They are using percentage, not totals.

True. Where in heck is humblegunner during the one frickin’ time in which his presence could actually be useful?

A fundamental lack of faith, or blatant disbelief in God Almighty.
If you truly believe in God, you will know that HE has placed you where you are. There is no guilt in being who you are and where you are. There is no shame in being who you are and your place in life, no matter what it is.
Period.

The real racists are those who capitalize the B in “Black” and lowercase the w in “white,” just as this author does.

Many years ago there was a black doctor in New Orleans who published a newspaper of sorts, and that rag routinely did that. The doctor was eventually charged with fraud.

And they capitalize the “b” in black, but not brown. Is one group even more special than the other?

Lemme know when Lovry Darling wants to criticize virulently racist “ethnostates” like China (99.999% Han Chinese) or virtually every “nation” on the African continent.

Oddly no one ever questions the righteousness of their exclusion of pretty much any other set of genes existing on “their” land.

Trash.

Sadly, there are some serious issues concerning law enforcement in this country that should be addressed with how officers are recruited, trained and finally the expectations and standards that are set on them when they are doing their job.

However, turning this into a “race issue” simply takes away from the real issue. All races, sexes and national origins are affected by communities that basically turn their cops into meter maids, someone with a badge and a gun that is on a power trip, a lack of discretion, etc.

Also very sad is that there are a lot (most) in law enforcement that are very professional and have genuine / good motives...

The stirring up of people and race baiting does absolutely no good, including something like 5 black police officers killed so far in riots associated with this. Trying to make sense of all this won’t work because this isn’t about rational thought, it’s all about stirring up a particular group (identity politics: sex, age, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation...). This is a chance for so called “leaders” to throw themselves in front of a crowd and scream the loudest, proclaiming to be their voice.

We look to the Middle East in bewilderment and amazement, seeing morons like Salam Daher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salam_Daher) and their media spout trash that is so epically idiotic, so ridiculous, that it’s laughable, and the Arab people believe much of it. Sadly again, it’s no different here.

I don’t see the real purpose in pointing this. It’s something that has been said a thousand times here already. I think we see more leftist news than the left does :-)

The demonically possessed individual that wrote this screed is a perfect example of Romans 1:18-32.

God has given him up to immorality and depravity.

This type of thinking is exactly what happens when you lose the ability to reason and think clearly.

I grew up on a working farm. We grew our own food. That included fruit, veggies and meat. It was very hard work but those veggies, etc sure were good in the winter time. We even had cotton. Hoeing cotton and then picking cotton is very, very hard work. It takes a lot of cotton to make a bale. Thankfully, my uncle only had it one year. No white privilege at my house.

6. If you are white you need to kill yourself to allow “breathing space” for black people.

But white supremacy is a systemic and systematic phenomenon woven throughout our society—rather than just the work of racist individuals who intentionally and maliciously discriminate.

In other words, "white supremacy" is nothing more than a White majority society.

We would ask those who desire an “accountable” or “just” police force: At what point in this history, in what period, do they believe that police became an institution that intended anything other than the reproduction of capital and the enforced social death of Black people?

Read some history. Modern policing goes back to the establishment of the Metropolitan Police in London in 1829 by Sir Robert "Bobby" Peel, hence the British nickname "Bobbies" for the police. It had nothing to do with repression of Black people. His model of policing major cities was copied throughout the world, most of which had no Black populations.

My IQ dropped 9 points by reading that piece of garbage. Now, I’m only twice as intelligent as the author.

The only thing I realize is I need another gun safe and more ammo.

If you really care about what’s going on, you need to listen to people of color before doing anything else.
................................................

Which people of color are you referring to? I listen to quite a few of them on a regular basis and they all condemn the bullshit you appear to be so receptive to. AND THEY ALL QUOTE FACT-BASED STATISTICS TO SUPPORT THEIR COMMENTS!

And...More cops are killed by armed black men than black men killed by cops.

Excellent point.
...............................................
And we shouldn’t forget that some of those slain cops are BLACK!

From slavery to secession, the KKK to “states rights” strategies, from Jim Crow to mass incarceration—we’ve been here before.

Yet you are back again, a member of the Democratic party, the party of slavery, secession, the KKK to “states rights” strategies, from Jim Crow to mass incarceration.
