White guy gets killed by police, no one notices.

So as a black man you feel safer around white cops (say getting pulled over);than other black people (who you happen to be passing walking in the "hood"😉? Is this what you're suggesting?

I've had better experiences with white cops than with black people walking around in the hood, so.....

Number of blacks killed by police: 132
Number of blacks killed by other blacks: 2,245

So out of 2,377 murders of blacks, police committed only 5% of them, yet you expect me to believe that they're the worst problem of the black community?

Well, aren't there like 30+ times as many black people as there are police in america?

Lol nice deflection. I wasn't asking statistics. I asked a question to a scenario you yourself posed. White officers killing blacks isn't THE worst problem in the Black community but it is a problem as blacks are often targeted.

Exactly, which is why blacks acting like police are the worst problem is ridiculous. The 95% problem of gang violence is only slightly addressed, but for the 5% problem, we'll march in the streets by the thousands? That's complete BS and hypocrisy.

Statistics were the basis for the answer.

If it's not the worst problem then why is it the problem that gets the most attention and protest? If blacks are willing to march in the streets by the thousands for a 17-year old killed by police, but not 17-year olds killed far more often by gang violence, clearly there is a prioritization problem.

You lack any acceptance of responsibility. It may seem like a good thing but it's exactly why you will never truly be free or viewed as a man.

Who's marching in the thousands? You mistake a few disorganized people with a tumblr account as an actual movement. And as a black person you sound disingenuous. ALL blacks dont act like police is the problem. Chicagos inner city murder rate is yesterdays news.

It's this type of thinking that is a huge problem. I don't mean to be callous but the murder rate shouldn't be yesterday's news. It is a very big problem and should be focused just as much if not more than this police shooting issue. The fact that people acknowledge the inexcusable murdering of blacks at the hands of each other and then chalk it up as yesterday's news saddens me. This type of attitude on a mass scale is a big reason why nothing has changed in those communites imo.

I didn't say you said it was excusable. I said that it was acknowledged as inexcusable and chalked up as yesterday's news. If something is recent, does that make it more important somehow?

A 17 year old gets murdered by the cops
The cops are found innocent and there is no justice
Thousands of protesters

A 17 year old gets murdered by gangs
Nobody wants to "snitch" so there is no justice
Zero protesters

See the problem?

This guy noticed

Who is he?

Yes. In the eyes of the media a death that happens today is more important than one that happened yesterday. Thats y it's called "news". I cant see y u cant grasp that concept.

Sin you ever heard of the cliche stuff that is done with blacks sometimes..you know, the person who crosses the street because she see's some unknown black men hanging out further down the street? Or the person who immediately gets nervous when they are on public transportation late at night and a strange black man gets on.

Would it surprise you to know a lot of black men have these same exact feelings in regards to other blacks? I think the average non-black would be surprised how many blacks express these reservations, when you'd think it would just be little old white women or something.

I'm not asking about the media. I think we all are aware of their agenda. It's what you think that I am interested in.

Yea I've heard it. It's stereotyping. White men have a higher chance of being rapists but you dont see women crossing the street en masse when they appear.

Not sure what point youre trying to prove. As a woman ANY man i see that I dont know is a potential threat.
