I grew up in a black majority community, rode a bus as the only white male and played basketball on a team where I was the only white (including coaches) so yeah I know blacks racism is palpable but they do have some reason for compalint historically, just no so much now.

Lol. It speaks for how city data politics & controversies forum regulars feel about it. You're disconnected from the current culture,.

..the knock out game is flat out racism...white people were sent to the hosp....white people were killed

and not one black person was ever charged with a race crime

calling it a "game" makes murder acceptable

What culture would that be? The one pulling down statues of George Washington and pouring blood over it and the American flag.



Is that the one you are referring to?

I emailed BLM and asked them to add it for the morons amongst us. Some people need things spelled out, but they probably sent graphics to the printers at that point, so too late.

Neither in and of itself is racist so I did not vote in the poll.

Black Lives Matter gives awareness to issues that disproportionately impact black citizens (e.g. police brutality, poverty, COVID-19 deaths, etc) and serves as a reminder that black lives should be valued.

All Lives Matter is a true statement, but where the problem comes in is when it is used to refute the first statement. It comes across as insensitive. It is like when someone loses someone to Lung Cancer and they bring awareness to it, but you decide to say well what about Heart Disease in reply. It just comes across as highly insensitive that your fellow citizen is trying to convey awareness about something that bothers that person or people in that situation and your response is well my cause is more important.

They know statistics as well as anyone and they know this is a lie. But as long as people are willing to buy it, they will keep selling it.
