Black Lives Matter

Wow.

Please can you answer these questions:

1. Who do you think built the Pyramids of Egypt?
2. Where did you get the rubbish that "melanin in African skin is magical and extracted from murdered Africans by white people"?
3. Also the absurd idea that "white people or 'white devils' were created as a slave race by ancient Africans in an experiment that went wrong"?

Yes, Mike Brown was a bad person and he apparently stole on the day of his murder. However, the idea that he tried to reach for officer's gun is the Officer's claim. The truth is that nobody really knows what happened in that case. People want to believe the police officer's word because disbelieving his word will clearly put him in the middle of a murder trial.

The main issue is that black people want to be treated with respect. The Charleston shooting killer, where one man killed 9 innocent church members inside a church with the sole objective of starting a race war, was treated with so much respect that you would have thought he was just a petty thief. Regardless of the race, people should be treated with dignity.

Black people don't believe th crap that you claim they believe. Many African-Americans just want to go out in the morning and come back home alive. It is not a major ask.

I really don't see how what happened 100 years ago is relevant. You can't compare inequality back then to what's it like in modern day America unless you are just completely deluded. Besides, I'm not saying they shouldn't focus on the current 'issues' they are tackling, I'm just saying they should address it on top of those other issues. In my opinion, black on black murder is a far bigger problem that anything they are currently tackling. Obviously, this wouldn't be the case 100 years ago as you stated. The whole ISIS example is hardly comparable either. This is a movement that is actively campaigning that 'black lives matter' so why are they ignoring the cause of the biggest loss of black lives? Once again, I wasn't trying to deny the issue of police brutality so why are you implying that I somehow suggested you should ignore it?

By the way, on the issue of police brutality, could you provide me with a source that proves racism is the cause of a disproportionate amount of black shootings by US police?

Nobody is ignoring the biggest loss to black communities. Black parents are educating their children about violence. Black colleges are educating their students about these issues as well. Just because they are not singing it, does not mean that the conversations are not taking place.

Are they? Source? It's not like there's been a decrease in the rate of black on black crime...

As I said, doesn't it make sense for a 'black lives matter' movement to address the cause of the biggest loss of black lives regardless?

Not for the same reasons and at the same death rate as blacks.

I said that the people who steal aren't part of the movement...

Riots happen all the time, that's how the people get their voices across when the establishment oppresses them. Of course how would you know that when you're sitting with a silver spoon in your mouth since you were born.

I should provide a source for a black mother telling her son to behave well and not to speak back at a police officer, when the officer pulls him over? or that a Black Professor at Howard University or Spelman College tells a black woman to help her community grow by tutoring the young black children during vacations? Surely, you don't think that there should be a report written on these activities?.

Like I said the black lives matter movement seeks to address the external issues in American society, while the individuals address the internal issues within their groups.

Source?

There isn't a website for common sense.
Black Lives Matter is activism centering about racist police brutality. If you want sources on police brutality, start with google. If you even need sources to discover or to believe that in the first place, my hands are tied.

With that being said no other race suffers police brutality at the hands of another race like blacks.

You know the sum total of **** all about me.

You said that the violent thugs smashing up cities and assaulting people is the movement.

I'm actually struggling to find a source that correlates the disproportionate amount of police brutality/shootings to racism. Black people are definitely 'over-represented' in US police shooting figures which is terrible, but why is the conclusion automatically racism? For example black people in the US are also 'over-representated' in many areas of crime. Could that not be a contributing factor?

Did you even read what I wrote? This isn't even relevant to what I was talking about.

*First off I am very educated in this field and all the knowledge I've accumulated in all my time studying social/racial issues before and at University, as well as real world experience, is impossible and unnecessary to link her as "evidence."

Now anyway, what do you mean, to find a source? If you're looking for "do blacks suffer police brutality more?" I'm sure you'll find something . You'll just have to put the information together yourself. Like an adult. But no, you are perversely looking for a single web link that takes you to a webpage that says, "blacks suffer racism from cops more than anyone else. Click here to go back to the page you were previously viewing." Like there's a universal go-to website with magical powers to decide things for humanity.

This is something that accumulates overtime and requires constant and numerous comparative research. Thus, most people who are aware blacks have been racially profiled and gunned down more than anyone else are going by how many times you hear it's happened to a black person.

So there doesn't really even need to be comparisons with who gets it more; "black lives matter" is simply reference to police brutality that was enforced during especially the Jim Crow/segregation era in the United States. You're obtusely asking to be spoon fed what you should already know.

There's also Stop and Frisk which was recently filed suit against and outlawed as racist for a mass of professional research that related to weed being illegal and how many times Stop and Frisk became violent, and who were the people mostly being Stopped and Frisked, the reasons why, and which level of government were they prosecuted on compared to whites for the same crime (in the United States whites are more likely to be tried at state/local level for weed, getting as much as probation; while blacks are prosecuted at Federal level for weed, getting years in prison).

I mean there's so much information and studies that have been done. You want me to do the time-consuming research for you that I've done for too many papers years ago. I also can't link lectures and conversations with professionals I've had.


**Also prove they're "over represented!" That means now it's your turn to start googling statistics about who's killed by the police more
