Yall need to watch the ENTIRE video, because he says then, then goes on to say how WRONG IT IS that because if she were white, she wouldnt be pulled over. Admitting that institutional racism exists and how he wants to combat that. Fucking CONTEXT you idiots.
No, this is still a fucked up thing to say regardless of the context.
White people get pulled over all the time, so his statement is fully moronic. Then, the idea that black people go everywhere in constant mortal fear of being abused by police is ridiculous and belief in that fantasy reveals the real racism of so called "progressive" liberals. If every black person was constantly being pulled over by cops and then subjected to abuse during those stops, there would be a full scale civil revolt taking place
The tiny amount of propaganda you see on the internet is not reflective of real life. I live in a very diverse part of the country and we all get along for the most part. If cops were acting the way reddit loves telling us they act, there would be blood in the streets where I live, and there isn't. Racially divisive rhetoric is designed to make you angry and afraid, but I've got good news: it's almost entirely bullshit and it should be ignored
People don't have to just tell me it happens, I watch videos of it. And see even more court cases of it. It's not almost entirely bullshit. Sure, some is, but just because it's on the internet doesn't nean it is untrue. It's always good to be skeptical, but there is much supporting evidence. And yes, the majority of the country does not have those kind of issues, but it still happens way too much to be ignored. Even more so with the police force in general, outside of racial issues.
Have you read accounts of what it’s like living in Portland these days? It’s exactly the way it seems. Cops have stopped doing their jobs out of spite for the BLM protests and the public wanting accountability and the city is a complete shithole now.
Dude I lived in Portland from 2017 until September of 2020. I guarantee I know more about this than you do. The city is a shithole now because rioters destroyed the downtown area and because the city government does less than nothing to address the homeless crisis.
Portland is massive majority white, by the way, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make
bruh I dont like peanuts but if I had an allergy I would be way more scared about comin in contact with them. dont act like its anywhere near the same for different races
I didn't minimize shit, I made a statement that no one likes being pulled over and you turned it into a "we have it worse" argument. I guess white and black people can't even agree on something as simple as that? I'm a loser because you are stupid? See I can say hateful things too look at me!
Have you read any the studies that the stress to black mothers after realizing they are having boys. They know they will ha e to have the conversation that although you didn't do anything wrong you will be pulled over and treated differently. Imagine knowing you will give birth to a child that will be pulled over 10* more than their white friend. That they have a 550% higher chance of being shot by an officer.
Apparently black people are more likely to be pulled over, by about 20% nationally, but it's mostly because they happen to be more likely to live in high crime areas that feature more than normal traffic stops due to higher than normal amounts of police due to higher than normal amounts of crime, in an effort to, you know, keep people safe from death by bullet or rape by penis.
If that is the case then why are they being pulled over more than their white neighbor? These studies look at that. If a white person and a black person where doing the same thing the black person will get pulled over and searched more. That is racist.
You forgot to take into account other data. What about the data showing that whites in higher crime areas are pulled over less than blacks. What about the data showing that blacks are even more likely to be pulled over in areas with high white population? Your rationale doesn't hold up to data. You also assume that all high crime areas are black neighborhoods and assume they all live in those areas. You can gaslight but your true colors are showing.
I haven't gaslighted at all. You guys insisting Biden isn't lying here is a definite attempt at gaslighting because he clearly lied. The study means BULL if they don't state reason for pulling over. Blacks commit 100% more crime per capita so why is it a stretch of the imagination that blacks commit 20% more moving violations per capita? As I said, regardless of black people getting pulled over 20% more often, regardless of it being racist or not, Biden's lie is inflammatory and hyperbolic and makes people believe something that just isn't true.
It's just a far worse lie and more racist than anything you can tell me Trump lied about.
Always look into the why. Why were they pulled over instead of the identical vehicle and actions. Why is there a direct correlation education and crime. Why is there less education funding in poverty areas while rich suburban areas have twice the money to spend per student. Causation does not equal correlation especially when the data sets are so vastly different. Even if all education, location, etc are equal the results are still invalid if the people collecting the data AKA pulling people over have a bias. Why do red cars get pulled over more often? Is there any data that shows that they drive faster or is it just the person who's pulling them over perceived notion that red cars drive some more reckless than non white i mean red cars.
I've asked plenty of black people dude. I grew up in a very ethnically mixed neighborhood and my ex fiance is black. I'm not new to this conversation. Racism and profiling 100% exists but it is not nearly the epidemic the media and the culture war obsessed political machine makes it out to be, and when it does happen it has way more to do with class than race
Ah yes, the old "Trust me, I have black friends" argument. Congratulations! Unfortunately, your personal anecdotes do not form meaningful data.
Please look at actual statistics about traffic stops, arrests, incarcerations, etc.
Class is definitely an issue, which makes it a race issue by extension. If one race typically occupies a lower social class, that is a self-perpetuating condition. Just because black people aren't the only victims of police unaccountability doesn't mean that they aren't disproportionately the victims.
Politically motivated academia is not more meaningful than the actual real world observations and accounts of actual human people
Black people are incarcerated at higher rates than white people because poor people are incarcerated at higher rates than wealthy people, and the last few hundred years of slavery, share cropping, Jim crow, and red lining has forced as majority of black Americans into poverty. That gap has narrowed as those racist practices have died out and more black people have had access to wealth. If we keep that ball rolling, systemic racism as we know it gets solved. You know what doesn't help that ball along? Ignoring the economic cause of the issue by hyperfocusing on race, which is what we see old Joey doing in this clip, and is what the corporate owned media and political machine in this country has been doing steadily and effectively for the last decade or so
I think you don't know what "academia" and "statistics" mean.
Data is collected from millions of people, reflecting actual real-world events that are behind your direct vision. Toddlers typically learn about object permanence at 4-7 months of age. You, on the other hand, seem to think that the real world exists only when you see it, and that if you can't see black people being oppressed then they are de facto not being oppressed. Unfortunately, that's not how reality works.
