I saw kids doing this but adults who own a small business? And with that shirt on. That's insane.

That's just so dumb. Some senior cop thought of that and all the more junior guys had to insist it was the funniest thing they ever heard.

(I'm just not going to comment on the impropriety of the shirt.)

I probably agree with Will Smith. The images you attached are pretty bad, but I'm sure if I looked I could find black on white racism just as often. And both would be rare.

I live out in hillbilly land, the Ozarks, where it is about 95% white. I haven't met a single person out here who thinks what happened to Floyd is funny.

Well putting aside those cherry picked references I see no reason to think the George Floyd thing was racist.

There is still no evidence that the George Floyd thing was racist. If you have some please offer it. And what was the context of the white nationalism thing?

Well where is the evidence of systematic racism in US police departments? And are you speaking of this thread: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...te+nationalism


Right, no evidence.

It may or may not have been racism, but there is a record of police abuse against blacks. Perhaps people just don't film it when it happens to whites.

It wasn't a potted fern, but it did happen just as posted... But again, no evidence.

No Jim, it isn't news when it happens to whites - doesn't fit the narrative. And remember Jim, in higher more dangerous crime areas you are more likely to see aggressive policing.

There's plenty of evidence in the form of a documented history of the death of black men in police encounters, but whether that evidence makes a persuasive case is open to interpretation.

There's a difference between evidence and proof. We have evidence that Floyd's killing had a racial component, but for me, that doesn't prove it was the primary motivator.
