because you seem not to understand what you are saying
okay
go ahead
So, when blacks are killed by white cops, the majority reason is that they are racist and the various factors looking into other reasons are not acceptable. When blacks are killed by black cops, the reason must be that they are self hating racists and the various factions looking into other reasons are not acceptable.
see
all cops should have bias trainings
The number 1 sign of any mental illness is attributing motive to people
who dont have them
Does that sound right?
thats what you are doing
without evidence you are attributing motive
here's what i'm saying
you actually, non-sarcastically have a mental illness
There's no motive to shooting a criminal
and are incapable of looking at information objectivly
Other than the fact that they're a criminal
listen
(we have)
black people commit more crime proportionally. (why? I claim it's because of poverty, among other factors). cops then start to believe black people are more likely to be criminals. in some sense, this is "rational", ok. but then innocent black people are more likely to be treated with force/shot
@casualgardener okay
Then if its because of poverty, why is it that in the Minnesota trans-racial adoption study it was proven that african americans under perform regardless of the family that they were adopted into, controlling for economic levels?
Theft is caused by the lack of money, obviously, but who says they're always being treated with force?
Do what the cops say.
okay, truthfully i believe there are some serious additional factors at play, but poverty is the easiest one to argue from
why are they in poverty
?
Poor communities
And you understand that the black community is not poor
right
if you were to take all blacks in america and make them their own country
they would be the 18th richest population in the world
yes, being in america makes one naturally more wealthy than many other places
but that doesn't mean one isn't poor
yes it does
25% of the black population is below the poverty line
Relative poverty line
The REAL poverty line is less than $2 a day.
it's essential to situate poverty within cost of living in location
the idea of living on 3$ a day in america is really absurd
Obviously not in the neighborhoods in poverty, as you put in
