So you mean, it's like Black folk started a campaign called 'Black lives matter' and got a bunch of public attention, then the public found out he wasn't a Black - it sort of spoils the reality, which is significant in a way that Black isn't (in this case)? is that what you mean?Cunt wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 7:21 pmI don't mean there isn't racism, I mean there is MUCH worse going on.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 7:09 pmWell, at least it's a plausible example of racism this time.
But yeah, his being an ex-cop and the treatment he received is open to many explanations, and not all of them will be racism.
It's like they started a campaign 'all joggers matter' and got a bunch of public attention, then the public found out he wasn't a jogger.
It sort of spoils the reality, which is significant in a way that jogging isn't (in this case)
Now, how can we bring the fact that the people who shot this 'jogger' were allowed to walk away without even a cursory investigation into you comparison? Is it that 'joggers' really don't matter perhaps?
Sean's right, racism probably isn't the only factor here, but you've attempted to entirely negate racism as a factor. Why?
