Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

[Debunkology]

fixed it for you.

Unless you genuinely think it’s a biological thing. I’m which case you are wrong.

I'm glad you posted that. I've already said I don't think it's biological, but cultural. I was drawing correlations and there are correlations between crime and poverty, there is no doubt about that.

Ironically, According to talkpoverty.org, the state where George Floyd was murdered (Minneapolis) ranks number 1 in poverty rate in the entire United States.

The poverty rate doesn't truly reflect the crime statistics. But correlations can be drawn.

38.1 million Americans live in poverty (11.8% of population)
8.9 million Black Americans live in poverty (20.8% of black population)
10.5 million Hispanics live in poverty (10.5% of histpanic population)
15.7 million White Americans live in poverty (8.1% of white population)


If poverty was blamed alone, then White Americans and Hispanics would be represented far more in serious crimes, murders, etc.

So there are other factors at play.

A huge factor in poverty that get's ignored are single-parent households for example.

according to: actrochester.org
66% of Black households are single parent
41% are Hispanic
33% are White

Interestingly, East Asians are the most succesful demographic group in America, only 20% of their households are single parent.

You are right, it isn’t just poverty. It’s also the institutional racism that exists that’s deep rooted and due to hundreds of years of oppression isn’t it?

Great to see so many businesses and individuals change their images on social media to blank images. By great I mean absolutely garbage and demonstrates the absolute rock bottom political grandstanding that society has become. I’m sure the blokes parents will sleep easier knowing Karen has changed her boutiques Facebook cover to black and she’ll care just as much about the challenges faced by minorities in the US this time next week.

It's pretty lazy and just another rinse and repeat of past tragedies like changing a facebook icon to this or that but if they don't do it then they get labelled as "wow this company doesn't care about this, f them" etc.

White people have been taught to fear black people

Yep. This is part of the institutional racism that's been going on for decades, centuries

So how would you fix this problem with black culture mate?

I’m not into cosplay myself, but maybe if you’re buying I’m interested

I couldn't agree more.

I'll do my best to enlighten you and bring you out of your regressive ways, friend

Lived experience of white people = hateful, irrelevant?

I don't understand your comment

But in a nutshell, personal anecdotes aren't always reality.

Media of all kinds, over the years, have certainly contributed to the narrative to fear black people. Reifer Madness comes to mind as one example. And there are dozens of others. This institutional racism has slowly eroded, but it's still there.

This is reality, even if you can't see it, don't want to admit, or weren't personally taught by your parents to fear black people. This is more societal, more subconscious.

So waving your rubber bullet firing gun in the direction of a child, that's reasonable policing. Finger on the trigger BTW.

Not sure why this struck me, but she's in a batman costume.

The Bloods & Crips, Mafia, MS13. Nope never been an organised group sent into prisons ever.

Not to mention the Aryan Brotherhood. Still prison will give them chance to punch a nazi every day.

Wait, so the “lived experience of white people*” = justifies fear of black men ?

*for context, let’s not ignore the hundreds of years of oppression and murder of black persons in the US
