I'd be way more sympathetic to the protesters if instead of shouting stupid shit (stream i'm watching they were chanting 'suck my dick') they were demanding concrete changes, like had a list of achievable demands that could be measurably met (opposed to e.g. 'be sorrier').

Pretty sure very few of the people in that crowd have been shot at by the cops

I need to go through a bunch of studies people linked me so my opinion is still malleable here, but so far from what I've read it seems if you adjust for criminality and a few other basic things, there's no disparity.

This is true, there is no disparity in the number of cases, the fact that it is against 12% of the population is alarming

No I mean there's no disparity when adjusted. As in, if white people committed the same amount of crimes and lived in dangerous areas, they would get police brutality at the same rate.

Yep. 100% accurate. Which is why this starts to get complex from here on in. it all dovetails back into the redlining, at least 2 generations minimum of social stigmatization after seg entrenching poverty etc. I find it easier to just go with police have an entrenched militaristi

I guess after thinking while having this discourse the size of the black community does play into it from a sociological point of view, less degrees of separation means everyone knows someone affected

Which part of systematic racism is hard for you to understand exactly

? Is it hard for you to fathom that the system may cherry pick or misrepresent groups for its benefit? Simple question: would you become a black man for 20 years in America to find out yourself?
