I upvoted this and normally would not comment on an image like this, but what's the fun in that:

Indeed - if we want to think for a second about the image - the reason far right traitor Brandon Tatum posted this on Twitter in September 2020 is because it helps the GOP discredit the BLM protests (by implying they don't matter because all lives matter). At that time the rate of blacks killed by cops exceeded the number of whites killed by cops, to an exponential magnitude. Hence the protests. The 'all lives matter' response was by white supremacists and GOP racists trying to discredit the BLM protests. The famly in the image do not want to support the BLM protests. One benefit of the BLM protests is that cops were thereafter required to wear body cams. This has helped weed out some of the more violent cops. Those who want to confront the BLM protestors with t-shirts that read, 'white lives matter' or 'all lives matter' are merely simping for wealthy donors who want to keep the 99% fighting amongst themselves, and want GOP voters to hate blacks. But now that cops wear body cams, there have been significant improvements. It's unlikely we'll see BLM protests again.

The higher black deaths by police correlates to their demographic's increased criminality. There was nothing to those protests. Total smoke show.

According to your racist imagination. Before making a claim that is likely false, you could provide evidence. For example:

https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-229-black-people-killed-police-since-george-floyds-murder-1594477

2013–2023

91/million Pacific islanders murdered

69/million Blacks murdered

40/million Native americans murdered

24/million Whites murdered

Are Pacific islanders more dangerous than blacks? (No) Are Native Americans more dangerous than whites? (No)

There are many other examples.

Probably commit more crimes, yeah.

1) That's from 2017 (many of the problems post-date this)

2) It's a well known far right spin rag, though with impressive writers (I was reading it when you were diapers).

3) Many similar articles cherry-pick the data and construe it into their favorite arguments. You can also find stats that more whites than blacks are murdered by cops each year, though this does not take into account the percentage of whites vs blacks in the US.

4) What you need as a counter argument is not far right misinformation, but the statistics instead

5) The National Review has an interesting history, which you can read about here. I've been a fan of Lionel Trilling's. What Trilling and I did not expect, however, is for the GOP to radicalize and thereby jump the shark, landing in the current climate of circus freaks like Trump and Boebert. That's buried traditional conservatism, aka Ike conservatism. It's now a bloody clown show.

It's not a new fact.

That is why BLM is racist, the issue is police violence. Not police violence just against black people.

Now you're cherry-picking notes in order to make half-truths. Never mind

[–]Musky 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I have been beaten twice by cops, fucktard. It is RACIST to exclude people who have experienced police misconduct because of their race. That's not cherry picking anything.

You'd have more success arguing with a pigeon. It's infuriatingly pointless with those shills even when pointing the evidence at them. They're not paid to lose arguments on the Internet and will use any manipulation technique in their books to make you doubt what you asserted at first. I try not to engage them but they're annoying as fuck.

Completely unrelated to what we're discussing. Again - never mind.

Why don't you act like an adult, btw?

Okay, but I want the last word so everyone knows you ran away from an argument you couldn't win. Like a child. 😎

I was too nice to you, as always. Others are too nice to you.

Are Pacific islanders more dangerous than blacks?

Have you ever been to the Philippines?

[–]cunt_esq 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Nope, though it likely compares with other places where drug gangs operate within areas with extreme income inequality.

I should note that the islanders at issue are in territories of the US (Hawaii &c): https://mappingpoliceviolence.org
