Acting weird has been the cause of deaths in this nation since before it was even a nation. Every day, kids are beat up because they act weird. Violence against people deemed outside of the norm is so common that we can probably hypothesize that there is a genetic/evolutionary force behind it.

Acting weird is not justification for use of lethal force, in my opinion.
Let’s just shoot everybody that acts weird. That’ll solve all of our problems.

I'm not disagreeing with you: acting weird has been used as the justification for violence for a long, long time. I'm just saying that this is an injustice.

Oh I agree it was an absolutely bullshit charge. I was just pointing out to brian that they did cite a reason for his arrest, even if total bullshit.
Anybody can accidentally use a fake bill if you pay in cash frequently. The forgery charge is such shit I'm surprised more people arent outraged by that alone.

He wasn't actually arrested on a forgery charge. He was arrested (and killed) on suspicion of forgery.

Of course it is. But look what happens when you act the opposite. If you act completely nonchalant you can walk 10 feet away from a cop with a lit joint in your hand. I once had a five minute conversation with a conservation officer about mushroom hunting. I was sitting inside my jeep, he was standing outside, and I had two five gallon buckets of marijuana clones in back. He saw the buckets and started asking me about mushrooms. I was able to act natural because it was May, and I had practiced this scenario in my head many times.

That's why The Elite promote and endorse the racism narrative instead of the classism narrative. Many white people reject the BLM movement because it purposely excludes the law enforcement abuse of whites instead of non-whites.
The BLM movement actually suckers MANY white people into believing that law enforcement won't abuse them and they're better off than non-whites, obviously they learn the hard way when it lands on their doorstep.
Would it be a very smart strategy if BLM addressed and protested the scenarios when white people are on the receiving end of police abuse? Yes, but that's not very likely to happen for obvious reasons.

White is the absence of color in pigment. If you add every color in pigment, you get black.
You're thinking of white light which is the presence of all color.

Technically, I guess everything with a label can be divisive depending on who you ask, but that doesn't make it a negative by default. There are clearly different races, whether you want to call them "races" or not can be up for debate. But modern humans aren't just different shades of the same exact hominid. East Asians have the highest amount of Neanderthal DNA, followed by Europeans, and sub-saharan Africans have the least amount but also a notable amount of "ghost DNA" from a so far, unconfirmed hominid, which some think may be Homo Erectus.
But "people of color" is always meant to compare to "white" people in some political way for some sort of leverage, doesn't matter if my Korean neighbor is more pale than me, he's still a "poc" somehow. While I'm not literally "white." I go from peach-ish to light brown depending on the time of the year.

If two average africans are genetically more different than an average african and an average european, then calling them all "black" is a bit unscientific.
There are way more "races" within the subsaharan population of Africa than in the rest of the world combined.

Of course not. The ability to make distinctions isn't a negative thing at all. I would argue the ability to make distinction between different categories is one of the most fundamental tools of human intelligence. That said, labels don't simply exist to divide things into categories. Labels can also make statements about the members of the categories they distinguish between.
For example, we could argue that the word n***** was a term for racial distinction. However, it was historically used by white people to demonstrate not only that they were different from people of color, but also to assert their superiority to them. That's why people of color have a problem with white people using that word today.
I believe the reason that "people of color" is seeing more use nowadays has to do with who is putting the label on whom. In the US, what it means to be "white" is determined almost exclusively by white people. White people have the luxury of being able to form a racial identity on their own terms, which is not a luxury that people of color are afforded. In the US, a person of color's racial identity is always determined in comparison to a standard of whiteness created by white people. Being white means being in a club that people of color are not allowed in. However, saying that this applies the other way around would be to ignore the benefits of being in one club versus the other. Nobody who is in the "white club" wants to leave, but people of color would love to enjoy the benefits that being in the "white club" entails (more wealth, access to better healthcare, access to better housing, less likely to be incarcerated, less likely to be the victim of police violence, higher paying jobs, more political power, etc.). Being white is exclusionary, and "person of color" is a label for one of the excluded.
Using the term "Person of color" is not an act of "othering" white people by black people. "Person of color" is the result of the "othering" of non-white people by white people.
