White Lives Matter?
#22063990 - 08/08/15 06:33 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

In the last year or two, every time an unarmed black person has been killed by police, it became instant front page news. There were marches and demonstrations and loud demands for explanations. And rightly so.
But when an unarmed white guy gets shot to death, it's buried several pages deep in the newspaper. There are no marches or demands. When the autopsy comes out stating that the bullets entered the dead guy through the back, directly contradicting the officer's story, the response remains tepid.
And why do politicians get in trouble if they say "All Lives Matter" instead of just black ones? It's fucked up. This guy is Trayvon a few shades lighter. Why isn't Joe Biden on CNN telling us how this could be his son and where is the rabid prosecutor on the war path?

Quote:
The facts of the fatal shooting are not unlike other cases that have prompted national outcry — most recently the shooting death of Sam DuBose, an unarmed black man who was shot dead during a traffic stop by a University of Cincinnati police officer. . More than a week after Hammond’s death, his family’s attorney says race is almost certainly playing a role in the disconcerting silence. Unlike the victims in the highest-profile police shootings over the past year — in cities from Ferguson and Cleveland to North Charleston and Cincinnati — Hammond was white.
“It’s sad, but I think the reason is, unfortunately, the media and our government officials have treated the death of an unarmed white teenager differently than they would have if this were a death of an unarmed black teen,” Bland told The Washington Post this week. “The hypocrisy that has been shown toward this is really disconcerting.” . He added: “The issue should never be what is the color of the victim. The issue should be: Why was an unarmed teen gunned down in a situation where deadly force was not even justified?”

Because black lives are disproportionately affected by the police.
We know white lives matter, that's why the media ignores it because it won't get clicks.
In Florida two boys went missing after stealing their parents boat and trying to drive to the Bahamas. Motherfuckers are donating planes and helicopters and money and time left and right. We know white lives matter.
But black lives mattering is breaking news, which is why the media is all over it.
Pretty simple, actually.

That is a bullshit justification.
Black people are disproportionately killed by other black people, not cops. If you're going to use proportionality to justify uneven outrage at cops killing unarmed people, then the black-on-black epidemic should be front and center because it accounts for a lot more dead black guys than police-on-black killings do.
Fair is fair. Hypocrisy should be called out even when it's inconvenient to an otherwise-worthy social movement. Especially then.

It's really no surprise. White lives don't matter - that is what is implied by "black lives matter" and its true as evidenced here.

White lives are disproportionately affected by blacks, where's the outrage? It's just business as usual.

There's no outrage because it is business as usual.

Some black kid getting snuffed by the cops makes for great news, doncha see. As to the politician getting bitched out for saying "all lives matter", that seems to me to be PC gone wild. As lives should matter, the way I see it...

What if I shot your kid, and when you got upset, I shrugged and said "pshh, I shoot kids all the time."
Wouldn't that piss you off a little bit?

I think it would certainly be good for us to focus on the core of the problem here, as racism is only one facet of a much bigger issue. We really need to stop training police officers to resort to violence so quickly, and we need to strictly punish them when they get out of hand.
We need to demilitarize the police, and enforce strict regulations on when and where violence is appropriate.
The way they handle protestors is despicable also, I might add. I saw them pepper spray old ladies who were sitting down at the occupy movement. They shouldn't ever be allowed to use tear gas and rubber bullets on non-violent protestors. Protest is part of democracy.
The war on drugs has turned them into violent maniacs also.

Then why is racism always brought up, projected and presumed in these cases when there is a bigger issue? If black lives really do matter, why don't we address the biggest killer of black people in the US - other black people? I'll tell you why... Because hating whitey is what is really the issue here. Hating whitey feels good, its what we have been taught to do by schools, govt and media. There is a clear moral superiority to hating and blaming white people. It fits in nicely to our world view of innocent blacks and oppressive whites and thus prevents the uncomfortable and disturbing critical thinking that might not lead to our favorite mental default of blaming whitey.

The point is that if something bad is happening to you, someone coming along and saying "stop being a baby it happens to everyone" is a shitty thing to do.

No one is saying that, "blacklivesmatter" is a racist movement, your failure to recognize that fact is not surprising.

Does "all lives matter" really mean "stop being a baby it happens to everyone" to you? You're pretty fucked in the head.

Hell nah they dont matter bruh
This be america bruh, us black people founded america bruh, and Mozart was black too bruh
Us minorities have impunity, we don't have to take responsibility for our own actions, thus and therefore, we CAN NOT BE RACIST! It's just Science.
So saith Obama.
It's those damn microaggressions, they be everywhere cuz.
Someone above said, "because black lives are disproportionately affected by the police".
That's because "black lives" commit a disproportionate amount of crime compared to virtually every other race in the US of A. So of course the numbers on their end are going to be higher. The real problem here has nothing to do with race, is has to do with police misconduct in GENERAL. ALL human beings, ALL human lives are affected by this, not just blacks or whites. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to stop being so damn selfish. We are all in this TOGETHER, as ONE SPECIES, as ONE RACE, the human race.
The black lives matter movement is a facade, it's a charade, it's a parody. It's goal/purpose is to confuse, disrupt and agitate. The black lives matter movement is NOT a movement of peace, nor is it a movement seeking atonement. It is a movement of disparity, and it's acolytes are out for blood.

Do you seriously not understand the point or is that simply the only response you can muster? This goes for Webster, too.
I'm not saying they're right or wrong, or that i agree or disagree, I'm saying why they're getting pissed off. For the record, I'm pretty pissed off at the Soros-funded BLM for going after Bernie Sanders.
You guys should learn how to apply comprehension to what people say, instead of your own assumptions and stereotypes.
