Yeah... If they can find one that supports their waited worldview. They can eventually find one to play the role.

Listen to yourself... It's confirmation bias to agree with the majority opinion on something instead of the minority opinion. You ever think that there's a reason why it's the minority opinion?

Then admit it, you’re close minded. It used to be minority opinion that if kids got adopted to same sex couples, they wouldn’t be at an elevated risk for sexual abuse. I meant to say confirmation bias in that case, but my point still stands.

What is a waited worldview?

Why are black people bombarded with black scholars who carry the white supremacist banner as proof that the black masses have it all wrong, when white supremacist ideology has never been moved to the left by probably 200 years of white scholarship as proof that they, (a small minority) have it all wrong.
You know you Leftist lose your credibility if you say math is racist.

I love how the Left when confronted with actual numbers then try to discredit the numbers by making BS explanations like above.

And no, we live in a society where the facts of an incident like Floyd are determined in a court of law, not just presumed from a phone video.

Maybe we should wait until one of the rioters are brought to the court of law before we pass judgement on them, I'm in agreement with you on this one, we shouldn't be so hasty and even refer to them as rioters yet until they have had their day in court.

You should re read what I wrote or maybe I write above people's comprehension, math existed before there was race so it can't be racist.

WTF is "white supremacist math"? 4+4=8, rather than whatever dumbass answer some idiot comes up with? Is expecting the proper answer somehow "racist" because it makes stupid people feel bad?

In this thought-provoking piece, an African-American professor points out that the “empty thesis” of systemic racism is detracting from the critical issues within the black community that hold them back, and points out how the resolution to them are within their own hands. Given that it is a black man (and Ivy League professor) saying these things, I would hope that leftists will not attack him as a racist.

* Much like “hands up, don’t shoot” was false, it is equally false that police are targeting unarmed black men for slaughter. Both these lies set off massive destruction, and in the case of the latter, over a dozen deaths.

He is implying that people should accept personal responsibility for their actions. That's wacists, doncha know? No wonder he's being attacked by the SJW and BLM hate mongers.

Statistics aren't racist. The people you support and your beliefs are

Still can't disprove anything in that article. Just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole of denial. Keep it up, i love to see train wrecks.

White supremacist math is saying police kill more white people, without adding that if you are you are black you are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by the police. If you would like I can find a white college professor to back up my position. Would you be more inclined to accept a white persons opinion? Because you sure think a black mans opinion should matter to me.

hahahaha

" that blacks only make up 12% of the population. By breaking down racial populations it would appear black men are at a 3.5 times greater risk of being killed by police. But that doesn’t include a breakdown of violent crime stats.

Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks die at the hands of police,” Moskos said. “Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.
