That's racist!

[Carl Pickens]

It happens to minorities to a proportionally larger degree than it does to caucasians.

Perhaps you should quit your job and go on a personal white guilt cuck crusade

 

[Carl Pickens]

Actual racists.

Now which one of you guys lives here? i'm sure we have a few posters in the video.

Look at them bro.... not one of them appears to have an IQ over 85. These are what white people refer to as white trash..... they’re the inverse of hood rats

Wtf do you mean ^^^This^^^? I thought you said she got shot because she was black

Looks like the leftists are saying that AAs and Latinos are inferior.

But this month, the California Supreme Court, which oversees the state bar, agreed to lower the passing score for the exam, a victory for law school deans who have long hoped the change would raise the number of Black and Latino people practicing law.

Now imagine what will happen when black lawyers are assigned to black defendants, and the whites get whites. And we still see the discrepancy in who goes to jail.

This is making the system more racist. Are you going to be able to reject a black lawyer on the basis of standards? Are they going to get paid less?

Crazy old 85 year olds who answer calls on a landline from strangers. Who woulda thunk it? lmao

Actual representative Americans don't take calls from people they know then answer a poll. Only super old people sitting at home answer these. lol

Lets not also look at the known unreliability of Rasmussen and the intentional miswording to make conservatives look better.
For example: "Given a choice between black lives matter and all lives matter, 44% of blacks – and 30% of all voters - say black lives matter more. "
BLM is nothing about mattering more, They intentionally misword questions.

This is pretty funny.

Well this brings up an interesting point: should White people be representing black defendants? If white people created the justice system as a way to oppress blacks, wouldn’t a white lawyer be doing everything they could to make sure you end up in jail? Should we assign lawyers based on the defendant’s race? Should a black defendant’s appeal based on ineffective black counsel be considered a hate crime?

 

[hndog609]

I've stated this before but I'm extremely iffy on polls in general anymore. That's not tied to any particular subject matter (or political leaning), I've just lost a lot of faith in how representative polls are these days.

They also use online surveys now. But there are still some people that answer a phone.

 

[k-town_king]

No. That's why "polls" should be taken with a boulder of salt.


A large enough and diverse enough sample size with good poll questions can give you a good idea of what is going on. Not many of those now with people no longer answering unknown calls or having landlines.

What bad decisions did B. Taylor make? She was at home sleeping in her bed when she had her door kicked in and got shot multiple times because law enforcement was looking for someone who had already been arrested. She was not harming or threatening anyone and was a RN working on the front lines of the pandemic. Her only crime was being black. We're not at risk because we're middle-class white guys. Please tell me what she did to deserve what happened to her. Can't wait for your answer.

Not that it has anything to do with the facts of the case and the no knock raids, but she was not a nurse nor would I think she would be working on the front lines of a pandemic in early March.

EDIT: This is not my work but I agree with it.

No it doesn't.

Even if so (which I'm not conceding on your say so btw) are you suggesting white lives don't matter when it happens to them?

You had to go to the ku klux klan capital in some tiny Arkansas town to find people who are racist douche-nozzles. Kind of proving the point that racists are largely irrelevant. They aren't mainstream, and every reasonable American thinks those people are pieces of of cat sh*t.

Any type of link to this?

Lets look at some empirical data -

We will be using three sources. One is a government source, the other two are far left sources just so leftists can't reject them.(I'd hate to use sources race baiting democrats don't find reputable)

Source 1: Table 43

Source 2: Here’s How Many People Police Killed in 2017

Source 3: The Data Is In: Police Disproportionately Killed Black People in 2017

All sources are about 2017.

Using just these sources, We disprove outright the claim that police disproportionately kill blacks. To do this, I am going to compare populations. I will not do the dishonest thing, and compare total populations. Rather, I will compare criminal populations. This is an important distinction, because it completely sidesteps dishonest arguments based on the per capita population, because no population is made entirely of criminals except the criminal population.

According to the FBI, the total number of arrests in 2017 was 8,162,849. According to The Root, the total number of people killed by the police in 2017 is 1,129. We are going to add those together to get a total attempted arrests, presuming that any incident that ended in death would have otherwise ended in arrest. This total is 8,163,978.

1129 is 0.0138290427% of 8163978, or ~0.014%. That is 14 in 100000. That puts your odds of surviving any arrest at ~99.986%.

According to the FBI, in 2017, blacks were arrested 2,221,697 times. According to DiversityInc, blacks made up 27% of people killed by police. Please note, they do not give a number, but a percentage. 27% of 1129 is 304.83, or ~305. Adding those deaths to the arrests, we get 2,222,002.

