George Floyd murder / Derek Chauvin guilty of murder

[SebastianBlue]

Nope. You inferred that. I simply showed you that disproportionate rate of representation does not prove discrimination. That said, let me infer right back at you. Are you saying different populations commit all crimes at the same rates?

I didn’t infer anything, I asked a clarifying question based on the text of your response.

And now, my dear, we are going doing a very dark and deep rabbit hole.

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end! “I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?” he said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth.”

So I take it you don't think all groups commit all crimes at the same rate. I didn't think so.

I pray that the NFL players have the guts to not play when the time comes. If we get to opening weekend and they sit out people will be pissed off enough to call for real change.

No they won't. Why do people think this?

I.w people won't call for 'real change' because the NFL stopped playing.

With all of the upheaval surrounding sports getting cancelled because of this I'm starting to believe this may be the way forward. People are fine with Black people getting killed but when they start taking away sports people will act.

I only hope this happens when we have our next school shooting.

I think it may be the best chance for real change.

Oh if only it were *just* conservative media. We’ve got a few on our own forum doing the same:

They won't play, not a chance. NFL has been a part of this in the past when Kaepernick and Reid knelt years ago. With MLB and NBA leading I can only see NFL following.

I don't think it will make any difference though, not whilst you have dickh*ads like Trump in charge who is actively standing in the way and blurring the lines because it's politically beneficial to do so.

It's incredible where politics has taken us, there are some people who actually believe that there is a silent majority of fellow racists to stand in solidarity with against these movements.

Whether people like any aspect of BLM or not, think it's marxist, left-leaning or whatever, the core message is very clear. It doesn't just preach protest against racism but it also asks people to examine their own values and prejudices because I know I have.

Whatever your political point of view, I think we can all agree that black people shouldn't be mistreated, shouldn't be discriminated against and they certainly shouldn't be shot and killed where otherwise the white man wouldn't be.
