Interracial Violence

I agree that the officer shouldn't have been kneeling on George Floyd's neck. However, this situation is being blamed on whitey and how evil whites are. Of the four officers there, one was white, one was Hispanic, one was Arab, and one was Asian. According to the Bureau of Justice, Blacks commit 90% of interracial crime on whites while whites only commit 10%. Keep in mind Blacks make up about 15% of the population while whites are more like 60%. Black Supremacist groups are also the most common hate group in this country, not white supremacist groups. People are being misled and lied to by the media and celebrities. Share this information with your wife, children, and friends. Its based on cold hard facts and cannot be refuted based on emotions.

I agree.

It’s a small percentage of that 15% but like the LGBT folks the media would have you believe they are 80% of the population.

Arson and stealing are not protest. It is thieves running amok because politicians are afraid to confront them. National Guard and L.E. want to put a stop to it.

True

I think you misunderstand the issue driving the protesters. It's the systemic racism against blacks by various police departments across the country that they're protesting. The other officers standing around while the white officer killed the suspect may not have been white, but being white isn't the issue.

Jim

Show me proof of systemic racism in police departments and then we can address that together. The only reason this is an issue is because the media decided to make it one.

Looters looking like animals and cops looking professional who knew.

I don't understand the systemic racism thing. Of course there is individual racism alive and well today, there's no denying that. But as far as I know, no police department has a different set of rules for how to treat blacks and whites. Their policies don't have racism written in to them, even though officers may treat black differently than whites. That's an individual problem with that individual officer, though, not a problem with the system.

I just heard on the news that you should invite your friends of another race to your house for supper so that you can mind the racial divide. They didn’t say what you were supposed to do when you get home the next day and find all your silverware missing, I think not, lol

Councilor, I believe it is you who misunderstand the issue. Oviously you have never been in a neighborhood where you actually fear for your life. The hood rats hate whitey, where if a black couple moves into a white neighborhood, they are accepted. I've seen it in many areas of this country. The percieved racism your talking about is what is broadcast 24-7 on all the liberal rag media outlets. I have had to work in black areas in Kc and Tulsa, Whichita and St, Louis, where you wouldn't dare be there after six in the afternoon. They look at you like your something to eat, not another human, just there doing a job. You can have all the white guilt you can carry, but don't try to tell me the difference, as I have experienced it. Those areas we were installing new gas lines in, for the betterment of the area, but every night when we got done, we had to drive all the equipment to a safe area, or everything was ruined by morning. This has been my experiences with hood rats, and when they ever start acting human, they will be treated that way. Till then, I don't have much hope!

It’s not the treatment by the officers, it’s the perception by suspects.

I had a black neighbor a few years ago. He moved. I wish he hadn't. Got some real winners renting that place now. If he still lived there and dropped in at supper time I dont see how that would help this stealing and burning.

i think the systemic racism talked about by the media refers to the high number of incarcerated black men compared to the percentage of the population. IMO that has nothing to do with systemic racism but rather who is committing crime. Go to the neighborhoods where crime is out of control and you will quickly see why that disparity among incarcerated felons exists. I have no doubt it is hard to avoid preconceived ideas when forced to deal with that FACT every day. I myself do not call that systemic racism.

The media described white racist, white supremacist cop is married to a Laotian woman, which certainly seems an odd thing for white racist and white supremacist to do.

Keith

There is a white America and a black America . We look at things opposite from each other.

And the media! They and the polititions are fueling this thing.

The media is the true evil in the USA.

No government department, including police, would ever be stupid enough to write down discriminatory policies. Nevertheless, if a department tolerates individual officers who treat blacks differently, then there's more than a hint of systemic racism.

Since crimes are disproportionately committed by blacks, it's not hard to see how officers become prejudiced against members of that race. Prejudice has to be trained out of them. They should be taught to identify the prejudice inside themselves and to set it aside.

Jim

Come on, Keith. Is the officer accused of being a white supremacist?

Being married to a Laotian woman has nothing to do with whether the officer is prejudiced against blacks. He probably doesn't see Laotians committing crimes every day.

Jim

So there is no difference in white criminals and black criminals behavior?

