By saying black lives matter they matter as much as everybody's life?. Why not say white lives matter, Asians life matter, too to make it all equal. Didn't we want want equality, does saying "all lives matter" means Black people's life matters less? How could you ignorantly say otherwise when the word is so simple to understand. Hiw could you accuse me ignorant if what i said was logical. You make fun of me by making fun of white people, you thought I'm white, apparently it's what you think this is and I think it is too black people vs white people. No, I'm not white, I'm Asian. Just like saying "white lives matter", but "other people's life matters too." De niro, this is where I stand, "all lives matter" no other meaning. I believe if that's what BML stands for they would be an absolute love group. They're expected to hate but they love. If you honestly think white people or Asian people need a movement to gain equality than this subject is obviously too far over your head for you to comprehend. As white and Asian Canadians we can't begin to comprehend what has brought African-Americans to this point, and to pretend we have any sort of clue is just insulting to all black people.

I thought since your synopsis of the report was so slanted you would appreciate it. You failed to mention how the report specifically states that this discredits BLM movement. You can be the first to start the new fury about bad touches. This will be just like Global warming turning into Climate change. Don.t let the truth get in the way of a good story. The article does that. Not the Study. The only mention of BLM in the entire Study is: "These incidents, some captured on video and viewed widely, have generated protests in Ferguson, New York City, Washington, Chicago, Oakland, and several other cities and a national movement (Black Lives Matter) and a much needed national discourse about race, law enforcement, and policy. Police precincts from Houston, TX, to Camden, NJ, to Tacoma, WA, are beginning to issue body worn cameras, engaging in community policing, and enrolling officers in training in an effort to purge racial bias from their instinctual decision making.

De niro, what ever you understood, I don't mind. You tell me to comprehend, but took an out of context quote from me and you degrade me. You Strawman I am aware of the stuff on the news, and the racism. But back to the point BML to me is not what it is supposed to be like air-cool said it is a failure.

Well honestly... you have to think about the ways in which black people don't have equality... This is mostly semantics to be fair... Legally, black people have equality... I don't think anyone here is arguing that fact I hope? But the reality is that black people currently don't get great OPPORTUNITY... This is for a variety of reasons, poverty is DEFINITELY one of them... It's got a lot to do with the reality of the average black person in not just America... Obviously, we have many people who have negative opinions or impressions of black people, a large amount of those due to fear. Because a lot of black people commit crime, a disproportionate amount, as a direct result of poverty not their skin colour... Now historically, their poverty is because of their skin colour, and that's the fault of eras gone by; however, black people are still suffering for it. I just don't understand what you want people to do about it? Like... Isn't it somewhat natural to be a little afraid of a demographic that has shown to commit more crime than any other? Not necessarily consciously afraid, or judgemental... But I think it would be strange if people weren't. I'm South African, in South Africa and Africa in general, black people are largely poor... There's a lot of blame to go around to address that... I live in Canada now, but if I were in South Africa I'd be stupid to not inherently have some fear of, and exercise caution around, black people. So what are we supposed to do about it? Casually walk into ghettos on a day-by-day basis and be extremely friendly and be fearless.. Because to not be would be racist? Should we all start paying more taxes to subsidize poor black people, and not all poor people? Nobody is denying that black people have problems, big ones, but honestly it just seems like you are going around trolling for up-votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people in Canada who I think still have a real beef about inequality is aboriginals. Of course there is still racism, but the type of systematic racism that marginalizes and demonizes black people in the US doesn't exist in Canada at that level.

The cops in Alberta have received sensitivity training, as per the earlier link I posted. From the videos of cops killing black suspects, we can tell that a lot of them are afraid. They often overpower the suspect, taser him and knock him down to the ground and are still afraid of him. So they pull the trigger. Why are they so afraid even when the suspect is completely overwhelmed and overpowered? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
