[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A criminal who associated with sketchy people, engaged in criminal acts, and was responsible for harm to other people was gunned down in the streets of New York.

But it was a rich white man, so everyone mourns. Had he been a poor black or brown man, everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and gone “well what do you expect?”

The people upset over this murder weren’t the same ones upset over George Floyd. With Floyd, they said “he was a bad guy with a record, who cares”.

If somebody truly hates all murder and is equally vocal about murder of ALL people - poor people, women (especially women of color), BIPOC, etc - then I have no problem with them also being vocal about this murder.

But I doubt many people are. I just don’t see the Venn diagram of “people upset over rich CEO deaths” and “people upset over black men killed by police” having much overlap.

As my BIPOC H said: “I just can’t get worked up over rich white men killing each other”.[/quote]

Injecting race into every single thread is so boring, and so last year. People have moved on, so should you. And when you do, look around and realize that nobody is mourning this rich white guy. That’s the point of the thread. Get it?[/quote]

Eh. Take race out of it, then. A white guy in a trailer park in West Virginia who is a known criminal and screwed many people over pisses off the wrong person and gets shot.

Nobody would care. They’d say he had it coming. [/quote]
