators are watching this word manipulation game.

Once more here are your words exactly as you wrote them - you explain what they mean then.

"In these protests we see coming from them, we have perhaps a handful of genuine people peacefully protesting for a cause, but the majority of the rest are just there because they have nothing else to do in their daily lives. Instead of working or at least looking for a job, they're there just stirring the pot, causing chaos and trouble for the local city like blocking a road for example. Most of those people don't really care the real cause. Somebody told them to go there."

You keep saying facts, so how did you arrive at the "fact" the majority of BLM protesters are just there because they have nothing else to do and just want to cause trouble? When I marched against the war in Vietnam and other conflicts we started, I knew why I was there - and I had a job. Since the vast majority of blacks do work, BLM has done a great job of finding all of the ones who don't - according to your "facts".
