The demand for racism in the US is greater than the supply

[Wondergirl]

Please define and clarify the phrase, "demand for racism".

[jlisenbe]

I think he is referring to the seeming eagerness of liberal dems to try and brand as many thoughts/actions as possible as "racist". So the Duke lacrosse team, Nicholas Sandman, Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro, and many other conservatives are branded "racist" when, in fact, they are/were not.

[tomder55]

It is self-explanatory. But jlsenbe elaborated nicely. I heard the phrase today for the 1st time from a Black professor at a Black college ,

As an example ;9 unarmed black guys who resisted arrest were shot last year by police. We have 330 million people in America, So, 9/330,000,000, makes it a .00000003 chance this happens.
Compliant press reporting about riots and and race baiting politicians make it sound like it is a daily occurrence .
Instead of BLM ......

Maybe we should have a“Just Don’t Resist Arrest Day.”
Looting and arson after court verdicts became an American pastime sanctioned by liberal mayors and the media. They are complicit . They are part of the demand side of the equation which clearly doesn't balance .

[Wondergirl]

Why were "9 unarmed black guys who resisted arrest ... shot last year by police"? If they had been white, what would the cops have done?

[tomder55]

When we are talking these numbers, the difference is not consequential .

[Wondergirl]

But the skin color seems to be the issue during every confrontation with police.

[tomder55]

all 9 of them .

[jlisenbe]

Uhm…unarmed whites were also shot, and more of them than black Americans. Go figure.

[Wondergirl]

I have a white 6'3" nephew who's in jail for aggravated assault to a cop who tried to break up a fight my nephew was in. No bumps or bruises on my nephew. Wonder what he would have endured had he been Black....

[jlisenbe]

So how could skin color be the issue in “every confrontation”?

More whites than blacks. How can that be?

Are you not the exact kind of person Tom was describing?

[Wondergirl]

Skin color determines the reaction. My nephew wasn't reciting Bible verses or blessing the cops with holy signs and words.

[jlisenbe]

With whites also? How can you explain that? More whites are shot than blacks, but skin color determines the reaction? I'm not getting your point here at all.

[Wondergirl]

Find a reference librarian and do some honest research.

[jlisenbe]

Too late for that. I've already done it.

First you said, "But the skin color seems to be the issue during every confrontation with police." When I pointed out that more unarmed whites are killed than black, which I discovered by doing the "honest research" that you did not seem willing to do, it did not phase you at all. That's what I don't understand about you. When faced with clearly contradictory facts, you just keep on going as though you had seen nothing.

"For Washington Post’s definition of unarmed, 45% of the victims were White, while 25% were Black. For toy weapons, 50% were White, and 15% were Black. For vehicles, 41% were White, and 30% were Black. For all of those cases combined, 44% were White, and 25% were Black."

Of course! A college blog!

So police DO NOT take note of skin color at every confrontation.

[jlisenbe]

Well done.

[Wondergirl]

At least SOMEONE did well.

[tomder55]

It is a bunch of nonsense . The supposed racism and guilt that is piled on by woke academia and now in corporate board rooms is Al Sharpy Sharpton and Jesse Jackson shake down street 2.0 . This had led to BLM accumulating massive donations.
How is that money being spent ? Co-founder Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac; a self proclaimed 'trained Marxist "used the money the organization grifted to buy four homes. One of them is in elite Topanga Canyon California .She spent $35,000 for a security fence around the property . Her personal real estate is valued at around $3 million.
Playing the race card is lucrative business.

[jlisenbe]

They don't care about black people. If they did, they would be trying to do something about the several thousand black people killed every year by black criminals. They would be trying to do something about the 300 thousand black unborn babies killed every year in abortion clinics.

It's about power and money.
