What will the Trump administration do about them?

I'm pretty sure the administration will support this movement. I voted for Trump largely because he showed solidarity with marginalized groups. This should not be any different.

I would hope that the majority of people would reject a racist movement like BLM, I do not have a negative view of cops though.

What's racist about BLM is the response to it. The places that people like you pull the sources from to paint the narrative that BLM is racist. I mean, WHERE WOULD YOU GO TO FIND THAT SHIT? Why are you looking that shit up? It's pretty fucking obvious that it's white supremacist recruitment sites.

So many people in this topic are so desperate to not have the focus be on how the data fully explains why they're perceived as racist. One going so far as to say "not all white respondents". No, just y'all though.

To be fair, that was back when there was still ambiguity in the Michael Brown case. By the time more info came to light that painted a more accurate picture of what happened, they were already too committed.

It's a shame BLM's decline is gonna be attributed to Trump instead of it reaching critical mass.

It was around since Trayvon Martin.

I think Trayvon/Zimmerman is considered a separate thing, since it didn't involve cops (just a cop wannabe). It did reignite conversations about how people are quick to shoot blacks tho. BLM itself became "official" starting with Michael Brown.

So, how long after a black man runs up behind me, knocks me down, sits on my chest, and starts slamming my head into the pavement, all with no physical provocation whatsoever, am I supposed to wait before it's socially acceptable to defend myself?

That's literally what Trayvonn Martin did before George Zimmerman shot him to death.

So, if the argument is that Zimmerman was 'too quick' to defend himself from such, what is the socially acceptable period of time to let a black man assault you?

Well first of all, you shouldn't stalk him to his home and threaten him.

Also literally never can you shoot him. Ever. He's hitting you with his hands. Physically. Shooting him is escalation to the highest level. In any other case, some prison time will happen.

Also also, the only person who said that happened is the killer, Zimmerman. We can't get Trayvon's side of the story because he's dead.

HvE25aa posted...
Lol. BLM still thinks Mike Brown was a good kid.

It really doesn't matter if he's the scum of the Earth. The shooting remains wrong as he did nothing to warrant it. Police should not just shoot everything that threatens them. That's basically devolving them to thugs with guns.

Not the past. It still happens. Also not mistakes. Those are blatant acts of terrorism that involve deaths, rapes, severe injuries, and holding people down economically and socially and providing them literally 0 rights and then killing them when they have the nerve to thrive on their own outside of your society.

Literally none of your responses have a correct statement. You ignore forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, and video surveillance to continue to believe outright falsehoods so you don't have to learn anything

You mean sources like these?

https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2017/07/a-new-study-finds-white-dallas-police-officers-dont-disproportionately-use-less-than-lethal-force-against-minorities/

Or these?

http://www.swacj.org/swjcj/archives/7.2/Klahm%20and%20Tillyer%20Article%20(5).pdf

None came from any "white supremacist recruitment center", unless you count the Dailycaller as a white supremacist site (someone better inform all the black and brown people who write there of that, lol), or Google. Perhaps if you ever ventured away from your anti-white huffpost safe space, you'd know that there are non-white supremacist conservative sites that GASP, actually inform their readers that there is academic literature disputing the BLM narrative. How dare they! They must be white supremacists, asserts Kineth!!!!!!

What's racist about BLM is the response to it.


Did you ever see the BLM response to the justified shooting of Antonio Martin?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Antonio_Martin

I did, and I watched as legions of BLM racists tried to stick it to a white cop for defending himself against a black man that pointed a gun at his FACE -- something caught on surveillance -- all because they hated his race. I watched as they tried to claim that the police doctored the video. I watched as dozens of racist memes and comments got retweeted. Don't get me started on the Milwaukee riots debacle and the social media aftermath of Micah Johnson. You're not going to fool me into believing that BLM isn't brimming with bigots who only care about these black lives because WHITE people took them. It's no different than how the far right "cares" about all those sexual assault victims perped by "Muslims". They only care because people from a group they hate assaulted "their women". It's about the "other". It's racist hatred, and it's not racist to call it out.

Here's some literature that you'll never read about at the NYT, Salon, Huffpost, Waspost, etc.

