*seen in the past few years when the talks of #blacklivesmatter come up
"what about black on white crime?"
"they never report black on white crime but every time you cut on the TV everything is about protecting black people...what about white people?"
"the media doesn't talk about black on white crime"
"what about us?"
whats your counter to that? this is a sentiment I have come across more than a few times and I'm not sure how to even approach it, in my head I have a counter argument for just about everything but thats one where I woulnt know where to even put my boot.

those people are often captured and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Further, when we're talking about the deaths that spawned Black Lives Matter, they are beyond simple black/white dynamics. It is about an officer, who is an extension of an institution, abusing the authority our society has entrusted them with and doing so with no discernible consequence. If it happened to anyone of any race, it should be a major issue. However, it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. It only seems to happen to people of color and that is why the emphasis is on the deaths of black people.

Not being able to laugh at an idiot like that = emotional
Laughing at an idiot like that would in fact be emotional right? One has to feel some kind of emotion to laugh if I'm not mistaken. Certainly one can be amused and counterpoint? Sometimes folks have to be quieted. Other times it's irrelevant.
>why even waste the time and energy debating with someone that >thinks like that
Why not? Why even logon to okayplayer to reply to a post?
>DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY GIVE A FUCK??!!
Is your caps lock broken sir?
>keep debating with the wall tho
I feel you are emotional right now. Why? God forbid a man be able to quiet some racist or at least make them eat their words. I know you Master Yoda have transcended race and have become one with the midichlorians of enlightenment, but for those of us who aren't white-- we just aren't there yet.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

If they're serious and I know them....
Name one time in recent memory a police officer killed a white male blonde female and the DA smirked through a press conference about refusing to indict the suspect. What about the white on black crime? Then I hit them with the white on white crime accounts for 84 percent of violent crime in America.
After that I point them in the direction of the documented downloadable findings of the Justice Department for both Ferguson and Stop and Frisk. Basically, if you disproportionately target a community then statistical evidence points towards negative trends in the community. NYC cops pulled over every black male in the city with that stop and frisk BS strictly talking facts. There was a twitter account that documented this and general consensus was if they're black pull them over.
This happens a lot and when they show their true color I respond appropriately.

They are convicted. They will cite OJ... maybe one black cop killing a white person. But where to they go after that? That's when you cite the large number of examples where Black people are killed and their killers aren't convicted or sentenced. THAT is the problem... the lack of punishment for taking a Black life.

That question being-- how is it you're inferring that any sort of emotion is attached to the OP when there are no emotional overtones?
Meanwhile you're in here hotter than Bull Conner at Obama's inauguration. Why does the idea of a black person having the knowledge to counter what is essentially an attack on them bother you so much?
Do you classify as white?
