If race isn't such a big deal then why was race brought up here? I didn't introduce race to the thread, someone else did. Let's just admit America is racist and move on then.

An NYPD officer slammed a man head-first into the sidewalk outside an Upper East Side Mexican restaurant — as onlookers waited in line, flouting social distancing guidelines, a new video shows.
I'm curious as to why NYC police are enforcing social distancing the way they are. I'm in GA and I can tell you that for the most part, police are trying to stay away from people. We have social distancing guidelines here too but we also don't have aggressive enforcement. For the most part if people wear masks, they should be good. I can't imagine how NYC abides so strictly with it being such a heavily populated city. I'm not saying that people shouldn't follow social distancing but no need to go mental over it.
As for drinking outside of restaurants, they are not drinking and driving and so what's the problem? We need to move away from criminalization.
Well if you can prove in this thread that the video we watched was racially motivated then I can see the point of your post.
My point is merely that there is rarely any proof of racial motivation behind these things. Yet, that doesn't stop some from claiming racism or racial profiling on the basis of race alone. That's all I was getting at.

So whats the point of bringing it up? You're kind of giving it a voice. I would say inadvertently but it is impossible to gauge one's stance on an Internet forum.

Merely making an observation and calling out hypocrisy, including hypocrisy that I see from some here. I don't want people making race of an issue if it can't be proved, regardless of the race of the parties involved.

You have to learn to stop worrying about what you cant control my man

I disagree, if we stop calling out obvious double standards, people will feel empowered to continue spewing it.
Gotta call it out.
