That's because the police are held to a higher standard. If you have the power to kill me, then you better believe I'm gonna hold you to a higher standard.
It's the same way a teacher can't be late often for their class and then turn around and say "Well some of you are late too"
With great power comes greater responsibility, themz the rules.
We are talking about unarmed whites. Compare the stats between unarmed whites being killed and unarmed blacks and you will see a huge difference in terms of %. The police don't target whites so they have no need to go apeshit.
More black people killed by black people than by the Police.
True. But guess what ?
That would have been true 100 years ago.
That would have been true under apartheid in South Africa. That would have been true under Jim Crow segregation in the USA.
But would the black on black crime argument been a good reason to excuse for the KKK hangings of black men ? Would the black on black crime argument been a good reason to excuse the killings of black people by Police 100 years ago ?
No. So why is it now ?
The black on black crime figure will always be higher that white on black. Why ? Because those are the people you live around. The same way the white on white killings will be higher than black on white. Your argument is like telling Breast Cancer Support Groups not to bother with that cancer and focus on Lung Cancer because that is the biggest cancer killer.
When ISIS killed whites in Paris or 9-11 Twin Towers you did not hear people say "Well, more white people kill white people, than muslims""
But that would have been just as true.
Black community leaders discuss and try to tackle crime in urban communities often.
Cure Violence
Young Men's Initiative
The Nation of Islam has a long track record of effective anti-crime initiatives in urban communities (and a history of getting black men with records moving in a more productive direction). Also the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who has been involved multiple initiatives aimed at addressing violence and crime on the South Side Chicago
So this idea you might have that black ppl are not bothered when other black people get killed is false and there are thousand and thousands and thousands of black people I could mention.
Like black mothers trying to work two jobs to support their kids, without childcare, without adequate health care, having to choose between buying them clothes for school or paying a heating bill.
Like kids who persevere against all odds, going to schools to learn and finding not enough textbooks, or buildings that are crumbling, and yet they still show up every day, hoping to fill their minds with knowledge.
Like elderly women in public housing who look out for everyone’s children, whether or not they are their own, because they see them as a treasure and vital resource in the community.
Like ministers who run day care programs, and job training programs, and whose churches are involved in rehabilitating housing for low-income families.
I think you are being HIGHLY selective there. For you to rationalize your racism based on some videos of black people being violent. As if this proves that black people are bad people
Well then by your logic, anyone who got videos of black people being peaceful and non violent, would be able to say that this proves that blacks are good people: An argument every bit as silly, but just as logical, given the original line of reasoning.