Early studies reported that officer race/ethnicity was not related to the likelihood or
appropriateness of police use of force in general, or the use of deadly force, specifically
(Friedrich, 1980; Geller & Karales, 1981). More recently, this finding has been confirmed by a
series of research studies. While the majority of research indicates no consistent relationship between officer
race ethnicity and use of force,
a few recent studies have produced divergent results suggesting
Black and White officers differed in their use of force practices. For example, one of Sun and

Similarly, Garner et al. (2002) reported mixed results, as they discovered that Hispanic officers were more likely than White officers to use force, while Black officers and those classified as “Other” were no more or less likely to use force compared to their White counterparts. These relationships, however,
only pertained to the prevalence of force. When severity of force was their outcome measure,
officer race/ethnicity was not a significant predictor. Thus, officer race/ethnicity appears to have no consistent effect on use of force by police.


Yet note how often BLM bigots emphasize the race of the white cop as if that is relevant.

I still remember how BLM focused on that sole white woman who gave false testimony in favor of Wilson and mostly ignored the 8 "witnesses" that admitted to fabricating their testimony in order to incriminate Wilson. The BLM trolls at Gawker ran several pieces about this white woman and made it sound like she was the reason the grand jury refused to indict. The intellectual dishonesty of BLM supporters is sickening.

It doesn't matter that Wilson is a white man. It's still wrong for a multitude of "witnesses" to fabricate testimony against him, as he did nothing to warrant it.

Black crime (or rather, disproportionate levels of black crimes compared to other races) is most of the reason the police have the attitude towards that group that they do. Ignoring the enormous disparity in crime rates (especially violent crime) has always been the elephant in the room for BLM.

Also, I love how white folks in general tell on themselves when they bring up black on black crime because it tells me two things:

1. They haven't done even the barebones research into efforts to combat violence in urban communities (hell, I was in 3 after school and summer programs growing up. That's not counting sports), which means that

2. They only care about black on black crimes in the sense they can use it to silence other efforts at achieving equality black people

I don't see how anybody can be neutral with police brutality. regardless of the shades of the victim. if one's sense of justice is limited to which people are asking for it, they should get called out for the double standard.

Black crime (or rather, disproportionate levels of black crimes compared to other races) is most of the reason the police have the attitude towards that group that they do. Ignoring the enormous disparity in crime rates (especially violent crime) has always been the elephant in the room for BLM.


Maybe, but BLM has always been(and everyone knows this) about police misconduct towards African Americans.

Can you give proof of police misconduct?


BLM has only ever been about white cops killing one of their own. Despite the fact that every credible study on the issue (some of which I posted up thread) has found that white cops are no more likely to use force than cops of other races. If anything they're less likely (as in that DOJ Philadelphia PD study which found that black cops were twice as likely as white cops to shoot unarmed black men in cases of threat perception failure). Despite the fact that according to the vast majority of studies (also posted up thread), black suspects are no more likely to experience force than other races when confronted/arrested by a cop. BLM's lone talking point that is backed up by some evidence are based on studies that suggest that blacks are more likely to have their cars searched after a stop (these studies often have extremely low sample sizes for white drivers that skew the stats and the differences are meager). The two DOJ reports on Ferguson and Baltimore built their whole cases around these types of studies.

Now this doesn't mean that because there is no convincing evidence of systemic racism that some police departments can't be corrupt or bad (studies in the 80s and 90s found that the "neighborhood effect" and not race was likely the main reason for abusive policing), but this is not about "black lives mattering less than white lives". It's white lives that matter less here, at least as far as the media is concerned. Unless she is a white woman from an upper middle class background (see Justine Damond).

Also, I love how white folks in general tell on themselves when they bring up black on black crime because it tells me two things:

1. They haven't done even the barebones research into efforts to combat violence in urban communities (hell, I was in 3 after school and summer programs growing up. That's not counting sports), which means that

2. They only care about black on black crimes in the sense they can use it to silence other efforts at achieving equality black people


these clowns are easily spotted because they use the same tactics and rhetoric as the people who came before them.

they argue against facts with hypothetical scenarios, anecdotal evidence, and just plain playing dumb. they make claims that a quick Google search can contradict, lolololol. but these people think they shouldn't be excluded from conversations, lol
