Originally posted by seer View PostAnd that doesn't happen to white men? And over all twice as many whites are killed a year than blacks. Yes there is a higher percentage of blacks killed, but higher violent crime rates in black communities more than account for that. For instance blacks are 13% of the population but commit 49-51% of all murders.

Originally posted by Whateverman View PostAgain, the opinions of the majority of BLM supporters trump yours on this.
There are more white people who are killed unjustly by the police each year than black. There is a higher percentage of black people being killed based on population percentages, but there is also a higher chance that a black person will live in an area prone to criminal behavior. The reasons for that are complex and historical, and can't be summed up in a single paragraph. In either case, the actual numbers of anyone of any race being killed unjustly by the police is tiny. Far more are killed in homicides, far more black children are starving, far more black women are held in sexual slavery in America.
But none of that fuels the rage-driven campaign of the dangerous political movement known as Black Lives Matter. By placing a hyper-focus on the very few incidents of genuine tragedy, they can dupe well-meaning leftists into supporting the murder of uninvolved police officers(as a liberal person I spoke to just today stated outright, unambiguously). Or defunding the police - which will make communities less safe and lead to less training, less funding, and make it more likely that only bad cops will be hired. Which fixes the supposed problem... how? Or we can replace them with a different type of officer that supports and enforces BLM's extremist political agenda. Or destroy statues and monuments, including those funded by emancipated slaves. How many deaths were prevented by a statue toppling?
The only ones who benefit from any of this is the political movement driving it - whose beliefs the vast majority of people are wholly ignorant about - and white people who enjoy self-flagellation over actual work and change.

What! call my town Sparta? Why, I would not use esparto for my bed, even though I had nothing but bands of rushes.

Well then, what name can you suggest?

Some name borrowed from the clouds, from these lofty regions in which we dwell-in short, some well-known name.
