You keep trying to defend the actions of racist murderers. Dunno why you get so upset when people discredit you or call you out on it. Should just embrace what you are.

Imagine the media spinning a black victim narrative when a young black man gets shot dead by 3 men hunting him down in their jeep. Where do they get this stuff???
You've been called Pretender17, i hope you're alright mate, a very, very cutting and hurtful insult.
I've just had to be strong for the sake of me and my missus. But it feels like I am barely holding it together tbh

loads of inner city black communities in US are literally war zones, i wouldn`t call anyone "zany" who was trying to offer real solutions
if that`s all you`ve got to say about Kevin Gates` stuff then i don`t know what to say other than you are missing out big time
Will have to take your word for it mate. Guessing you’ve visited them with your hard hat. Although I have visited a fair few US cities and certainly have problems with their social welfare programs, wouldn’t really say they were literally war zones lol
Not sure how you’d get this info otherwise, given that MSM can’t be trusted.
Like what, being black? It’s similar to when people blame a woman for what they wear when they’re sexually attacked.
Every time someone is murdered, a full analysis of their past misdemeanours should be included in media reports. It’s a MSM conspiracy
Out of curiosity, are you a Everton fan, or did you join up to specifically be a debate pervert with edgy takes on the current affairs section?

the discussion was about 2 incidents
one guy in a wheelchair who had a knife. he got shot 9 times in the back. - i questioned the media coverage
Arbery - who i still think was an idiot.
he was on probation - fact
a gun was stolen a month earlier from the guys who chased Arbery - fact
he was snooping around a property before he got shot - fact
he ran at a guy who had a shotgun and in the tussle for the gun he was shot - fact
the difference between someone white being killed as opposed to someone black is the media outrage. they know which buttons to press and it leads to looting, rioting and killing.
the cases of George Floyd and Tony Timpa are a prime example.
my concern is with the media and the way they sensationalise incidents to suit their agenda.
And? How does that impact on the incident?

the black population in US in approx 13%
the percentage of murders in the US committed by blacks is approx 55%
would you like me to go through the simple maths as to how many of the 13% black population is male and over 15yrs of age?
i don`t want to be drawn any further into the debate regarding statistics.
the media spinning a narrative of Blacks as the eternal victims is fuelling division, racism and conflict but above all it is enabling a culture of victimhood which ultimately destroys the person themselves - loads of Blacks have got the media sussed and laugh at the white Liberals who are telling them they are victims.
Go and research the poverty rates for black males, the percentage of them in further education and the difference in the mean and median wage.
We’ve gone over the simple fact that they’re disproportionately more likely to be killed by the police, but your bigotry* blinds you there.
I get it: you think it’s THEIR fault rather than looking at the cultural and socio-economic issues that mean they’re disadvantaged. This fuels crime.
You say the black man is laughing at how they manage the media, but do they actually have any sway in real power within the US?
*if you disagree with the bigot part, I’m sorry. Change it to thick.

look up the word literally.
come on @JJ - you`re better than this mate.
so you`ve travelled to other countries- nice. did you learn anything interesting about different cultures?
do you want to have a guess as to how i happen to know some stuff?
we could pop over to the Arena and discuss it, if and when you feel like it of course.

black men make up about 6% of the US population - they are responsible for about 55% of the total homicides in the US.
i would expect these percentages to show some parallel regarding encounters with the police.
i understand the link between poverty and crime.
i hate the fact that criminals, from the Krays to George Floyd are pretty much elevated to celebrity status by the media so young directionless lads see them as something like role-models. - most notably in Hip-Hop and the culture of "Blackness" were its seen as a stigma to be educated and too "white"
