        Correct.

        However in the spirit of fairness. Equality. We should really not start including things like this.
        It’s a deep hole and where will it stop.

        I’m not racist but I’m sure people will say I am.

        It's a fair point though. Another example is with sports matches being politicised and is upsetting some people (e.g. choosing not to stand during national anthem). Yeah no one is forcing them to attend or watch the match, but it used to be a place where everyone with a common interest could come together and put their differences aside. But if companies or organisations decide to go political, it indirectly forces divide and is not a healthy direction for society in the long term.

                    @onlinepred: why not look at multiple sources including Murdoch and Facebook and find the intersecting points which are more likely to be reliable facts. Also, you can probably get a better understand of the broader spectrum of ideas / perspectives. Unfortunately most news sources are tainted with opinions both traditional and new media.

        No, but the argument is over whether Black lives are special.
        The implication is that Blacks are unfairly targeted, but the evidence does not support this.
        Police violence is a big problem in the US, but black violence is far bigger.
        Of course if everybody didn't have such easy access to guns … but that is another story.

        I'm not for a moment saying that black people are not doing it tough. But blaming the problems on white racism is not going to help anyone.
        It is a distraction from the real issues of extreme inequality in the meritocracy.

        The bigger problem in the US is how badly the poor, the weak, are treated, regardless of race. It is a class conflict, and only the elite benefit by turning it into a race war.
        Violence is the US is actually a small issue compared to poverty. I don't think Australians appreciate how bad it is to be poor in the US.

          I started to disagree with you after reading the first line, but you've hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately capitalism and American democracy lives and works on inequality. It has to in order to keep the division of power as greatly separate as it is.

          • bargaino on 20/10/2020 - 19:46

            @Faro: It was not always so bad. Millions of blacks (and whites) left the rural South to get well-paying factory jobs in the industrial North, like Detroit.
            They had a prosperous middle-class lifestyle that their children can only dream about.

            American is a constitutional republic, it is intended not to set up a democracy due to fear of tyranny of majority. The constitution is suppose to protect fundamental "god" given rights such as speech, religion, right to self-defence from the government

              @yannyrjl: You have to realise that, even in the simplest example, capitalism thrives on inequality because so-called valuable or successful products have to be sold at extreme markups and be built by exploiting the cheapest labour possible in the world. Then on top of that those large companies desperately avoid giving back to said societies in the way of taxes.

                I'm guessing our philosophies differ in how we what responsibilities lies with the government vs the individual. In my opinion, I want to be responsible for my own well-being and I want the government to get out of the way.

                Some government interventions are required if they help prevent others infringing on my rights, I'm not for welfare, rather I prefer a closer knit community structure

          2016 Homicide stats show that of the 2870 Black or African American deaths the perpetrator was Black or African American in over 2500 of the cases.

              @yannyrjl: Oh dont tell me you dont like facts reported by government agency's because it doesnt fit the "poor black people" narrative? Remind me of anti vaxxers not liking facts..

                @Ravensbane: Dude, I'm agreeing with you that Black on Black crime in the US is out of control, various factors. I see the root cause being the absence of Fathers. >70% of black households without fathers is ridiculous, not saying single mother aren't trying, but because of single parent income lower than dual, they are living in poorer areas, also most single mothers have to work to support the family so for long periods of times black teens are unsupervised in lower social economic areas which has high crime and gang presence.

                  @yannyrjl: I heard a black commentator in America mention that the biggest issue in the black community is the absence of fathers. The welfare system has incentivised a single parent family. People would rather play the racist card than have an open mind.

                @Ravensbane: Black people are poor as (profanity) due to systematic racism. Maybe read this article instead of just quoting statistics without any analysis:

            @Ravensbane: You're right. BLM love crime actually in black communities. None of this changes the fact that police brutality is still a problem that needs to be dealt with. Not sure what you're proving

            @Ravensbane: Black people kill black people?

            It certainly is that simplisitic.

            Unless of course you want to actually find the underlying causes of crime.
            Definitely nothing to do with poverty which definitely has nothing to do with inequality and definitely has nothing to do with race.

              @doobes: Be careful about assigning cause to correlation. Sarcasm is no substitute for unbiased logic.

              Poverty correlates to crime, but even controlling for poverty (and socioeconomics generally) there is far more crime among (male) blacks in the US (i.e than poor whites). You could also look at history, and other countries, and see your theory melt away.
              Why do you assume that racism causes violent crime and not the other way around?

              China has worse poverty but less crime.
              A clue is in the association between crime, poverty and IQ scores: https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=crime+poverty+and+iq

      Cheers, was waiting for someone to say this so I can link to this excellent comic! https://chainsawsuit.com/comic/2016/07/07/all-houses-matter-…

      It communicates a response to your thoughtless (and unfortunately common) comment better than I ever could.

        Ther problem with your comic - and the movement - is that it assumes the correctness of its conclusion, whereas there is little to no evidence of its truth.
        To be clearer and more specific for your comic - while SOME black people feel their house is on fire, the statistics seems to show that a mild case of rising damp is probably closer to the truth - and that case of rising damp is substantially better than the flooding it was suffering just a few decades ago.

            @Ezekiel2320: Like I said, people who support BLM assume the correctness of their conclusion - where the actual evidence does not support it.
            Murder has a meaning and requires a conviction. Police being found guilty of murdering ANYONE have always been rare.

            • bargaino on 20/10/2020 - 19:42

              @Almost Banned: Yes. Remember how surprised people were when Mohamed Noor was convicted of murder after killing the Australian woman?
              Of course nobody was screaming racism, but the police rounded the wagons and defended the killer cop as usual.
              Somehow he was convicted. Was it because the victim was a white woman? Maybe, but even so it was unexpected, and in hindsight was the start of increased accountability for police, and police forces in the US.

              • Almost Banned on 20/10/2020 - 19:52

                @bargaino: Only 3rd-degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter apparently.
                Now google Dillon Taylor - almost everyone has heard of Michael Brown or Eric Garner, very few will have heard of Dillon Taylor.

                • bargaino on 20/10/2020 - 19:59

                  @Almost Banned: Dillon Taylor was a few years before Justine Damond, and yes, that was the way of things.

                  That's why Noor's conviction came as a shock.
                  3rd degree murder is fine. Nobody thought it was premeditated. Some say the real problem is the system that fast-tracked him on the basis of race, ignoring red flags.