2222002 is 27.2171483069% of 8,163,978, or ~27%.

Please note the proportions. 2222002 is 27% of 8,163,978. 305 is 27% of 1129.

These numbers are proportional. Blacks are not being disproportionately killed by the police. 305 is 0.0137263603% of 2222002. Please recall that 1129 is 0.0138290427% of 8163978. Blacks are actually killed slightly less than the total percentage. But those percentages are both ~0.014%, or 14 in 100000. Black criminals have a nearly equal survival rate as the total survival rate. In fact, their chances are slightly better.

In conclusion: blacks made up ~27% of the total crime, and ~27% of the total death. The odds of surviving a police encounter were ~99.986% in total. The odds of surviving a police encounter were ~99.986% as a black person. It's time to stop letting people lie about this.

Then we can keep going with empirical data showing how of the officers that actually shoot people a higher % of the officers that shoot are black officers whether the victim is white or black.

In b4 k-town's implication that black people can't commit crime because they're 'oppressed'.

Would you be happy if it happened more to “whitey” to even it out? Or should we solve the problem for everyone?

This is impressive. As both an adult, and a rational man, I try to always deal in facts not feelings. I fail miserably at this sometimes because as yall know, I get pizzed. This seems to be rock solid math to me however...and using leftist sources makes it much harder for a Dimwit to discredit...at least while maintaining a modicum of honesty...which we know isnt always the case.

We still need police reform. Better training and higher standards...as well as more accountability across the board. No criminal immunity etc.

We also need to have some real, honest discourse about racism. With EVERYONE keeping open minds and approaching eachother in the spirit of brotherly love that makes this country great. Need honestly from every side about making necessary changes in OUR OWN lives and neighborhoods. I dont use the term "community " if I can help it because it is liberal BS....

There is no "white community" or "black community"...people never send out the official " Bat signal" and have ALL white people or black people come together to meet at a certain place to strategize, fellowship, or do anything else. I personally wouldnt even worship at a church if there werent brown and black members. We are all Gods children whether its realized or not. We are all supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves. There is only 1 community....the AMERICAN community. In my opinion (as well as Morgan Freemans) that we should ALL be simply "Americans" and anything added to that is racist/sexist/ dumbest/etc.

I do think it is pretty clear that for at least a very vocal small % of folks, we have some problems to address. Ok...let's get honest and get down to coming up with real world attainable solutions. Hate and anger never solved a damn thing. Hate begets hate. Anger begets anger. Then we all suffer or maybe even meet our ends.

Yall can clown me for sounding cliche if you want to. I believe what I have said though...I also believe that these problems are in large part due to this country and world at large turning their backs on God Almighty...but that folks is a talk for another time and place...probably by those more studied and loquacious than me. Go Vols.

A Note About Our Product Naming
To Our Valued Customers:

In light of recent feedback and attention we’ve received about our product naming, we have some things we’d like to say to clarify our approach.

A few weeks ago, an online petition was launched calling on us to “remove racist packaging from [our] products.” Following were inaccurate reports that the petition prompted us to take action. We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist. We do not make decisions based on petitions.

We make decisions based on what customers purchase, as well as the feedback we receive from our customers and Crew Members. If we feel there is need for change, we do not hesitate to take action.

Decades ago, our Buying Team started using product names, like Trader Giotto’s, Trader José’s, Trader Ming’s, etc. We thought then—and still do—that this naming of products could be fun and show appreciation for other cultures. For example, we named our Mexican beer “Trader José Premium” and a couple guacamole products are called “Avocado’s Number” in a kitschy reference to a mathematical theory. These products have been really popular with our customers, including some budding mathematicians.

We constantly reevaluate what we are doing to ensure it makes sense for our business and aligns with customers’ expectations. A couple years ago we asked our Buying Team to review all our products to see if we needed to update any older packages, and also see if the associated brands developed years ago needed to be refreshed. We found that some of the older names or products just weren’t connecting or selling very well; so, they were discontinued. It’s kind of what we do.

Recently we have heard from many customers reaffirming that these name variations are largely viewed in exactly the way they were intended—as an attempt to have fun with our product marketing. We continue our ongoing evaluation, and those products that resonate with our customers and sell well will remain on our shelves.

Trader Joe’s has been a unique, fun and neighborly place to shop for over 50 years. We look forward to taking care of our wonderful customers for many future decades.
