Protesting is real work!! Plus they don`t have food trucks or water carts so you do get hungry or dehydrated....hell even the public restrooms are closed to the public!
Bullshit. It's mostly a miscreant thing. Why do you think white people don't complain, despite it still happening once every 2-3 times for blacks? Or for that matter, men vs. women, which is like 10 to 1?
Yep, and he's probably going to get reelected for stunts like this. Pisses ya off, doesn't it?
Or tolerated evidently.Protesting isn’t supposed to be a fun vacation.
Americans have the right to peaceful assembly. My hope is AG Barr gets prosecuted by the Biden admin for issuing unlawful orders and violating constitutional rights when having police attack protestors yesterday so the Big Baby could get the worst photo op by a president ever, even worse than Bush’s Mission Accomplished."Peaceful" protestors would have left without having to have tear gas canisters and rubber bullets fired at them. A think lot of those people in that crowd wanted their 15 seconds of fame on CNN and they got it.
That said, I think that it was unnecessary. That doesn't mean that I'm going to overreact and start calling Trump a Nazi like a lot of people here are.
The only people that say racism is systemic are those that benefit from it.
Fixed. Sometimes when I miss the space bar on my phone, the auto correct likes to delete the second word. During proofread my brain fills in the missing word...please tell me my sarcasm meter is broken.
you don't actually believe that the victims of systemic racism aren't people, do you?
Quick to jump on people. I've cleary been arguing with your same beliefs. My phone deleted the word "not." I'll own the error, but the rest of my posts would clearly give relevant context demonstrating my views.He probably does not know what the word - systemic means....
Racism resulting from the inherent biases and prejudices of the policies and practices of social and political organizations, groups, or institutions. It is also called "institutional racism," a term coined by Black Power activists Charles V. Hamilton and Stokely Carmichael (later known as Kwame Ture) to distinguish it from individual racism, which is typically more overt.
Since auto correct led to this being bought up, anyone else watch 13th? I believe I've had a dramatic underestimation of how deep that systematic oppression is.Quick to jump on people. I've cleary been arguing with your same beliefs. My phone deleted the word "not." I'll own the error, but the rest of my posts would clearly give relevant context demonstrating my views.

Did you miss the part where he pulled the guy over for have a "wide nose." That is clearly a racist description.
This was heard on the radio. I agree that fear and incompetence don't mix. But if he didn't unjustly pull the guy over in the first place, nothing would have happened. Again, a black man who worked in a school cafeteria and regularly gave money to kids that couldn't afford lunch was pulled over because he was black and driving in the "wrong neighborhood." I guess I don't really know how you can get more racially biased to be honest.
Profile much?

To add. He didn't complain. He actually remained stoic and went about his life despite being profiled for years.
OK, I'm obviously not winning any hearts and minds here, but I gotta ask this again... when you see a line of cops in riot gear coming at you and yelling at you to move... why would you stay? No sane person would. You know that BAD things are going to happen by staying. By sticking around, it's almost like you're asking become the next Rodney King type victim of police brutality. You might not deserve it, but it's going to happen.
I'm not saying that what Trump did was right here, but you're not going to convince me that those people who were too stubborn to move when asked are "innocent victims".
Did you see the press cameraman that was attacked?So, you think that there was some public urination going on? Well, there ya go... no wonder Trump sent in the stormtroopers after them
It's a dumb reason (hey, a pattern with incompetence), but I don't see how this screams racism. They can be biases that people don't think about. It does not tell me he's going on Stormfront. He pulled him over because he thought that was a match for a suspect they were after, but you seem to be implying that he was just pulling him over because his nose was wide.
Men get profiled over women, yet this disparity doesn't even register for woke liberals.
Racial and gender profiling can affect outcome of traffic stops
Racial profiling can involve an additional factor: Gender. A researcher is analyzing police actions during routine traffic stops to understand how race and gender are connected.www.sciencedaily.com
Racial profiling has gained national attention in recent years, and a Kansas State University researcher is finding that it can involve an additional factor: gender.
“When compared with men, women were 23 percent less likely to be ticketed, 55 percent less likely to be arrested and 76 percent less likely to be searched when stopped by police. Women were more likely to only receive a warning or have no outcome when stopped by police during a traffic stop.”
Just look at the examples. Michael Brown. Alton Sterling. Really? Even the Slager case. Trying to take stun gun...
Can you list a number of cases similar to Philando? It's one guy. There are over 40 million black people. One coming to mind is Corey Jones, but the circumstances are similar to what has happened to white people. It's not about racism.

so you're saying that white men are oppressed.
let that sink in for a moment.
First a lot can change in 8 years....This a article written in 2012......Criminal sentencing, traffic stops, etc. go like this (lowest to highest trouble): women < Asian < White < Latinx < Black.
So that's MY point. The significant gap between women and men doesn't register with woke liberals. Why is that? When does it turn into "oppression" and rampant "racism" (in the case of gender difference, sexism)? Because apparently people do not see the profiling difference as sexism (i.e. explained by something else, yet with racial difference everything is "racism" to them) or significant enough in numbers to be considered oppression. And it's funny because in the recent case of Floyd, a black man his age in aggregate has a similar risk as a 20-something white male (Note: age is correlated with death by cop because people are more likely to be miscreants when young).
do you even reads the nonsense you are spouting.....
This from your posted article -- Black and Hispanic men were the most likely to be ticketed, arrested or searched during a traffic stop. Black men were 2.5 times as likely as white men to be arrested and twice as likely to be searched. Hispanic men were 1.5 times as likely as white men to receive a ticket and more than three times as likely to be searched. Proportionately a Black man is at the greatest risk.
Your points are nonsense concerning Black or hispanic people.....
all of the above is meaningless.....it means nothing!!Look at women in the chart vs. male (insert race). This goes for criminal sentencing, traffic stops, etc. Now tell me why it doesn't even register with woke liberals. Why is the even smaller gap (relative to the gender proportion) so "oppressive" and "racist" when you don't consider the gender gap either (with sexism replacing racism)?
Risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States by age, race–ethnicity, and sex
Police violence is a leading cause of death for young men in the United States. Over the life course, about 1 in every 1,000 black men can expect to be killed by police. Risk of being killed by police peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y for men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups...www.pnas.org
Here it shows that Floyd's age group is the same as a 20-something white male. I've already explained why. It's mostly a miscreant problem.

sorry, but comparing sex to race is pathetic. do you have any clue what percentage of serial killers are female? bank robbers? murderers? not only is racism systemic in our system, but so is the patriarchy. do you really think that domestic violence in this country (or any for that matter) is equally distributed between men and women?
does me saying that women are less aggressive and violent than men offend you? are you not "woke"?
i will not be responding further to this absurd derailment.
