Yet amid all the hype, let us not lose sight of reality: No matter how much the media attempts to stir up racial strife, the fact is about 70 black people are killed by other black folks for every one killed by a white police officer. White police killings of black people are simply a non-issue compared to what black people do to each other, unfortunately.
Appeal to Worse Problems - TV Tropes
Sorry if someone robs a store and then tries to grap an officers gun they will likely end up shot.
I certainly wouldd expect to be if I did that.
I believe I have seen Bill Cosby make that exact point but in a more broad sense, making the argument that the smartest thing for blacks to do at the moment is to stop whining about their alleged abusers, get off their asses, and attempt to build a better life.
He did not get very far, and not because he is a twisted sex fiend.
Stop running away from the truth. "Fix the big problems, and the little problems will take care of themselves."
protesting racism seems like it would make for a better life
nothing worng wiht focusing on other problems and they may very well be worse problems but using them to brush off something else is some bull****
MLKWe must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
but you seem to be the one running away police racism is not a thing or justified becase of black on black violence realy?
The "Justice" system is a disaster, making this all about the subsection of this disaster called the grievances of the black community is brain numbingly stupid.
MLK
And yet we find that America @2016 is EXACTLY that stupid.

I am starting to think that there are members here who would rather climb a tree to cry about ONE wrong than to stand on the ground and fix them all. If your group is willing to ignore the hundreds of deaths as a result of black-on-black violence to perpetuate an agenda built around one as yet unresolved case, then I would have to conclude that you are disingenuous at best and disgusting at worst.

In the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown in the US, a number of pundits and politicians downplayed the seriousness of possible police misconduct by saying that black-on-black crime is far worse, falling squarely into this trope.
yes focusing on 1 problem and excluding all else stupid got it
dismising 1 kind of injustice out of hand by using another even a larger 1 as an excuse still dishonest bull****
Stupid is trying to make the Officers Mess (The black Experience) ship shape when the boat(America) is sinking.
and we're back to the appeal to worse problems
tell you what when the alien zombi russians invade or yellowstone erupts ill ignore racism

YES!
We need to relearn how to prioritize threats and problems.
Very few people possess this skill anymore, and this is a huge ****ing problem.
no in this case you can multi task
at least till are comrades from beyond the stars and the grave show up

Even when you multitask you prioritize problems, though I saw some research about a year ago that says that if we do multi-task we will on average do the work less well. Slower too I think they said.
You are up a creek without a paddle.
Are you ready to concede?
:cowboy:
Very interesting. The most remarkable sentence seemed to me:
"How did we get here? The Welfare Industrial Complex has produced generational government dependence that has devastated black families and communities and created the criminal underclass of black thugs the police are killing today. "
This is rather tricky for us all, as it says that we successively initiated a set of policies over 60 years based on a type of thinking that does not work. The ideology has taken hold of political thought in all areas of society and has created a large base of citizens whose lives depend on it. After all, it puts the thinking behind the civil rights movement in question. It will be very difficult to identify and unwind the policies that are gnawing at our roots.
no still just figure you would rather ignore this and that it immoral and pointless to do so
Figuring out what matters and how much is pretty much the entire trick to living life well.
You might want to think on that some.
becase black people are just lazy criminals who need the threat of death to be decent people
like people would rather attack wellfair then racism
That is not at all, what I read out of that. I am not even really sure that I understand how anyone could. Would you be willing to explain your statement?