Rex you might be right. Racism and inequality has been addressed in this country in the past. You know when they started bussing kids to different schools, giving pell grants out to disadvantaged kids so they could go to college reguardless of their grades in high school. The systematic hiring of minority's regardless if someone was more qualified for the position. While all this is going on, the entertainment industry starts a black miss America Padgett, black Grammy Awards. The one that really chaps me is when they install racism in high schools and colleges by starting black student unions. Don't guess it was fair enough to let them join the regular student unions that have been in schools for years. In doing all this (and this is a short list) they are still squalling because they have been mistreated. And they want us now to invite the hood over for some beer and ribs?

Pretty broad statement you make, and like most broad statements, it's not true in all its particulars.

Jim

if blacks acted like Asians there would be no problems.

Why didn't the headlines read, " Suspect dies as police pin him to ground." ? No mention of race necessary. This whole mess is being pushed by the MSM and the left side of the aisle. You know, the true racist.

BS

Lee, I just finished an evening shift job in North Tulsa... 36th St. North & Peoria.

I would sit out in my car ( gated parking lot ) on my lunch break and listen to the gunshots. I could count the number of businesses in the area on one hand... Wonder why?

I really wasn't too concerned but my 20 y.o. apprentice (young black kid) was concerned. He stated just being in this area was asking to catch a bullet.

Different world for sure.

Mike

Oklahoma City down on Robinson is just as bad. Cargill has a feed mill just south of the canal. Would haul soybean meal in there from time to time. I am unaware of any city in the lower 48 with a population of 100,000 or more that doesn't have a "bad part of town". Get into bigger cities of over a million they have multiple edgy neighborhoods.

The why of it all is beyond me but it is truth never the less.

You obviously dont know enough Asians.



You know....instead of lookimg at it racially maybe we should look at it through the lens of socioeconomics.

Two parents with good values and teach by example would make all the difference. It would solve most of the problems we are seeing today, in and outside of the class room.

Socioeconomic.? Isnt that a word that means more government assistance? IMO its social programs exacerbating lawlessness.

James, the autopsy found Floyd died from drugs, which exacerbated his heart problems. It stated that there was no signs of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.

If you watch the full video, instead of the misleading edited videos, Floyd talks about not wanting to die from drugs the way his friend did, right before dying the way his friend did from drugs.

Keith

No, that's not what it means at all....SMH

EXACTLY

One of the CNN commentators referred to him as yet another white supremacist cop.

There is a huge movement by the media to claim there are hordes of white supremacist cops, just search it.

No one is going to reach middle class let alone get wealthy unless they EARN. You know, put out some effort, show up on time, act responsibly. Government giving handouts to people who haven't learned that, or have been taught since birth the world owes them a living, are always going to be poor and blame others for their poverty. The number one reason illegal workers are a problem is Americans living on other peoples money.

If you really want to help people in low socioeconomic conditions, end welfare. Will be tough for awhile then things will start improving. Hunger is a great motivator.

I dunno, but I don't see anything changing soon. We're up against a wall.

Pike River, whatever you spent for your education you should demand your money back.

Welfare is the modern day plantation and politicians the masters.

12% of the US population is black.
80% of prison population is black.
80% of TV personalities, sports broadcasters, advertising actors, etc. are black.
I don't think whites can solve this problem.

No, but if you search "George Floyd autopsy report" many news stories come up with most of the details and findings.

Keith

Thats a funny statement. And I'm not picking sides either.

If it's just socioeconomics west Virginia would have crime rates similar to Chicago and Detroit.

If the truth was known, George Floyd is probably still alive. And that probly ain't his real name either.

Is there racism within our court system? Police are just one step in the system that is convicting 80% black people.

Seems that if you think one department becomes prejudice, the others would?

Over fifty years ago I worked for a milk company in NYC. I rotated from plants in Bedford Styuvestant in Brooklyn, Jamaica, Queens, Webster Ave. in the Bronx, and Newark, NJ. All black neighborhoods. I feared for my life just coming and going to work. I saw stabbings,theft of 10 gallon cans of cream, autos being stripped of bucket seats, and had my own car broken into and articles stolen. I was called some pretty nasty stuff and was confronted by some just itching for a fight.
You wonder why I feel the way I do? Yes, there are some black people that are fine upstanding people and I once had my son's black college room mate stay in my home. There are also some white people that are trash.. What I'm against are those that don't try to better themselves,peddle and use drugs, and live on welfare. Live and behave like animals and then demand respect?
The liberal media are much to blame.So are the Obamas. So is Trump with his constant tweeting. Trump has done more for blacks than any recent President, but his big mouth ruins it all.
I know that there are some bad cops, but how would you like to face what they do every day? I certainly don't condone murder.A lot of these people ask for the treatment they get. Live like an animal and get treated like one!

