the rioters are portraying this as a racist attack "BLM" and all that, clearly it wasnt racist, but that just doesnt fit with your agenda
its all about perpetuating this story that black people arent given a fair shout, when actually i would say society bends over backwards to ensure they are treated on an equal footing, in fact i would say they get preferential treatment.
You say a lot of things. Mostly racist in content. That's why what you say is generally ignored.
It’s always someone else’s fault isn’t it though. Why are black communities plagued by crime and violence?
Do you not see here how this statement is inherently racist? You're justifying treating all black men as criminals until proven innocent just because some are criminals. You're judging someone on skin colour first before you even know them - how is this not a racist reaction?
This is the crux of BLM. Black people want to be treated like everyone else, like we as white people are treated, without skin colour coming into the equation. How difficult is that to understand?
He was killed by a Policeman putting a knee on his neck while he was already secured. The Police should be trained to bring people, regardless of what they have or haven't done, into custody with, ideally, none or if not possible the minimum of injury.
Not happy with this incident being the spark to launch a global campaign? Then look into Breonna Taylor, an entirely innocent woman shot by Police after they burst into her home.
There is only so much benefit of the doubt you can offer the US Police.

I think he is asking why is this happening just to blacks? Is that racist?
You see disparities of outcomes between Indians & Pakistanis yet they were all one big country 70 years ago with criminal gangs as standard. Yet now they are not involved anywhere near as much violent crime, Hindus/Sikhs tend to have better educational outcomes than most other cultures. Other south asian cultures after additional support are climbing the educational mountain.
The Chinese have had criminal gangs & drug dealers for centuries thanks to us supplying them, yet it is rare for them to sell hard drugs in the UK. The Chinese / Asian child is most likely to be at the top of the class.
There has to be something about being Black that changes their outcomes - what is it? Don't say racism because I would suggest Pakistani's were the most attacked in my experience.
Find out what that is and you will be closer to the solution. I would suggest partially a culture of not supporting authority is part of it. Maybe lack of father figures? Any more?
BLM are Marxists who would turn the horsemen of the apocalypse into saints if it suited their cause, they are no friends of a civilised society.
