So you want to end policing

Judge me.
Huh, so you have no point. Other than people being racist towards black people is fine. What statistics are correct?
Yes. Racism is fine, because its real. Pretending to "not be racist", or "not see skin color" is racist. You can be "racist" against me because im white. I am perfectly ok with it.

How does being a child of a single parent make one dysfunctional? I think people believe a lot of stuff that really doesn't make sense and we take those ill formed beliefs and make dangerous inferences about millions of other Americans. The vast majority of single parents and their children are just regular human beings putting the label of dysfunctional on them is very harsh and untrue.
Yeah, like you!

Take a good look at south and west chicago. Lots of two parent households with hard working fathers in the picture?

My point for you was that it's probably more productive to argue the why of the data rather than dismissing it as not real.
What did I dismiss as not real? A poster posted a false stats about crime. I then posted that well over 90% of black people aren't violent criminals. So what is there for me to argue? My point is anyone saying to black people hey you can't protest and correct police mistreatment because some criminals are black doesn't make sense and has nothing to do with the black people who aren't criminals. Unless you are saying being black causes one to be a criminal I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Clearly it seems in your mind the black race is connected to crime even though the vast overwhelming majority of black people aren't violent criminals.

We don't get anything better if we say that everything is fine and we don't get equality if we say that everyone is already equal.
Numbers are a liberals kryptonite. Stick with emotionally charged edited videos and pictures.
I think maybe it's hard because the numbers back liberal viewpoints so frequently that they get the impression that their worldview is just 100% fact-based. On issues like this where there's a discrepancy, it kind of reveals that that's often by chance, and that they operate on a mythology like basically everyone else.

Why does police brutality and government overreach have be a race thing? I agree we need police reform.

They get in my buisness too ya know?

Where did I say everything is fine? What are you talking about liberals and mythology? I think labeling single parents and their children dysfunctional is the mythological thinking. By labeling groups dysfunctional in America it's a lie but more than that its a direct call that they don't deserve help and are "bad people". It's dumb but dangerous stuff.
