[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Everyone gets teased. If you think white people are never teased or bullied, you are wrong.

2. [b]Socioeconomics trump race. Poor or working class people have it harder and are judged more than affluent people. This is why it’s important to dress well and speak properly. [/b][/quote]

Sure it does, lol. I’m sure all of those poor white people are having to teach their children how to avoid getting shot by police when profiled and pulled over.[/quote]

The risk of getting killed by police while black is incredibly low.  Last year 229 black people were shot and killed by police.  The preoccupation that black people must teach their kids how to avoid getting shot by police is just another data point in the very robust narrative that humans are very poor at assessing risk.

A MUCH higher number of black people die (like 10-20x+) as a result of cars AND the disparity between blacks and whites is even greater.  Systemic racism can be attributed as a cause (worse infrastructure in black neighborhoods, particularly worse ped and bike)… yet everyone focuses on the 229 deaths by cop.  [/quote]

And ignores that black men are far more likely to engage in criminal activities involving the police. D'oh.

Roland Fryer of Harvard nearly destroyed his career when he found that statistically speaking, blacks do not suffer more at the hands of the police. Claudine Gay went on the warpath against him but look who's laughing now. [/quote]

The Left has built whole industries on faulty claims that white cops are running around hoping to shoot black men. And atop that baloney we now have this idea that white supremacists are everywhere. The Left’s ideas are so pathetic that they have to invent reasons to be angry in order to be relevant. [/quote]