Walk down Highland Avenue in Niagara Falls, NY.... even at high noon, and you'll see what racism really is.... if you live to tell about it.

Psychological hysteria of mob violence. Guilt trip against whites showing resentment for wrongs supposedly imposed on their ancestors. Pretending two wrongs make a right. Cheap shot.

Buffalo General used to have armed security to walk you to your car after dark

We've had our truck drivers held up in NYC. got that only a couple would deliver there, and only to places that were fenced/with a guard at the gate. Tolls got so high that our shippers no longer ship there and we don't miss it.

Everything leads back to IQ. Don’t matter what color they are. There is a direct correlation between IQ and crime rates, incarceration, income, and nearly all of the disparity issues people complain about. Now go to google (a liberally biased site) and look up average IQ by race. The disparity numbers make total sense! Obviously you cannot judge an individual by IQ as IQ and wisdom are two totally different things but it’s very predictable what to expect from large groups.

Not about race as much as it being anti establishment now.

Fisher man hit it right on the head. I grew up in a small Scandinavian farming community in Montana. Pretty limited viewpoint when it came to cultural awareness. But then we didn't need any because we were all the same. However, I received a very good education and was taught right from wrong. Then I went to college and played football and intermingled with blacks from different areas of the country. I didn't then, and still don't now, judge people by their race, but as individuals. The black culture is different, duh, than the white. That's just the way it is. And many blacks come from poor neighborhoods. But how do you graduate from an inner-city school and not be able to read. We all know of the problems in our social system. But how come Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton seem to always be part of the problem and never part of the solution. Where is the NAACP and the Black Caucus. With my 70 years of life experiences I have not seen the black culture do a lot to help themselves. When a black person kills a white person there isn't rioting going on. Planned parenthood kills more blacks in a day than the police do in a year. If the black people want more respect then they have to earn it. I have always taught my family that you cannot DEMAND respect. You have to COMMAND respect. There are many great black people out there. Many doctors, lawyers, business leaders, etc. And they are judged as individuals not because of the color of their skin. If the black people want a revolution they need to start with themselves. As a population of 13% of the American people they are receiving a disproportionate amount of support in social programs and tax spending. If they want respect they must command it instead of demand it. Many are doing that, but the bad apples show up on the nightly news. Jesse, Al, the NAACP, and the Black Caucus need to police their own ranks instead of always playing the victim. Suck it up, grow up and become part of the solution like MLK Jr. did. He was a hero and great example for us all and especially the black people. What we are seeing on TV is anarchy and it should be dealt with as such whether they are black or white. And as far as I am concerned no prisoners need to be taken. You fight fire with fire. And most all of the cities waited too long to act. The police and national guard should have been out in full force after the first night. The looters and hoodlums should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This will not happen though. We are just getting started. We know a lot of this was caused by antifa and people from the outside. And many more innocent people are going to be hurt. The only one that has the guts to treat it like the anarchy it is is Trump. The cities that are run by black mayors and legislatures and Democrats are only going to get worse. They are the perfect example of "eating your own ". If there is civil war, the blacks and the cities will get hurt the most by a long shot. Stand up for right and let the chips fall where they may. Buckle your chin straps ladies and gentlemen. End of rant.

ANTIFA and BLM are 90% of it if not more.

Buffalo General area is like Disneyland compared to Highland ave. You do not want to stop at stop signs or stoplights in that part of town because your car is instantly surrounded by 10-12 people banging on your windows. The only thing to do is start slowly moving and bump them out of the way. It truly is unreal. The cops won't even go close to it unless there are 3-4 cars of them together.

Bet they wouldn’t do that to the Batmobile.

even Batman don't go there.Ang. speakum truth.

We will continue down a dark path until people understand the significance of IQ.

Most blacks in this country descended from slaves. Was slavery all that bad? Probably. But how else could they have gained such a large toehold in America so quickly? Maybe today's blacks should be proud and not tear down what their forefathers earned for them.

If anyone on earth was ever perfect it was Christ and he was crucified.

Don't be silly. Why would anybody want to WORK for a living?
