Are you being deliberately thick, or does it just come naturally to you?

Very rude!  Mess with stats all you like, still more dead white people than black.




That isn’t messing with stats, it’s considering proportionality. You don’t strengthen your argument by just repeating the same misguided point.

Therefore confirming that racism is rife, as you are much more likely to be stopped if you are black than if you are white.



And you're much more likely to be searched at an airport for being Asian. The reality is that certain ethnic groups are targeted because they have a history of being the ones committing certain crimes. Personally, I'd much rather have a society where authorities are allowed to investigate a suspicious situation and keep everybody safe than innocent people die because of fear of upsetting a minority group.

172 white Americans killed by u.s. police in 2020 as opposed to 88 blacks, however the white population  represents 60% of the american population whilst blacks make up less than 15 per cent.
So if there was no issue youd expect to see c.43 blacks killed, but no, its double that number, which suggests they might have something of an issue.


Or it may suggest black people cause more of an issue? Or can we not even contemplate that as possible?

I’d like to see the evidence you have for that. I assume that comment is based on the fact there have been some suicide bombers of Asian extraction over the last twenty years? Or are you saying that by the nature of their birth and the colour of their skin all black people are predisposed to crime? I suggest you consider the wider socio-historical events of the last 1000 years or so and think of the ever so slightly bigger picture.

To simplify such a complex issue to the level of some of the shite spouted on this thread is evidence enough of the underlying prejudice that is fully alive and kicking.

And before you ask, no, I don’t agree with everything blm stands for, yes, I do think the issue of race is sometimes overplayed and discussion is stifled when it shouldn’t be and yes, there is too much political correctness and we should all be able to express our views. I just think some of the ones shared on here are rooted in racial prejudice.

Yes it is a fact, but it is a fact without context and just because it is a fact doesn’t mean it proves your point.

The one statistical fact, set in some context by forza,  has been totally ignored!

It’s a scary age we live in.

I suggest you read this one again and really think about it. As I said before, it’s about proportionality.
