You're laughably wrong about everything, including the fake claim that cops disproportionately shoot blacks. The truth is that cops disproportionately shoot WHITES.
Scumbag racists have been mercilessly beating and killing African-Americans for hundreds of years. Insofar as LE is concerned, some of those racists wear badges!
The dismal racial disparity of overtly aggressive and lethal tactics employed by racist cops will always sway the statistics against blacks...

Wrong. There are a higher raw number of Whites shot. However, when it boils down to per capita, Blacks get shot the most. The number of unarmed Whites who were shot by the police is the same of the number of unarmed Blacks who were shot by the police. However, Whites are 63 percent of the U.S. population while Blacks are 13 percent of the U.S. population. Per capita, an unarmed Black person has a much higher chance of being shot by an officer than an unarmed White male.

Agreed.
There is more interaction percentage wise between cops and blacks vs cops and whites.
Agreed.
LEO's profile and target blacks more so than any other ethnic group.
Therefore, you're quite logically going to have far more percent interaction between white cops and black citizens. Thus far more incidents of overt aggression and illegal arrests on the part of LE occur at a greater rate...
White people already have entitlements and privilege.
Why do they need extra over-top-advocacy as well?
With so many unarmed black American citizens being shot and killed by the police almost on a daily basis, it's blacks who could use the extra support, NOT whites!
"With so many unarmed black American citizens being shot and killed by the police almost on a daily basis"
In the case of a White supremacist running for office, I'm not voting for said person. What is sad, is that someone like David Duke or Arthur Jones could even get as many votes as they did.
David Duke was running for governor of Louisiana back in 1991. Two Republicans were running for governor, Duke and Roemer (up for re-election). Roemer switched from Democrat to Republican in 1991. Roemer got 410,690 votes while David Duke got 491,342 votes. Edwin Edwards got 523,096. The gap between Edwards and Duke was less than the gap between Duke and Roemer.
This is what then-President George H.W. Bush had to say about David Duke:
David Duke was once the Grand Wizard of the KKK. He has ties to various Neo-Nazi and White supremacist organizations.
Buddy Roemer wasn't a bad governor. He did some good things. He was able to get the pay of teachers boosted (Louisiana had long had some of the lowest salaries for teachers), some state employees and retirees got small raises. He put priorities in protecting the environment in Louisiana. He worked to be a reformer in Louisiana's government.
All of this, and David Duke managed to make it into the runoff elections. He lost the election. However, the fact that he could get 671,009 votes is startling. While Edwards won with 1,057,031, it is still disturbing that Duke could get as many votes as he did. That he beat Buddy Roemer, who did some decent things for Louisiana, is kind of scary. I have to wonder what would have happened if David Duke had won the election.
Now let's talk about Arthur Jones. Jones was part of the National Socialist White People’s Party. He has strong ties with the Neo-Nazis. He is a Holocaust denier. I referred to the Holocaust as a "racket". Jones has been running for office since the 1970s and has never won. He ran for mayor of Milwaukee and lost. He lost big time. Right now he is the only Republican candidate running for Representative of Illinois' 3rd Congressional District. I'm hoping he loses like he has always lost.
" What is sad, is that someone like David Duke or Arthur Jones could even get as many votes as they did."
Yet blacks re-elect the likes of charlie rangle, sheila jackson and maxine watwers, etc. and NEVER a complaint about them and the racist things they say.
The word hypocrite comes to mind!
Today the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED people has become no better them some of organizations you mention.
Robert Byrd was once of the leaders of the KKK yet the left ALWAYS supported him.
If the KKK is the heartbeat of the Democratic Party, then why are most of these White supremacists running for political office as Republicans?
The KKK might have had the support of Democrats in times before the 1960s. Not anymore. The Democratic Party of 1867 is not the same party as when the late John F. Kennedy became President. Go to the 1948 DNC. Northern Democrats were for civil rights. It was the conservatives within the party who were against it, fearing the loss of Southern votes. This is when a split in the Democratic Party started.
Something else. Black people are not "enslaved" by government dependency. It is a choice to take welfare or not take welfare. No one is making Black people get on welfare. And one can get off welfare just as easily. While some working people are using services like food stamps to augment low pay, one is not enslaved by it. It is an option. For some, it is a necessity. For others, it is not. You can't blame that on former President Obama. And by your own measure, no President really does much for Blacks at all.
And since you are so down on the Democratic Party and claim they don't do anything for Blacks, answer this question. What has the Republican Party done for Blacks in the last 40 years?
I find t ironic how some want to ignore history some times, then champion it at other times.
When we talk about race today many on the left ALWAYS want bring up the Civil War, they do NOT want Confederate battle flgs flown, or statues of ANYBODY associated with the South to stand. It hurts their "feelings".
THEN on discussions like this they do NOT want is to talk about how the DNC CREATED the KKK and the creator of Planned Parenthood STARTED it to KEEP THE BLACK POPULATION DOWN and WAS a BIG supporter of the KKK. She even held rallies FOR the KKK and spoke before them LOTS OF TIMES.
"And since you are so down on the Democratic Party and claim they don't do anything for Blacks, answer this question. What has the Republican Party done for Blacks in the last 40 years?"
One has NOTHING to do with the other.
The dem party CLAIMS to be for blacks yet, have done NOTHING to help them.
The repubs are for ALL people and do NOT engage in "group" think.
Black unemployment is at historical LOWS yet, not 1 single black dem , or even 1 dem for that matter, have I heard praising the numbers or even taking about it and saying how good it is.
Why do you think that is?
Why isn't the NAACP, National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People ALL OVER THE NEW PRAISING THESE NUMBERS?
Because they are all so wrapped up in identity politics they just CAN'T bring themselves to admit good news during the Trump term in office.
The slightest up tick in ANYTHING during the Obama admin was NATIONAL NEWS 4/7. How much air time has these FANTASTIC numbers been given NOW?
unfortunately a growing number under the age of 30 like the idea of socialism. they like the idea but don't really understand how it works. if they did they wouldn't like it so much.
I thought we are not supposed to call people out by their skin tones. And who is a "nationalist?" Trump was supposedly the standard bearer of all nationalists and he won. You tried to drum out every liberal corner of your coalition and it still wasn't enough, so don't try to make it look like you are holding the high ground. You are in fact the fringe.
Capitalism at work. Robbing the workers pay the parasite class capitalists.
