Stop assuming racism

[BaccaBoy1999]

This is a general message to everyone in light of the recent violent lootings and riots in cities in the USA. Do not assume the world is against you, or that you are being targeted by race. I find it worse that the media is only reporting on those instances where there is a certain race victim being killed by a certain race police officer, as statistics prove these cases happening less likely.

Although instances like these happen, it is also never ok to say "someone deserved it" because of his past, or "this person murdered him" since the real truth doesn't come out until the situation dies down.

Also know what racism is, and know that excusing violence like I have seen on tumblr is just as racist as they say the police are. By excusing a certain race/ethnic group from commiting crime and violence, disguised as "protests", SIMPLY because of their race/group, makes you racist, because their race allows it to be ok.

Good day.

Most things are racist...
The most recent person killed ensuing the Baltimore riots, was arrested and KILLED because of a switchknife. The cop was obviously white, and they made eye contact so he ran. The cop chased him, beat him (without him doing anything wrong) and then they put him in the van, and did not buckle him up, while his spine was broken in 3 places, and then they drove around the city making sharp turns, and then went to the police station. Some incidents of white cops killing african americans are actually accidental and not because of their race. The cop that shot an african american in NYC a few months ago was because it was pitch black in the stairwell, and he heard a gunshot and then saw movement so shot into the dark. 75% of the african americans killed by white cops are racially motivated though, and as much as we dont want to admit it white cops are assholes and everyone knows it. Just face it...
I wrote an essay on this b2w:
98% of people stopped and frisked in NYC from 2000-2013 were African American or Hispanic. And 96% of the cops stopping them were white.
90% of police to citizen shootings are african americans getting shot by white cops for not doing anything...

where is that evidence?

That is not racism, it is bad police work, but there is no evidence it was done out of prejudice of the victims race.

Again where are you getting these statistics from?

1. NYC Police Commissioner's Office Annual Statistics 2014.
2. So you are saying 100s of arrests and killings of innocent african americans and none to white people is just "bad police work?"

Here is our logic in what we call riots.

Lets make America a better place.

Riots -
Our lives, something we consider ours. Our personal property if you will. Once a white cop kills a black man for no reason, he takes away his life and takes away his right to own it. The people in this Baltimore community dont believe all their things are theirs anymore because the cops are taking away their lives. So they destroy it without thinking "hmm this is ours" they think "hmm the cops will take this from us too, like they took our friend's lives"

Okay, let's talk Michael Brown. A 300+ pound angry teenager carrying drugs rushes you, a scrawny police officer. You have a gun in your hand and about three seconds before you get flattened, and likely hospitalized for days given the strength of this young man. You shoot to protect yourself. Would you have rather tazed him? Yes, but you didn't have time to do so before your own life was at stake.

Brown knew the cop had a gun in his hand. It was his decision to attack the cop, and knowing full well the cop would react. This didn't seem like the kind of person who would stop attacking, so if he tried to dodge, the young man would have come back at him.

It had little to do with race, more with self defense. Michael Brown's death was a tragedy, and it may have been a little wrong, but it was nothing to do with race.

Sidenote, Mr. Gray was openly carrying a switchblade, which IS allowed, UNLESS there is intent of violence. Mr. Gray was in an area known for narcotic dealing, Mr. Gray has a record for narcotic producing and dealing, Mr. Gray incited the officer with the open switchblade, which caused a threat, and the whole thing started. Do not LIE, and say Mr. Gray did nothing, because he did things which were illegal, which caused to the arrest.

Yes this is 2010, yes this is not police, but it show statistics of crimes and the race of the perpetrator and victim. I KNOW there is a better chart to use in this situation, but I am having a bit of trouble finding it.

You are literally only talking about the cases on the big news sites. try looking for other race crimes, they may not be on the big sites.

LMAO "He did something illegal"




He ran from a cop because the cop made eye contact with him and he got scared. They chased him down, beat him, and broke is spine and after they subdued him in that violent manner is when they found the switchblade in his pocket.
